[QUOTE="TBuck07, post: 14725278, member: 122491"] Hey guys, I posted about those using the 2015 GT as a daily driver not long ago, and am pretty sold on buying a '15 GT PP soon. Here is my situation. [LIST] [*]My '06 Grand Prix GT is paid off. I can sell this to use as a down payment ($6,000 +/-, plus another couple grand) I'm estimating my payment to be somewhere around $380-$410. [*]I live in Illinois. Winters are inconsistent. Most of the time snow is plowed off the roads fairly quickly, so getting a pair of true winter tires might not be a great idea. (I've heard driving these on dry pavement really wears down the tread quickly.) Perhaps some all season tires and stock rims could suffice, with the select driving mode for any occasions that I do have to drive in snow. [*]I've toyed around with the idea of getting another Terminator. However, the payment would be $320-$400 depending on what I get, seeing as I'd only have a couple grand to throw on that, and would keep the Grand Prix as a daily. Interest rates are higher on older cars, of course. [/LIST] I really just can't make up my mind on what would be best. The Grand Prix is running strong, and I'm sure has a number of years left in it. I had a Mustang as a DD before, but it was a '97. I enjoyed it, just really, really blew in the winter..But Fuzion tires and no traction control sucked. The car might go to the track once a year, and I hardly beat on my cars much. I wasn't very hard on my Terminator. I guess my main decision is do I want an aging DD and a car I can beat up on, or a brand new car I can drive everyday and hit the track in once in a while. I know this is a vague question...but thoughts? [/QUOTE]
