VERY Surprised by GM Quality...

Yikes... sucks to not only pay more for the unit but also take it on the interest rate. But hey... ignore that for a bit... then try to refi the car later with a credit union or something.

Actually that was one cool thing about Drivetime. We were able to go back up a few days after we signed, put more money down that comes straight off principal, and buy our way down to an 8% finance rate.

We still paid too much, but we're not getting raped on financing, and we're only making payments on what the vehicle is worth, so we're not upside down.

If it's worth $2k less than what you paid for it. How are you not upside down? We can disregard my ? as I'm not trying to jack your high. It's a nice truck.

I know my local LEO dept is going to all Tahoes now..

No man its all good. On the way to pick it up I told my wife "I bet nobody has ever been this excited to go get ripped off." We got a good laugh about it.

The only reason I'm not upside down is because I put $6k down. But hey, at least if we total it we can get right into a new vehicle and won't owe. We might even get a couple bucks back.

I test drove a 2010 Camaro V8 6-speed a few weeks ago. That was fun! It was like sitting at the bottom of a bathtub though after being used to the big windows in my Camry.

It didn't rattle like I thought it would and was fairly quiet. I rode in a friends Mustang GT about a month ago and the rattles in that thing were nuts..

Great lookin truck, Josh. I would rather pay a little more for something that I am happy in and with then pay book for something I hate. Glad you found something that you are happy with and looks like a great vehicle.

Yup, I researched all that, knew the numbers, and did it anyway. Still pretty damn pleased about it too.
