Just out of curiosity I see that you sold an '01 Excursion diesel and bought a new gas Suburban. Did problems with the Excursion lead to that decision or was it just time to replace it? (I've been considering a diesel Ex)

Hey, I know what it's like, I roll down the windows in the TDI so I can hear the lovely turbo spool up...

It was time for the Excursion to go, the new Suburban is just so much better. We never had any major problems with it...by all means, get one if you want it...the "straw that broke the camel's back" was one little incident of filling it up with $100 of *ahem*gas*ahem*.....yeah don't ask

It must've been because we never fill up at the pump
It ran fine after getting it all out, but yeah...traded it in three days later...

Ok, I agree it is probably a typo.... However, if it isn't, I think I would rather be driving this from their inventory (for 5 grand less).

Might trade in everything I own and just barely make the down payment !
