Sell my red 2010 ss?

[joe h]

Been given an offer that is probably too good to pass, 31,000, thousand more than blue book. I bought the car January 2010 at 33,000 because my dealer was having a difficult time moving them with the bankruptcy and recession. Only 6,000 miles on it, but the stress with owning it is almost too much. The paint is ridiculously brittle, I've had it in three times because of scratches or paint chips. Also, it is almost like gm has a stop order on fixing their defects, always a fight trying to get warranty work done. On top of that you have all the ticking time bombs(heater core leaking, oil cooler leaking, rear seal, oil pan seal, drive shaft, ac compressor, and the one I fear most, the oil pump.)

But at the same time I love this car and I know I will regret getting rid of it. Any thoughts, or should I just let the damn thing go and forget about ever owning it. And there is just no way I'm ever buying another, once it's gone, the money is sitting the bank.

let it go... Life is too short for a car to be giving you stress.

I haven't even bought mine yet and i'm worried i'll stress over the paint. If you think you'd have less stress getting rid of it, i say do it. But if the permagrin you get when driving it, out weighs the stress, then keep it.

at first i thought it read 31,000 over bluebook n thought you were crazy for not taking it! haha anyways, that seems like the price is right n i'd probably let it go at that price n i love mine.. That's not a bad loss for a couple years of ownership, i like switching vehicles. Variety is the spice of life!

I don't know if it's an age thing or not, but it sure seems there are way to many folks over stressing about their cars. There is nothing in life, that should cause the amount of stress folks are talking about. There are many, IMO that should seek professional help if the little things are causing issues like this in their life.

Sell it , drink water and drive on.

I'm not being sarcastic here... If it was me I'd sell it, pocket the cash, and then wait for the next gen Mustang or Camaro.

Sell it no need to be paralyzed with fear.

Keep it. You can't replace it with anything nicer for 31k.
