There a lot of GMT900 Tahoes, particularly in LTZ trim levels, that still look pretty country club and are still priced way out of the hands of Abuelita.Detroit wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:57 pmif that makes a difference. Old Chebby is old Chebby, breh.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:55 pm

Not so with the GMT800. Max barely sneaks by here as this is the first year of the GMT900

Well, 900 lasted until 2015, so it makes sense I guess. An early 900 like this might be the ticket then.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:01 pmThere a lot of GMT900 Tahoes, particularly in LTZ trim levels, that still look pretty country club and are still priced way out of the hands of Abuelita.

I still really like 400 and 800's. I'd be rocking one of those ZFG.

Why does buying a JL make no sense? Just take care of it and off it after you get bored? NFG on miles. that makes more sense than having a second car you need to insure and light tax money on fire for and repair because old and whatnot.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:17 pm Speaking of I did think about getting out of the M3 and into a lease. the issue is... miles. Road trips+ my daily drive I'd be at 20-25k a year... that's not going to work financially. I know I'd be getting out of jeep for something else in 12 months or less. So "buying" one doesn't make any sense.
Buy one of those, re-sell it in a year or two, maybe you lose $6k? Worst case?

Then depreciation, I’ll lose my ass on it in the 12-18 months I’ll own it. ~10k+ in that alone

Because even though he can technically afford it making payments on two brand new vehicles for one person put the financially responsible side of Max into a place of unspeakable darkness and self loathing.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:16 pmWhy does buying a JL make no sense?

Meh, I was thinking as a single vehicle solution. Should be around $30-40k, right? That's money.Detroit wrote:That'll be too expensivetroyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:15 pm You can always just hold off for the 2.3T+10AT Bronco, how much longer is the poon lease?

No I mean get rid of the M3 and just conquer the Ming Dyansty in one vehicle for the next year or two. What's the actual incremental cost versus having an M3 and a Guadelupehauler?

Poverty means 150k+ miles, holes in the seats and faded paint. I think that is unacceptable at 10k.Detroit wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:26 pmSUV = poverty and should be priced as such. $10k ortroyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:25 pm Meh, I was thinking as a single vehicle solution.

Here is a bulletproof 5.0 powered Mercedes with acceptable miles. No it won't be terribly unreliable that powertrain is ok. And it doesn't have much in electronics. I think it is bizzare that a taco is worth double with the same year/criteria.
No turned over portapottys, no black carpets, or torn up seats or faded paint. An excellent stereo, good performance etc.
That said I am not interested in a mall cruiser, hence the "hate" for "cuvs" I am interested in something a bit more durable, that I can cheap myself on the cheap and won't give me too much of a headache.
I need the vehicle to have strong resale in the future however, I know myself, I get bored and I I don't want some old SUV to cost me 5-10k in depreciation in 12-18 months.

Suburban was too big. I couldn't go to 1/2 the trails I wanted to go on because of the long ass wheelbase and the approach/depart/breakover anglesJohnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 4:01 pmA little big but you off roaded a suburban last time in death valley IIRC and that's basically the same as this.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:27 pm

It would be cheaper for me to get a JLU Sport for sure, JLU Rubi would be comparable if I keep it for 12-18 months and cheaper if I keep it for longer than 2 years. This isn't exactly a Money move. I don't think I want to get one vehicle do it all at the moment... the JL has quite a few drawbacks over the EM.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 4:02 pmNo I mean get rid of the M3 and just conquer the Ming Dyansty in one vehicle for the next year or two.

Tahoe, Silverado, etc will be the same. Tahoe less so I guess because shorter wheelbase. If you have to install a lift kit and tires on it I really have a hard time seeing do that instead of getting a Heep you'd rather be in anyway.

Short wheelbase on the Tahoe should be better, but width will always be an issue. It's why I prefer midsize vehicles for wheeling. Wrangler, Tacoma, 4Runner, Colorado, etc. A Land Cruiser will be too wide too most likely,

The price is based on the potential for expensive repairs. The engine and transmission will likely be fine, its all the rest of it. Same reason all I could get for the the 2008 CLS550 for $16.5K. Rich people want new ones, poor people can't afford the risk. You can afford the risk. I dunno, that looks like a decent option to me. But you wouldn't be a rugged individualist like all the Jeep and Colorado owners on the forum, and for that reason, you would need to kill yourself.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 4:02 pmPoverty means 150k+ miles, holes in the seats and faded paint.
