jasonm Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 KEEP THE SS MAN!!!!!!!! My wife and I just got back from the dealership.... looked at a new Goat. Got in for a test drive... cracked my melon (didn't say anything, didn't wanna look stupid.) Then, my wife got in, to drive it, and she hit her head too. (She's 5'5", and still hit her head.) Then, we swapped again... I did it again. I couldn't believe it. I'm an idiot. Walked away... rubbing my noggin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
air force vm Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Like I said and what most of the other people on here said you might just want to keep your truck. I doubt very much that you are going to get what you want for your truck. Also the caddy and the goat are going to cost you quite a bit aswell. Thats just my thoughts on this.

gunslinger2803 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 i bought the truck less than a year ago for just over 24k, and it has 27000miles w/ a volant cai, bassani exhaust, fiberglass painted bed cover, and remote start. i DONT want to get rid of the truck, but to get it i took out a reg loan of 18k, and took out a student loan for the rest of the truck. well i think i jumped into it too quickly w/o reading all of the fine print on the student loan, cuz its gonna cost alot to pay it back if i pay it back in the time frame that i had planned. so my idea is to try to sell the truck, pay off the student loan, and keep the reg loan for whatever i get. hope this clears up the confusion of my ideas.

montanass Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I would buy the GTO if i were in your situation, the caddy is a nice car and all, but if you can get into a Goat for the same money.... you get more performance for the same money. That's not a hard decision IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger2803 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 i agree, i went a test drove both cars today and the GTO is a better pick all around. i really didnt like the Caddy much at all compared to the GTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black2003SS Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Unfortunately, I don't think you will be able to fetch $24k...you will lose 3-4K more than likely, especially if you have to trade it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they will give you on the trade in will probably balance the original loan, but will probably not satisfy the student loan balance, which leaves with you with a new car loan and the same student loan payments. It is a lose-lose situation in my eyes. Did you try to consolidate the student loan?? Not to mention the SS will have a much higher resale down the road than the other two. Just my $0.02.

Simon Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Sell the SS and the R1 and get a CTS-V that is the best compromise. I don't think it would make enough money though. Tell your parents to give you a compensation for selling the R1 so you can ride safely in the Cadillac.

ssfromsd Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) Screw the 04 goat i will sell you my 69' goat for only 81k more!!! http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w87/ssfromsd/ Edited February 2, 2007 by ssfromsd (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdxtreme Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 you have got to go for the GOAT. I have one along with my SS and i would not trade it for anything right now. if you are a fan of power, the 6 speed is the way to go. you will not be happy with the CTS if you are use to the power of your truck. GOAT all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger2803 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 no way i'm getting rid of the bike!! i never planned on trading the truck in, i would def sell it myself if i end up selling it at all. no idea what i'm gonna do. its snowing here all the time, and the SSS is great in the snow, no way i want to give it up now. but i still like the GTO alot... no clue what i'm gonna end up doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 That's funny, because we don't have any GTO's here in Montréal. Actually I never saw this model anywhere but on the forum here. The dealer don't sell it. It looks very good though. you should get that. One thing we have here is the damn cold and snow and ice and rain then ice then snow then sun with 35 degrees then 10 degrees that's why I love my SS so much it's the perfect vehicule year round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
