Note: This is a Camaro trade in story. I'm not looking to stir up anything so keep it civil.
My Camaro was my first car purchase and a gateway into the world of sports cars. I love the 6th generation as much as the rest of you however after a few months of ownership and getting more into cars I discovered the new (well not so much now) Corvette and knew immediately that it would be my next vehicle after the Camaro.
I really do love what Chevy has done with its performance cars in the last 5 years, I would have never considered a 5th gen Camaro or a 6th gen Corvette. The Camaro and Corvette look amazing, have nice interiors and blow the competition away in performance for a great price, can't go wrong with either!
After awhile I realized I most likely would not wait the realistic 7-8 years to get the most out of the Camaro before going into a Corvette. I have other goals in the next 4 years and trading to a Corvette at the same time would be a bit much. I realized I could trade up within a year now and still maintain all my goals over the next 4 years. If the numbers work why not?
So on Wednesday I went down to the dealership and placed an order for a 2018 Corvette with an estimated Spring arrival. I plan to enjoy the Camaro until the new year and then try to sell it before the arrival date. If I can't sell it then I'll just trade it in.
I've enjoyed meeting some of you guys at events and I'm sure I will still be dropping by the forums to see whats new in the Camaro world after delivery.
I will still wave if I ever cross paths with a Camaro and I hope you guys will too
