I bought it used about 3 yrs ago and I had to get repairs done but that's expected, it's 15 yrs old. I am quite happy with this car. Very durable A year later after original review,still very happy with the car. It's dependable. Just replaced fuel pump, pricey $800 range (8/23/19) but motor & transmission holding up very well. We do the necessary maintenance. Still very happy with the car 8/29/20 Still happy with car. Engine and transmission still run strong.

Expensive but worth it. Feels safe as a vault, handles like a much smaller vehicle and has performance plus. Wonderful on long trips. Traded a 2002 Escalade AWD in for this one and the 2004 seems much improved. Seems to hold resale value well.

Purchased this SUV in Nov 07 with 80,000 mi. Looks great and engine runs smooth. I am disipointed that I had to rebuild the front diff at 82000 and replace the power steering at 85000. If this continues I will have to trade it in for newer. With 5 kids my choices are limited. My other SUV is a 97 Lexus LX450 with 165000 mi and I have not had to replace or fix anything major. I hope GM will step up the quality and build a truck that will last 200,000mi or I will go back to Toyota products once I don't need 7 seats plus storage.

Never have I seen an SUV with as many practical and functional features as this one. Adjustable pedals, curbside assist mirrors when backing (select both or either one). The ride is by far better than most any luxury car that I have had the opportunity to ride in. You have plenty of "pick-up" when you hit the gas and it cruises and corners like it's on rails. I'm highly satisfied.
