To trade or not to trade? What should I do?? Help
 
Ok here is the deal, I have a 2002 ws6, 6 speed with ls6 clutch, torquer v2 cam, longtube, offroad y, custom spintech exhaust, lid, tune and other little things. It has 72000 miles, super clean no dents scratches, no cracks or rips it NMB, some guy with a 2000 corvette automatic 100k miles, borla exhaust and intanke wants to trade me plus he is giving me 3500 buck plus car, what would you guys do? Trade or not?

Is it a z06? If not I wouldn't even consider it, you have an 02 ws6 man. lol

willy9 08-07-2012 09:34 PM

Its not a Z06

willy9 08-07-2012 09:36 PM

He just said that he will do 4grand plus car for mine, my way of looking at it is that I can sell the vette for around 14-16 grand plus the other 4 and buy a c5 Z06, or another ws6 and turbo the heck out of it

Need a lot more info on the Corvette. How can anyone here even make a wild guess? How's the condition? Do you even know if the title is clear? How does the Carfax look? Are the 100,000 miles easy highway driven miles or hard 'beaten to death' miles? Any maintenance records? What does the Corvette need right now? Tires, brakes, fluid changes, etc.. You have described your WS6 as really sweet so what are you actually getting in return? Help us out for a somewhat accurate appraisal of your situation. Otherwise it is just crazy guesstimating that has no validity. You are talking serious $$ so you want valued opinions.

The vette is nassau blue with C6 Z06 rims, he is a middle aged dude so I dot think is beat up, is look in a good condition, clean title

willy9 08-08-2012 09:09 AM

Also how slower would it be? In 1/4 and 1/8, Im pretty sure my TA can drop low 12s at least and 7s in the 1/8

clonedws6 08-08-2012 10:09 AM

C5 will prob do low 13s

willy9 08-08-2012 12:06 PM

But iys auto, with probably 273 gears

willy9 08-08-2012 12:08 PM

Also what would it take to put the vette in the same level as my ws6?

Dollar for dollar a c5 costs a lot more to mod than a f-body.

willy9 08-08-2012 12:25 PM

Yeah but Im getting 4gs with the trade

LSCha0s 08-08-2012 12:42 PM

I would trade it.

This! Idk if youll get quite 14-16 but at the least you could move it quick for 12k and hes giving you 4k cash on top. Thats a good price for your ws6. If you arent attached I would take that deal. Buy another fbody with high miles but clean for 4-8k and build a real stout turbo car.

Huron has a killer deal on their single turbo kit complete right now for like 2700ish IIRC and they are throwing in a racetronix fuel pump kit plug and play. All youll need is the truck manifolds, delete AC, injectors, tune and you are good to go!

willy9 08-08-2012 01:34 PM

Id only had this ws6 for a month and is my second ws6

Nathan C 08-08-2012 02:24 PM

I wonder how much your insurance would go up with a Vette?

Thanks Willy9. Something seems amiss here though, don't you think? Why does this 'middle aged dude' want to trade his Corvette for your WS6? Plus give you $4,000? :confused: You sure about the title? His Corvette is worth about $12,000 in 'private party' fair condition. Your WS6 about $1,000 more. I'll leave it up to you at this point. This doesn't make sense on my end. There is a problem with the Corvette. Be careful!

Sladester2 08-08-2012 05:26 PM

id trade

Well the opinions will be biased since you asked this in the Firebird Forum.
