So in looking at replacement trucks for my '98 rcsb ... I do get a little excited about the SS Silverado's
Specifically 6.0 liters, and AWD (winter "capable" needed here in UT) Has anyone owned one or have any experiences ? I heard they don't get to good of mileage, but that's not too huge of a concern, as I don't put too many miles on my truck. Any input appreciated (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://x-img.autorevo.com/2005-chevrolet-silverado-ss-indio-ca-6090201/1619797-1-bigger.jpg) ~DaVe |

Sorry to hear of the woes of the sale.
Dealerships are manipulators 1st and foremost. Whether you're buying new or used. Service and parts department are the same. Unreal what they think they can get away with... legally and conscience wise. Maybe just fix what ya need to and enjoy it. Only lose money if ya sell it. |

I keep thinking that's the "cheapest" way out ... try and get it fixed and just make the monthly payments, BUT I just don't know if I could ever trust it again (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ... Or even LIKE it again, at this point I'm still pretty pissed off. I guess it proves poor man have poor ways, I tried to upgrade my truck to something "nice" and ended up with just a bunch of debt (for me "a bunch" is different) ... Most of my friends have $40k+ diesels but I guess that's a different story all together. ~DaVe |
