Cool what to trade for 02 camaro are 02 vette

well i got a 2002 camaro z28 a4 and it just hit 90k miles so i took it in to get an estimate for the 90k mile service and to see what they do well turns out my cars rear end is going out witch i can feel it jerk alot sometimes. my car was in an accident before i bought it it was never reported so the car needs some work done. so in other words im gonna trade her in for either another z28 a cleaner one that needs less work done are a 02 vette are do u guys think i should just keep the car? i owe 11 so if i trade it in with kbb ill get around what i owe maybe a little less plus i got a stero and wheels and exaust. so what do u guys think.

I think you should use this as an excuse to put a Moser 12 bolt with some 3.73s or 4.10s in it.

Personally I would go with the vette, but what kinda work does it need? I never really heard of a 90k tune up that would really be all that expensive. Honestly I think its stupid to trade for the same car if your goin to loose on the trade. Might as well just do the maintence and upgrade the parts for better parts and make it a better car

Have you actually looked up trade in on that car??? I just did on KBB.com and your only looking at about $5500 or so. Car dealers don't add a nickle for extra things like wheels and stereo equipment. I some cases even they will take off for wheels and the car looks like crap. No way your gonna get even close to what you owe on it. Looks like your fixing it.

You owe $11k????

What did you look at on KBB that you think you'll get close to that? A 02 Z28 with 90k in fair condition, KBB says $4550.

It wasn't a $3000 warranty, don't forget he had to pay tax and license too.

OP, I would keep your car and fix the rear end. The dealer will probably offer you between fair and good which would put you in the hole....

You will almost never break even or ahead if you buy a car from a dealer and try to sell it 6 mons to a year later...

just fix your car....
