Should I trade or not? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Muscle Car Memories · 04-23-2015, 08:13 PM

Ok so I am buying a new home and my debt to income ratio is causing me a problem and its my 1LE payments that is the issue.

So I called the dealer I buy my Camaro's from and they can trade me out on a new 2015 Camaro 1SS, manual w/Hurst, NPP exhaust and save me $200 a month w/no money down. I have a choice of colors Red Hot, Summit White, Silver or Black.

My 1LE is a 2015 2SS/RS and is loaded so I will be loosing out on the 1LE package, RS Package and 2SS.

I really dont have any other option except to put more money down on the house which I dont wanna do and I dont wanna give up the house either so on the upside of all this I will still be in a 2015 Camaro SS it just wont have all the bells and whistles.

What do you guys think?

Make the trade. In 10 months you will have an extra $2,000 to put in the 1SS. You purchase the 1LE suspension for less and still be saving $200/MO for the rest of your loan.

You will regret it. Traded a 11 2ss/rs for a truck. 3 years ago. I traded in my hog for a new 14 LS. It's a nice car but I miss a the goodies that the SS had let alone the power difference. I had to have the truck. I have arthritis real bad in my hands so that's why I got rid of my bike. Wanted to have a little note but I regret getting a LS.

I know what you mean but at least not all is lost, I would be in a 1SS, like you said it could be worse but I still havent made up my mind.

But at least the 1SS would still be a V8....I didnt buy the 1LE for a track car, I just like the looks of it.

Do what I did brother... Buy the SS 2014 package and fix it up yourself. I understand it has that package on it but you can fix up the car the way you want it and it will look different from other people camaros. I always get ask if mine is a 1LE. Ill show you a few pics of what I did to mine. I'm not even close to being done with it either. I'm not at the track so no point of getting the 1le
