Should I buy a trailblazer ss?
So I'm looking at a 2006 trailblazer ss. It's awd, fully loaded and black. Has 82000kms on it. Dealer is asking 21000 to start. Does this sound like a good deal? Let's say I can squeeze 1500 to 3000 off the staring price, would that be a good deal?
Now I've got a 2008 sedan sport, black, 41000kms and I've got 2 years and 11 months left owing on it at 0% at about 350 a month. The dealer looks like they will give me between 10000 and 11000 for a trade, still means I'll have to eat between 1500 and 2000 off the car. Does the trailblazer taking into account my trade in still seem like a deal?
I guess I want to know cause I've always loved those ss and having an suv and awd not to mention loads of power would be sweet. I just don't want to do something I might regret later on. Thanks for any help and insight you have.

I just recently traded in my 2009 SS on a 2006 Trailblazer SS. 3SS package, every option that was possible from the factory with 55000 Miles on the ODO. Picked it up for 20500, which in my opinion was a good deal.
I couldn't be happier, the interior of the TB is SO much better then the Cobalts was, it's just as fast as a stock SS/TC and with a few mods it has great power.
The only thing that sucks is the fact that I only get 12 MPG
Heres mine:

Here Ill give you a straight answer.
No.
If you need a bigger vehicle to pull stuff or get through the snow buy a truck.
If you want to go fast and have performance buy a sports car, muscle car, sport compact etc etc
I know a lot of people on this site really like The TBSS but I can't stand them, same with any of those high power SUVs like the Cayenne, X6M, Hemi Durango, etc etc

I also love the srt-8's but those guys are a little more up in canada to the tune of 25000 to 40000 used so that is out of my ballpark. A ford lighting would be very nice but a reg cab/2wd is a no go during the winter up here. I'm heading over to the dealer in a couple hours so I'll see where things go.

I have an SS cobalt and a loaded Envoy SLT I6 4X4 (family vehicle, same thing as TB), and I love the Envoy in the winter and the cobalt in the summer. I live in the Edmonton area like you so I know what it's like for winter. That being said I have thought about upgrading the Envoy to the TBSS but I'm not sure I would like an SUV without true 4X4 with 20 tires and that much extra power (mine is auto 4 and 4X4 on I6). That and fuel economy would be my main concerns. If that doesn't bother you then go for it.
