Need Some Advice (1LT -> 2SS)

Bottom line you'll have all of the features plus performance upgrades. Only thing you lose is backup camera BUT you still have the backup sensors which beep letting you know how close you're getting to something.

Test drove both, power upgrade is definitely there for the SS so I can see why you want to switch. If you can afford it do what makes you happy who cares what anyone else thinks.

If you really need the back up camera you get get the setup from a member on these boards. I did it, it's a simple install.

Thank you very much for the help everyone.

Comment on the 1SS: Just remember you can always interchange most of the parts a 2SS has. For the price you almost can't beat a 1SS

I agree, (and its actually what I did/am doing). However since he's already had the loaded V6 I can't imagine he'd be happy with a 1SS.

OP, get EXACTLY what you want this time. I think you'd be set with any 2SS thats in your price range.

I like how u specifically stated that u know u shoulda got the v8 instead of the v6 from the start ... But there still had to be that one idiot to ask why u didnt do it from the start .... Smh

They only sell the SS ones, so you'd need different headrests. Unless you're into that sorta thing.

I am definitely not into that sort of thing, but I bet I can pick the SS embroidery out or get some regular headrests.

Hi Everyone. Love the help I get from this forum, just wanted to say that first. Anyway I've had my 2012 1LT for about three months now, love the car but would like to explore the idea of trading it in for a 2SS. Yes, I realize I should have done this to begin with but hindsight is 20/20 so bear with me. The car ended up costing around 31K because its new and loaded with options (RS Package, Rear View, Black Stripe, Boston Acoustics, custom leather interior, upgraded polish wheels, convenience and connectivity package). So far I'm down to about 24K left on the loan. I've discussed the idea of trading my car in for a used 2011 2SS with my dealer and he said its definitely do-able. I'm paying about 430 a month now which I think is fantastic for the ride, and I told him I'm looking to be paying no more than the low 500s. I've also got a great interest rate at 2.9%. I have a couple of questions and need advice from everyone though. Do you think its worth it to trade in a newer model for a 2011 despite the obvious power upgrade? What kind of options come standard on a 2SS that wouldn't on the 1LT with what I have on it now? I know I would be getting the V8 upgrade, heads up display, heated mirrors as obvious upgrades. I would definitely want the RS package on the 2SS as well. Does it come with Boston acoustics? Convenience and connectivity? Also, I'm looking for a ride that doesn't have more than 15K-20K max miles on it. What price range should I be bargaining for? Thank you all for your help, knowledge and support as always.

Just an update - spoke with the dealer today and they said they can buy a 2011 S22 for about 26K from the showroom, and it would end up costing me somewhere around 29K. I've already paid down 8K on the car I currently have now - I'm at 23K left on the loan. My question is, do you think this is a good deal? There are going to be plenty of variables including mileage, color, etc, but I would assume the mileage would be in the 10K-15K range. Does anybody think this is a good deal? I guess my question is, since I already paid 8K on my car, does that not translate to savings on this new ride?
