    Help me pick my next car...

    Hey everyone,
    Help me decide what to get. Ive been going back and fourth with this for a month. My original plan was to get a 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS. This is still a strong option, but I have been thinking about what cars I can get for the same or lower price. I am keeping my truck, so this car wont be a daily driver. 4 doors is a plus but not necessary. I have access to a dealer auction, so I can pick up used cars really cheap. The prices I listed are all auction pricing with the exception of the Camaro which I will have to by at MSRP. What do you guys think? Pick one and let me know why you picked it.

      I say something cheap. the CTS V has pickup, higher quality even though it's used and best of all you keep $6000 in car payments in you wallet.

                  I say take the newer one, less problems, less miles. im assuming you dont know the history of these cars from an auction.

                    Think of it this way....... everyone seems to point to the lessor costs. The G8 will depreciate at a faster rate, but have a better warranty. The Caddy is a more serious package and someone else has taken the biggest hit in depreciation.
