R96IMP Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 About 3 weeks ago the gas prices went to the highest I have seen.It cost 83.00 to fill up the SSS.Ouch!!! We decided that was the last straw.My wife has had several spinal surgeries and has limited mobility,and getting in and out of the truck was very difficult.Even with step-bars,it could not be done without her pulling her back and discomfort.It was time for a change. 1)we needed a vehicle that was easier for her to get in and out of with GOOD seating. 2)We needed something GM that I could use my GM emoloyee price on and not be a s%^&box 3)We needed something that was good on gas as we both travel long distances to our separate obligations through the week. We searched around our local stealers and found 2 Buicks to her liking,1 a Lucerne,the other a Lacrosse. She settled on the Lacrosse and we set up a deal. The best part is now.The Lacrosse was 32,000 before rebates and is FULLY LOADED incl.sunroof.my cost was 28,900+tax.They (after some haggling)and I walked out once,traded EVEN for the truck,including tax and 6/100 warranty. 30 mpg,the wife is comfortable and happy and I still got my Impala SS and my daily Silverado LS.

.justin. Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Congrats on getting what sounds like a good deal... But gas prices are going up for you?? They're about 60 cents off the highest I've seen them, with most stations around here around 3-3.10 for premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
