Default Should I trade my ws6 for a firehawk?

I found a beautiful red 2002 firehawk at a local dealership and I have been thinking about trading by white 2002 ws6 for it. Both cars are automatic but the hawk has the traction control switch and 12000 more miles than my car. What do you guys think? I would buy if I could but I can't seem to find the money in my budget.

Sounds like you answered your own question.

Depends on the options.
If it's a low optioned car with silver wheels & no other SLP options, probably not.
If it's a high optioned car with Bilstein or 1LE, Auburn, chrome wheels, optional spoiler, etc., etc., ..., then maybe.

I voted yes, just cause I own a Firehawk myself .

Anywho, I would rather have a Firehawk then a WS6 anyday, Just considering you see a WS6 everywhere.. I'm sure nobody see's a Firehawk on a daily basis. Everywhere I go, people ask me if my car is a real Firehawk. Some people even ask if they can take a picture of it . Haha.. Anyways, You might just want to stick with yours since the Firehawk has 12K more then your ride..

I don't like the way the Firehawks look. They are definatley more exclusive than the WS-6 though, it will be worth more in the long run. I say do what you want to do. I would keep the WS-6 personally though.

You should definitely trade it. Firehawks will always be worth more and are few and far between. Have you already inquired about the trade with the dealer? I doubt they would trade straight up.

I haven't really talked to them yet. I looked at the car and the red paint is really nice. I have grown a little tired of the white. Besides the only way I would trade would be straight up.

what a waste. Keep your car. White was one of the rarest colors used on F-bodies in 2002. Keep your car.

Trade? I'd say no.

Buy the Firehawk anyway, and keep your WS6? Definetly YES!

keep what you have unless its a high optioned hawk and the dealer doesnt know what they have they may think your car is worth more than the hawk just a thought. i bought my hawk from a dodge dealer used and i came out shinnin'.
