Is it time to sell the Camaro

I love my 45th 2SS Vert, but I am trying to decide if it is time to sell her and get another car. Lately it seems that she is throwing fits constantly. Here is everything that has gone wrong recently:

- Two dash insert replacements due to bubbling and now it is bubbling again.
- Top replaced due to holes being worn in the canvas.
- Top improperly installed and came loose half way down prohibiting me from closing the top while at a restaurant and not able to drive it home at 9 pm on a Saturday night.
- 5th bow break.
- Another 5th bow break.
- Passanger side airbag sensor failed.
- 1 week later driver side airbag sensor failed.
- Two tire pressure sensors failed. Got fixed and on drive home another one failed. Got fixed and now two more are failing. All sensor failures are intermittent.
- Last time it was in the rain, just after a top repair, they floor is soaking wet. I had mildew under my rear mats.
- And just today, the check engine light came on.

All of this in 12,700 miles.

Is it time to sell her and get an Accord or even worse a Ford?

Hey Nuke. Long time no see. I have the 2014 tail lights. I don't think I could get one.

New left over V8 ones? That's going to make me a little mad, local dealer told me the V8 13s were all gone nation wide months ago.

Most of your problems are with the vert, time to get a coupe. I sold my 45th vert after having it about 8months. No regrets. Also regarding the 14 lights, they are slowly growing on me. At first I did not like them, but with a dark colour car I think they look good.

Yep they even have a couple ZL1s last time I looked, last week. Also they have a few Hotwheels editions both V6 and SS in either coupe or convertible.

Edit I just checked they have 3 ZL1s and 2 SS one SS is a Hotwheels.
They also have 5 LTs 3 Hotwheels.
