Used Chevrolet Equinox for Sale in Detroit, MI

This car is not what I expected and I regret the purchase. It came fully loaded which is nice, the options are really top notch on it, like a luxury car. But the cons are many so for that reason I am looking forward to changing it up again and going with a different car. I have always liked the Chevrolet brand but this is making me rethink going with them again.

The interior build quality of the Equinox is decent. There aren't any noticeable rattles or broken pieces on the interior. The cup holders are the flimsy kind that pop out of the center console, but even those remain unbroken after 160,000 miles. The rear seat is especially nice, as in addition to folding down it also slides forward and back a few inches, as well as reclines a couple of inches. This makes it nice for rear passenger comfort, as well as maximizing cargo space in the back. The exterior is a little worse but still OK. A few rust spots are developing and the paint is bubbling up a little on the back hatch. There's been an annoying squeak for a long time now while driving that nobody can seem to diagnose, but it's not too awful and gets drown out by the radio easily. We recently had a drive shaft issue, and on this particular car GM used a carrier bearing assembly instead of normal u-joints, so instead of a $15 fix in the driveway it becomes an $800 repair at a shop. A few little issues like this make ownership more expensive than it should be for no real benefit.
