I've lurked here on and off for a couple years, and I've just bought my second 8th Gen.
I ran a '10 LT (Fleet) for 215K miles with NO issues, and was headed confidently into another winter with new plugs, wires, brakes, etc, and then I learned that the Fleet model had ended production in May.
I joined to learn about possible issues I may encounter as miles go by, but outside of a leaking power steering line at the hard tube to hose junction, it was problem free, aside from the usual stuff that wears. Oh, and a gas tank evap unit that took a crap.
I thought 'Man, If I wait, I won't find a low miles one, and I want the new drivetrain!'
I found a Certified black on black '16 LTZ with everything but a moonroof for $20K, with 14K miles, clear Carfax, and dead mint.
The 'should I or shouldn't I' didn't last long. I didn't even look back at the '10.
I put the B pillar Impala emblems I got on Ebay for the '10 on the '16, and I had an SS emblem for another project that I put inboard from the 'Limited' emblem on the trunk, just to make people wonder.
It's a commuter, and outside of a catch can, I think that's gonna be about it for 'mods'.
Or so I say now.
