Lease is up

My Dad's lease on his 03' Silverado is soon up and he wants to buy now. He is looking at an 04' Trailblazer: Autotrader Listing
He brought it down to $7,500, good buy? Anyone know of any problems with the Trailblazer?

^ Unless he likes the recycled hard plastic interior in his truck now so much that he wants it again.

There are decent American products out there, and some of the best are GM's. Hell there are a few just released and in the pipe that I like (G8 anyone?)

But he can do better for that money than an 04 Trailblazer.

^ Yikes!

Also, maybe something more fuel efficient? Not sure about your dad, but I know I don't want something that gets 14 mpg right now.

I agree. And why a trailblazer...does he need the room?

Well my dad owns/runs a small business selling paint, he will need it to haul the stuff around. Its his part-time job so he does need the room+power. His full time-job as a machinist is a 20 mile drive. Maybe a 2nd DD would be good for him?

Maybe, however it wont be anything new because the Silverado wasnt much better.

just go for the H2

I would hate to by $80+ fill ups!! (I would really consider a Prius right about now...though I would hate get stuck with that slug when the bubble does burst.)

I definitely think the Acadia is one of GM's best looking vehicles right now.
