Well, theres a dealership around here where I live thats selling an 02 GT vert with 40K miles on it for $11,000. I talked to the guy and said that payments would be $160, but it would be over 5 years. The really sad part is that he only offered me $3000 for a trade in for my car. The car has been sitting on the lot for like 4 months now, and i could get it in like 2 days if i really wanted to, but i still have to pay for school(loans). The car looks nice, nothing wrong with it that i could see. What do you guys think, is it worth it, or should i continue building up the 6er?

 

Dealerships usually don't offer jack on trade ins, however, with the lower trade in value, and a little a hole type of attitude, you can talk this guy down easily to around 9500 if it's been sitting a while. All you have to say is "listen I know this car isn't moving, and I'll take it off your hands right now, however only if the price is $9500 - the $3000 you're willing to give me, if not, I'm taking my business elsewhere. Generally speaking, act like an A hole and speak to his supervisor, and they'll make it happen, serriously, they don't make money if they don't make sales, a $9500 sale is better than a $0 anyday.

Yes, worth it in my opionion.

 

Well, im gonna go talk to the guy again(hes the sales manager), and tell him that i cant afford it unless he either gives me a better trade in, or he lowers the price of the car. But yeah, i was gonna try my hardest to make the price go down a little. But thanks for the advice.

 

I honestly think a vert is always a step down, more weight, more flex, louder inside, and slower.

I'd get my gf a vert though.

That's just my personal opinion. I also don't think a vert would be all that much fun up north, considering you people live in snow for some rediculous reason.

 

You already have a good car in the 01 sixer. It's not worth it to take out a 11 thousand dollar loan just so you can say you have a GT and 60 more hp.

 

^what he said.

spend half that and make it faster.

 

Buy a vortech
or an m112
or a procharger
smoke GT
/end

 

Why would you want a vert in the north? I mean if you lived in the south Id tell you to pick that sucker up but christ I hated my vert in winter time and we never got snow.

Also, GT's have a larger aftermarket so you could have a good time just doing boltons.
Because supercharging a sixxer just to beat a GT is a little excessive if you think about it.

Just my .02 though

 

Nothing excessive about spending 11 grand though right..

 

Its worth it in my opinion if you can talk your trade up/ or the price down a little, but its still a good price even where it is at imo. I just traded my 00 V6 with 72k miles in a month ago and got more for my car than you were offered, but my GT was listed at $12,900 too so it was pretty similar to you price wise. If you want a GT I would do it, cause I am a lot more happier with mine now over my old V6.
