Trade in or not? My 2013 ls with only 76,000 miles? For 2010 ss inferno orange 92,937 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Shan · 08-01-2021, 09:06 PM

The 2013 ls is paid off! But I love the ss inferno orange 🍊 should I do it or not? They want 18,995 for it...

The advice will vary, I'm sure, but my general rule of thumb is 3 strikes and it's a pass. Higher miles, 3 years older and a payment on an 11 yr old car with nearly 100k miles. I'd pass

Inferno Orange with white stripes just explodes. I get people all the time commenting on the colour. And for some reason whenever i hit the strip i have fans for the car because it has a wow factor in a sea of black and grey cars there. Even against a C7 Vette it pops.

Yeah that color combo is amazing maaan! But I think the price is a bit high for the mileage

moezer · 08-01-2021, 10:38 PM

The mileage is not that big of a deal

Aside from some different interior cosmetics between the years I say do it since your jumping in to a v8

The price might be a bit high but you didn’t mention how much of a trade in ur gonna get for your car

If u can get them to drop the price a bit and u can just buy the car out right with your trade in then do it

The color is a head turner for sure

Ya the price is a bit to much.

morepowerjoe · 08-02-2021, 03:14 AM

I'd say go for it if you want a V8. I bought mine with 150k miles on it for cheap and cammed it at around 153k and the engine looked brand new inside. Now 7k miles later it still runs great I would just check the oil before you buy it and make sure it's clean if not then I would pass. Maybe ask if it has any service records. And after you get it I would have all the fluids changed.

Do it

redcoats1976 · 08-02-2021, 07:59 AM

i guess it would depend upon your finances.at the end of the pay period are you about out of money,or do you still have plenty left over? you may find a couple of minor issues with the new ride that need fixing,and premium gas is a requirement which will cost a little more every week.other than that,it is a good looking car.

Yes I might talk to them & ask for a even trade or come out of the pocket as lil as possible & swap rims

ariZona28 · 08-02-2021, 11:16 AM

Why don't you buy the car from them (if it checks out to your satisfaction), no trade-in and then just sell your white one yourself? This would give you some time to decide if the Inferno is exactly what you believe it to be. I know that can be a financial stretch and selling a vehicle yourself can be a hassle but it's something to think about. Also, is the SS a manual or auto trans? Maintenance records would be a big plus!
