Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A USED 1997 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. IT WAS IN EXCELLENT-LOOKING SHAPE AND LOW MILES. I HAVE HAD IT NOW FOR 3 YEARS. I HAVE REPEATEDLY HAD TO HAVE IT WORKED ON. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, BATTERY CABLES, AND STARTER; AND HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT TWICE. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE HEATER CORE REPLACED AND THE RADIATOR WORKED ON. I DO NOT DRIVE THAT MUCH, AND I HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED REGULARLY. IT'S ALWAYS NEEDING WORK. I'VE HAD IT FOR SALE FOR A WHILE, BUT CAN'T SELL IT FOR EVEN A SMALL SUM. *AK
