Chevy trucks arnt bad, their cars suck ass, andnone of their vehicles seem to have a soul, they are like the red heads of the auto world. I drive a chevy colorado and it is bland, but it gets the job done, and asside from having to clean the throttle body every 20k miles I havnt had any problems with it

Nice looking.

That gas mileage makes me love my zippy little four-banger though.

My dad bought a 2009 or something impala with around 3k miles. In two years he's almost at 100k with no problems other than a cracked windshield.

Nice lookin ride. Why did you though pay so much over what you KNOW it's valued?

Had to make the sacrifice to build my wife's credit, and still manage to get a nice car. We could've gotten a cheaper Tahoe at a Mexican tote the note lot...but they were rough, and don't report to the bureaus.

Yikes... sucks to not only pay more for the unit but also take it on the interest rate. But hey... ignore that for a bit... then try to refi the car later with a credit union or something.

Actually that was one cool thing about Drivetime. We were able to go back up a few days after we signed, put more money down that comes straight off principal, and buy our way down to an 8% finance rate.

We still paid too much, but we're not getting raped on financing, and we're only making payments on what the vehicle is worth, so we're not upside down.

If it's worth $2k less than what you paid for it. How are you not upside down? We can disregard my ? as I'm not trying to jack your high. It's a nice truck.

I know my local LEO dept is going to all Tahoes now..
