Default am I crazy?

Since the Rivi'* been down with a dead battery, I've been driving the SSEi. and let me tell you... it'* love. lol. I'm thinking about trading the Riviera in for a 2000+ SSEi if I can find one for a decent price and I can get atleast 6,000 out of my car. Hoping I can find an SSEi for around 12,500 or so. Think it'* possible? Am I crazy to want to trade in the Riviera already when I've only had it for a year?! I just like the sportiness of the Bonneville compared to the Riviera. I don't need to feel like I'm old.. just yet. lol.

Are you crazy...... yes.

Should you trade the Riv for a 2000+ Bonneville.... only if it'* black.
Seriously.... it'* really upto you.... either way you've got a SC'd 3800.
So you can't go wrong...

I think I have something worked out. I'll get my car paid off in about a year more, then after that, i am going to take payments over on my mom'* 2000 SSEi. It'* white, but it sure is a beaut and has 48,000 miles on it. My payments are $120 on the Riviera now, the Bonneville payments are $250. I'll probably keep the Riviera, and just buy the Bonneville off of her. She doesn't like it, she wants a Park Avenue. lol.

ssesc93 has a point.... you are still on the same drivetrain, only difference being the weight and gear ratio of the cars.
