#4 of 13 Trading '95 Suburban for '06 Suburban by sbatncpl Jan 26, 2009 (6:37 pm)
95 is an LT w/ cd, cst, 4x4, etc. with 95,000 original miles. I've owned it since it was new. Reasonably good condition new a/c, starter, alternator, belts, hoses, plugs, wires, brakes etc. I can get a newer '06 Suburban for $21k w/ 34k miles. Book on 95 is just over $3k and '06 is tmv $21. '95 running well, but now may be the time to deal. No current problems w/ '95 so far and I'd rather not inherit any problems if I get an '06. GMPP 60 mo warranty is just under $4k. Should I keep the '95 or go for the 06. The more I think about it, the happier I am with my '95 that the kids and I call "The Queen Mary."

Replying to: sbatncpl (Jan 26, 2009 6:37 pm) Your '95 is from time when they still knew how to make them!!!!!! Paying $21000 for a '06 with 34 000 miles IS WAY TOO MUCH!!!!!! You can get '08 with only 10 000 - 15 000 miles for about $25 000.   But if you like your '95 why spend money for a newer one? If you care to read this forum under all topics you might not want to buy a newer one anyway.   Like I said "The Queen Mary" could be far better, and in all honesty I believe it is much better quality vehicle that the newer ones. And don't even think spending money for any kind of GM extended warranty. They don't fix their vehicles under the factory 3 year 36 000 miles warranty either. Why would they do it under extended one?   My advice to you is simply keep what you have. The worst case for you is that the engine and tranny go out. Well, have not seen many posts of tranny or engine going out in your vintage car. Have seen many trannys go out on very late models. Engines not but then there is this coolant leaking inside the engine problem.   You can put a new engine in your car for about $ 3000 depending who does it. Tranny cost about the same or less. Worst case you talk about $ 5000 - $6000 investment on your vehicle.   BUT, you only have 95 000 miles. Your engine is less than half way for normal wear and tear. Of course sh.. happens but when US car makers used to know how to make an engine it would go 1/4 million miles without problems if you change oil at required frequency. And guess what, the new ones do not give you any better gas mileage either.   Just keep what you have and fix it when it needs it. For the engine I think you are just fine and I would not worry about tranny either. Just change the transmission fluid as you are at 100 000 miles. Next thing to go probably is the drive shaft, which cost less than $150 to fix at the dealer.   Arrie

Should I keep the '95 or go for the 06. ____________________________________________________________________ Keep the '95....it is a much better built vehicle, especially the engine and tranny. And that $4K for a GM warranty is outrageous. You can get a good indie aftermarket warranty that covers everything you need for around $1500 for 50K miles/5 years. But again I say....keep your '95. It should be good for at least another 100K miles.
