I recently traded in my 07 ss/sc for an 08.5 vw gti and ive been contemplating trading it on a used 06-07 ss/sc. the only thing thats stopping me is that i owe 32k on the gti from rollover on the cobalt. if i can find a cobalt for 15k and rollover 10k bc there giving me 21k i would owe 25k and possibly lower my payments depending on interest rates and if i can get a loan for that much on a used car. would u guys do this?

 

damn man thats a lot of money ur behind i think u should keep what u have and get ahead of the game

 

idk i will be oweing less money to the bank about 6k less and hopefully that will lower my payments a couple bucks.

 

Didn't you say you own 32K on the GTI? You will have negative from the Cobalt and GTI.

 

yeah i will but still only owe say 26k instead of 32k ya know?

 

Why did you get rid of the SS/SC to begin with?

 

Yeah, but a "8.5" will have a lower APR than an 06-07.

 

true so maybe it will even out and i will be happy again..

idk y i got rid of it in the first place.

 

if it works out in favor of the ss then do it, if not then, the obvious.

 

NOOOO keep the GTI you dont want a cobalt ss i traded my VW GTI in on one i wish i never did it! the vw can be so much faster and better built i want my vw back i took the ss back after 2 day and said i dont want it anymore it felt cheap and not a soild car. to shorten the story i miss my vw and still have the ss =*(

if you didnt owe anything on the gti i would trade you title for title my ss is payed off

 

lets trade then man!

 

Get ahead of the game before trading again. You will end up with negative equity, even if you get a cheaper car.

You basically end up throwing away ~10k or so, because you had a 07 SS/SC, traded it for a new 08 GTi (so you had negative equity from the balt), then you end up trading the 08 GTi for a 06 SS/SC.

 

yeah true but i already owe 32k so y not lower it a couple thousand $

i found an 06 arrival blue and a silver 07. love the arrival blue and g85 package, only 21k miles on both

 

Unless you have a decent down payment the banks are going to raise an eye at giving out 26K for a used 15K dollar car, especially right now with the way the economy is going. Look at it this way , next year the cobalt will be worth 10-11K and the VW 19-20K , VW's hold their value much better so while saving a few grand in total debt might leave you in a worse position with the value differences between the two cars in the future.

 

bump. going this week to look at some ss/sc's i found a silver ss/sc with holden emblems somewhere in philly with aftermarket wheels and stuff. she was a member on here but i forgot her name and theres a black ss/sc in bloomsburg with g85 im looking to get.

 

Man if you didn't owe soo much I would trade with you.

 

yeah man i wish we could trade, although my interest rate is only 1% so theres some food for thought

 

ohh ok, i would get a new ss/tc but i kinda like the ss/sc plus its way cheaper

 

morning bump.

 

i would get ahead on your payments first.. our cars dont hold vaule very long. plus youd be paying way to much for the cobalt. if you could sell it (GTI) private and get more for it then maybe just think about it tho.. dont trap yourself bc of a car.

 

get the silver one with holden emblems i remember the one your talkin about it looked sharp

 

eh the emblems were taken off and theres no front grill. im contemplating a black ss with recaros (5kmiles) or an early 06 arrival blue with recaros (21k miles)

 

i loce GTI's but i love cobalts even more!

 

sell your gti and get an aveo and get back ontop!!!

 

Stay away from that silver SS/SC! I think I looked at it and was NOT impressed. The interior was far too ugly as well.

There's a silver SS/SC (different one) in hatboro, pa at jarrett dodge.
