Plus an older vehicle with more miles is going to have more wear and tear that will need to be maintained... I understand not wanting to put the wear on the Camaro, and for $2,000 you're in a good spot, but don't be surprised if the new DD becomes a money pit.
I should have maybe added that at this point I'm not too worried about the economical aspect as I am worried about saving the Camaro from the gravel road and all the miles. And luckily, my boyfriend is a mechanic and can fix any serious issues the Blazer may have for next to nothing! The gas mileage in the Blazer might suck, but that's the price I pay to have a Camaro, I guess! I'll be driving the Blazer about 4 days a week and the Camaro the other 3.
