Not only is the Chevrolet Suburban the most pure niche vehicle in the sport utility/van/minivan spectrum, you might say it's the only one of its kind. (Please note that the GMC Suburban is the same vehicle marketed under a different name.) While essentially a people carrier, the Suburban has body-on-frame construction and other pickup characteristics that help distinguish it from the popular minivans or big traditional vans. Sure, this vehicle is meant to haul people and cargo, but it's also meant to pull with pep - boats, trailers campers, snowmobiles, trail bikes and just about anything else you can imagine. Our Chevy Suburban K2500 (the K denotes 4WD; the 2500 means it's a 3/4-ton vehicle) had a base price of $22,417. We added the Silverado trim level and options including front/ rear air conditioning, tinted glass, power assists and more, and the price zoomed to $32,507. That's substantial. But keep in mind that completely equipped versions of the smaller Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ford Explorer go for about 30 000. Then consider that the Suburban is an eight- or nine-passenger, off-road vehicle with serious towing potential, and the price doesn't seem so far out of line.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1994 Chevrolet Suburban 2500, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 1994 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 for less money than when it was new. If the 1994 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 1994 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 1994 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 1994 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
