Used Chevrolet Equinox for Sale in Sanford, ME

I've owned numerous vehicles, most of them GM, but I have to say the 2015 Equinox has been a pleasure to own. It now has 33,000 miles, has no visible wear and tear, tires show little wear, and the interior still has a "new car" smell and feel to it. This vehicle has been regularly serviced and all PM schedules are done, so I'm feeling it will be satisfactory for many miles to come. The gas mileage is far better than I expected, although my driving habits may factor into mpg somewhat. We have made several trips to Florida, and I find the comfort level is very good—even on extended trips. As a home utility vehicle, it has hauled countless loads of remodeling supplies from Lowe's and Home Depot—some quite heavy, and handles excess weight just fine. As a sport utility vehicle, the trunk easily handles two full sets of golf clubs, clothing and shoes with rear seats still in upright position. With seats in folded position, it can accommodate two sets of clubs and accessories + travel or overnight bags, ice cooler, etc. The sound system is great in that I can toggle the steering wheel to FM/XM/CD or iPod on USB without looking away from the road. Backup camera is nice feature as well. Heated seats are welcome in winter!

I like that the car is roomy inside, big enough for all 4 of my kids to fit comfortably. The overall look of the vehicle is very appeasing. There is a feature that allows the back seat to slide forward or backwards about 12 inches for either more trunk space or more leg room. The power of the vehicle is good and efficient as well as the handling. It feels quite safe to drive. I also love that is an AWD but still gets decent gas mileage for the type and year of vehicle. The interior is a bit unusual in that the front seat drink holder (while in use) collides with the emergency brake if engaged. Interior is not very durable and cosmetic features have broken easily. The entire top end of the engine needed to be replaced due to the orange coolant used in the system. This was considered a factory default in which many of these vehicles suffered blown head gaskets, among other issues within the cooling system. The transmission had to be replaced at 74,000 miles. Many other mechanical issues continued to arise after the 75,000 mile point. I have almost replaced everything under the hood including the computer on this vehicle.
