Personally, I would do the trade if the Camaro checks out. Also, I wouldnt give over $12k for a FRC with 136k on it.

Take a magnet with you and if it checks out I'd do the trade. You have another C5 but no early Camaro. I envy your garage space.

Dont forget Car buyers will have to pay cash for that car and you would prob end up breaking even. Individuals can still get a loan on your vette

very good point. we are also talking about 12 to 18 thousand cars and not 30 to 40. it is a good point though, I didnt consider that.

p.s. your car looks sick, where on the island are you

I think that your car is worth $12K tops.
