Kind of thinking about getting rid of my 07 suburban as my DD with 190k on it i am starting to notice some wear. I was looking the other day at used suvs as i never buy new and noticed how cheap these are for as new as they are a 2011S can be had for about 13k with about 80k on them.
Any feedback? |

Sold my 2004 Turbo last year.
The car hardly aged while I had it. Exterior and interior kept looking good. The seats were comfortable and had good support. Car had great power and good handling. And it can tow everything. The problem I find with this car is that is it's basically a very large sportcar. Very firm suspension (even in softest setting), making it uncomfortable for a family roadtrip. Most people carry all kinds of stuff in their SUV's, which will fly all over when cornering at high speed. So why have a car that invites you to do so? Items that I had to replace were: Aircomprosser for suspension. Replace plastic for aluminum air-intake pipes. Sold it, when hydraulic oil started leaking through a seal in the transmission at around 90K miles. This would have costed me around $3K to have it fixed. The one thing I never liked was the turbo-lag. In traffic situations where a quick responce can make a difference this car was failing. Understand that you are considering an S, and not a Turbo, which might be a bit milder. Good luck. |
