Be sure to get the AWD Trailblazer SS. You can't go wrong with that vehicle.

Good luck with the sale... You'll be lucky to get $20k... Resale value isn't worth squat on these...

sounds kind of like the predicament i was in, when i had my brand new 95'
formula m6. found out my girlfriend (now wife) was pregnant. traded
it in for a 4x4 suburban. figured it wasn't practical with a car seat.
to this day, she still says i didn't have to do that. yeah right.
ten years later, i got the the hawk. traded an 04' imp ss for it.
i get more grief now with this one. maybe because the firehawk is in the garage,
and not her suburban
good luck

They will want 23-24.5K for it. From what I've seen online you might get 1.5 - 2k more selling yourself if you can wait and want to deal with all that goes with it.

Good luck.

Don't forget about the season switch, it's still 4WD time and not 2-door sporty.

Wait till spring (May), too many trucks - price goes down, and a guy's thoughts turn to a fast car for the summer (MCSS price / sale is better).

How much do they want for it?

Would make a nice hauler.

I just have to settle for it to be a PITA when getting the kid in and out of the back seat since resale is squat on my chebby.

You'll only have to put up with it for a year and a half or so ... till the kids start to walk on their own.

Ehhh, my neighbor down the street has a black one. It sounds nice, but stock is not all that. Probably has more mods available than ours do though.

I still think having 4 doors means you have 4 handles

However, getting into that back is not nearly as easy as you would think and is kind of small (I think anyway). SUV would be better. Going with that truck would say you don't really care about gas mileage. Why not something like the Avalanche?

(And I am a Pontiac guy )

I wanted the SS cuz it's pretty much still a performance truck. 345 stock hp. lower sport suspenshion and AWD. TONS of mods out there. the 4 door has plenty of room. the back doors open reverse so getting in and out is easy. the cab doors and back doors are all open air then.. really cool..
