Sad day: Traded the Z

Very sad day as my camaro days came to an end. I loved this car and enjoyed even minute in it.. I was always a ford guy and always kinda had a hate for camaros but once I had driven the Z I grew to appreciate gen 5 camaros. Nothing negative about the car factored my choice to trade her in but I was offered a great price for trade in and had to take advantage. Figured the new generation camaro might have an effect on value and once a new high performance camaro was announced it might drive down the value even more.. Great car and I tip my hat off to Gm as this is the most well rounded muscle car ever made... Traded in with 12k miles and I wish I had put on more :/

What did you get?

& I wouldn't feel too bad about it. At the end of the day, it's just a car. A car that could mean something more to some, but just a car.

I bought my 2015 with the intention of trading it in three years later on a newer Camaro, maybe an upgraded model like the ZL1 or Z28.

Why a sad day for doing something that you wanted to do?

Traded her in for a 15' rubicon. I've always liked jeeps and this one has some work on it and I got it with 300 miles on the dash. Figured since jeeps hold their value extremely well that it seemed like a good trade especially for what I got in return for my camaro. I guess the biggest thing I'm sad about is that I lost a lot of performance... This thing is slower than shit but figured once 2016 gt350's start hitting dealerships I'll have a decent trade.

I like those jeeps...something about being able to just go off road whenever you want does appeal to me as well.

Nice Jeep! Like the beefy look.
But no way in hell I'd take one over a ZL1.
Did you lose your mind?

Congrats!!! Nice Jeep. Jeeps are awesome, really fun vehicles. Once Jeeping really gets into your blood, you won't miss the ZL1 or desire a GT350.

Shoulda kept the ZL1, jeeps are a dime a dozen and you will loose value on any vehicle you buy. It is a nice looking Jeep.

To me there is no such thing as a good deal when you trade in but I have to say I like the Jeep.
