GULLABLE0NE Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 so i've been thinking about trading in the Legacy for a new camaro. i've only had my leggy for abou t5 months with only had 4,500 miles on it and it doesn't really have any mods other than a rbs spoiler and tints. i would be opting for the v8 5mt model which should be around 30k as long as the mark up isn't too crazy. i know i will take a hit on the trade in but i feel like its almost worth it. gimme some input guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Id say its gonna be more around 33-34k not 30. And living in NY it gets pretty snowy, the v8 is also a 6 speed. But in the summer and dry weather believe me you will feel like zeus himself. If you want it really really bad, get it and buy a cheaper beater for winter IMO.

franklin Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Trading in a 5 month old car usually is a $$$ butt kick. People either want anew car , or a big money break on a same year used car. I , for one would wonder whats wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpsepatrol Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 where in queens are you planning to have this camaro? I sure hope you have a) a garage b) a beater for winter c) a large amount of anti depressants for when the first jack a$$ slams into you while parallel parking... enjoy teh v8! 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
executor485 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 So when are you getting the new camaro? I thought they werent coming out until 2010? In which case, why not get it right... Your 08 would be 2 years old, which is reasonable time for trading it in... If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 So when are you getting the new camaro? I thought they werent coming out until 2010? Chevy started taking order as of Monday. It's a MY2010, it will be at the dealers' lot spring of 2009. In another word, about 6 months from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm in the same boat Seriously considering selling. Absolutely adore my Shrek. But, I'm a muscle car, tail wagging guy in heart. I'd be devastated selling which I'd have to do to get the Camaro (SS of course) Geez... what to do...

True that! I would never have the time or patience to tear down my car. I know it's not in tradeable condition and I wouldn't give it to a stealership anyway. I'd sell it, as I'd have to, personally first.

IwannaSportSedan Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Damn... Executor beat me to it... I'd much rather have your shrek B. Or at least some of your mods, and your red leather interior. If I were to unfortunately lose my current Legacy, I would probably just get another Legacy GT or Spec B. I like the red interior on the 06 Spec B, but I like the aux-in stereo, folding rear seats, and 6MT from the '07 Spec B... I saw a ruby red Legacy non-turbo at the dealer last sunday, and it isn't bad... and the '09 Spec B comes in that color, now... But I would buy any of those Legacys over a Camaro, I must say. For Camaro money, I would buy a lightly used Spec B, (let someone else take the depreciation hit) and a nice condition SW20 MR2 Turbo for fun. I have a nefarious plan to put a built twin-turbo EG33 SVX engine and a porsche transaxle into an MR2 coupe... What Camaro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Damn... (let someone else take the depreciation hit) Ummm... that would be me.... $32K > likely $20 - $21K I estimate. Only 11K miles and in superb condition. What to do...

executor485 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 lol... Yes, I'm quick like that But yea, I'd love a very similar modded legacy for sure. I'm not too worried about the aux input and all that though as I have a carputer project going in and the JL Cleansweep already. I have contemplated getting the G8 rather than keeping the LGT, but every time I think about it, it doesnt really make sense. The G8 is rear wheel drive, which is a lot of fun, but its not good for when I move to Colorado. The G8 has more mod potential, but I could just mod my LGT really nicely and save myself some money that way... The stereo in my LGT is much nicer (aftermarket setup) and I wouldnt be able to tollerate the stocker/premium in the G8... And there's no way I could go for a Camaro SS with those things in mind and the fact I need the 4 doors for future planning and to keep peace with the lady unit. lol But, if you've got the interest in the camaro, its a great looking car and probably has some pretty good potential, but then you lose the sleeper factor and then every ricer on earth will wanna race ya. lol If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off.

Pig Pen Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 i would never trade my legacy for a new camaro.. but if i was to spend $30,000 on some american muscle id find myself an old chevelle ss that needs some work and build it.. that being said i love the new camaro.. i think it does the 60s muscle generation justice unlike the new gto,charger,mustang.. they say imitation is the highest form of flattery.. but i dont want imitation i want the real thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerMan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 won't be a 5Mt with the V8 it will be a 6MT all I know about f-bodies is that my friends f-body race car with 230 WHP and 3200 lb. race weight (with driver) is faster on a road course than my other friend's built EVO VIII with 360WHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? $30K or so is not unusual today for any new car let alone a modern, IRS, FI, relatively efficient 6MT, pretty good looking and relatively well built car. Whoever said a modern Camaro = an old school Chevelle SS, GTO tri-power, GSx, Superbird, Galaxy, etc, etc.??? Not me. Those cars have their places and I'm a huge fan. I've been through old school and 80's muscle cars and love them. However, I wouldn't use any of those as a DD or ever lump them in the same category as the new Camaro. It's not meant to me a 100% imitation of a 1stGen Camaro. That car is simply an aesthetic inspiration and nothing more. If they wanted the other option, they could have simply re-tooled and spat out a '67 Camaro - done. That wasn't and isn't the goal. ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally dont think you can call yourself and import or domestic guy until you have actually owned an import or domestic actually worth talking about.
