Was in Dallas visiting family, Had $$$ burning in my pocket and was in market for a new DD SUV and wanted to grab something before the "tax time buyers" hit
SO...................................... after looking a several turds AKA junk "auction flips"
Found a LOADED 2001 Suburban 1500 autoride, 2WD 246K miles for $1400 cash, Owner said he needed cash for bills and wife got a new equinox blah blah
I dont like white vehicles but could pass up this deal lol
When I picked it up from owners home I added some seafoam and Mystery oil to flush out whatever oil junk was in it. Already did a fresh OCI using my AAP clearance MS5K 5W30 "Break in" to let old oil mix in and then around April/May it's getting M1 EP 10W30 for hot southern summer months !!!
Has new LT BF goodrich tires, Sunroof, Rear DVD system, G80, GT4, stupid rare Z55 chassis(Same as Escalade ESV/Denali XL)
Aside from a few stain on carpet and a funny mildew smell. interior is nice !!! Driver seat is 8 out of 10 !!! No metal visible in seat frame lol
"My half glass full" side still wondering if this was a SCORE or a "Flop" ??
