So i'm thinking of trading in the GTO due to the issues with drivign it in bad weather and the whole gas price and milage issue.

So what are your theories on the new Dodge Avenget R/T

You sell that GTO you're going to take a huge financial loss.

Really? how, please explain. I was told they would give me like $16,000 for it, but i'm sure i can argue it up.

M21sniper shakes head in disbelief.....How?

They give you wholesale at best for your vehicle, roll the unpaid value of your old vehicle into your new note, and then you pay interest on that too.

Buying new cars is a suckers bet to begin with. Trading in a car you still owe the moon on to boot is doubly stupid. Selling a car you just HAD to have less then 2 years after you got it is an indicator you probably should never have bought it to begin with.

Financing cars on it's very face is stupid for a variety of reasons..eh...

Never mind....

I know Snipe, I thought i would have been able to handle the GTO in the snow but after spinning out twice i got kinda freaked out. I have a job that i have to be able to get to no matter what and i dunno. I don't want to give up the GTO trust me.

I only own a bit ove 6k on it, you are better at this whole car thing, if you are around one day please give me a call, this whole situation confuses me and i'd rather talk to someone that knows what they are talking about then dealing with it all in my head.

The GTO has traction control. It shouldnt even be able to spin out from power issues. I'd take it to the dealers and make sure it's working.

I actually had them check it and it works fine, but when i asked them about the bad weather, they laughed....apartenly the goat wasn't meant for anything besides the sun. They said even with traction control and good tires (which i bought) i wouldn't have much luck.

So i end up with another dilema....
