Would it be stupid of me to sell my 02 Envoy and buy an older Tahoe/Yukon with the money? I know the Envoy runs and drives fine, and any used vehicle would be a total crapshoot, so part of me thinks this is a bad idea, but on the other hand, the Envoy could break down at any time too, and then it would be worth nothing (if engine or trans went out).
I just have a soft spot in my heart for GMT400s as that was my first vehicle. I regret selling my 96 Yukon when the tranny died instead of getting it fixed. I really loved that truck. I like the Envoy, but I don't love it.
I don't doubt that the Envoy is a more modern design, and the highway mileage of the Envoy is definitely better. (though around town the Envoy does suck as much as a GMT400). While it handles far better than a GMT400, I find it hard to park due to its odd shape and blind spots.
On the other hand, I really like the boxy shape of the GMT400 SUVs, and I much prefer column shifters over console shifters. I mention this a lot because it's important to me - nobody else understands.
I guess, I don't have a specific QUESTION here, I just want to get other people's input on whether or not I'm stupid for wanting to do this.
