If you can find one, consider an 08 used. It should be significantly cheaper.

In Washington State you have always been able to deduct the State taxes from your Federal... what is this part in the stimulus bill you talk of?

My 08 SS seems to blue book at 14K. (4800 miles) Considering I paid 24, I'll keep her awhile, you should do the same. resale has taken a dive, better keeping it for now...

I paid $17k for my '06 with the GMS discount. Now it's worth about $8500 on trade. That's not too bad for three years and 70,000 miles. I never figured the SS cars would be worth much more on trade. Performance cars tend to depreciate pretty fast anyway.

I'd look at just getting the Stage 1 or Hahn tune, Wilwood brakes from TCE, and one of those aftermarket MFD's to replace the boost gage in the car you have. It'll cost a lot less for the aftermarket upgrades in the long run.
