Good Deal?

FTW!! I lost count how many times I located a square burb for the wife and she put the ole kibosh on it I told her I could build to be just as nice as a new one but she wouldn't have it I think she saw through me and realized it was more for me.

I'd definitely love to have a K5 like that, though. Hard to find nice ones these days!

Exactly what else is wrong with her current vehicle besides the recent tranny problem?

Ya, My wife said no to that one too....

We went out today to look at that 04 tahoe... It's gone... The lot had an 04 trailblazer for only $5500 as-is but it had 180k kms on it = 111k miles. My wife was ok with it, but I would like an Envoy instead.. IDK... The TB goes in for a mechanical at my shop on Monday. See what it needs.

Meh, it's getting old...We've had it for several years now. It has some cancer spots showing. Me thinks it has a phantom electrical issue somewhere too, and I don't have time to track it down. Random shutoffs on highway. Random gauges go wonky. Me thinks the tranny issue is actually electrical too.

Basically when it becomes unreliable, it's time to move on. And I have to keep her happy...

Pulled the trigger and bought her the 04 Trailblazer today.

I also bought the Lubrico powertrain and overcoverages options for 2yrs unlimited kms.

Final cheque total: $8245.16 after taxes, warranty, admin fee, etc. My wallet feels much lighter today for some reason. Oh yeah, my play money is gone....

Time to register for trailvoy.com I guess.


Thanks for all the opinions on the OBS guys. Too bad I couldn't talk her into it.

Sounds like you got quite a bit for your $8200, though, so that is good. As long as she's happy that's a pretty big plus
