My wife and I were in a predicament as we just found out we were expecting our 3rd child. A 3rd child means that my hatchback Elantra is no longer feasible. My wife’s Highlander would continue to meet our needs, but isn’t optimal. We also need a vehicle that can tow a 19ft boat, which the Highlander can do.
We decided to sell my Elantra, and purchase my wife a Grand Caravan, and I’d drive the Highlander. I started a thread here about the Grand Caravans.
We put the Elantra up for sale and in two months we had 2 inquiries. No one was interested in a 6 speed and I wasn’t willing to simply give it away…
A few months ago my 100 yr old, Purple Heart recipient, grandfather and his wife passed any within 4 days of each other. A movie could be made about this man. He was truly special.
With his passing, my father inherited his 2005 Suburban LT 4x4 that was purchased new.
My father wanted to keep it and that was the plan.
I called him the night before we were going to travel three states over to purchase my wife the Grand Caravan and he told me that he decided to sell me the Suburban. With one income and another child on the way, he didn’t want us to carry a car payment, it was safe for the kids, and he knew it would tow our boat with ease.
So here it is. 2005 Suburban 4x4 LT, leather, sun roof, bench seats, Dvd system, trailer package. 67k miles. It was a new trans due to a failure with the trans cooler/radiator, and new tires. The truck still smells like my grandfather…
It has a few small dents, the tach doesn't work, but is overall in excellent condition. We’re VERY fortunate!
We sold the Highlander for what we paid for it 40k miles ago. I'll drive the Elantra to and from work.
