25k to spend on used SUV... you pick?

capo,

i'm a huge fan of the older tahoe look, as well... i'm talkin like, the 98ish body style. but if you're looking at newer tahoe vs yukon denali, here goes:

dont buy a denali, unless you can get a bomb ass deal on one. they're not worth the extra tens of thousands that chevy wants for the "denali" name. and, from what i know of these vehicles, that's absolutely what you're paying for. the nameplates and the grille.

if i were to go this route - and trust me, i'd love to, once i find some money [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] - i'd buy a 2003ish tahoe w/leather and as many options as you want/can find used, and then spend the $10k i saved from not buying a denali to get my rims, my sound, etc. oh, and there's a very good chance that i'd buy the yukon denali nameplates and put them on the ride... either that, or just shave all the decals.

my thoughts.

I'm totally there with the shaving decals. I really like that look. Of course the custom grille goes without saying.

2000 Tahoe:

Honda Accord Hybrid is your ONLY option.

BTW theres no point in getting an SUV. They are a pain in the ass to drive, they are gas hogs, they are slow lumbering high maintenance crap mounds. The only advantage is you can crush smaller cars should you get in a wreck.

Able to take on any SUV in a crash, roomy, and I'll bet you can find a used one for a song.
