Would You Trade 2013 LS for 2010 SS?

I'm debating this.. Please help me figure out pros and cons of 2010 SS.

To help I have 2013 LS but have Foose wheels, razzi kit, CAI and MRT V2s. I live my car but want it to have more oomph.

Have been contemplating IPF Supercharger upgrade.

2010 I am looking at has about 30k miles and is $28k.

What would you get for your car?
Is it worth upgrading to a car that most likely has more miles than yours?
Is gas a concern for you?
The warranty is going to be up, whereas your currently covered.
What's the price of getting a sc/turbo installed vs buying this car stock.
How's the condition?

I would love an SS, I couldn't afford it at the time, but if I was to ever trade my car for another Camaro, hot wheels SS or bust. Of course ZL1 wouldn't be a turn down either. But I love that hot wheels

Absolutely... but not for 28k, shoot for 25k or maybe less on one with those miles. Check the market, its way down. Better deals to be had! best of luck.

It's in good condition with a lot more miles. Since 2014 just came out I probably would get screwed on my trade in.

No warranty on the SS.

Supercharger about $6k.

Already have about $4k in my car I would t see. I could put stock rims and tires back in, sell CAI and MRT v2 and go back to stick pretty easily but I just love my car and it would all e for "status" of an SS.

Almost think having "supercharged" emblem would be more bad ass. I don't race or go to track and SS was never an option new (and I wanted brand new as my first ever car I had payments on).

Things to consider, are you trading for vehicle with less/more miles? Are you upside down in your current vehicle. Factory warranty important to you?

I'd shoot for a newer SS, but it all depends on what's available in your area. I traded in my V6 for the SS, and I don't regret it one bit. Best car I've ever had.

Yeah red flag for me is it's a 2010. Original idea was pay this down and then when I hardly owe anything get 6th gen SS.

I only have 8k on my 2013 currently.

Factory warranty is pretty important to me. It's my first new car I've ever bought with only 20 miles on it. Saved up, bought my first house then waited another year before getting this car.

2012's have a better suspension. I think the steering wheel looks different, too.
