possibly getting rid of the ss

Hi guys, iam thinking of selling my 06 impala ss. I love the car to death but i read the transmission thread the other day and it scared the **** out of me. My car has 88000 miles and she still runs like a champ, i would hate to have to pay for a new tranny though. I put it for 13000 on craigslist yesterday and already have 2 interested buyers, if i do sell it i would like your guys input on a good replacement.

It looks like im going to sell my impala ss and get an 04 gto. I have read many conzumer reviews and it seems to be pretty reliable and offer better performance than our vehicles

Good choice! More horsepower and a much nicer car.

If someone will give you anything close to $13k for a 2006 with 88k miles, TAKE IT.

We paid that much for our 2006 three years ago with 30k miles, and if you look Craigslist/eBay, you'll see that most sell in the $9000-$10,000 range with those miles.
