Feel like a sucker trading I4 for V6

[1956kiteboarder]

The deed is done, I traded in my four month old 07 Camry CE 4cyl for a
08 Camry SE V6. I picked white with ash. It has JBL radio; Rear Spoiler,
Moon Roof; Mat set; Bumper applique; Wheel locks.

I paid 17,488 not including tax and license for the 07 Camry CE 4cyl
and 26,046 not including tax and license for the 08 Camry SE V6.

The Dealer gave me 16,000 for the trade in with 5000 miles on it.

I calculate I paid 1300 over invoice for the 08 V6 SE.

So I ate about 3000 loss on the purchase and trade in of the 07 taking into account tax and license.

Plus the mark up over invoice of 1300 for the 08.

ouch! ouch!

But I needed more of a thrill in my life than just basic reliable transportation.

What - you mean like a 4th hand Honda Civic from the 1980s complete home-done purple tint that has bubbles, and a fartcan?

Congrats on the V6 Camry purchase! I don't why Toyota even bothers selling 4-banger powered Camry models.

^ they have to, to stay competative in all the mid-size sedan classes.

Congrats on the V6, you'll love it

That's a bummer you feel that way. It should be a happy time. I'm 2 weeks into my trade-up from my 07 I4 to 08 V6 and still grinning ear to ear when driving it.

[clarkgrizwald]

18 to 26k. 4th hand civic?

ok then, how about a KICK ASS top of the line home theater set up? no? ok then, how bout a 4 wheeler! or a jet ski! or a white leopard coat with bald eagle on the inside!!

Listen the 4cyl does not cut it, if you like it stay the f out of my way , and stay in the slow lane.

I made a mistake in getting the 4cyl, and am paying for it. I plan on driving this SE into the ground, my other car is a 1998 Camry V6 LE, original owner, 282,000 miles,
TRD springs/struts and +1 tires.

My old car was more fun to drive than the 07 4cyl.

[clarkgrizwald]

mmmkay. but when i roll up to the party 5 minutes later than you in my white leopard coat, dont get mad when your girl flirts with me!

[CharmCityES]

haha congrats on the upgrade
that V6 is frickin sweet....and the SE suspension is much more fun than any other camry model
very good choice

now post some fricking pictures

OMG I'm in th same position as you OP. I am starting to hate my 4 banger, especially after seeing a dual exhaust pass me by on the freeway. Last time I was in a Nissan trying to trade mine for an Altima, they quoted me for 18k on my barely new Camry. Did you have to give a down payment on yours?

[desentrix]

You're more of a sucker for not getting the v6 to begin with. Ignore all the people pissing and moaning about its associated problems.

i dunno.....honda has a good resale value so it might have to be 5th hand

if 3k is worth it for the thrill than its well worth it. personally it wouldn't be worth it to me and would have gone a different route but to each their own
