What did you trade in for your Camaro? - Page 49 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I was very happy to give up my 7,500 mile 2008 Mustang Bullitt for my Camaro. The Bullitt was a nice looking/sounding car but it was an absolute dog as are most of the S197 Mustangs. Beyond the performance potential, the Camaro is much higher quality and the best looking American car on the market.

A fully loaded G6 GTP with every option, but I think the transmission was on its way out plus a lot of the guys with the 3.9 v6 were having head gasket problems so I dumped that car.

I had a Camaro back in July/August for a month. The one I bought had so technical issues so I returned it and bought an Impreza.

After a couple of months of just being generally unhappy with it (not the car's fault) I said screw it and dumped it for a new 2011 2SS. While the Impreza was a more "realistic" choice considering it had AWD and could actually fit into normal parking spaces, it wasn't what I wanted.

Saw a 2012 2LT that was a good fit for me (I was looking for a V6) but when I went to the dealership, they had a 2011 2SS just sitting there for a few dollars more. When all was said and done, after tax/title/tags, it was less than 2,000 more including warranty, tire protection, and oil changes. Not to mention it is a sexy V8 with all the fixings. Onstar for the year and XM for a year included made it even more sweeter.

While I'll never unleash the beast that is the V8, it's nice knowing that I can outrun pretty much everyone on the road in my area if I choose to.

I traded an 06 Chevy Aveo 5spd hatch back and $1000 (still owed on the car) Best trade I ever made.

Bad70supreme · 12-20-2011, 02:17 PM
