Thanks guys. I believe the Traverse is the Chev/ Acadian equivalent. Both seat up to 7? Both are in short supply, so are car buyers. The 21s will be out soon, so there might be incentives on the 20s.
Trouble is in waiting, the good ones get picked over and white, cloth seat base models remain. Yuck!
The Escape will hit 83,000 kms tomorrow, which is 51+ k miles. My daughter asked why the exhaust smells like gasoline. I told her because the engine can't breathe with a cat and 2 mufflers,
and that the oil when I drain it smells like gas too. The transmission shifts about 4,000 times in 50 miles, even in sport mode.
I want to trade or sell it while it is still running, the dealerships need trades and I'm a preferred customer at GM which is better than employee pricing.
The Traverse/Acadian are slightly bigger. Wet dogs go in the far back.
In 7 years when paid off, the Escape would be over 13 years old, in need of everything including a transmission or two and worth scrap value.
