"If you could drop all bias and had the opportunity to purchase something other than a 2010 Camaro (2SS/RS), which one of the below would it be:

2009 SRT-8 , Black, 425hp, pre-owned certified, less than 1000 miles ($39,000)

2008 Shelby GT500 Coupe , Blk/white stripes, 500hp, pre-owned certified, less than 1000 miles ($38,800)

2008 Corvette Coupe , 2LT, Atomic Orange, 426hp, pre-owned certified, less than 3500 miles ($41,000)

What one would you go for and why? This is not a trick question, just looking for some honest opinions for a co-worker!"


Thank you all for the feed back, He went with the GT500. They came down to $37K + extended warranty, he is happy!

I'm a HUGE Corvette fan, but I hate that color, I'd go with the SRT8 because it's black, and the black w/ black stripes is really cool. Plus it sounds great.

I would hope so, seeing as a 2008 Corvette would already be two model years old. What would you have to gain by buying a "new" 2008 versus a 'pre-owned" 2008 other than a few miles on the odometer. Both are going to have the same resale value within a thousand dollars or so.

To the OP, i would go along with the others who have asked what you intend to do with the car. I don't think you can make a bad decision with any of the cars you listed.
Interest rate...but you wouldn't know about that would you richie?
