getting a new car what you guys think


Recommended Posts

I pay just under $260 a month full coverage, every discount available, and a $150 deductible... Insurance is optioned out just for my Blazer and I'm 19 with 0 insurance raising tickets.

edit: I hope you have a good job, b/c gas and insurance on that thing is gonna eat you alive... My Blazer 15 or less mpg city FTL... That thing prolly 12...

12 highway if it has the same gas guzzling feature as my truck and whoever said something about the fuel pump is exactly right. The only good thing is parts are cheap and plentiful.

LOL It will actually be worse than your truck (well, not including the system). You carry air in that bed of yours. They'll be carrying seats and such.

Though DANG. That's the same number my dad gets in his "not quite 3/4 ton". 4WD and/or 4.10 gearing?

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

Idk about the price, that thing will probably be nothing but trouble at that age and those miles. You can get a pretty decent car/truck for that price...

Actually, beside the problems already listed, this era of GM trucks are fairly trouble free. That 5.7 is a cockroach. I've personally seen a couple those things go over 300,000 miles and still be solid. On occasion I'll see our old Suburban, and when we got rid of it it had over 280k. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.

My worries come in with me wondering if the previous owner(s) took care of the truck.

EDIT: Though I don't follow Escalade prices, I do think the price is about 4-5 thousand too high. You can't get around the fact that its a 13 year old truck.

I can buy an Escalade that's five or so years newer for 1000 more.
