Trading in My Car, Would Like Advice tbh

[Huey Freeman]

Currently I drive a 2010 Mustang (base), and Im wanting to traded it in. The Camaro is not an option for me tbh due to the high dash board. The Camaro is a nice car but i cant get over the dash board. I am currently looking at the Challenger and Charger, mainly the Challenger I guess. A lot of people are trying to push the Charger down my throat. At first I was unwilling to even consider a Charger but now Im a little open to it, I guess.

Thoughts? Suggestions?


Ps - I'm only looking to buy an American muscle car type.

300C baby.

[Huey Freeman]

300C baby.

Tbh, if every fucking nigga in the metroplex didn't own a 300C then I would consider it, but the problem is they do. Nothing against the car, I mean its an alright car.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck how cheap are supercars in ur country, should refinance the house and buy one

[Technique]

Wait 4 months for the Infiniti Q50, and fuck american muscle.

American muscle is my cup of tea tbh. Infinities are nice, but not what I'm looking for.

Drive through the ghetto, everybody and their momma got one but they are all base models. The C with the HEMI is a different car.Anyway, whatever car you get, make sure it got that V8.

Yep, already aware.

I got a Challenger last year. I'm enjoying the power, and roominess, after driving a hyundai for several years. Too many Chargers on the road.

You might want to wait for the 2015 Mustang redesign. The retro look is on the way out.

I'm not in the market for a "modern" American muscle car. I drive crew cab 4X4 pickups. If I was getting a new sports car for fun I'd probably be looking at the new Jag F type. Those things are sweet.

[Drachen]

Yeah, I love audis

[CosmicCowboy]

When the fashion trend shifts again you won't be able to give those muscle car throwbacks away. They will be like the old wife beater 4th generation Camaros.

I really wanted to buy an A5 last year, but ended up getting a Jetta. It just didn't make sense for me to get right now. But I can dream...

[CosmicCowboy]

I was forced to buy a luxury car as a condition of employment after college when I was a VP for a big publicly traded company. Bought an Audi 5000. Took it in for it's 7500 mile service and they told me it was SOP that they had to pull the heads and adjust the valves or the warranty would be voided. I called Audi and they confirmed it. I was freaking furious. Car was running fine. That "warranty service" was 10% of the price of the new car. They have probably changed but after that fucking I swore I would never buy another Audi.

[Blake]

Did they give you a list of luxury cars to choose from

[Sportcamper]

Never been a fan of Audi but I am sure that they have come a long way since the unintentional acceleration, problematic 5000 model…

For sedans I am staying with Japanese cars…Accord’s & Camry’s may be boring but they rarely have any mechanical issues…

[CosmicCowboy]

I was already driving a hard loaded full size jeep Grand Wagoneer and argued that it qualified but they wanted a German 4 door luxury car and I didn't really like the SE Mercedes at the time.

I've got a 2013 Corolla. Hoping to buy a Lexis in 5 years.

Are you going to drive it from Long Beach to Texas?

[Trill Clinton]

i want a muscle car next as well. i have a CTS right now but i really want a challenger srt8.

[benefactor]

:lmao nigga car
:lol calling a sedan with a V8 a muscle car

[Sportcamper]

Corolla has really raised the bar…I would purchase the Corolla over the current Civic...If it were me I would drive what you have for ten years…Other than oil, filters, brakes, your 1st major service is 10 years 100,000 miles….Try that with an American or German car….

[benefactor]

I wish I had an extra 15k laying around. I've got a buddy that's trying to sell his '01 SLP Firehawk. He's a freak about taking care of it so I know it's legit. You could almost eat off the motor and it's only got like 55k miles on it.

Advice?

You have a 3 - 4 year old car; absolute WORST time to trade/sell it. You have absorbed the depreciation; the next owner is going to reap all of the value of that vehicle. It's a good car; keep it - pay it off, then drive it until you have enough money in the bank to pay cash for a 3 year old used car someone else just ate the depreciation on. If you MUST have a new vehicle, at least sell the one you have - don't trade it in. Trading just adds insult (and dealer profit) to injury.

As for a new car? A new base mustang will run neck and neck with a GT from your car's generation, and will smoke yours. Otherwise the new GT is the best bang for your buck out there (The new 'Vette stingray will give it a value run for its money, however).

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

If you've never done any trading in your car it may be best to start out with the standard beginner level things with people you know and trust. Have a friend sit in the passenger seat while you swap baseball cards or some other relatively small collectibles, perhaps Beanie Babies or Pogs. From there you can move up to more complicated things like drugs for sex in your backseat or someone's life for information in your trunk.

So glad to know I'm not the only one reading the thread title this way.

spurs_fan_in_exile always has the most clever replies but Sheesh that was a dark post….:lol

I'm also currently driving a 2013 corolla.....

Kinda pissed I opted for leasing though, tbh. Didn't realize how expensive the insurance will be.

You aint got a hair on your ass if you don't get the Coyote V-8 motor under you and the 6 speed. Only women and pussies drive automatics.

How much is your insurance?

[Huey Freeman]

I got a Challenger last year. I'm enjoying the power, and roominess, after driving a hyundai for several years. Too many Chargers on the road.

Agreed, one of the reasons I'm not to excited about getting one. I'm starting to see a lot of Challengers out there to, but they are the best looking muscle car out there now IMO.

Thanks for the advice tbh.
Actually almost a GT last week.

[GoodOdor]

150 a month.

[resistanze]

150 a month.

God damn, I pay 200, and here that's considered decent for a guy in their mid 20s. I had a friend who was 21 years old paying almost 500/month for his 1999 Civic :lol

[Creepn]

Just design your own car with 3D printing technology.

Why in the hell is y'all's insurance so high? I pay $135 full coverage. Y'all get a lot of tickets or something.

[IronMexican]

150 a month.

I pay 130. Slapped that shit on my dad's name and got full coverage for anyone who drives it. I think it was 400 if I were to do that on my name. Only 22, so it really fucks me.

[IronMexican]

Never got a ticket in my life. My region has the highest rates inn the country, because...reasons.

:lol Dollars you MFer. It's roughly 1:1 with the US Dollar, so I ain't getting a discount here.

Daaaaaaaamn, guess I can't complain:lol

But I was on the family plan before that, which was very cheap.

[GoodOdor]

Not to mention I had 2 accidents on the highway in the span of 3 months:lol

I'm taking the caltrain now.

[Drachen]

holy crap yall pay a lot. I have two vehicles, my wife and I are both insured on each vehicle, 500 dollar deductible, $50.24 a month for liability. It's with liberty mutual too, not some local cut rate crap or something. Even before the accident a few months ago, we had full coverage on one of the vehicles and it cost $124 a month. Their service has been great in dealing with this accident too.

[CubanMustGo]

Shit, I pay about $50 a month for full coverage including a boatload of liability just in case I hit some richer like CC. USAA FTMFW!

[Drachen]

Is that for two people and two vehicles?

[resistanze]

Right now I get $2,000,000 liability, standard accident benefits, collision $500 deductible, comprehensive $300 deductible. Even when I was younger and I had my first car under my pop's plan I paid $130.
