Chicago Checking in

SlickP · 10-24-2011, 02:11 PM

Hello All,

I have been checking this forum out for a while now i just decided to join. I am not a camaro owner yet due to the fact that i am updside down on my current car loan. I have a great job and i can afford a camaro just want to make sure i am not putting my self in a bigger whole than i can manage. There are things in life that are a want and there are things in life that are need and this definatley falls under want category.

Has any one ever trade a car in that they were under on the loan by 7k? i know everyone is entitle to there own opinion just wanted to see what other people think of doing this?

Right now i drive Mitsubishi lancer ES it good on gas but the HP sucks i brought it when i was in college when gas was high at 2.15 i thought while everyone buys trucks i am going to buy compact and save on gas and which i have wit the car. now i am five years outta college and working hard in field everyday as IT Pro i would love to have bad ride outside of work waiting for me to get in everyday. But i don't drive to work everyday cause i take the train. So the most i will drive the camaro is on the weekends and at night. I am thinking V6 due to gas and modification i wanna make and the money i owe on the other car.

SlickP, Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

So i guess no one has no advice for me

If I were you I would list the car for sale privately and just give it time to sell. Unless there's some rush other than the want of a Camaro that'll be your best way to get out of your current ride. I've never traded upside down, another thought is keeping it as a daily driver?
