I had this crazy notion a decade ago: I should buy a 2019 Chevy three-quarter ton to celebrate the 50th anniversary of my 1969 C20. The closer we get to 2019, the more I think I'm not in the market for a new truck! Maybe the best route is to wait until 2047, when a 2019 truck is 28 years old like mine was when I bought it. Should be more affordable then - and I can still sorta excuse it as a celebratory thing for the C20 turning 75...?

@stickguy That 2008 CTS is trouble waiting to happen.

Sandy, that Jetta must have the 1.4T engine. I never did get down to look at those. Pretty sure the wife would disown me, but it was a good deal potentially.

It's still more of a gamble than I'd be willing to take on a 10 year old car.
How's the Coronet coming along?
I do recall the two dealers I spoke to thought it was some sort of collectible and wouldn’t budge off of MSRP. That also had something to do with the “no sale”.
But, those were a hoot to test drive.
Only 2 options I wanted was the 6.2 motor and the max tow package. The only extra this one also had was the 20” wheels. If I was ordering I wouldn’t, but the deal was good.
Plus I found out that I’m getting a $700.00 Costco gift card and $400.00 in accessories since we own a small business.
That makes the deal even sweeter!

2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
also drove a couple of VWs. Jetta SE (manual, since I am real familiar with the AT). Actually liked it, a lot. was fun. very well equipped, and liked the seats. Had a good cushion tilt angle, even though seats were manual fully. Nice thigh support too. Feature wise, has everything else I need. BLIS/cross path, fully keyfob less entry, sat radio, car play, moonroof, heated seats. So well equipped for the price. Liked the 1.4T engine. Pulled hard, felt every bit as good as the 1.8 version in our Sport.
Not sure how much the AT would suck it down, but I think not much, with the strong torque down low. Excellent MPG ratings too. I really did like the stick better in this than in the GLI for some reason. And the engine was even turning real low at 60, so did not miss 6th gear at all.
So, I was way more impressed than I expected to be. Son and I both just liked it better than the Hyundai (at least base engine version). Even without a plan to pass along to the daughter next summer, I could live with one for 3 years if the price was really right. Plenty useful for trips. Good size.
so sent out a couple of requests for lease #s. Tempting to buy, but would not want to do that on a 2017. So if one of the local guys bites on a sub-$200 lease payment with no DP, would be hard to say no.
Probably should just get something cheap before I talk myself into blowing the budget. Then next year, can start working on upgrading the wife's wheels instead!

Are those horse heads or snails on the hood trim?

I did see a new Tiguan (now a good size) and an Atlas (man, what a barge. Looked like a Tahoe). But tons of cargo room in that baby.

He suggested that I should take the payment savings from the Jetta and put it towards the Subaru loan.
Brilliant! That way, I'd only have to live without a vehicle for about a year, rather than 18 months.

will wait to see if I get a too good to pass up offer this week on a Jetta. If not, can wait until month end and try again. Not like I need a 3rd car here for the next month!
One reason to go cheap cheap cheap of course is a year from now, can start working on the wife to upgrade her car instead. If she gets tired of riding around in a Jetta!

When - or if - I replace it, I'll have to get her to ride along to see if she's comfortable.

So, won't be too bent out of shape if they don't come back with a too good to pass up price. Not sure what supply will be like at the end of the month, but can just as easily wait. And probably will anyway.
