Default Should I trade my '02 Formula for a '02 SS

I have a bone stock white A4 2002 Formula with cloth with 101k on it. I bought it in Aug '07 with 89k miles on it, I drive alot, I know, lol. Anyway, I found a '02 A4 BLK on BLK leather, fully loaded 35th anniversary edition Camaro SS with the SLP center exhaust(i like this), one owner with 70k on it. Its CARFAX Certified just like mine. Its really tempting. I really wanted a 6-spd but with my girlfriend, autos are fun if you know what I mean so I dont mind getting another auto, lol, plu im lazy and a manual sucks in traffic. I owe 8k on my Formula and the price of the SS is right under 12k.

NADA trade in is 11,875

KBB trade in is 7,900- 8,600

Should I trade?

No. Not worth it IMO for the same car with just a different exterior.

98+ Trans am>Formula>Firebird>Camaro

I wouldnt do it. The Firebird is MUCH more agressive looking. The camaro is just to plane for me.

It's not the red ones like you are picturing. It's just an '02 SS but I would do it. SS's look way better than Formulas and this one has a more options. Plus CME =

As a personal preference I just don't like Formulas at all so I'd do it, but it'd kinda be dumb to lose that much money on the same car basically.

I think the WS6's look alot more aggresive but my Formula looks like a V6. The whole sleeper affect has worn out since most people know who I am because i'm the only trans am/formula with HIDs in my area that comes out all the time, kinda hard to miss, lol.

Yeah, this SS has more options then my Formula and also 30k less miles.

if you are going to have to owe alot on the new car then dont do it. but if its only a lil and you think that you would be happier with it then go ahead and do it.

oh ok i thought it was the 35th SPECIAL EDITION N/M i wouldn't trade my C5 if it WASN'T one of those actually, i LOVE my C5 but some days i wish i still had an F-Body(SS baby) Maybe i'll have both, my C5 AND a black or white SS I get REALLY sick of all the, your dad bought it or you must be compensating, CRAP i get with the C5. i almost NEVER got that with my Camaro~Cole~
P.S. I'd definatly go for it if it was my decision

thats a hard decisio man. center exhaust is sexy as hell and 30k less miles is really nice too. i went from a formula to a TA to a camaro and even tho its not a ss i happy with my choice. The TA was a little more comfy on the inside but I ike the smooth sleek look of the camaro also. All in all, if its worth the extra $ id say go for it man.

OK, well I wont be trading my Formula for the SS because it was sold to a local buyer. That is what sucks about finding cars on the internet. O well, I guess its time to put my true duels on the Formula and wake up the nighborhood, lol.

Definately do that. I have Duals on my Formula. I love when people think its a V6 Firebird just before you start it up and you give them a bit of a jolt.
