Hi ebayers! So the registration is about to come due on "old Sue," the Suburban we've carted our three retired racing greyounds around in for the past few years. We're recently down to two dogs, so instead of paying it, we thought someone else out there might enjoy her for awhile and we'll get something smaller. Don't let her size fool you, now ... being a Z71 model with the trick 305 engine, she's a feisty old gal who has no problem hauling her rather ample ass down the road in quick order. Seriously, a Suburban that's actually fun to drive ... who knew? Anyway, look at the zillion pics and then I'll tell you her story at the end of the pics. Check out the clean carfax summary in the ebay hosted pics. It tells a good story, but here it is in a nutshell. It was in the GM factory executive program from new in 2001 to 2004, when the gentleman I bought it from purchased it. He owned it til Nov. 1 2013, when I bought it from him, making me the third owner. The carfax says the 3rd owner came in 2014, but that's just because I neglected for several months to turn in the rest of the docs needed to complete the transfer. Anyway, the truth is I looked long and hard for this rig. Like three months long. Usually Suburbans are family haulers, so by the time they get to this age they're trashed and embarrassing to be seen in. I knew when I met the guy who sold it to me that I'd take the SUV regardless of it's two little issues. He was a meticulous man in dress and deed, and the truck showed it. The fact that he owned an retail oil company and had continued the first owners obsession with Mobile 1 was the clincher. The two little things I mentioned were the peeling clearcoat on the hood (only, the rest of the paint is perfect) and the small double crease in the back right corner. The truck was a dozen years old when I bought it and those were things I could live with. There are a few more things that I've learned to live with, too, the first being a defunct gas gauge. It's only a few hundred dollars to fix, but my admittedly cheap solution is to reset the trip odometer to zero and fill it up. It will go 420 miles on a tank, so I just fill it up anywhere from 200-300 miles and I've never, ever had a problem. Also, the ABS and E-brake lights on the dash stay on all the time. When I took it in to the dealership, they said that both systems were working fine, but they weren't able to get the lights to stay off. So they're still on a year later and I simply ignore them. Finally, the truck is hard to keep aligned. No clue why, and the guy I bought it from said he finally gave up and just bought tires more often. I've actually only had to align it once and haven't had to put on any tires. It comes with a file an inch thick with all the repairs and maintenance done by the previous owner and myself. If you're thinking about flying in to Palm Springs and driving home, that's great but I'd definitely have the fluids, belts, etc. checked and or changed first. I can recommend a great mechanic. Any questions, just ask through the ebay messaging system and I'll answer the best I can. If you'd like to talk by phone, shoot me a note with your number and I'll call. Thanks! I CAN EMAIL FULL CARFAX REPORT, JUST SHOOT ME A MESSAGE THROUGH EBAY SYSTEM.
