The main downfall with both the 5th Gen and 6th Gen V6 is out the box they are pretty maxed out. You can do boltons, intake and exhaust and throttle body but its not going to be a big game changer. I don't know what a cam would do but I know the heads are also pretty maxed out. The only way to make alot more power out of them is Forced Induction. |

This car with the red hot and kalihari I think is quite fabulous! Sounds like the auto would be better for you in Atlanta. the nature of the left knee injury might also be a factor. if the joint continues to give you problems and you get fluid drained or get steroid injections, I would say, yes, avoid the clutch. If you like the price on this car I would jump on it. I don't think you are going to find too many red hots with the Kalahari. Both are less popular color choices. Oh, and I like that it's CPO. |

I'm at a local dealer right now. They have a Convertible 1SS for 27k they are willing to throw leather seats in but I'm not really exactly excited over it as I don't like convertibles. I'm ganna look at it anyway for giggles though just to get a second thought on it but I'm really after the 2SS |

Well, the one in Austin isn't ganna work. They want to give me $4,000 less than KBB for it putting me at $14,500 and I've had way better appraisals than that. However my local dealer on the other hand may be willing to transfer the car here and give me KBB for my car. That may be considerable.

Welp. Main problem I'm running into now is they don't want to give me KBB value for my 1LT and I can't accept anything less than 1k under KBB. ( They're wanting to give 14 and 15k when KBB says it's 18.5k) that will put me way too top heavy even for my 99 Z28 to eat.
Just wondering should I "expect" KBB for my 1LT? Technically I can still get "approved" but my payments will be so high I can't justify trading two cars in for a loan exceeding $600 monthly payments. |

It's a bit of a dilemma as i'm sure you can get kbb or at least close to it from the right dealer but the price of their car maybe be a little higher priced. Also the weather getting better isn't gonna help you out any. Don't do a deal your not happy with and if it's a 2SS your wanting, make sure that's what you get.

So I dunno. HALF of me is considering just paying off my 1LT if Im not going to get KBB for it since I'm already halfway through the loan and just buying a 17 or 18 model SS sometime in 2019 without trading anything in. |

Well, it's done guys.
I sold the 99 Z28 and traded the 1LT and am currently driving a Silver Ice Metalic Blue 2SS fully loaded. Admittedly I came close to shedding a few tears while taking all the stuff out my 99 Z28. The 99 needs major body work because the shop who originally molded my ground effects didn't use Fiberglass, they used Bondo and the stuff is cracking and peeling off horribly and eventually will detach completely from the car. 2 of 3 body shops who were willing to do the job told me flat out to sell it as the amount of work necessary to fix it wouldn't be worth it for the car and its value. The third shop outfront told me they would need at minimum $12,000 The 1LT has intermittent heat issues which I pray I dont have to experience again in the 2SS. It's a 2017 2SS with 344 miles on the odometer (sold as brand new) and got it from a Chevy dealer who came down off the MSRP by 10 grand so I walked out the door with a fully loaded 2SS for 36k. Payments are the same as my 1LT V6 because I put a larger down payment in it as well. I will miss the Z28 but I am happy I no longer will need to continue to invest in it. Every other week it was costing money and whenever I did something to it, it required me to redo or pay for it twice. Now I have peace of mind and a quick car. Probably won't be modding this one anytime soon. I want to move forward with my life now. Pics are coming soon, I've been at the dealer all day and my phone is dead. Oh... The 2SS cheered me up on my way back home in track mode. |

If you plan to keep the car long term, there is absolutely no reason to not get the longest term loan possible. I took 84 months at 2% interest, it would have been silly for me to not as 2% is cheap burrowing.
