Does anyone else find themselves wanting to trade in their car every couple months? Lol They are coming out with so many cool models and trims the next one is just that much better than the last. Sometimes I wish I could have a newer model with all the updated fancy bells and whistles.. The Hot wheels car, ZL1, 1LE... What's next?

The newer models are indeed nice, but I am perfectly fine with my SS

SnowVert · 02-02-2013, 02:10 PM

I wouldn't say I always want to trade up, but I have a hard time fighting the urge to add to the garage...

Ringo64 · 02-02-2013, 02:12 PM

Wanted my 2SS for years, not getting rid of it but yes I would like to buy more cars

the_fast_one · 02-02-2013, 02:13 PM

I trade all the time. I decide to see if buying new would stop the urge. We will see how that goes as I've only had mine for one week .

For a brief moment of weakness i really wanted the new Corvette Stingray but when i get into my SS i don't care if i get one or not. My SS is awesome!

I have a bad habit of trading after 9-12 months of ownership. I'm right now at 12 months with the Camaro, I've had the urge for the ZL1 3 months ago, but I've fought it off thus far!

I was suppose to go to Ohio today to possibly trade up to a 2SS RS, but same year as mine. Worried that if I do a bunch of upgrades on my 1LT that it will not increase its value as opposed to getting the 2SS which will add actual value. Problem is I don't know how I would get home in 15 dgree weather with the possibility of snow on the road. I really don't want to pass up this deal though because it is a nice low price and low miles, and the same color as mine.

Please be thankful and appreciate the car you have.

At the end of the day there will ALWAYS be something newer.

xkloid · 02-02-2013, 02:31 PM

Yes well amz you HAVE a 2SS RS, and what you say makes sense when your talking about going from 2012 to 2013 with same trim, but I think it is different when going from one trim to a better trim package, especially when your adding leather, HUD, backup camera, V8, HID lights, etc. I love my car though, kinda sentimental already.

5th_GEN_SS · 02-02-2013, 02:40 PM

I am very thankful of mine and appreciate it greatly but as I said some of this new stuff coming out is so cool! When I walk into a dealer I feel like a kid in a candy store lol

Jason P · 02-02-2013, 02:44 PM

I just bolt on more stuff superchager goes on monday and different rear also

GunnyG · 02-02-2013, 02:51 PM

I usually keep a car until I pay it off. My wife...she wants a new one every other year or so. Traded her BMW 750i for a newer 750Li, then traded that 10 months later for a Panamera. It's time for me to trade to a ZL1 in a few months.

steveo9043 · 02-02-2013, 02:51 PM

I've been driving 7 years and I'm on car 10 or 11, don't remember exactly. The longest I've owned a car was 2 years. If I traded in the Camaro it would have to be for a ZL1 or cts-v. Thankfully neither are in my budget!
