Overtime is nice, but don't ever count it as a continuing thing. It should be going towards savings or paying off debt. Sounds like if you are happy with the V6 you should stick with it,

stay with what you got. You can have just a much fun with a v/6 and maybe establish a credit history. You may want to buy a home sometime.

wait a minute hold the phone let me get this straight, you had a 2011 SS/RS and you traded in for a 2014 LS. is this what you are saying. if so how in gods name do you go from a v8 with leather seats with the 4 pack gauges and you have DTRLS. with the HID head lights. is this a joke

I was thinking the exact same thing.

ELIC1 · 12-18-2014, 03:42 PM

so this is not a joke then.

ELIC1 · 12-18-2014, 03:51 PM

just out of curiosity how old are you that you traded yout ss for a v6

camarozzzz · 12-18-2014, 03:57 PM

Not trying to be hurtful or judgmental...I just never understood this trend I quite often see here on Camaro 5. The trend I am referring to is the constant trading up and down, in and out and over and over all within what just seems months. I can't imagine there is anything being made each trade...seems like a loss every time the trade happens.

Maybe I am old fashioned, but when I buy a car I really make sure it is something I want and then I keep it until it is run to the ground.

well said.

I traded in my SS for the Denali bout a year and a half ago. I traded in my 2011 Ultra Classic because I have arthritis real bad in my hands and couldn't ride anymore. I wanted a camaro again so I got an LS because what they gave me for it and the price of the car was only about 7K difference. I flew without my oxygen mask a few times when I was in the
AirForce but I'm not that crazy to trade in a SS for an LS

2014 1LT/RS
K&N Cold Air Intake
MRT V1.0 Axle-Back Exhaust

Unfair comparison of the 6.2 engines. The Denali has less power camed diferently and the vehicle weighs about a thousand pounds more and the gear ratios are different. Do what you want You are going to anyway.

Well that puts things in a little better perspective!
I would say go in and talk to them. See what the best deal you can get is. Then walk out and think about it.
I have a 2011 SS and I love it. I'll be holding on to it for a while.

anth331 · 12-18-2014, 05:58 PM

I was just mulling my options. I knew I would get some good feed back and some not so good when you post stuff on a public website. I do try to think things out on my own. Just wanted some other views than my own.
