Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Mechanically I believe my Suburban is excellent, but it has a few cosmetic hickeys as shown in the picture. Specifically, there's a ding to the driver's rear corner, a ding in the rear bumper on the passenger side and the driver's seat leather has cracked and has a small tear on the door side (see pictures below). The ABS and brake lights are on on the dash display. A mechanic told me there is an ABS module that is known to go out on these vehicles. We were quoted around $1,300 to fix it, but opted not to because that's an expensive repair for a vehicle this age, and it doesn't affect the operation of the brakes/vehicle.But: this is a one owner vehicle and I have a large stack of maintenance and repair receipts."

Not long after I moved to the United States from Ireland I bought a 1986 VW GTI from a dealership in Northern Virginia. They totally misrepresented the condition of the car and after buying it I figured out they had clearly tampered with the odometer; it also needed some costly repairs within weeks of my driving it off the lot. After my bad experience buying a used car I made a note to myself never to do that to someone else. I've bought and sold several used cars since and I've always represented them honestly, which is exactly what I will do with this Suburban.

This is a one owner vehicle. My wife and I bought it brand new from Carstens Chevrolet in Breckenridge, Texas. There's a picture of the original window sticker provided (new cost was $40,367). I'm not someone who feels the need to drive a different car every two years, I tend to hang onto my vehicles for a long time and take care of them so they take care of me. We are selling our 2001 Suburban after 12 years of loyal service because we've replaced it with a 2011 Suburban LTZ that has a lot more bells and whistles.

I have a large stack of repair and maintenance documentation, though most of it is maintenance rather than repair. Oil was changed regularly every 3,000 miles or so. The spark plugs and ignition cables were replaced (by me) around 120,000 miles. The oil pan gasket and rear main seal were replaced by Nevco in Houston in February 2013 at a cost of $991, so there's a major repair the next owner will not have to worry about. Any potential buyer is welcome to inspect the engine bay and the underside - there are no leaks.

There's three rows of seating; with the exception of the driver's seat (see below) the seats are in good shape. The a/c blows strong and nice and cold. I can honestly say that a significant amount of the miles on this Suburban are highway miles: my in-laws lives in Breckenridge, TX (near Abilene) which is 340 miles one-way from Houston. We go there fairly regularly to visit. I have used a K&N air filter since the vehicle was new because they are far better than the disposable paper filters. This is a 4 wheel drive vehicle. I have both keys and keyless remotes.

The ABS and brake lights are lit on the dash display (see picture). A mechanic told me there is an ABS module that is known to go out on this generation of Suburbans. I was quoted around $1,300 to replace it, but I chose not to because that is a costly repair for a vehicle this age, particularly because there's no effect on the way the Suburban drives or brakes.

This is a 12-year old vehicle, so if you are looking for a 2001 Suburban that is cosmetically perfect, this is probably not the one for you. It has a few minor hickeys, specifically: (a) a ding on the driver's side rear; (b) a ding in the rear bumper on the passenger side (wife backed into a pole outside the vet's); (c) some cracking and a small tear in the door side of the driver's seat; (d) a bald spot in the carpet in the trunk (forgot to put the lid on a bottle of cleaning fluid on the way to the recycling center); and (e) the plastic around the driver's door handle is cracked but the lock works fine (vehicle break-in visiting Seaworld). To me at least none of these are significant flaws; I think for its age this Suburban actually looks really good. It has never been in an accident.

We live in Houston inside the 610 Loop. I'll stick a FOR SALE sign on it while it is parked outside my house, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if I sell it locally. Winning bidder must pay a $250 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction. This vehicle is being sold AS-IS.

Kelley Blue Book values for this year, make, model, mileage, equipment, etcetera are: $4,097 in fair condition, $4,672 in good condition, $4,772 in very good condition and $5,047 in excellent condition. KBB defines fair condition as: 18% of all cars we value meet this criteria. This car has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing, but is still in safe running condition and has a clean title history. The paint, body and/or interior may need professional servicing. The tires may need replacing and there may be some repairable rust damage. KBB defines good condition as: "54% of all cars we value meet this criteria. This car is free of major mechanical problems but may need some reconditioning. Its paint and bodywork may require minor touch-ups, with repairable cosmetic defects, and its engine compartment may have minor leaks. There are minor body scratches or dings and minor interior blemishes, but no rust. The tires match and have 50% or more of tread. It also has a clean title history, with some service records available, and will pass safety and smog inspection."

I think what sets my Suburban apart is that it is a one-owner vehicle that comes with a lot of maintenance documentation. In my opinion when you are buying an older vehicle the mechanical upkeep is a lot more important than minor cosmetic issues. If you have any questions please contact me. For reasons that should be obvious, I will not accept a personal check from the winning bidder. If you want to pay by cashier's check, I may ask you to come to my bank with me to make sure the check is valid before completing the sale, and I will probably want a copy of your I.D. (no offense). I have the title (it's a clear title) and there is no lien.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
