Possibly sell 1 week old 2LT convertible

[jeremy3721]

Sort of in panic mode as I think I made a really bad mistake when I purchased a 2011 2LT - Silver Ice - Convertible with RS package last week. I traded in a Trans Am that my grand parents bought for me and I think they are a little heartbroken over it so now the guilt is killing me. I'm also feeling a little financial regret. I left a message at the dealership today to see if they are willing to sell the Trans Am back to me but I'm not sure what I could sell the Camaro for. It's absolutely perfect and I've put about 1,000 miles total on it from a quick road trip this past weekend. I purchased an extended warranty but I can cancel that I suppose (had up to 60 days to do so). I'm guessing I'll lose my butt by changing my mind but it's all I've thought about for the past couple of days

I love the car but the anxiety is overwhelming so I'm just not able to enjoy the car which defeats the whole purpose. I'd appreciate any thoughts on how much I might be able to get for the car if I put it up for sale.

sorry to hear that. Can't you talk to your grand parents. if it wasn't for trading in the trans am you couldnt get the camaro. they don't espect you to keep the trans am forever either? just trying to help....bummer man

How about $31,500 (new best offer) contingent on my old car still being available at the dealership? BTW, it's an automatic transmission and I'm located in Florida - I have the Camaro sitting in my garage until I figure out what to do.

If you've had it less than two weeks just take it back, if they still have your old TA you good if not then it doesn't matter anymore and you might as well keep it.

So what ended up happening?

[jeremy3721]

Going to keep it I guess or I risk losing my butt. I've been out of town so haven't driven it much or had the ability to properly put it up for sale. I do like the Camaro so now that things have calmed down I'm hoping I'll be able to enjoy it. The dealership does have my old car but weren't willing to sell it back at a reasonable price.

I'm curious where Jericho is coming up with the two weeks though?

[Jericho]

Figured it might fall under major purchase laws in your state, like the lemon law. Who know's but usually you can't take something like that back unless there's a problem with what you purchased or you didn't have the legal right to the other car in the first place. Ignore me, I should have asked more questions first.

What was the Firebird? What year? Great shape?

[jeremy3721]

It was a 99 with less than 90K miles - very good shape except for a cracked dash, crack in door paneling and a couple of dime size door dings on a rear panel.

i am not sure where you are located but some dealers around here will honor buyers remorse and take back the car at a mildly depreciated value.

Buyer's remorse, it will pass. Just enjoy your Camaro. You would lose up to $5,000 on a trade in believe it or not. Chalk it up to experience. Just my two cents.

Maybe in Canada but I have never heard of it happening here in the States.

buyers remorse.......they have to take it back!!!!! i did it once lol

Don't you have 30 days that you can return the car? I'm pretty sure thats in your paperwork. Read your contract. I dont think they can even sell your TA until that timeframe is over in case you change your mind. Check your contract asap because you may be running out of time.
