Any regret or remorse?

Congrats, I think you made a good choice!

Until the OP posts pics, this will have to do.

No remorse yet! She is a beauty, just take some getting used to!! The deal was way to good to pass on!! Dealer is ordering a performance exhaust and the blade spoiler for her to install later! Wheels on it are actually gonna get swapped too as I didn't want the 21's.




It was bitter sweet to say goodbye to my girl, but she will live on in my memory!! Plus I'm putting her wheels on the new one! Tried to break it to her easy, I hope she understands!




In the end, its nearly the same car from the inside. And thats the beauty of it! Loved the old one and now its just refreshed. Picked up the HUD, rearview cam, Hurst, ambient lighting, custom mats, car cover, perf exhaust and a warranty!! My cost.....$70 less every month! Sweeeeeet!

Sounds like you are happy with the deal so that's what counts, plus the refresh. I would have to get a hell of a deal to trade mine since it is an RP6 and it has been a labor of love since they announce in 2008 that they were going to production with this car. I've put a fair amount of money into it and would never recover that investment. I will drive my value out of it over the years. Maybe park it and make it a garage queen later when I can get a C7 Vette or a Z/28.

Nice looking IOM SS ! ! ! !
Congrats on the new one.

I know i only really owned my
brothers 85 for just less than 4 years
but i have known the car since new
It was hard to make the decision
to trade it off.

Good move! I traded my modded 2010SS with 85,000 miles for a 2013 ZL1 and dont regret it even though my SS was faster, for now, at the track. Love the new features of the 2013. And yes your value would have dropped after 100,000 miles as the banks dont usually finance cars over 100k.

Good decision....gorgeous car. But why change wheels, those are beautiful.

[Black_2SS]

suzook....I'm sure they would love to sell you that car!! http://www.coughlinpataskala.com/Veh...-OH/1830300003 Great dealership by the way!

Had to change the wheels as they wouldn't include in the deal as they are the 21" upgrades (plus I've bought tires for the 20's and I'd hate to pay for those!!). It was mine (plus $300 more off) or a set off a 2013 which I didn't care for so much.

You can do that if you want BUT for real...trading up to a 12 is nearly trading in for the same car. I would at least get a 2013 1LE or a 2014 1LE. If you upgrade to a 2011-2014 ss....you're still going to be getting nearly the same car. A 1LE however....completely different.

+1. But the OP will not find a deal like that on a 1LE. You can get invoice or slightly under. But you will get MyLink with the 2013. Not the best media interface, but way better than the older radio. I went for a 2011 to a 2013 1LE and loving it. Even if my '13 is slower than my '11.

And lovin IOM with the black contrasts.

Edit: Oops too late. Nice car OP and a great deal, you did good. Want to sell that IOM interior too? I like.

New car looks great! Congrats on the upgrade, you will soon forget the blkSS, until you see one driving on the streets...

[Tmick5jr]

wait for the 2014! that car will blow your mind in person

my advice is to keep paying the same or more so you can get it paid off before the miles get crazy again
