Idear of trading the fbody So Ive been thinking alot lately about how my fbody will be paid off in a couple months, and Ive kinda grew out of the whole sports car idear. Dont get me wrong, I love the car. I just think its time for a change now. I want the extra room, something a bit better in quality, and ride. Ive been looking at 2003 - 2006 tahoes. And I was curious to see peoples opinions that own or have owned one before. Ill be looking to spend around $15k including down payment and trade in on one with the right mileage.

The tahoes are nice, my mom used to have one for a long time. I wouldn't DD one though, just too large and uses too much gas for my tastes. I would look into a larger sedan as kind of a middle ground. Sports car to huge suv is a dramatic change

do you really want another car payment? my 02 Z28 will also be paid off within the next 3-4 months, and there is no way i want to get into another car payment. I would honestly find a scraper or something to roll around in. Something that you can pay off in cash with no car payments.

MPG isnt a problem with me, probably never will be either. And the thing is, Im looking for something that is better in interior quality, ride quality, and room/storage. So I wouldnt want to get a beater, or cheaper DD as a second car since Im actually trying to get into a better overall vehicle. I use to drive a 99 expedition, and a 2001 silverado. I feel more comfortable in trucks or suvs anyways. Also payments wouldnt really bother me much aslong as its roughly around $275 a month.

What about a sports sedan? I have been thinking about upgrading from my fbody as well. The Pontiac G8 is a good option I think. They aren't too expensive and are roomy four door cars. I think that will be my next car, unless i can somehow scrounge some cash and get into a new CTS-V
