Trading for an 07 Escalade...thoughts?

[Modded]

Haha RT I don't know where you live but the Esky drivers around my area are mid-adged dads/men who are well prominent (over $500k and way up houses) and not gangsta like you described!!
LoL if anything Tahoes have more gangsta drivers than Eskys!
The aged over here have Bentleys, Mercedeses and othe foreign nice ride. The DTS is the only more common retiree car over, not even the Town Car.
Plus what else do you expect, the Escalade is the most luxurious American SUV, and one of the more luxurious SUVs in worldwide general!

You will owe more than the Esky is worth probably in 12 months of payments if not sooner......look at what you are paying on the total loan with interest.

Looks like you're really not sure of what you want at this point......

the market for truccs is so f'd up that it is possible for him to walk off with a fullt loaded esky for cheaper becuz dealers need to get rid of them on that note i would trade it in.... but again with the intrest and length of the loan he may be paying more in the long run if he decides to get a camaro then obviously he would be paying much less unless the dealer has a mark up on it which i would doubt becuz the new mustangs and the challnger are out so to be competitive the markup[ couldnt be that much/ on a side note the new transformer movie is due in a couple weeks the movie which damn near declared the camaro presence could also be motive to mark up the price...

It sound to me like you are upside down in your Tahoe correct? If so i would keep it.

I just re read your post. There is no way you will keep it 6 years. I know i am 16 too, and you'll see something you like 6 months down the road and want to trade again.

I cant keep a car 6 months. As much as I would like to, and im 22. We just dont get the praticality gene until were atleast over 30. Even when I was younger I traded cars alot, now it was one POC for another. But I still changed.

 

[zach2011]

True, I probably won't keep it for the 6 years. And the dealer gave me a good offer on the one Camaro they had here, but it was already sold when I went back. It was still there though. For the town I live in, I was shocked to hear they already had 8 orders.

And yeah there are quite a few Escalades here but only rarely do I see older people driving them. I see them in Mercedes or CTS cars. All of the NBS Escalade drivers I see are blonde chicks, or at least it feels that way. Most of the previous body style ones belong to older people.


And I don't really know what I want, you were right Fyrcaptain. I just don't. I can't tell if the Escalade/Camaro deal would be saving me money since I'm going to an older model SUV, or a new car that's worth less than my Tahoe. I like mine enough to keep it, but I'm not too attached to let it go.

 

[nc6600]

The main question is are you upside down(owe more than your Tahoe is worth)? If so do NOT and i repeat do NOT trade in till you get it paid down some. BTW i can tell you if you get the Camaro your payment will not be going down.

 

[Rollin Thunder]

camaro+17 year old+ insurance= ****

 

[zach2011]

Haha the insurance rate scared me. Not going for the Camaro. But I am not upside down in my Tahoe payments, I owe much less than its worth.

Then do what makes you happy! You want the Esky go get it. I am actually thinking about selling both my trucks for a 5 series bimmer or a Denali.
