Sell?

I want to see how many miles I can get on it before dropping a new turbo Ecotec in it in 2025.

both cars are in really good condition
told them good luck finding one for that price
Welcome to reality. The dealer will never give you retail.

If they offered you more they would not take as much off the car you would buy.

Also accept the fact the SS will not gain value for at least 25 years unless there is some crazy deamd crated for them in the future.

Kit it clean and drive it 10 years and you will see the value out of it that way. Buying new cars no matter what one is one of the of the poorest investments anyone can make regardless of brand.

13k is about right for an SS. Sorry, you don't drive a BMW, you drive a Chevrolet, it depreciates real fast.

I didn't buy my SS to sell it. I bought it to drive it. And drive it. And drive it.

When it's done - and I mean DONE - it'll be worth about $1.98.

Of course, between now and then, I will take great care of my favorite ride, will make sure it looks showroom-new, that the oil is changed regularly, etc., etc.

I cannot afford to purchase a car that appreciates in value, so I'll make do with the SS.

but my main concern is that the car with 28k and the one with 7k is only a 500 dollar difference

Sorry, that sucks.

Mine had more miles than that after 5 months without a hiccup, burp or fart.
It's still flawless after 31.5K

The simple fact is the dealer does not want them plain and simple. Miles really have little to do with it. This is just not the kind of car someone comes in looking for daily and if one has a 5 sp they want it even less since less people could even drive it.

Prices are down on most trades today. Even many BMW models. They just cost more to begin with.

Times are tough for dealers and many can get low mileage hight turn over cars they can get in and sell quick A dealer wants a car as short of a time as possible.

GM sold near 100,000 units per year average and 20-30% were rentals. Not good for resale.
