What would you do?
 
Should I trade in my '11 vert for a similarly equipped '13 because I can get 0% financing for 4 years or buy the Missis a new CTS or ATS (up to her). She already drives a 2007 Pontiac Solstice that she loves so the Caddy will be an add on whereas mine would be a swap. What would you do?

P.S. not contemplating upgrading to a: V8, 1LE, Hot Wheels, ZL1 or a '14.

of the choices you gave us.....I would get YOU the new '13, as she has a FUN ride already!

Keep the Mrs. Happy rule one. If there's money left for rule two go for it!

Stick with same Camaro and get your a wife an ATS!!

Never hurts to have 3 cars in case of a breakdown.

It doesn't seem like there's a need. Both vehicles are new enough to avoid disrepair, and she likes her car. There will always be special offers later, so I'd keep both cars and pump the savings account up.

any chance the wife would be traded out down the road? that should affect your decision-making....

Doz El Dude 04-17-2013 02:27 PM

Yeah, I would keep them both for now.

That's my opinion as well... paid off cars are the best kind anyway :biggrin:

Why does she need to have 2 cars? I say keep your current Camaro and buy an ATS/CTS for both of you. A Camaro, Solstice, and ATS/CTS garage would be cool and you'll have a car for any occasion.
It's your choice but I'd get an ATS over a CTS.

I say get the wife whatever she wants and when your car is paid off then treat urself.

Ahh, the voice of reason.

Guess this would be classified as an impulse buy.

Because she's a woman. We already have 5 cars (one is a minivan) so a new car would likely replace either my car or one of the other 3.


Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I'll sleep on it tonight and think it through rationally tomorrow.
