For one, what are they valuing your car at? I’d get some offers from different dealers including the likes of Driveway, Vroom, and Carvana.

Second, Not a damn thing wrong with the LT 1LE in daily use. It’s the non-MRC suspension and front brakes off the SS, with forged 9.5x20/8.5x20 wheels and the F1’s. Anyone who drives an SS daily can tell you how it would ride.

I’d actually love one of these for a daily myself, but I have other priorities at the moment.

I agree it's worth looking at, but in the end it only matters what they want for the delta. If they value yours high, they should also be valuing the other high. Similar for valuing low.

I'm trying to understand what the purpose of the trade would be.

Don't want the spoilers, don't want the brakes, feels the extra coolers are just more risk for maint/repair needs.... So, why trade?

You will get a ton of different opinions. Ultimately you have to do what is right for you Pro's on this, same year car, both a M6. Yours has 35k miles, the other has 8k. Your 3yr/36k warranty is almost up. Depending on what month the 1LE was purchased you still have some time left on the warranty. I have no idea what an extended warranty costs now, but I will go high and say $3000

You can no longer get the 1LE package without getting a SS trim Camaro. I do not know what the package cost on a 4 or 6 cylinder model, but on a SS it is a a $7000 option. So with the warranty and 1LE package there is your $10k difference give or take on the actual "Extended warranty and 1LE" prices.

Also take into account does the 1LE your considering have more or less options. Do you like the color better than your current one. Is the $10k in your budget for a estimated $200 a month for 60 months (comes in at $167, just rounded up with interest or unless you want to just pay it up front).

Just things to consider and best of luck your choice either way.

Depends. When I was looking to trade my SS, dealers were at 29k. Vroom puked out 36k.

Understood... I would imagine that you still ultimately weighed the delta between selling to Vroom and buying the other outright (including all taxes instead of tax on the difference).

And the coolers more potential Ieaks. I'llput on my B6 dampers I got last week. Thanks for the help.

Great choice man, you can do some mods to get you closer to 1LE experience too. Lighter wheels and stickier tires would make a difference in handling.

I put 16 lb. Koesi wheels on a 14 Mazda 3. The car drove great. My factory 20" weight about 30lbs. I would like a light wheel if I can find one with the right specs. I would even go smaller dia.

Not seeing an apples to apples comparison in the original post .
(what was the trade in price on yours vs the asking price on the other one)

More car for sure

10 grand seems like an awful lot for the upgrade going used to used .

In the end, all that truly matters is the "plus how much" on top of the trade.

With that said, comparing the trade valuation against the market helps one understand if they're being fair at that level. Comparing the selling price against a no-trade deal helps one understand if they're being fair at that level. Then, ultimately, it helps one understand if the "plus how much" is fair.
