Getting Rid Of The Silvy

So anyways, I was thinking about getting rid of my '07 Silverado.

 

Here's the thing.

 

$1,984,850,000 Left on lease payments.

 

Anyways, I'm paying $841,874,982/month right now for 2 more years.

 

The dealer can get me into an '07 Grand Prix for $567,564,445/month finance for 5 years. (that's with the lease payment worked into the price)

 

Gas = 30785mpg (Grand Prix) vs 1747mpg (Truck)

 

Insurance is 898564546540 bucks cheaper/year for the Prix.

 

Is it worth it?

 

 

EDIT: RESOLVED ISSUE I AM KEEPING THE TRUCK! LOL!

Gas = 30mpg (Grand Prix) vs 17mpg (Truck)

 

 

It's near impossible to ever come out ahead when getting into a new vehicle for gas mileage reasons anyway, but more importantly i want to say:

 

 

If you get a consistent 30MPG out of a Grand Prix, I will eat my shorts. :lol:

No its not worth it.

 

I was in a similar situation and when I took a step back and did the math I realized that its not worth it at all.

Where did you get the 30MPG figure??? A GP is rated 18/28 and I seriously doubt you do all highway driving, so your realistically looking at a combined average closer to 22-24MPG. Plus with a 5 year finance with the lease rolled in you will be upside down on the GP until the last year of the note, meaning you'll have to roll that amount (or pay it up front) if you want a new vehicle within the next 48-50months.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
