Should i trade? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

rozay · 08-23-2013, 05:48 PM

So i bought a 2013 2 ls 2 months ago and i already have the buyers remorse. I didnt have the funds to get a ss but there is a 2010 1ss ls3 camaro with 44k miles and all maint. Has been done at the dealer. Over all the camaro is in good shape and the previous owner traded up to a zl1 camaro. My question is should i trade my 2900mile camaro for the ss? Ill be about a 1k upsidedown on the trade. The camaro is going for $23,900.

YES.

rozay · 08-23-2013, 05:51 PM

So u think its a good deal?

dkp2LT · 08-23-2013, 05:51 PM

I agree. Do it. Any mods or tunes?

rozay · 08-23-2013, 05:54 PM

No mods or tunes. Stock

dkp2LT · 08-23-2013, 05:56 PM

I'm not big on trading so fast but this one you may be sorry for passing up. Else you could wait another year and try for an 11 2SS so you could get HUD and other fun stuff.

If you'll only be upside down 1k, it may not be a bad deal. Wll financing be at the same rate and duration? Adding 1K to your payment should only be a few dollars a month difference. Normally, financing a used car opposed to a new one you'll have a slightly higher interest rate. Get all the details of the trade and make sure you are ok with them. Try not to make this an emotional decision. Let us know the details and good luck!

Will so im waiting for number as i type. Will let you guys know thanks

rozay · 08-23-2013, 06:01 PM

What about insurance? Will it go up? I have no tickets and no points

dkp2LT · 08-23-2013, 06:03 PM

Depends: age, married/single, credit rating, etc. I have heard others state it is next to nothing extra. Other young kids are paying the same as my car payment for their insurance.

Rich Gonz · 08-23-2013, 06:24 PM

My insurance went up from switching a 2012 ls to a 2010 ss, so yours may as well. Another thing is that 44k miles seems to be a tad high, how is the carfax/condition of the car? It's also worth mentioning that if you do a lot of driving, the car may not last as long (I could be wrong because I don't know how long these bad boys will kick for). If I were you I would wait to find a lower milage SS, however the SS is a beautiful machine and I could see why you would want to do this ASAP.
Just my opinion, post pics if you end up doing it though

DagoCountyGee · 08-23-2013, 06:28 PM

I wouldn't do it. You got a brand new car why would you downgrade to a 2010. Just save up a bit and wait for a 2013 low mileage SS

RA1987 · 08-23-2013, 06:30 PM

Keep your brand new car.

CamaroJim56 · 08-23-2013, 06:41 PM

goodbye bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Personally I wouldn't.

Increased insurance, increased fuel costs, 40k miles that you don't know how rough they were...

Totally up to you (of course), but that is how my mind would be looking at it.
