I'm thinking of possibly trading my truck off due to gas mileage 10.3 mpg is killing me which is sad because i LOVE my truck, but it seems like a trip to walmart (40 miles one way) or even to just go somehwere kills me on gas and I find myself standing in the store saying hmmm something I want or will I need gas this week so if I do go through with it I scoped out a 2001 Grand Prix GT with about 109k the dealer wants $5995 for it kbb says its worth $5,770 at a dealership, my truck is considered $6,300 in excellent and $6,080 in Very good and about $5,800 or $5,900 cant remeber right now in just good I'd say my trucks between good and very good. So what do you guys think? My grandma is trying to convince me that I'll be sad in winter without a truck but I did it for many years before and I'm pretty much set on thinking mpgs will make up for that? anay advice? anyways heres some pics.

 

Looks like a nice gp

 

IK I really like it the same dealer has a GTP but for 7k with 98k miles but its a four door and brown anyways hes always given me good deals so i popped up his sight and this baby caught my eye, I was looking at an 04 Ram he had 4 door with 134k for 9k but that seems to high miles for me

 

Listen to your grandma. She would not steer you wrong.

 

What is your plan, are you looking to trade in your truck? It would be nice if they would trade your truck for the GP without much cash out of pocket.

 

It depends on how bad your winters are. If you get tons of snow I'd say keep the Truck - if you don't and they plow your roads well, get the GP.

 

Or consider buying a smaller, more fuel-efficient truck / SUV.

 

I usually go big truck or no truck, I'm not a huge fan of small trucks. I've driven a car in all winters that I've been driving except for one so far, and besides using 4x4 to get out of the driveway without shoveling and to get more traction up a hill I have really used it. Since the dealer has always worked with my my plan is to do a straight trade. Well pretty much straight I'm gonna tell him straight or no and see where it takes me.

 

That's a decent looking GP...I would get what's best for you & what you like & can afford...I think if the GP can't get on the road and go, that you should just stay home...

The price of fuel is increasing again & a ride with better MPG's is a big bonus over a 10 MPG truck...

If you trade your truck, I hope you have friends with a truck when needed...

Good Luck with your deal & I hope you end up with something that YOU WILL LIKE...<~> that's what matter's most 4-Sure...Keep us updated `OK

 

Yeah deff dont do anything but a straight trade if you decide on the gp
