Trading in the Z in the fall

So I am most likely getting rid of the Z in the fall. I am planning on replacing it with a Trailblazer SS.

Whatcha think about that?

I don't think you'll get as much as you want on trade, but the ss is a nice truck

I would turn around and walk out of the dealer if that happened.

ya dude, they will offer you some retarded *** **** for that car, gurantee it. the best deal anyone i ever know getting from a dealer was my dad. he traded in his 96 grand prix 3.1, like mint condition, very clean car, but he blew the head gasket. brought it in about 2 days later and they didnt know how ****** it was.lol. so he got like 4,500 for a car that blue books for like 5,500 but if they knew what the deal was, prolly woulda been more like 1,500.hehe.

Fred if your car was M6 id buy it good luck with TBSS tho. they seem fun.

Ya, if the dealers dont offer me enough for the trade I will try to sell it outright instead. I figure with only 45000 miles on it I should be able to get a decent price.

you will get more selling outright, but it may take some time (noone has any money right now)

Yea good luck, It would be hard selling it now since not a whole lot of people are in the market for muscle cars during the winter.

Yea I was pretty hell bent on selling my 99 too, But I dont know I thought about it and I think I am going to keep it. I dont see myself getting what I want for it and I still have a passion for it, just sucks being away from it. I am thinking of shipping it out here in the spring if I dont pcs somewhere else.
