How Many Of You Would Sell or Trade Your SS - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Vader,

I hear you...
My first is going to college next year with my second just two years behind that so trading my 2SS for a ZL1 needs to happen now or I'll be "stuck" with the current ride. Not a bad "high class" problem...

Work with what you got i hear ya.

Before I state my reason on why I wouldn't ever trade my SS for a ZL1 let me first say the ZL1 is an amazing car and I would love to have one but I won't ever own one.

Reason #1 being with the amount of work done to my car the only true upgrade I might be getting out of it is the magnetic shocks. On the other hand though I like being able to fine tune my suspension and Pedders coilovers are pretty damn good at that...

Reason #2 I like working on cars and learning new things which is why I very rarely take my car to a shop for someone else to install parts. I live by the philosophy of "built not bought" and to me the ZL1 is on the bought end of that spectrum.

Got back from the dealer a while ago. They basically offered my $26K for my 2SS. Said it didn't matter if I traded for something else or sold it to them outright. Not very excited about that, especially since they told me mid $27K to $28K when we discussed it. As I said earlier - worst case is that I keep it. Not a bad position to be in... Funny thing is that there was a message on my phone from them when I got home. Let the games begin...
BTW, the review on the C5 home page of the 1LE has me thinking the maybe I don't need to trade for a ZL1 afterall???

Sounds like their playing games..Car dealerships are known to be dishonest and don't keep their words at times. Not saying all is that way just some who think you don't know anything about cars or can't do any better.

I respect your reasons maybe one day if you win the lottery you can own one.

ZL-Bee · 09-05-2012, 08:02 PM

Hard to say if I would or not. I love the ZL1 but for everything that is offered for the LS3/L99 cars an SS has a lot of potential to be just as great. But getting a chance to own a ZL1 would be hard to pass up.

Blk-Ice · 09-05-2012, 08:23 PM

Hell no....has more than enough Horses and if I need air ride I can drive my Caddi!

Fraxum · 09-05-2012, 09:41 PM

Since you asked....

Is the ZL1 a very cool car. Yes.

Is it worth $15,000 more than a 1LE? To me no way.

If I could afford it I would trade my SS for that Camaro.

mr02Z/28 · 09-05-2012, 09:46 PM

I'd go for the SS w/1LE option

Pretty much SS owners would love to get their hands on the new 2013 ZL1

I did. I traded in my 2011 2SS/RS for a 2013 ZL1.
