Question Trading in 2010 for 2011?? Opinions?

I currently have a 2010 black 2lt, but am thinking about trading it in for an '11 ss. I got the v6 for the gas milage (as i drive 60 miles to and from work each day), but now am moving and will be much closer to my new job (in germany). I looked at some 2011's the other day and really like the hud, and was surprised to see that they released they synergy in the ss (wish they would re-release the aqua blue, but...). Anyway, opinions? Would this be stupid to do?

Guess im looking for advice and opinions from ss owners and 2011 owners.

All the reasons you stated to upgrade to the SS 2011 are the good reasons you should get the SS 2011.

Not stupid to do if you don't mind taking a bath on the trade..........

I checked into trading my 2010 2LT RS A6 Sunroof/stripes with 19k miles
The best I could get for a trade was $21k which is a $10K loss for having the car for 18 months. Decided to keep what I got.

I traded a 10' V6 for a 10' 2SS! January last year. I had a 2LT for about 2 months. Then I decided to go for the SS. I have put 14K on the SS, and don't regret the swap.

If its for the HUD i know how to fix that, I love The SS but don't think the 10K lose is that good a idea.

If you're gonna take the hit, I would just wait it out and get a 2012 or at least see what it has to offer and you may get a better deal on a 2011 when they're trying to get rid of it.

I;ve had my 2LT non-RS since November. I got it cuz it was a STEAL [4k miles; $22,5] and for the great mileage; I drive 4 hours round trip for work. I'm moving closer to work now and I'm thinking of upgrading, but I can't bring myself to take that hit. I checked online and KBB put the trade at 24,5. looks like I would come out 2k ahead... or at least break even. Thoughts anyone?!

I'm like... completely just realizing this right now... uh... SS here I come?!

You're moving from Las Vegas to Germany?
Fuel prices are twice what they are here, but if you can afford to take a bath on the trade in go for it. You only live once.
