Re: I know this may be stupid by i think im addicted!
I'll assume the new Torq Thrusts, grille, emblems, mirros and headlights weren't on it under the hay? Lol. So add the cost of those to the "cost" of the trade.
My only question is what is the Tahoe's current market value in your area? I'm assuming not all that much. Out here in SoCal, the five window '50 - IF its all there, running and relatively solid - is worth maybe $5,000 to as much as $7000 |

Re: I know this may be stupid by i think im addicted!
At your speed you will need something to work on next week!
It is proven I have E C disorder so if you ask me you can never have too many AD trucks. The next one you can change a few things that you did not do on the first one and you will like even more when it is finished. Good point on what the Tahoe will be worth in 5 years and the worth of your AD's in 5 years
