i agree with the crew cab...i, too, would rather have a crew cab silverado, but the price that I've been seeing out there around my area isn't in my price range. and i think that's why i would rather have a Colorado. I found one with 59k miles and it's a 3.5L (i wish they started making a 5.3 in the older models), for $12grand ($11988 to be exact).
I have $4300 saved up and this cash for clunker will be an addition to it, but stil don't want to up my price range. The less payment the better for me.
