My new DD Well, I got it. 2006 Trailblazer SS!
Black with dark gray interior.
49k
All options except Nav, including dvd-player w/wireless headsets and remote.
AWD
17,995
I went down on Tuesday, when it was still listed for 18,995. I knew it was a hair out of my price range so I talked him down to 18,295 over the phone before I even made the trek down below Pottstown.
So, I get there and the place was packed. I was given a plate and keys and was told to have fun. I drove about 10 miles on the country roads and learned how it handled, what kind of braking/acceleration it had, etc. Brought it back, looked over it from bumper to bumper, floor to roof. The engine bay is a little dirty, but no big deal. I told the sales guy I was interested but I want to talk to the bank first.
Wednesday rolls around and I call the bank, insurance company, and put $250 down to hold the thing for me so no one else picks it up. Thursday (yesterday), me and my Dad went down and got it.
When we got back home I showed some of my family and friends, and just could not get enough of it. The little guy watched like an hour of Star Wars on DVD in the back haha.
It's under 400/month, insurance is now up to like $200/month with all four cars (I brought up all the premiums on everything too).
These are dealer pics...
Big gay cover
The picture is actually extremely crisp, and the headphones kick ***.
255/50/20 Goodyear Eagles.
If I had to pick, I'd take nav over a DVD player any day. But, I couldn't pass this up.
The imperfection: There's a slight tear on the pocket on passenger side seat. It looks like the previous owner had a kid (judging by how broken in the leather is in the back) that liked to pull on it. Oh well!

Very nice Chris, let me know if you need any detailing done 
You could always pick up a Garmin or other portable GPS. I got a Nuvi 360 a couple months back and it's awesome.

Cool Steve! I'll definitely keep you in mind; my wife has a horrid habit of not cleaning her truck...
