What did you give up? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Trading in a piece of crap 2001 Chevy Malibu that the dealer sold to me temporarily to drive in the interim, did me well and cost me just about nothing, but really made me miss my old lease car (2004 Mazda RX-8 GT) which ran out on me just before I ordered back in March and long for my 2SS/RS

Let us know what you gave up....or will give up when your Camaro arrives.

HAHAHA...I'm giving up a 2003 Kia Spectra. Giving it to one of my daughters.

NOOOOOOOOO! Not the 70 Camaro!

I am so torn because I feel like I'm really gonna miss having the Crew Can Titan when it's time to haul a few folks around. And my wife's IS250 is so tiny. I'm 6ft 2in/250lbs. No one gets to sit behind me in her car...LOL.

Do any of you miss your truck/SUV?

marticus24 · 07-05-2009, 10:31 AM

Sold my 2007 Grand prix GXP with magnaflow catback, CAI, and custom hood :(. It was fast, but the camaro will be faster. Just gotta pay off the daily driver that replaced it (will be in october), so I can save for a few months before putting down some $ in spring for my camaro.

Everything I had was paid for but I'm getting rid of my 99 Grand Am GT1 with 170,000 miles. I have 4 vehicles in my driveway now. Gotta get rid of something. Insurance is gonna kill me. Wasn't worth enough for trade so I'm doing some work on it first before I sell it. Didn't qualify for the cash for clunkers. Actually I got better mileage out of the 99.

Anybody want to buy it?

Its got brand new tires, new brake lines, a new RF caliper, New brakes and rotors. Struts and springs 2 years old on all 4 corners. Tie rod ends, inner and outer 1 year old. Soon to have a new intake manifold gasket set and serpentine belt (as soon as I put it in). But all the bugs have been worked out of it.

Good first car for somebody.

SicSix6 · 07-05-2009, 11:05 AM

I got rid of my 1995 Z28. I had lots of time and money in that car. My current car I am Not giving up, but getting rid of is my 2005 G6.

CycelguyFL · 07-05-2009, 11:10 AM

I am giving up a 2006 BMW X5 4.4i absolutely loaded with options and is a great suv. My lease is up soon and it's time to move into something fast, fun, and what I really want. I ordered my 2ss on June 28, 2009 and expect it around November 1st.

KLR ZL1 · 07-05-2009, 11:13 AM

I just sold my 2002 gray Harley Davidson F-150 w/ only 69,000 miles on it. It was a good truck, but have been looking forward to be driving a camaro again since my 99 Z28. My 2ss/rs/blkonblk/gfx/silver rallies/pollished 20s should be here any day now.

hot ss · 07-05-2009, 11:23 AM

i sold my silverado ss to raise almost half the cash for the camaro.
and have to sacrifice my cobalt race car to summer drag strip/winter beater.
i really miss the old truck, the new escalade doesn't compare......

txaggie_08 · 07-05-2009, 11:23 AM

I'm keeping my F-150. I probably wouldn't get what its worth for it, so there's no reason for me to give it up. Its a great truck. Had it for 6 years and have 132,000 miles on it. Still runs like a champ.

bono83 · 07-05-2009, 11:24 AM

2007 Pontiac G6.

Pauls69RSSS · 07-05-2009, 11:33 AM

I haven't taken the plunge yet, but I'm thinking about trading in my '07 Tacoma 4x4 extra cab...
