They gave me $19,000 for my Imp. I was $1600 upside down. However with $35,535 sticker minus gms minus a $5000 doller rebate, my payments are the same down to the doller, with cheaper financing (5.24%) financing then my impala. The clincher was when a vector tune only awd tbss beat me, the same one I beat a weak before w/out a tune. Plus its more practical...

I like it alot. It does seem a little bit primative though, I have the cloth seats and no trip computer, old style radio. It does handle pretty decent, not nearly the body roll of a std. trailblazer, the impala seemed very skiddish/unpredictable when acc and turning. I guy I know with just a vector tune (on my advice) and hacked off his muffler ran a 13.6 on a fairly warm day. He ran a best of 14.2 stock. Try putting a rear facing car seat behind one of the seats in the Impala, I have to move the seat up almost a foot for clearance, not practical or comfortable. The Impala won't tow (mainly because I would never want to put a hitch on that car) my 16 ft fiberglass boat. The trailblazer comes std with a hitch and will have no problem towing that boat. Now if I liked the Impala a whole bunch I could live with the front drive and the lack of room for car seats, but I like the trailblazer more. A few weaks ago I lost a short stop light race to an lt1 vette, not by much, but he was able to get in front of me, now I know I could of ran him down and past him in the 1/4 mile but that was not that days situation. I am not going to miss front wheel drive performance. I do a lot of city driving, if most of my driving was highway, the Impala is great, if you can't stand truck like vehicles the Impala is great. Guess I've rambled long enough, sorry.

Anyway, congrats on the purchase Silver. I love those damn things, and so does the wife. If i wasn't in so much debt right now, i'd have one sitting there right next to the Imp.
