Trading in my 2010 for a 2013

I am looking to trade in my 2010 2SS for a 2013 convertible. Is there anything I need to be aware of with the new models?

Yeah you might love it too much! Get the Nav and NPP exhaust if possible. Happy hunting you'll love it.

Traded my '11 vert for a '13 ......................had the top replaced on the '11 with no problems after.............reason for trade was I wanted the 6spd manual.
The NPP exhaust and Nav was a must have for me and well worth it. When we found out the convertible was coming out in '11 we waited for it and were not disappointed. Over 18,000 top down miles on the '11 and a little over 600 on the '13!
Enjoy the ride!

only thing i'm aware of that may bug you is the Hill Start Assist.. you'll get people on both sides of the fence saying it's a non issue, but its annoying as heck when you lose control of your vehicle even for that small time frame.. I've stalled twice with it unexpectedly kicking in (12,000 miles between my 2 5th gens)

a few pluses

-different steering wheel
-hud display
-mylink screen
-rearview camera? (ive heard it being a change on one of the years.. I cant imagine reverse parking this thing without it)

definitely take a look at the NPP exhaust available for the 13
