bought nice 2011 Suburban K2500

[gman2304]

Somebody stop me…….
From buying old used vehicles! Rare 2011 Chevy Suburban K2500 LT 3/4 ton 6.0 6L90, clean CARFAX, one owner with 225,000 mostly highway miles as the PO drove 150 mile round trip to work 5 days a week. Mostly used by LEO’s, FBI, Secret Service etc. Runs good and surprisingly rides and drives very good. New tires, brakes, brake master cylinder but needs a new steering stabilizer and possibly a clutch fan. Contrast this behemoth with the recently acquired 2000 Ford Focus wagon beater and an intervention seems to be in order, though my saintly wife is OK with it. Yes it does fit in the garage, but barely.

Looks like a good buy all in all. I like that focus wagon.

You don't need it.....It's too big....and it has the latent smell of smoke and urine. Saved you!.

I would get one of these in a heartbeat. I had a friend with one that passed 400k on basic maintenance and only blew up after not getting an oil change for 30k miles.

Do you need another vehicle?
Looks like a decent example but it would all depend on your needs and budget. Don't buy because of it's condition or ?

As long as you have the space to store everything I say keep buying any great deals that come along! If I had the money and the space I’d probably have 10 or more cars myself

I like it. Good for you if you need it.

If not, gas has been relatively cheap for the past few years but we are past due for a spike to the 5 dollar range.

When you get a green light from TOWMBO you don't waste it.

I'm surprised that lower door trim isn't peeling off by now.

GM still sells the dash carrier, I see it has a cheap overlay done like most GMT900's.

I have the 2008 version. Highway driving really saves that transmission. I have 275,000 miles on it and am the original owner. Watch your oil pressure. I replaced the O ring on the oil pickup tube. It eventually gets brittle. Still have the original water pump and starter.

Nice find @gman2304 looks clean. Should be reliable, thirsty, but reliable. I'd take the MPG hit any day...solid vehicle

Do you by chance have the part #?
