Default Maynard going out to pasture

Well my 18 year old S10 may be going out to pasture. Tranie is slipping and he has 150,000 miles on him. Doors don't shut right and moon roof is sealed shut cuse it leaks, radio is shot and dents galore (Curtisy of my son).

Ronda and I are going car "SHOPPING" this week-end. I will get Ronda's 2004 Blue Monte SS as a daily driver and she will get the new family car.

The Deuce will still be my good weather toy.

We are considering Buicks, Malibu and Impalia. Ole Maynard will get traded in on a push-pull 2K trade in.

This has been in our thought process for some time now finally going to act on it.

I hate having to retire an old friend. I hope you find what will fill your needs.

Just be careful on the push pull or drag deal if your buying a pre owned car. Most dealers jack the prices up ta few days before to eat up the costs of your trade in. It's always best to try and work a deal and the let them know about the trade later to see if you can get a better deal. Good luck in the hunt. There has been a lot of talk about G8's on here latley they look like nice cars.
