Parentnoia Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 The wifey and I are looking for a new vehicle to replace the one that decided to take a huge dump on us in February. So far the best one (in our opinions) we've found is this: http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/2916722944.html. And I was wondering what the folks of SMD think I should expect in terms of fixing the pre-existing problems and what problems we may have in the future.

Sheena Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) well if you cant fix the A/C by yourself, hundreds of dollars right there in labor. possibly could need oil changed tranny flushed and oil changed oil filters/air filter. really you'd have to inspect it with a fine tooth comb before purchasing and really seeing what the owner is hiding.

Parentnoia Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well on the AC/Heater, uncle quoted me around $600 in just labor but still need to run that by the wifey. As for oil change, already planned on doing that regardless. Same with air filter. Why the tranny flush? Is there something I dont know? Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet.

Sheena Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 idk, i'd want to do a full refresh on a used vehicle, thats just me. you'd have to see for yourself if its shifting smoothly. but i'd redo everything just in case.

Parentnoia Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well right now it's a hard enough to get the wifey to agree to any vehicle I run across, so worrying about tranny flush isnt something I'd bring up immediately. And I'm to make sure I have as much information available priior to talking to the seller since the seller is about an hour's drive away. Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet.

Sheena Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 give this a read http://autos.msn.com/research/userreviews/reviewlist.aspx?modelid=846 help answer some of your questions while you wait for answers here. i will warn you though.. if you go looking for issues with ANYTHING in the world, you will find them.. its really vehicle dependent, so you'd really have to give this truck a once over before making a move.

Parentnoia Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well if it was exclusively my decision, the lack of AC/heater doesnt bother me in the slightest. It's family that's worried about it. Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah." For example, if you hate me you can e-tah dick.

Parentnoia Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Well, the wifey said to go ahead and contact them, even after telling her the quote on the AC/heater, so wish me luck on everything going smoothly.
