6 Of The Coolest Cars To Trade In For

Driving around in an outdated and frankly not very stylish car leaves tons of people saying, “No, thank you.” But you don’t have to be stuck with that old car forever! Trade in your car for an all-around cool car like one of these below.

1. Mazda 6

The Mazda 6 is a great car to trade in for due to a number of reasons. First, it’s a fairly affordable car, starting around $21,000 for a brand new model. The great news is that you can save even more on gas as the 2015 model gets an amazing 37 mpg hwy. This stylish car ranks number one in family sedans on Car & Driver’s 2014 Editors’ Choice Awards, so if you’re looking to upgrade and trade in for a better sedan, this is the car to do it with.

2. Chevrolet Camaro (5th Generation)

If you’re stuck with an older Camaro and are looking for something more modern, look to the 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro. Manufactured between 2009 and the present, these fancy options will add a bit more pizzazz to your ride than the older models. While it looks like the 6th generation will be released in 2016, the 5th Gen is at a stage where you get a modern car feel without the marked-up price of a brand spanking new vehicle straight from the factory.

Camaro owners can enjoy the sporty feel of a sleek 2-door coupe or a stunning 2-door convertible. Engine sizes vary from 3.6 L V6 engines to a beastly 7.0 L V8 engines. Options also include 6-speed automatic or manual transmissions. Ready to trade in your old car for a beauty like this?
