Well our time in Canada is almost up and I promised my wife that we'd replace the minivan once we were done up here.:thumb:
As of right now we're on the fence between betting a 2011 - 2013 Impala for around $18k or an older tahoe 2007 - 2008 for $22k.
Now the Impala is an LT with 8k miles and the tahoe is an LTZ with 106k miles. We weren't even going to consider a Tahoe due to the price. But last night my wife saw a white 2007 and she really likes it but is unsure due to the miles. The miles don't scare me a ton; our last Impala had 95k when purchased and the duramax with 88k miles. In the time I owned the Impala I didn't do much to it, changed oil, washed it, flushed the tranny, and spark plugs; duramax is another story. It was going strong right up to the point the other vehicle plowed into the side of it. The main thing that has me concerned is the tranny on the tahoe and transfer case.
When we got married my wife gave up her explorer, she's always wanted an SUV back deep down inside. I love Tahoes as well but can't afford a newer one with low miles. What I don't like is the mileage they get and being I own the dually if we need more room we can just drive that, instead of having 2 large vehicles. I like the Impalas; how they ride and good fuel mileage compared to a tahoe/larger vehicle.
I guess I'm asking the board
1. 2011 - 2013 Impala with 5 - 13k miles for around $16 - $19
2. 2007 - 2008 Tahoe with 80 - 110k miles for around $18k - $22k
3. Open to other options but don't want to spend more than $23k and I will not finance, cash sale.
Thanks guys as always for the help,
