I'm sure I already know the answer to this but...

Should I trade in my focus for an LS1 GTO?

I have a 5 year loan currently, and am a year and a half threw it so I still owe 13 on the car. I figure worst case I take a 1 maybe 2K hit trading it in because 'economical' cars are selling like hot-cakes right now. I would get a used LS1 GTO 6spd with lower miles *I saw a 26K miles 04 IIRC 'purple haze' 6 speed for 17500 at the dealer where mook got his Z* and I'd basically get a new loan, but it'd have to be a 6 year one so I can keep my payments the same (All this is counting on that the insurance doesn't rape me)

And to answer in advance, Yes, I'd be keeping the civic, but no, I wouldn't be putting any more money into it

Sorry your NOT going to get what you think for that car. I'd guess the most a dealer will give you is 9K.

i highly doubt I'm going to take a 4K hit if they want me to buy a car from them. I know I'm going to take a hit if I do it, but my focus isn't the stripper model either and I can sell the remainder of my warranty back to ford for about $800.

Theres not chat box anymore and I'm bored, so I just started making random rhetorical question threads.

u wont make a killing on your focus man

 

[gsteffens]

You want to go into more debt, and get a car that will chug at least twice the gas. Do you need a performer like that?

 

[Dasfinc]

I'm sure I won't, thats why I'm not going to do it, and had no real intention too, like I said, just rhetorical question since I'm bored and I'm on the last half hour streak here at work.

 

[Bru]

No offense, but it's a Focus ... and a Ford ... the resale value has already tanked to the point where you would lose enough money on the trade-in to make it a bad move. I would guess trade-in value wouldn't be more than 9-10 if you have every option and it's flawless.

TRADE IN?!

Sell it yourself at least for godsake.

 

[PANDA]

why not a V6 mustang?

 

[Dasfinc]

that would be almost as stupid as doing something like trading in a Trans am for a Grand Prix.

Why, you were so set on buying one before.

Trade in a grocery getter for a V8 musclecar as we're about to break $4 a gallon for regular?

yea what he said.

especially when you justify your hondas by "they get great mileage"
you buy a shitbomb civic and explain to the world you got it because of its awesome fuel economy and now you want to get a rwd v8?

 

[K0R3AN]

go for it! i would do it if i wasn't looking to a practical year 'round DD! but then again thats me.

My focus gets 30mpg typically on the freeway as well, so really I'd only be sacrificing mileage in town *with my 4 mile commute to work*

Regardless though, Balls, stop taking stabs at my honda, its just becoming obnoxious. Have I ever said a single bad thing about anything you drive? I'm not buying a GTO, its nothing more than a pipe-dream and with the shoutbox gone I was bored.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Wow, just wow, next thread... Should I buy a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with rusted out rear doors and do a Z46a swap into it? (Yes I know that isn't a motor)

 

[Dasfinc]

If s00ls were on he'd be talking about how many VTAKS he should buy for his impala...

 

[Burtonrider10022]

y is the shout box gone !!!!

look at what removing it has produced!!

mass chaos!!
