Which car? - Page 2

CTS-V ? a bit cheaper than the M3 and very comfy

LS1owner · 07-24-2010, 04:33 PM

IS-F is a great car...but it's 63 sticker, I don't see much incentive there either. How can you get that for 49k new? Doesnt seem possible.

M3 would be ideal...but they won't come down enough to make it reasonable payment wise. I could lease it easily, but I want to buy.

Camaro SS is the cheapest of the group and with trade in it would be the easiest but I like 4 doors...

The SRT8 is the outgoing model Jeep, thats the issue. However the incentives are great. I'm going to email for prices today and see what they say. If they hit 44k plus 0% for 60 I'd probably go that route IF they can get me one of the last 10-15 out there.

Mercedes forget it...not a fan never will be. Not a caddilac guy either.

ISF's are going for 50,000 here; I'll give you names to 2 dealers that will do that...

LS1owner · 07-25-2010, 02:16 PM

Saw a couple M3 sedans today. Price is so high though, the SRT8 is mid 40s and the SS is 30s....hard to look at a 65k sedan.

LS1owner · 07-25-2010, 11:52 PM

Apparently the SRTs are hard to get from other dealers, wonder how this will all work out. Maybe I should just get a Camaro SS. Or a vette...but man that 2 seat thing sucks!

Is one of your requirements that the vehicle be brand new???

Which state are you in?
If you give a couple of the dealers here I'm sure they'll be more than happy to ship it for under 1500 across the US..(ISF)

Well i had a 08 Jeep SRT8, nice truck but no rear leg room and the fact its all wheel drive is the best....

I drove in my buddy M3 and i would say its ALOT of fun to drive...

Now the camaro is the best bang for your bucks and you get to save money for mods.....

jeep..you already have 1 Camaro

LS1owner · 07-29-2010, 11:14 AM

Trading the Camaro...Made mistake of going to Chevy dealer and they had a ton of Vettes on the lot...prices are great, 0% interest...now I'm back on the Corvette thing. This decision sucks, can't I buy all 3???

Did research on SRT, and apparently according to the other forums you really can't even get an SRT8 unless you want to drive out to where the last 10 or so of them even exist...the 2012 is rumored to be 500hp though...so maybe i can get a vette for now then trade for the SRT when I get tired of slipping and sliding in the winter.

Been waiting to see what your decision was... but did not see this (the 'Vette) coming. What variant did you get?... the base models are a good performance buy even at MSRP.

As for driving it during Winter weather... better start looking for a beater to use instead. A car as light as a 'Vette and power to spare... as a full season car?

didnt buy yet...but this SRT8 thing isn't gonna happen new. If I have them work a deal for something like a dealer demo, who knosw where its coming from, who has driven it, etc..its just a little too risky for 50k....I can have a vette swapped to local dealer tomorrow afternoon...the SRT8 would have to come from 5-10 states over and who knows how long its been there etc. Too bad because I think the SRT8 Jeep makes the most sense.

How is your SRT8 Chally?
