...going to trade my 2LT RS IOM A6 Convertible for a 2SS RS Red M6.

I have had my current car for a month yesterday (2300 miles) and have added several mods (about $1500)

Dealer is giving me almost 4000 grand off sticker and I am getting 1000 less than i paid on my trade?

So am I nutz?

Doesn't seem like a bad deal....is the 2SS a Convert?

tramtwo · 08-04-2011, 11:37 AM

Yes

depends on what your looking to get? more power then no your not crazy. if you dont really care then id stick with a v6, insurance is less and better gas mileage

It sounds pretty fair to me.

67 Convertible · 08-04-2011, 11:39 AM

I guess you have to figure how much it's actually costing you to trade up, to decide whether you're nuts or not.

And no AFM!!! The more I read about the dreaded AFM, the happier I feel about not getting an auto V8. Hopefully GM does something aobut this in the coming years for when I am ready to get an SS.

..insurance is only going up 86 dollars every six months.

Overflow · 08-04-2011, 11:50 AM

I say go for it.

CaniacFan · 08-04-2011, 11:53 AM

I say, "do it too".. Only $86 over 6 months for insurance ($14 p/month) and a little extra at the pump (93 octance), marginal mileage difference.

On my way to the dealer. Was going to take off the CAI and MRT2's and remove my ACC bowtie and other LED upgrades. Figure the new owner will enjoy them... a little good "karma" payback. Wish me luck, see ya on the other side!!
