Traded in my 2011 SS Vert :( - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I will surely miss the car but the holes, leaks, and wind noise just was too much. With my down payment in the Camaro and rebates on a new Maxima I was able to get out in good shape. I just hate all the issues that I had with my baby in the year and a half I owned her but lived the car. Will buy another one once my kids get older.

Sorry to hear this Brian...I can certainly understand your frustrations. Enjoy your new car and maybe there's a 6th gen with your name on it!

Saw my first ZL1 convertible this week. It was only $69,000 w/o tax and title!

I have 2012 camaro LT2 RS. All went fine till just a month ago when the transmission went South, dealer had to replace the torque converter. After replacing the torque converter I am now starting to have more transmission problems. The dealer found the transmission had not been filled up after replacing the torque converter. If this continues I will get rid of it and not buy another one. I had a 2011 before this one and it had electronic problems that went on for about 8 months I got fed up and traded it for the 2012 and this one is starting to look like another lemon.

A Camaro for a Maxima Brian??? really

Really

HDRDTD · 12-24-2012, 09:07 AM

I traded my 2011 2SS/RS Vert (with a perfectly fixed top I may add) in as well after about 22,000 miles

And bought a 2013 ZL1 Vert.!

Brian52682 · 12-24-2012, 09:12 AM

LOL yep a Camaro for a Maxima. Chevy pissed me off this time and I'd never go to the devil (Ford) and after test driving a new Maxima I was amazed at how it drove. Very happy with my maxima, it will be a good car for us with no damn leaks, wind noise, and rub marks.

Sikoriko · 12-24-2012, 11:59 AM

So your nissan has no leaks, no wind noise, and rub marks? I didn't know nissan made a rag top?
