I would love to get a six one of these days...tried to talk my kid into it, but he wants a Sonic...Might still get one in a few more years, depending on the used car prices...

I'm enjoying the V6 as far as a daily commuter-- nothing compares! Drove a blazer for a couple months and found I wasn't enjoying my drive at all anymore. So forget that.

I've go 28k on it in one year, and I figure I need to just suck it up and quit worrying about the mileage, and just enjoy it. It's not like I'm going to be getting rid of it anytime soon. I'll probably drive it for ten years or more as a DD, while my 2017 sits in the garage for the weekends.

I don't even know you but 43K for a 2ss would have had me running out the door. So I figured either you were joking, or just gave a salesman such a profit margin that he would still be on vacation two years from now.

No kidding. For that price I'd be looking at a lightly used CTS-V...

You'll probably be able to drive that 2017 model everyday. I'm pretty sure it will be a hybrid Z-28...

Just in my HEAD, the numbers are awful. Putting them on paper is sickening!

My car stickered for $28,095. I had $1500 off from GM, plus $700 off from a dealer promotion, so $25,895...
Plus I got a great trade-in for my 2004 Tahoe - so there's $17,545 financed at 0.9% for 60 months; I pay less than $300 a month. While I generally don't like discussing numbers like this with the general public, this is a good lesson to use them in.

I'm not upside-down on my car, as its' value is still hovers around $25k.

Let's say I got $23k back from my car. $17k ish owed since the first year of payments is all interest... so I'm looking at $6,000 as a down payment on the new SS.

Not including tag, tax, title, etc... it's $39,550... subtract $6k from that and I'm looking at financing almost twice of what I had originally financed. $33,550 at 2.9% (because there's no way I could get that deal on APR again; it was a one time special offer from my bank, and 2.9% is being conservative here)...

payment of well over $600 a month. That would be twice what I'm currently paying... just DUMB.

Like, DURRRRRRR dumb.



Forgive me if any of the math is incorrect or a little off-- I was an arts major
