Default Considering trading 07 LT1 for 06 LT3

Like the title says, I'm thinking about trading my 07 LT1 C6 6 speed for a 2006 LT3 A6. My car has 2000 miles on it and the 06 has 3200. I need to get back into a car with an automatic trans, shifting in traffic sucks. Are there any differences in the automatics from 2006-2007? Is this something you guys would do?

Thanks,

Matt

I wouldn't go 08 to 06, but 07 to 06 probably. I guess as long as it's also a cool color...

Have you tried getting someone to trade you an 07 auto for yours? Seems like there would be someone maybe on corvetteforum or something.

I havn't really asked around. But I doubt someone is going to want to trade my LT1 option group for their LT3 option group.

That makes sense, unless there was some $$ involved in the trade. But I'm sure you're looking for a straight-across trade?

If I go through with it I'll be giving the dealor some cash. I have to wait and see what the car looks like when it comes back from the bodyshop. There were a lot of scratches on it. They sent it in to be colorsanded. I'm keeping me fingers crossed. I won't accept anything except less than flawless.
