That's a mortgage payment for some people.

But im going to take it as a good thing and not get my hopes to down on it.

Im fine with the lower Mileage im just wondering what made it drop. Example bad alignment, something still not fixed.

Sorry man! If thats the route you want to take, Id start stripping the car now so when another one appears, you can jump on it immediately. Then I would take the parts over to the ZL1, minus the intake. FWIW, my gas mileage is 9.8.

I wish I could've got it but I don't think I was looking at the WHOLE picture my wife and I are wanting to get a house in a year or 2....... so it probably wouldn't be the smartest thing to buy something with a higher payment and longer term.

SOOOO ill just mod mine and hope for the best!

Keep SS and hold on to your money!

I was in the same type of situation a few years ago. I had an M3 for a while got serious about getting a home and ditched the Bimmer. As soon as we were well established in the new house I purchased the Camaro. Wait. The car thing never ends.

Good for you. It's hard to be responsible and do the right thing.

ZL1 dude!

caverman · 10-11-2013, 11:30 PM

I have a buddy here that is selling his '12 ZL1 with some basic mods for $47K with 7K miles. It's a black A6 and he is selling it because he found a '13 Convertible ZL1. It might already be gone but if you're interested PM me.

BTW: My vote is ZL1 if you can afford it.

TheBandit18 · 10-11-2013, 11:50 PM

I would definitely get a manual. But I'll have to wait on it. I do really want a house that has a garage! Lol

dookie454 · 10-12-2013, 01:44 AM

$50K.... but a 2014 Vette. $25K, buy a Camaro.
