I purchased this vehicle from a friend who had purchased it new.It has been serviced beyond the "book" by the first owner and by me ( I have documentation for service, repairs and upgrades). The drive train and the 5.3 motor in particular have been around for a while and many have been driven several hundred thousand miles. It has plenty of power and gets respectable fuel mileage (average 18 mpg overall with highway mileage exceeding 20 mpg), particularly for a 5000 pound SUV. This car is in superb mechanical condition as it has had much attention given to service and repairs. It has a couple of upgrades not usually found on this model Rainier. During the past two years, in addition to regular maintenance, I have replaced a number of items that wear out over time. Replacements include water pump, fan clutch, battery, shocks and struts (new Monroe Sensatrac), Michelin LTX M/S tires (roughly 11,000 on new tires) and finally a new A/C compressor. It has many options including PS, PB, power leather seats with memory, power moon roof, factory towing hitch and self leveling air bags.It does not have factory navigation, however, the hard-wired Tom Tom GPS unit goes with the vehicle and additionally, it has a new Poineer touch screen radio/cd player which is also a screen for a back up camera. The glove box includes a USB plug for an Ipod/MP3/whatever.
This has been used by me as a daily driver for the past two years and has provided reliable and safe transportation ( the first owner was an old man and I am older). The vast majority of the mileage has been highway and interstate. It still looks very good with minimal blemishes from doors, etc. There is a single dent near the roof line over the rear passenger side door (see photo) caused by a falling tree limb in one of the winter storms several years ago.Everything works as it should and it is a very comfortable trip companion and will make someone a good family car.
I take pride in being forthright and in treating folks the way that I want to be treated. Having that said, It is almost certain that I will have left out something important, so please feel free to call with any questions and to take a test ride if practical for you. Call Phil at 804-895-1936. It is for sale locally. Last thought. I forgot to include a photo of the rear cargo area. It is immaculate and has a cover. Email if you would like a photo.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
