Happen to see this and thought of you. Just in case you're still looking. It's not exactly cheap, but what is nowadays. I still think it's the best of the bunch.

A little older than I want but I think I will make a call...
THANKS!!

That's a nice vehicle! I hope you get that one!!

So, in today’s market, the price is competitive. But man, I hate paying up and not wheeling and dealing. Miss those days.

A fiend of mine works at CarFax. We did some investigation on the car. Excellent records but car has been involved in 4 accidents. While not major, it leaves me suspicious. But, a good negotiating tool if the frame is straight.
Offline
I was able to work the price down a little but was still nervous about the 4 minor accidents so I did not buy it. The car had excellent maintenance records.
Offline
Dang that's a bummer about the accidents Having a good maintenance record could be an indication that whatever damage was done in all those accidents would have been taken care of? I don't blame you for passing on it though.
Offline
Good call Ernie. That would have pushed me away also. You never know about those gremlins!
Offline
Thanks for the lead.
But the hunt continues. I am hoping used car prices will start to drop with these high gas prices.

Ernie, found this one for you in New Jersey!

I think this is it!
Offline
Somehow, I missed seeing this. Thanks for the heads up.
Offline
no problem. It was at 11k when I saw it and it only had 6 hrs left. I don't know what the final bid was so you probably didn't miss anything.
Offline
Went over $30k…
I may be looking at a QX80 this weekend.
Offline
Got the QX80...man, it's got a lot of bells and whistles! But it has a nice V8 which is what I am looking for.
My neighbor (21) will now be selling the Trailblazer. He sold my 2500HD for me as well. Yes...he gets a nice commission.

Wow! Very cool. Congrats!

Congrats Ernie!! Your patience won out and I'm sure everyone is happy for you.

Thanks!
It’s a 2015. Got a pretty good price on it (less than what they average out at). It’s still a sellers market. I love negotiating when I buy a vehicle. Lots of holding out for my price.
Good story on the sellers. He’s an active duty Navy guy (24 years) and she’s a pediatric ER nurse. They have 6 kids. It made it tough to really work them in the wringer so we all won and that’s good.

Glad to hear you finally found a vehicle worthy of pulling the plug on.

Congrats Ernie! The QX80 is a really nice truck. Massaging seats??? Your driving next time!!

No clue, still figuring out all the bells and whistles.

Gee thanks George...578 pages!
The Owners Manual is in the glove box. Where it will stay.
Offline
LOL
I've never had a 598 page owners manual. But then again I've never had a vehicle with that many bells and whistles.
Edit - I was just browsing the owners manual. You need a manual to define all the acronyms they use

Excellent!
You can tell me stuff next time we go fishin'!

Well, the vehicle has all kinds of sounds - beeps, clicked, bongs, bells. What each mean I haven't a clue?
And still trying to decipher SRS, AFP, ICC, LDP, SOS, DCA, BSI, BSW - but I did read the car will drive itself and keep between the lanes.
There is a TOW mode you'll need to figure out how to turn on
And a SNOW mode
