A ZL1 1LE is a bad idea for a commuter car.

Thanks.

I drove a ZL1 this week. I really liked it. But you’re right. Totally stupid for commuting.

But......

Clyde is a jerk.

I can turn my car in now and get more than the cost, now that I got sucked into the Carvana site.

So I want a ZL1.

Are you waiting on a new build at this point?

I am holding tight for now while I refinance the house.

I think I decided that I can’t bring myself to pay what the new cars are going for right now when they were so much cheaper pre-COVID and almost certainly will be again before I *need* to have one. I’m not paying a $5-$10k premium to have it NOW.

Yesterday, I also started thinking about the whether the Mustang conquest rebate may come back by he time I buy. Kind of considering buying a cheap Mustang beater To use as a COVID daily until I buy the Camaro and use it as a trade. If the rebate is there, it’ll be money in my pocket. If I don’t spend much to begin with, I don’t risk much.

Saw this $2500 example on FB marketplace:

Not even sure what engine has. Wouldn’t really care either.

Seller profile is fantastic. The V6 engine in those cars was awful.

JST 08-16-2020 12:42 AM

And it is a V6; the GT had GT emblems where the horse is on the fender and a fake hood scoop.

Get this instead.

That would cost twice as much and probably be worth less at trade in.

You understand the point of this is to buy the cheapest possible hub that is likely to survive long enough in a minimal use daily driver role to make it trade in on the real car, right?

It’s not find the most interesting thing I can for under $5k
