how come used TBs are so damn much? i;ve been seeing 2003's for $22k-$24k. Hell you can get a new one for that or most likely less. Like i said earlier, a local dealer has an LS 2x4 for $19,5xx.

I love my 04 TB. If you compare the ride to a Ford Explorer you find that is not as bumpy, I had to make sure it was a smooth ride because my son gets car sick (has not got sick yet). It rides extremely nice and if you are transitioning from a car like I did the pot holes this time of year are not as noticeable. I was a bit reluctant to buy a North American SUV and I thought that I would not like the TB, but I had a choice between a mini van and the TB because my family requires the additional space when we travel, I am really glad I picked the TB. I went skiing today and the four wheel drive helped with the icy road conditions. My 93 Maxima was nice, but I'm getting over not having it anymore. My TB was $26k Canadian and it was a year old, I paid $4,000.00 for the extended GM warranty, I am a bit hesitant on North American vehicles and this insurance policy lets me sleep at night. The sales person tried to talk me out of buying the extended coverage, but I like to know that I won't be in for any big repair bill for the next five years, especially if I got the luck of the draw and this turns out to be a lemon. It took me 7 months to find a black extended with low mileage. Good luck in your search...
