Hey Poorboy,
Do you want to sell your Tahoe straight out...to me?
If so, how much do you want for it?

We were debating which vehicle to get rid of the Caravan or the Tahoe, but my mechanic made that decision easy....in his words,
"I`m not working on that stinking Dodge anymore"

..since he`s related and doesn`t charge me for labor....it was pretty easy to decide...

....but make me an offer I can`t refuse

Focusedonsound..yes the Escape Limited is a great deal up here $695 down and $269 a month, it drove good and was comfortable, but there was very limited back seat room and the gas mileage just basicaly sucks compared to other vehicles of the size:dunno ....liked the new design though and if gas and kids weren`t a factor...:lol I`d probably choose it...

I`m going to do some more test driving on Monday and see how it goes..thanks and keep the opinions coming

Steve, there are good deals on the 2004 sub outback because of the new design for 05. Dealers around here are giving a 4500 discount plus fin. and the gas mil. is about 22 around town. That`s what my wife gets in hers.

looked at the Subaru`s and there are some very good deals but they were not comfortable to get in and out of and the seats were rather hard for my big butt

...they even have an awesome deal for the Forester Turbo but everytime I got in and out I banged my knee on the steering column...my neighbor who has an Outback said the same thing...it`s his only complaint but he says his right knee is always sore:dunno

Well we picked the Equinox

we went with the front wheel drive vs the awd since I also am a bit skeptical that the American awd system will last.
I think it`s cool to get a 2005 in 2004 so we are modern and up to date

...even next year

thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions

Is the minivan gone now?

**Poorboy** · 06-23-2004, 12:40 PM

no not yet ..they didn`t want it:boohoo

My wife has a CRV and loves it. Not too big not too small. Real time all wheel drive which means it "kicks in" when you need it. Other wise it is front wheel. We will get a new one in 2005 as they are being redesigned and looks nicer with many more feature available.

Works well with my 7 and 3 year old kids.

At least you have the same faith in domestic power train systems as me. LOL

I think you shoudl of went with the WRX but I guess it is just not the car an old guy wants to be driving around.

Just joking Steve!

:lol I like Chevy`s and it has a lot of room for me and the kids..the back seat moves 8" back and keeps the kids from kicking me

The kids go in the back? My parents always tied me to the roof. But now that I think about it my sister always got to ride inside!

Get some pics of it up when you get it Steve.
