Help me decide guys, keep SS or trade for cts-v? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi Guys,

So I've been considering trading my '10 2SS/RS (M6, cam, vararam, Kooks LTs and full exh, tuned) for an 09 CTS-V. Payments would actually go down this time around and the V is, obviously, loaded. I love the look and feel of the SS and I've put a lot of time and work into it, but the ironic practicality of the V plus the toys and power are very tempting. If I'm going to pull the trigger I want to do it within the next day or so. The V is going for 42k w 33k miles on it (confident I can talk that down a bit as well).

Thoughts?

The v is a lot nicer as far as luxury. But with the mods you have on your car it's more personalized. I'd say keep and sc later on.

Tough call! I debated between the two before the convertible was released. I really enjoyed driving the CTS-V, especially with those Recaro seats!

Keep the SS

If the V is a 4 door, keep the SS. If the V is a 2 door, get the V.

The Cad is out of warranty and has a lot of technology that is waiting to drain your wallet with problems.
Your modded camaro may not be worth as much as you think.
Never buy a car based on the size of the monthly payment. If monthly payments is a deciding factor, you can't afford it.

The op is looking at a four door automatic.
