C5-JIM

After seeing the C7 I am thinking that I should have waited until the unveil. I bought a GS in Dec. and I am wondering how much of a bath I would take on a trade-in ?

With no scientific evidence other than the seat of my pants, I would guess around $7,500.

I could probably give you $25k for it.

I would guess about 10K less than what you paid for it. If your really serious you should try to sell it outright right now.

Tony is smoking weed. My guess is you will take a $20k hit off msrp or ballpark 42k sell on price.

I love deer hunting and I would probably use it for a deer blind before selling it for that price. $3,000 for a gun $50,000 for a 4-wheel drive truck, why not splurge on a GS for a blind. I may have a problem finding a tree to hold it. My kids probably would get pissed but its my money. There is NO instructions on money on how to spend it.

The GS is a great car, With the C7 your getting a car at full sticker price & 1st year bugs..

If you want the 'real' numbers make a phone call to a forum dealer like Mike at Criswell Chevy, and he, will give you the facts.

IMO, keep your new GS for a couple of years, and then trade for a C7 later on if you still want one...

Given the prices these are selling for, I'm thinking it might hurt.

Especially considering allocation is limited for the c7 for the first run.


That's why I jumped now, figure I can enjoy owning my dream car now for a couple years, and then look into getting a c7.

I tell people at work, if you always wait for the newest thing, you will never have the opportunity to enjoy it in the first place.

Personally, I'd wait until seeing the C7 on the road for awhile. I've seen the car in person and I'm not digging the rear end (although the interior is gorgeous). I suspect that the rear end will be revamped in year 3 or 4. Hold your horses for awhile. The C6 is still an amazing car. I'll purchase the C7 once it's "fine tuned". Look at the progress GM designers made between 2005-2013, especially 2008 and 2010.

Enjoy your GS now.

And in a few years, under-MSRP on a new C7.

The C7 is beautiful and will be here for the next 9 years. A GS is a iconic vehicle only built for three years totally less than 25,000 vehicles in that time frame. Don't let it go just yet

Chevy dealers are salivating over the coming of the C7. Some are already proclaiming that they are doing us a huge Mother Theresa-style favor by only charging MSRP. At MSRP they laugh all the way to the bank -- and after they steal the trades of those who must have the C7 immediately, it's Vegas, Hawaii and the Cayman Islands, sucker.

I bought a 13 in September. The 13 was a great deal. If you think the prices will fall on the 13's, imagine what they'll fall on a 6, 7 or 8. Now you have the last year of the C6's and if you keep the miles down you'lll do ok if you sell in a couple years. It will take a while for C7 prices to drop and there will always be folks that want to stay closer to $40k than $50K.

It was only after seeing the C7 that I decided to buy a 13 C6.

Not sure at this point, but you WILL take a bath, too bad because that C7 is HOT.

yep......let the "fever" for the C7 subside........

'Darkside'

I'm at the opposite spot right now. I like the GS better than the new C7 but see a significant drop in price coming soon. As much as I want a GS now, most of the decent ones are priced at least in the mid 40's or higher. With a base 7 having more hp and the new factor starting at 52k, I can't see the GS owners realistically asking anywhere near their current prices. I agree with the others that you should just sit back and enjoy what you have.
