I'd love to have a Chevy SS, but they haven't creeped down in price enough. And I need a vehicle now. :(

I was going to buy an SS once upon a time, I just couldn't justify the cost... then I started looking at G8 GXP's, almost pulled the trigger on one for about the same cost as that cheapest SS you found... So I guess that tells you the GXP and maybe the SS also, will hold its value decently in theory.
I finally settled on an 08 G8 GT... It wasn't a manual transmission like the GXP or SS i wanted, but the cost was justifiable. I paid 16,650 private party for my first G8 GT about 3 years ago with 72k miles on it. I sold it a month ago for 14k with just under 100k miles on it. Paid the loan off on the car, and had about 8k left in my pocket. I just picked up another 08 G8 GT last week for $6500 w/ 132k on it, but only 30k on a brand new engine. drives like a dream, its a total cream puff too
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is if you like the SS, consider a G8 GT, you can get one of the lower mileage ones for your price range, buddy of mine just paid 18k for a 09 with 60k miles on it. With the money you'll save on the G8 GT vs the GXP or SS, you can spend some cash on mods and make it just as fast, or faster if you're into that kind of thing. That's how I was able to justify it lol
