Anyone need a good tow vehicle/kid cruiser?
Okay this used to be my Dad's work truck/family road trip hauler and now his company has bought him a more gas-friendly Fusion so this tank has gotta go. I know this probaly won't get a hit but I figured I'd throw it up here and if nothing happened by sunday we'd just take it to carmax to get it out of the driveway.
Details: 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 with the Tow package and Autoride
0 accidents
1 owner
173,362 miles
Burgandy/Red ish exterior with dark grey interior
Cruise control
Heated front seats. Seriously these things heat up in about a minute and they're hot.
Captain's chairs in the 2nd row with a 3rd row bench. Both 2nd and 3rd rows fold down flat
All weather mats+carpeted ones, trunk tray and cover, cargo net so **** doesn't fly around
CD and casette player plus voice activated On-star. Still works actually
Fog-lights
Sunroof
I think it's a 5.7 litre Vortech V8 all scheduled service was done before it was called for. My Dad is really particular about his cars, everything has to be done by the dealer, before it's supposed to be done. About a year ago she got a new A/C compressor and power steering pump and that is the only non-scheduled maintenance she's had. Brakes were recently done along with trans and diff services, new tires and drivers side mirror glass.
Currently I'm driving this car while waiting for the other to arrive and I actually kinda like it. Big, comfy, cruiser with blazing hot heat and a decent sound system for what it is. I know this won't appeal to alot of people but if you're looking for a cheap, really well maintained tow vehicle for the racecar or a car for family road trips then this should suffice just fine. Tow package for extra torque when hauling and the trailer hitch thing and Autoride suspension that levels the car out when she's weighed down.
Negatives?
It's actually kinda funny but the day after my Dad bought this thing he got hit by a rock in the windshield and it cracked it, and he made a note of the day and milage (60 to be exact) and in 173,300 miles the crack has stayed the same. Really small and out of line of sight.
Bumper got snagged on the garage door by my Mom on the only time she ever drove it haha it can easily be removed and bent back but he didn't care that much.
Trunk has a scratch on it from the garage door
Fog light fell out, dunno why but we still got it and she'll come with the car
Volume **** broke on the radio, like the little plastic thing that goes over it. Still works fine though. I'll have a new one tomorrrow. And a lightbulb behind the radio went out too.
Overall it's a good car from a time when Chevy wasn't making pieces of **** for cars. This car has been to Atlanta 6 times, Indy 10+ times, 6 hours north of the border and back 2 times, Hilton Head, SC 3 times, Texas 2 times, Minneapolis 10+ times.
I'm forgetting stuff but whatev. If you're interested shoot me a call/text at 630-220-5489 name's Ryan I'm up all night doing homework anyways and I can answer any Q's you might have.
Price: $9,000OBO it's what Kbb says for good condition so it's where I'm gonna start, but anything other than the $5,000 carmax offered is good for me.
PICS
