Once known as the Texas Cadillac, the Suburban has broadened its appeal far beyond the borders of the Lone Star State. For many families who don?t want minivans, the Suburban, sold by General Motors? Chevrolet and GMC Truck divisions, has become the status-symbol station wagon of the 90?s. The Suburban is equally as popular with retirees who tow trailers to warm winter climates. And it is ideal for commercial use by contractors and utility companies. Based on GM?s full-size C/K pickup, the Suburban stands alone in its size class. Chevrolet and GMC count the Toyota Land Cruiser and full-size vans from Ford and Dodge as rivals, but the Suburban truly has no direct competitors in the full-size 4-door sport/utility niche it has carved for itself. The Suburban is high: more than 18 ft. long with seating for up to nine people and towing capacity up to 10,000 lb.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1997 Chevrolet Suburban 1500, 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 1997 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 for less money than when it was new. If the 1997 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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 1997 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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 1997 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 1997 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
