Here is the replacement for the Safari
« on: December 21, 2008, 02:46:13 PM »
Just to refresh you memory,, my 1997 Safari van was totaled last month. I finally got the "new" Suburban detailed today.







I got this 1996 SLE Suburban with 160k on the clock for less than $4k

Looks good ... Hopefully I will be able to start driving soon and can find such a deal

Thier-

i bought a used Suburban in August of 2007. It's a 2002 so not quite as vintage as yours........... but it's a beast. Great vehicle and the wife loves it...... it's her everyday car.

I looked at everything from the 96 I bought, to up to an '03,, all and all this was in the best condition, and it's amazing what folks are asking for these things,, and no wonder they sit around so long. I had called a dealer about one they had, advertised for $1000 more than KBB "excellent" price, listed as " no haggle easy buying" When I called them to ask if they would be willing to come down to KBB price they said "no it's in great condition and worth the extra money" I pointed out the most it COULD be worth was what KBB listed, they weren't ready to budge,, but wanted me to drive an hr to test drive it :/O

El drives a Grand Caravan everyday,, but says the "burb it too big.
