I purchased my Suburban from an online car dealer. It was a northern car, having said that, I live in the south. When the car was in my possession, I did a thorough walk through and sit down of the car. It was awesome and had all the feature I was looking for. The heated seat is an odd combination for living in the south, but I do enjoy having my back heated. Also, I have a big family, not a ton of kids, but my daughter is 13 and stands 5'8", so the extra room helps her. It had fewer miles on it than a southern car in the same price range, which was a plus. I like the sunroof, although it should be called a moon roof like newer cars state.

I have owned my 1995 Chevrolet Suburban seventeen years. I purchased it used in 2002, and it had 130,000 miles on it. I love my Suburban because it can haul nearly anything. If it doesn't fit inside, it can go on the roof! I work construction/home remodeling, and my Suburban has hauled just about everything you can imagine. It is truly an all-purpose vehicle for work, play, camping, carrying family, helping with family moves or even pulling a trailer when needed. The gas mileage is about what you would expect, not the best, but that is the only trade off. Mechanically, the Suburban is a beast of durability and reliability. Seventeen years later and approaching 300,000 miles, it has never let me down. I perform normal maintenance of changing the oil and filters, replace tires, replace brake pads as needed, hoses and serpentine belt too. The dependability and durability has far out weighed the maintenance on this vehicle. The only negative I can say is that the paint has faded. That is to be expected of a vehicle this age, but the hood has faded far more than the rest of the body. All in all, I would definitely purchase this vehicle again and fully expect to still have it when the odometer reaches 600,000 miles.
