Trading in the G8 for a NNBS... mileage concerns..

[Stephen4036]

So, I use to have a 2001 Tahoe, loved it. Sold it.. got a 2008 G8.. not a GT, but the base model v6.. I am looking to get into an 07+ nnbs.. I cant afford a 2012 LTZ at 40k~ but I am finding many 07-09's with leather and LT trim for under 20k. with ~100k. Im just trying to get a feel for how these motors are holding up (the 4.8 and 5.3). Obviously I would prefer the 5.3 but I am not getting an NNBS for speed so a 4.8 is ok if I find the right car.

Basically I am trying to find some of you all with high mileage'd hoes.. and what if anything has gone wrong.

All LT models have the 5.3.
07-08 models have the 4 speed transmission. 09+ have the 6 speed. I would get an LTZ though but to each his own.
I have had my Yukon (5.3) for 6 years with 90K miles with zero mechanical problems. Just regular oil changes. Overall the NNBS are rock solid if u ask me.

so should I try and get an 09? is the trans going to be a big deal?

If you get one you should aim for an 09 and up.
The NNBS models don't really have anymore flaws than any other car, but the 09s and up have less little issues than the 07s and 08s.
Or you could buy my 07 when I sell it come next summer!

funny you say that. I see youre picture on google all the time of your truck.. I love it..

Thanks!
But yes, an 09 up is your best bet. Try and limit the miles as much as possible though.
Maybe aim for approx. 80k miles.

09's are looking to be out of my price range... pm about your tahoe modded and a ball park of what your gonna try to get out of it.
