What sacrifice will you have to make for a 2010? - Page 9 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

GM4LIFE · 08-19-2008, 06:54 PM

i plan to trade off my fully loaded 2008 Pontiac G5 GT with 18k miles on it, prob will have around 30k by the time i trade it off. i hope to get at least $16k for it. then, make payments... hope to get a SS if the insurance isnt to outrageous

All I need is a good scholarship to college, and I should be set for a Camaro.

Jamestwilliams · 08-19-2008, 09:09 PM

I would be willing to give up my left testicle, but it looks like I will only have to sacrifice money for it.

Best advise I can give any one is to "spend" your money not WASTE it on things you don't need and end up collecting dust in the garage. With that said I will be sacrificing my wife's shopping $$$, her lexus and her stylist $$$, she'll be an ugly pissed off wife but in the end I'll have the Camaro. SS Black/Black no sroof

Well not as hard of a plan to accomplish. Give my wife my near brand new 06 Avalanche. Smells new/ never smoked,eaten or drank in. Three years old with only 21000 miles. Take my wifes POS Kia and trade it on on a v6 with the RS package. Plan on getting in early 2010. Thats a whole year to start putting in more OT and putting into a side account. IRS Refund (always 5 to 6k), Yes I am one of those chumps that let uncle sam borrow my money all year interest free and reclaim it at tax time. But with a wife and three kids that money would sit very long in the cookie jar now would it. So I am thinking at most I will be looking at a $25K RS MSRP and that equates into my past buying experiences of about $22k (never paid MSRP, ever) minus trade (4k if lucky)and about $10k down and financing anyware from 8 to 9 K for 4 yrs at aroung 215 month at worst case senerio. The only sacrifice will be waiting till 2010 to get it.

I find it interesting that people will sacrifice a lot for their rides.

My car is paid off, but the wife's car still has another 2 yrs to go. I'm not a fan of dual car payments, so I'll wait for the 2012 model year and hope that the Z-28 is out by then. If my car dies an untimely death, then I will be forced to get the Camaro earlier. Must resist the urge to sabotage my own car...

I am continuing to work 50+ hrs a week at nite while in MEDICAL School just so I can afford my Camaro. I've been driving a focus for almost 10 yrs now so dammit I need a nice car for once in my life!

No way your getting 16k out of that especially with 30k mi on it.

CWI · 09-09-2008, 05:05 PM

I am fortunate to have an above average income. I just havent decided whether to trade my girlfriends '07 Eclipse or my '06 Colorado that I added $11,000 to after I bought it. Either way, I will be putting down at least 30-40%. Only sacrifice here will be higher insurance for an SS.

speedbroker · 09-09-2008, 05:44 PM

Will more than likely pay cash and trade in the TSX. Like above I am fortunate to be in a good paying line of work. That will finish up the car price but I am guessing I will get hammered on the insurance..

mfr1950 · 09-09-2008, 06:48 PM

I'll have to trade in my 2006 hhr lt2. It's got every option made for that model so, I should have a good trade.... I'll have to hit my bank account for the balance.. Being an old batchlor I never had to put kids thru school so I've got some cash on hand!!!
