Did you have to give up anything to buy your C7?
Well, here's the deal. I want a C7. I just bought a 1LE in May of this year. I own the 1LE straight up, which means it's almost a shame to give it up. But, we'll seeeeeee....... If I want to keep the 1LE, instead of trading it for a C7, I'll have to wait at least a year for a C7. Decisions, decisions. I know a few guys were in the same boat. How do you sleep at night?
EDIT: other than the 60k+ lol

just can't get enough

That's a tough decision.... I'd be going crazy too if I had to give up a new 1LE. Even if you have to wait a bit, try to hold out since the 1LE is still a very nice 5th gen. that has power & topnotch handling to back it up big time.
As for the question in topic... it's no for me. I kept my other 2 rides and added the C7. I can't sleep because I'm always daydreaming of Stingrays. |

Lucky dog lol. That's awesome, man. And, believe me the 302 was definitely on the list too a year ago. The thing with the 5thgen, it was, and still is to a degree, one of those iconic cars that comes around every few generations that people would kill to own. Now, I honestly feel the C7 is the same, a legend in its own right. You know what I mean? That's why it's a tough decision, to say the least. I've followed the 5thgen since 2006, so it's not to say that I just got into this car. With that said, however, I think most people would probably want to own a vette over camaro. I definitely won't take this decision lightly. As the saying goes, only time will tell.....

Gave up my 2010 SS. It was a blast while I had it, but worth it to trade.

If you guys don't mind me asking, how much did you get on your trade? I intend to buy a C7 straight up so I figure I'll need about 40k as I believe I won't get more that ~25k on my camaro. You think that's accurate? Shooting for a 2LT Z51 with a couple of options.

I got $20K for mine...2010 2SS/non-RS, 41,000 miles w/1 minor accident on the CarFax. That sucker sold in 3 days off their lot. I'm sure they sold it for $26,000.

I gave up my 2010 Camaro SS IOM for nearly what I bought it for. I will get 38k in three years (I sold it to someone I know). It was pretty hard to let it go, but after receiving the corvette I can honestly say I'm ok with it. I have a 2012 Camry and my wife has a 2013 Venza. Wife and I decided it would be more practical if we only had one toy. . . Maybe after having some kids will I think about getting another Camaro, they both are very awesome cars
