Question what to do?

I have an 06 SS/na and I went to the dealer to see what they will give me for my car, So when the turbo one comes out i know how much money I need. But the guy talked me into looking at a used 05 SC with 13000 mile on it. My car has 17500. They said with a trade in the supercharged will only cost me $9000. Now Im thinking about this what should I do? I could keep my car and do more mods. Trade it in and pay $9000 for an 05 supercharged or wait until the new turbos come out and then see how much they will cost.

is your car paid off? or how much do you owe? you may get the ss/sc for 9,000 but watch out for the thousands of negative equity

that's too much to trade up to an SC.

think about it.

if you ask kbb.com, your car is worth (trade in) around 13k... the SCs are selling (used) around 17 out the door...

the SC is a hard car to sell used, so i am guessing that they paid too much for it. and are trying to pass the loss on to you.

in my opinion shop around! even for a dealer trade in i think you can get at least 11 or 12k for your car, maybe more. there are alot of used ss/sc's for sale, go to cars.com
