Looking to buy a new car...

[Hotchef181818]

Any salesmen on here? I know I've run into a few but can't remember who you are. Would prefer a dealer in south Denver. I'm looking to trade my 07 Subaru legacy gt in on a ?? (more than likely another Tahoe). Shoot me a pm if you can help.

[Bailey Guns]

Not a salesman and I can't help. The wife sold her 05 Subaru last year and bought a 2012 Traverse. Same size as a Tahoe with more seating and it's the quietest vehicle I've ever been in. She averages 22mpg going up and down the hill to work. I'd prefer a Tahoe but she was the one buying.

I need to get a new SUV when I get back. And by new I mean another one.

[Rooskibar03]

I'm in the biz. PM for questions.

I don't tow anything anymore so I'm not opposed to options. I've owned a Tahoe in the past and it worked really well for me. Problem is I'm going to start driving the wife's Subaru and she will be driving the new car and she's not super fond of the size of a Tahoe. I'll look into the traverse for sure.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the styling. Oh well.

I'm pretty certain one of the members here is a salesman at a Porsche dealer. Maybe he could hook you up with something cool to drive?

Just had my first baby a few months ago ray, I doubt the wife wants me whipping the kid around in anything faster than what I already drive. Just need more space and comfort.

[Irving]

The only one I know is banned so it may be more difficult to PM him.

[TheWeeze]

Buy a lease return vehicle. That's all I can say. Don't buy brand new. Buy the vehicle that's already depreciated an incredible amount.

Miles, condition, auto or stick etc?

FWIW, my father used to put me to sleep with night rides in his Porsche 356 many moons ago. Porsche, there is no substitute.

95k, 5speed. It's in good condition. Just did the timing belt 10k early to be safe, replaced a split cv boot, changed all fluids except brake to full syn. I think I hear a rear wheel bearing going out so I need to look at that. It s terbeen lowered with springs AND shocks that match and the shocks are adjustable dampening. It's been tuned for stage 2 which bumps the power a little bit just by swapping the exhaust system to aftermarket. Sway bars upgraded as well as front control arm bushings. I installed a short throw shifter since the factory one is very vague. Aftermarket black wheels. Windshield got a crack 2 weeks ago and is being replaced with a heated one tomorrow afternoon. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

No intention of buying new. I know tahoes pretty well as I used to own one so I'm looking for a used one I doubt I'll ever buy new.

[ANADRILL]

4 runners are nice...get the trail edition

[sniper7]

My wife has the equinox andit is awesome. More than enough room for a couple kids in the back, the rear seat slides so you can get lots of storage. A ton of legroom and headroom and I'm 6'1. With kids, get leather.
6cyl is nice but we opted for the 4. Plenty of power to get in the mountains and she gets 25mpg average. if it were me driving it could easily get 28-30

I can barely deal with my wifes non-turbo 4cyl Subaru legacy. It's gonna have to have a v8 or very impressive v6 for me to even consider owning it.

[Rooskibar03]

That Subaru 4 is awful isn't it? There are some decent 6c engines out there, but honestly no replacement for a V8 in a large vehicle.

[kwando]

How much do you want for the subby?

Call Peter Schramm @ (72O) 327-O23three. He works at centennial sales and leasing. Tell him Simon sent ya

More than 99% of dealers are gonna give me. I'm leaning towards private sale.

He knows a guy that works for PlanetHonda. I worked with them, and had great service.

[sniper7]

My guy down at Len Lyall Chevrolet has treated me very well the last 5 vehicles we have bought from him. Chris Henderson is his name.

Test drive the v6 equinox just to see. It is a whole lot cheaper than the traverse or Tahoe and still has lots of room and great options.

[spyder]

Chevy Avalanche! Sorry... that's our next vehicle......

[Hotchef181818]

Father in law owns one. I never will. Lack of weight over the rear axle vs a Tahoe makes it a completely different vehicle in my opinion.

[sniper7]

Better get that avalanche quick. I believe this is the last year for them.

[stoner01]

Wife ad I were looking at the Kia Sorentos. I would have to get the V6 if we did. the 4cyl felt like it had some balls to it, but not enough to satisfy me.

[Stevensje]

Look at the F150. 60mo 0% or 72mo 1.9%. Zero percent is like free money... I wouldn't buy the ecoboost. Get the 5.0. I have a crew cab and it has a ton or room in the cab. Fits the wife and 2car seats and a dog easily.

Off topic, but I love my EB. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I like my Ecoboost, just had some issues with it. I'd really like a Crewcab Raptor with the 6.2 liter. I'll probably sell my ecoboost in a year or two and buy one.

I would love to have one, theres just no way to justify it to the wif

Nope. Wife has a 2.5i. That ones getting about 32mpg
