Replying to: KarenS (Feb 20, 2002 10:54 am) I purchased this beauty in 2004 and have used it mostly on stop and go traffic on I-5 in the Portland area to go to work and for driving up to Seattle a mear 3 times! As I mentioned I have a 6 month old and even though I can turn off the side airbag I'm looking at selling my trusty truck in order to afford a more fuel efficient and family friendly vehicle before the summer fuel prices kick in If your interested in pictures and other information just send me an email. Of course it may take a day or two to respond with my hands full w/ the new son!! Thanks! Jondell |

I bought almost 3 months ago with 88000 miles. It is a 4.3L V6 ext cab with auto and 2WD. It is my 3rd GM truck. I bought a 4 cyl 2000 S10 that I traded for a "01 Silverado that I also still have. I have only put 3k,5k, and 19k on the 3 trucks so I have never had anything wear out or break. The 4 cyl auto S10 was used for 10 mile drive to work and I probably should have kept it. I spent $14k more to trade it for a Silverado Ext cab. I call it the $14000 back seat. The silverado gets 3 mpg less than the 4 cyl did. The '01 Silverado had a career change when my commute went up by 36 miles, each way. It started sitting around a lot and still does. I had the '99 Sonoma offered to me for very good price, $2500. I decided to get it for my 14 year old. I'll use it in the mean time but 3 things have changed since I got it. My older son has started to drive it instead of his Mustang. To my suprise the Sonoma got 26 mpg on the trip back to midwest from Fla, where I got it. The 3rd thing is I fixed the a/c by just charging it. Then it continued to suprise by getting 25 mpg in local driving. It is my 3rd GM with a 4.3L V6, but the other ones get 22 and 23 on trips and high teens local. My friend with a 2000 Grand Am 4 cyl gets the same 26 mpg hwy as the Sonoma. I have 184k miles on the oldest of my 3 4.3L GM's. It is next in line to get rid of but I have not had to do much to it. I expect to get a relatively trouble free next 100,000 miles from the Sonoma. The Sonoma, being from S. fla has not been in salt and was undercoated when new. The undercarriage is nearly rust free. I have gone through it and fixed a few things in it (like charging the a/c and new front brake pads), and the only 2 things left are the alignment and the instrument backlighting. |
