why not wait a few weeks on the genisis and fix the trans and sell a running decent camaro... sounds like you may have potential to be in some hot water if the camaro doesnt sell and your sitting on car payments... i wouldnt do the vette... you would probably have a harder time selling that vette than the camaro... not alot of desire out there for c4 vettes... i like them but not many do...hanlon is the man.. hell have that trans back to you within the week if he has the parts which he seemed to have a nice stock... really easy to deal with too.... i vote fix it and sell it for slightly more $$ with a freshly rebuilt trans and low mile motor...

Don't buy the lt1!

emolineaux 01-31-2010 05:01 PM

well the lt1 is out of the picture no worries. i tried to get some money on top so i could turn around and put the vette out for sale but he dont have money to put on top of trade. im gonna swap the stock wheels and tires onto the cavi tonight and when i go to the dealer tomorrow ill throw that in for a trade in along with the 3k down payment to hopefully get 500 for. but if not that will just be one less car i have to deal with in my driveway.

Why not?

No LS1 = no holierthanyou attitude and if nothing else, no desire to do burnouts on a hurt trans.

not against the lt1 or nuthuggin on the ls1. just the c5 & up are just alot nicer car, and are a better fitment for ya.
c4 and earlier aren't near as comfortable for a bigger guy like you or me,
nor do they handle as well,
the driver to controls operation are much nicer on the c5 &up

i would only buy a c4 if I could get it cheap.... THEN I WOULD FLIP IT TO MAKE SOME $.

overall, eric, I believe that you will be unhappy with it.

This, word for word. I was just too lazy to type it out :lol: C5 or newer or don't get one at all.

emolineaux 01-31-2010 05:03 PM

plus im not gonna be hurting if i dont sell the camaro. it would just be nice to see an extra 7k in my bank account.

NastyEllEssWon 01-31-2010 05:07 PM

well if youre not hurting then get the genesis, sell the cavalier....use the money from the cavi to fix the camaro to sell the camaro for maximum value that you can.

BurninrubberGT 01-31-2010 05:24 PM

You getting the coupe or sedan?

Can't really go wrong with that. I know you don't want to deal with car but why not just fix it and maximize your $$?

this is prob the only new car out that i would buy too. If you can afford it go for it! then you can worry about the other stuff as you have time/money. In my opinion though a brand new car is never worth it. But it is definitely nice. But you can get the same car for half price or less in a year or a few years with 15k on it. Unless your trying to order something specific

91chevywt 01-31-2010 08:37 PM

I agree you should fix the car as well. Its hard to sell a broken car. I know I wouldn't want to shell out 7k for a 12 year old car I can't test drive. Demodding would be a way to maximize profit as well. Since you have the capability to let it sit financially, that would be the way to go.

I drove 2-3 hours in one, my buddy drove them all the time as a lot attendant. I'm not an import guy but the car is awsome from the interior to the performance to the styling, can't go wrong with this car. I've heard the car screams for a bigger exhaust and tune though. Can't beat the price either

emolineaux 02-01-2010 05:55 AM

only thing i wouldnt like about buying one used later is that you never know how ppl treat there cars. i want brand new so i can say im the first owner and i know every thing from how it was taken care of to any small upgrades it may have. id rather spend the extra 5k and get it brand new right off the lot.

like uve sed countless times, u get bored easily.... so now ull have car payments and be bored of it in a year? u sed u wont mod it too right?

sweetbmxrider 02-01-2010 02:53 PM

no, just small upgrades :lol:

HeadlessNorseman 02-02-2010 10:48 PM

definitely modable... lol. when that car first came out there was a youtube video of one putting down like 380 whp or something already. Huge turbo/huge exhaust/dyno tuning + whatever else you couldnt see
