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.

Ernie · Jun-22-22 8:17PM

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

THANKS!!

firemunkee · Jun-23-22 4:30AM

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

Ernie · Jun-23-22 7:23PM

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

Ernie · Jun-24-22 12:02AM

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.

Ernie · Jun-25-22 4:38PM

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.

firemunkee · Jun-27-22 2:06AM

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.

Good call Ernie. That would have pushed me away also. You never know about those gremlins!

Ernie · Jun-27-22 12:15PM

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!

Ernie · Jul-21-22 1:42PM

Somehow, I missed seeing this. Thanks for the heads up.

backtofuturetoyota · Jul-22-22 12:39PM

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.

Ernie · Jul-22-22 12:49PM

Went over $30k…

I may be looking at a QX80 this weekend.

Ernie · Jul-28-22 1:12PM

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.

drxfish · Jul-28-22 3:49PM

Wow! Very cool. Congrats!

backtofuturetoyota · Jul-28-22 3:55PM

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

Ernie · Jul-28-22 5:25PM

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.

GregF · Jul-29-22 1:08PM

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.

OK...the Malibu gets great gas mileage!

Ernie · Jul-29-22 3:39PM

Gee thanks George...578 pages!

The Owners Manual is in the glove box. Where it will stay.

hookup · Jul-29-22 4:06PM

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'!

hookup · Jul-30-22 9:45PM

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
