I have an 01 Sport 4X4 with 90k miles. I live in northen Michigan. It runs great and I really like it.

Currently a lot of GC 04's are coming off leases. I am seeing a lot of them priced around $15k with usually just over 40k miles.

I am thinking of picking one of those up to replace the current model. Any thoughts about that vintage? Am I better off with the small v-8 all around? What kind of mpg can I expect for the small 8 or the 4.0?

Appreciate anyone's thoughts. Thanks.
