i dont mean to be rude but at first i thought this was a joke but realize its not so my question is, do you have a lot of kids? do you have a job that requires you to haul a lot of stuff? how can you really justify this as cheaper when you will be spending 2x more in gas for the thing. to each his own and i hope your happy with it. i just dont understand it.

No kids. Yes to hauling stuff. 9-5 doesn't have ground clearance that Yukon has so it's harder to go up in the mountains for photography. It's actually only 2/3 the mpg of my 9-5. It's cheaper because it's cheaper to maintain.

sleet said:
but there are sooooooo many other options available with those same examples you mentioned instead of a big gas guzzling tank. unless he has a lot of kids or a job where he needs to haul stuff it still doesnt make sense to me.

Yeah but not in my price range. That and I'm familiar with the GM trucks and know how to work on them.

Why do you insist on driving away members?

ChevyCorvette541, don't listen to him. Stick around.

From the first page I was surprised on how civil everyone was being. Now it looks about normal.

Parts are probably a little cheaper and easier to find, however its reliabilty will be a lot worse and will end up hurting him in the long run.

Reliability??? Based on the experience of my ENTIRE family a GM suv/truck is 10 times more reliable than either of the Saabs I had. 1st Saab I put over $3-4k in and sold for $1,400. 2nd Saab I put $1,000 in less than 1 month after purchasing. My last GM truck I sold with over 218k miles on it for over $3k and it still ran great and the only thing it ever needed was a thermostat which was CHEAP.

the ride height puts him closer to heaven.

LOL! Now that is funny!

Wat?

Our Tahoe has never once given an issue.

The 9-5... 2 serpentine belts, a couple A/C lines (same one, replaced twice). fuel pump, power steering hose.... I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff.

Just sayin'

Exactly my point

Didn't look at a 9-7X Aero?

+s
More room
MORE Power (395 hp, 400 lb-ft tq)
Better 0-60 times + top speed
Sun roof
Sub PLUS Bose, PLUS nav, PLUS XM...
Steering wheel radio controls
Memory Seats
Rear seat DVD player.
AND we kept the 9-5, too.
HUGE discounts ($14k off list)
TONS of aftermarket go faster stuff if you're so inclined
New (warranty)
Smaller than the Denali

-s
Lower MPG, but that's the price of admission.
Smaller than the Denali

Kidding aside, we were seriously looking at either the GMC/Tahoe or the Acadia, but the deals Saab was offering was just incredible. Couldn't pass it up.

I wouldn't mind a 9-7 Aero at all, they look awesome. However, they're only slightly out of my price range.

Nothing makes one feel welcome to a forum like one of the main people running the forum essentially saying, "GTFO n00b, you aren't one of us."

:!:

Yeah I'm not a snobby liberal environmentalist. Sorry. Oh, was snobby too bad of a word for you guys? I'm sorry, it's a common word just like the other one you guys got your panties in a bunch over.

ChevyCorvette541- "I never promised to leave. I said that whenever my car sells I will leave."

It is not about being driven away. It is about standing by what you say. In the past, haven't you looked at people with less respect when they say they are leaving/done with this board only to have them come back or not leave like they said?

Everyone changes their mind, why can't I? Maybe I'll stay since it's so easy to push you guys over the edge. Or until I get banned for not conforming to your ideologies.

im guessing your being sarcastic by saying a 9-7 aero is only slightly out of your price range, because if thats just slightly out of your range then yes theres a bunch of options in that price range under that.

Yes sorry, my price range was $5k +/- $200. Trying to find a car/truck with relatively low miles in good condition is not that easy.

Hypocritical? Come on, I agreed to being the same, how is that hypocritical? EVERYBODY changes their minds.

Man, everybody on here is so touchy. You know what, I'll just delete any reference to you know who to prevent another pointless political discussion on here. This thread is about my new car, nothing more.

Because he was your golden boy. It wasn't a comment against you know who, I was only asking if the person you like changes his mind, what is wrong with me changing my mind?

ChevyCorvette541 · Nov 26, 2008

PS I apologize for not being politically correct in my now deleted post. I should have said 'immigrants swimming across the river and entering our country illegally'. Sorry to get your panties in a bunch.

From what I have seen of your posts, you have no right to accuse anyone of non-civility.
