Default Need Help!!!! (2014 SS 1LE)

I need help deciding whether I should shoot on a 14 1le. Here's the deal, I have a pbm 06 m6 GTO with the works. It has 500hp and I love that car to death. I had it about 2 years now. I have a 99 black trans am a4 323 which is nearly stock with an oem ws6 hood. This was my first ls car, I had it about 4 years and I love this car to death.

My question to you all. Would you get rid of one or the other in order to get the 14 1le? Because right now I won't be able to keep both and get the camaro. Or would you just say forget it and keep the current cars? I love both cars but I saw a 1le two days ago at a dealer and I was impressed. Let me know what you would do in my shoes, this includes your opinions on the 14 1le.

Will you have a car payment? Which car/cars do you really want? Do your current cars have any issues that need fixed?

Unless you have money to spend for an expensive new car I would keep the cars that 'you love to death'. No need to part with cars you still truly enjoy.
Technically I am in the same situation as you. I can buy any new car, within reason, but choose to keep the rides I currently own. I really enjoy them. No desire to spend the $$ for a new one. Of course it is up to you.

Yea I would have a monthly payment. Can't really decide to your second question. GTO and TA are problem free aside from the ta needing a front drivers side signal bulb and a gear for the headlight

Good point, if I could afford to get the camaro and keep the pontiacs it wouldn't be an issue

IIWY...perhaps that 99 would have to go....and I know you love it but that
1LE is quite a vehicle....I saw a Red Rock version at a local dealership here
and I gotta say If I didn't have a Vette payment that thing would be in my
garage!!

Keep the old ones. IMO you would hate yourself for getting rid of your first love (the T/A), and the Goat is a great all rounder. Looks clean, rides and handles well, and may actually recover it's value at some point. But what do I know, I'm a Ford guy haha.

I'm a tried and true 4th gen fanatic and I'm sure that T/A is great but you just can't compare it to a new car. If it were me I would probably let it go for a brand new 1LE, I would probably feel different if this were a base 1SS or 2SS but the 1LE I really like.

True dat, I love my T/A but i'm pretty sure I would love a 1LE even more down the road. I'm leaning towards getting rid of the T/A also since it's basically stock and my goat makes way more power than any new model camaro under a zl1, and it would be a while before I could actually start modding the 1le if I got it. It would be pretty cool to have a ls1, 2, and 3 at the same time tho lol.
