Default Might be departing with the Impala

As it says in the title, i might be getting rid of the impala. Im seeing alot of people getting rid of their LS4's. Being as though i just had the tranny rebuilt and i have no warranty i might as well trade it in and get a car that is still under warranty. The transmission is just what did it. I love the car and smile everytime i start it up, but its just too much of an headache. I was looking at a few cars. Ford Mustang GT, Dodge Charger RT, and a Pontiac G8 GT. I dont want to go over 24k so i guess these are my options.

Why not get a used STS-V....they can be had for around 25K

Parts for the V's are expensive to replace (just think, its a Cadillac)....and in some cases to mod as well.... I love the car, but I was talked out of it when I saw how much simple maintenance is on them....Coop, if i were you, I would go with the G8 or wait for a SRT8 to pop up for the right price.....

^^^ I'm with you on this one. I was finding a lot of SRT-8 cars in my price range, but the only drawback was miles on the affordable ones. G8GT's can be had in the lower 20's, with 100k warranty.
