I wouldn't waste my time. You have a vehicle you know that you have maintained. You could easily swap down to a nbs assuming you get what you want for your tahoe, but could open up a can of worms too. Remember 100k-150k some more expensive routine maintenance will come through (wheel bearings, maybe rust, tranny, dif, transfer case). Of course this all depends on how the previous owners drove them and maintained them. If you had a couple of these problems happen, you don't dave hardly any money and would be in a nbs for the price you sold your nnbs for. I have swapped a lot of vehicles and I would always recommend staying with what you have because it's cheaper, and you know the history.

Plus you don't drive much so why does it matter? It's not costing you anything to use it hardly. Not worth the potential headache!

I had a nbs denali and have a nnbs denali. I think the nnbs is better in for and finish and the seats are more comfortable. If take a nnbs over a nbs any day. Both are very reliable!

Appreciate the input guys. It seems most have the same opinions as i do on both sides. Reasons for staying and reasons for leaving. I think if someone offered me a good price on mine and this particular 03 tahoe were still available, I'd go that route. However, I am leaning towards keeping mine, just from the hassle of having to sell it and how long it would take to sell it to get what i want for it.

Im in insurance and i just keep thinking what one of my annuities would look like in a few years if I had $4k to drop in it now.

I have actually been through this as well. Bought an 04 tahoe, LOVED IT. Started looking for a house and realized I couldn't have both & sold my 04 [emoji24] . Bought a 99 tahoe that was grandpa owned and drove it for 3 1/2 years with only a couple small mods & a few maintenance items. Got the itch to upgrade and ended up in an 07 yukon. While I found the perfect 07 yukon with every option and color and price I still find myself missing the 04.

If you're able to find the right replacement & you have the mod/upgrade bug, then the hassle of selling your nnbs might be worth it. Obviously you have to weigh the cons as well & whatever maintenance is needed on the replacement should be considered too, although that can also present itself as a mod/upgrade opportunity as well [emoji48]
