Anyone else getting rid of something to get their Camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

First off, hello! I'm a long-time lurker, but 1st time poster. Lot's of useful info here, as well as good people. I like that mix.

I was just curious if anybody else was getting rid of something else so they could get their Camaro. E.g. I'm about 99% sure I'll be putting a for sale sign in my 07' Grand Prix GXP (slightly modded w/12k miles) to pick up a Gen5. I'd love to keep both, but can't afford to.

I think I can say that I like everything about the Gen5 car... and especially if it gets the LS3/LSA. I drove my buddy's LS2 GTO last weekend and that basically sealed the deal. Though the LS4 in the GP is no slouch by any means, but what is pushing me from it is that it's FWD and an auto tranny. I want a manual

and the sexiness of the new Camaro.

Since I'll have to wait a while, I'm also going to compare it with the G8 GXP to see how it ranks... though from what I'm gathering the G8 may have a higher sticker... but time shall tell I guess.

YEP... my CRAP 03 Malibu that i was supposed to trade in for a 4th gen a couple of months after I got it (I needed a car quick and my dealer/friend didn't have any 'maros at the times) but instead was hit/run by a limo that killed that plan. Now that i think about it I'll still be trading it in for a Camaro...

I just made my last payment on my Camaro this week (can't beleive it's been 5 years) and I don't think I can let go of it so I'll take both.

I'm with you. My 2K is paid for, and I wouldnt get sh*t in trade-in or sale value for it anyway. This will be a great opportunity to own two F-Bods at the same time. I'm looking forward to it!

michele.lee · 06-23-2008, 11:35 PM

yes - gotta rid myself of two cars to get my 2010 SS

- the 92 blazer 4x4 is part of my downpayment
(she's already for sale)

- the 2000 camaro is about to be my 16yr daughter's
(can we say she is EXcitEd)
(and she wants to know when i'm getting the 2010)
(and when can SHE drive it!!!)

Yep. Getting rid of the house. We gonna live out of the Kia and the 5th Gen.

....just the 02SS. I'd much rather keep her, but she's going to ahve to go so I can afford the 5th Gen.

multiply by about $16K (for what I think it's worth - haven't looked in a while) and you might have a deal....MIGHT.

I will be selling the Silverado. I hope gas prices are down next year, not a lot of interest in full size trucks nowadays:(
