O.T. Would you guys trade the stang and get a vette?

[pleasehelp]

There is a dealership here that has a 93 red corvette with 40,xxxx miles with everything option including glass roof(along with regular roof) and leather. The only minor drawback I see is that it is a auto. But the thing looks like it came out of the show room floor. The previous owner obviously took great care of it. They are asking $14,900 for it which it's a little steep. Futhermore, my credit union is offering 3.75% apr on auto loans thru july. What would you guys do? My car is paid for, it's a 1995 mustang GTS 5 speed with 88,500 miles on it. Ok, the thing is I'm only 22 and insurance will rape me. I have not checked with the insurance co. on it though. I was surprised when I got the stang and it wasn't as high as I thought it would.
I could try to get the price of the vette to 14000 even or maybe a little less and trade the stang for $3,000 and put down and extra 1,000 so it would be $10,000 that I would finance for 3.75%. All I've done to my car is a catback so it's not like I put a lot of money into it. I don't know what to do. I know this is stangnet so I will get biased answers. Also, I was thinking the vette won't depreciate too bad. So what do you guys think?

of course they're going to be biased answers because we all love mustangs... still, it doens't seem like a good deal at all unless you're longing for that vette and are tired of your stang or something. For an insurance hike as well as an extra 10k investment... it just doens't seem worth it. Put the 10k into a power adder and super cool paint job or something

Yours is paid off already. Dump that 10 grand in what you already own and make it brand new . Besides those are $$ to just maintain and twice as $$ to mod.

Pass. I was a Chevy mechanic after high school for a year at local dealership during that year. I worked on nothing but Vettes because I was real thin back then and could get my skinny fingers into everything. A C4 isn't all that great plus your looking into an auto. Way over price too boot. Walk on this one.

if it were a c5 zo6 or a c6 w/ a t56 yes other wise no way.

I could be wrong, but doesn't the 93 Vette have an LT1? Your car could beat it with just an H/C/I swap. I know because a freind of mine beat a newer C4 with his Stang. It sounds like a nice car, but for $14K I would just keep the stang. Unless the Vette was a standard, then I might consider it.

 

[pleasehelp]

Yeah it has an LT1. Thanks guys. Looks like I'll keep the stang.

LOOK AT YOUR OWN QUOTE: LOL that tells it, keep the stang man peace

If it were a c5, id probably trade without a doubt...but a c4? heck naww

do you like to wrench yourself? one reason i chose the stang over the SBC stuff (camaro, etc) was that i dont want to spend two days doin plugs. other stuff is just as bad. im with Vibrant Red on that, all the way.

i agree with ya - i would like to have a vette at some point in my life (no flames please - we are all tried and true mustang folks, but i think most of us love all cars fast and fun). but it would be an extra car. i agree with others - keep your car. the numbers tell you to. a vette is a nice weekend car.

but if your car was not an 'S' - i would pay ya 3K for it. i cant find a decent 94- 95 down here.

good luck with whatever you decide.

unless it was a C5 Z06 than no....and then id probably sell that and buy another 94-95 Stang(maybe a 95 R??) lol
