Used Chevrolet Suburban for Sale

My family has had this vehicle since I was born. It has been a sturdy and reliable vehicle since then- it has run well and has needed relatively few major fixes over the years. It has a great hauling capacity and I feel very safe driving it. My biggest complaint is the terrible gas mileage- it's very expensive to drive due to its age and size.

I bought this car used from a neighbor who hadn't used it in quite a while. It required a lot of work to get it going. Brake lines were a problem as was door hardware. I had a fuel pump go on it early on, and had to replace a leaking radiator after about two years. Also had to replace the blower motor -- it went out in the dead of winter. I've put over 60,000 miles on the car (odometer isn't quite 200,000 yet), and haven't had other difficulties with it. All things considered, I think that's pretty good for a vehicle that's more than 15 years old.

Our Chevrolet Suburban has been a wonderful vehicle for us. We area always on the go - from kids sporting events and practices, to hauling our boat to the beach, bringing dogs to the vets, and generally going on road trips - we do it all in this vehicle. It is comfortable to seat 8 people and still have room for goods in the roomy trunk area. We get fairly good gas mileage for a big SUV, not great, but better than the Ford Expedition we used to have. We live in the Northeast, where we get a lot of snow and ice, and the Suburban has always been great in the snow. My only issue is that it does not sit up as high as our old SUV used to. It seems somewhat lower, almost like a car, and I like being up higher than other cars on the road. It has been very good to us service-wise, and we have not needed anything major done to it, besides replacing the "knock sensors". It does seem to need tires a bit more often that our other vehicles did, but this could be because of where we take and use this, in addition to hauling a camper and/or a boat on a lot of occasions. Otherwise, this is a very decent SUV and provided us with a lot of fun and safe driving.
