Well u can't go wrong with a TC but if how much are they offering for ur car?
If they offer u 6 , that would leave u 1k towards the tc so u will end up paying 14k plus taxes n title etc.. it all depends on wheather u want to keep on paying or not... The price on the tc seems good to me.. just make sure the tc runs good, idk what to check in them since I am sc too

I paid 13k for my SC with 42k miles, but it came to 14,800 with tax, title, gap insurance etc, and my payment is only $225/mo. I have really good credit(760) and financed it out to 72 mos with a good rate(3.25% i think), and just pay ahead on it to save interest. It helps I work at a Dealership though

i traded my 06 LSJ in with 93k miles for my 08 SS/TC with 53k miles. my payments are 309 a month. I love my car, the LSJ was a great car but i hated yellow and wanted red. plus the TC is just easier to mod in my opinion.

I paid 17.9 for my TC with 4k miles. $242/month for 60. I put 5k down though. I didn't want to carry a big payment. Since I bought the car though I've had two promotions so I've been paying double or more sometimes. I should be paid off by August. I can't wait!!! Ill prolly have about 45k miles.

I wouldn't trade personally. It's an upgrade but if your gonna upgrade and take on payments for longer make it one you will be happy with 5 years down the road. Cause in reality you are still basically owning the same car even if one is a slight upgrade.
