Bought a Used 2017 Equinox Premier

2017 Chevrolet Equinox Premier 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

Picked up a very clean, well maintained 2017 Equinox 2.4L AWD Premier in March 2019. Overall, a very nice car. Can't really praise the dash and DIC, but then, most all vehicles today have a lame dash / DIC and controls. It had 35,000 miles on it so I did a round of maintenance on it for good measure. Very easy vehicle to work on. I did the transfer / differential / transmission fluid changes, cleaned the MAF and Throttle Body, and did a intake valve cleaning procedure. Vehicle runs great. Handles our muddy gravel roads where we live very well. Ours is flex fuel capable and E85 has been $.80 to $1 less than regular gas on our area for two years, so all we have put in the Nox thus far is E85. We live more rural, so the acceleration of the 2.4L is more than adequate since we are not trying to go from 0 to 80 in 100 feet on an on ramp. Vehicle DIC showed a life mpg of 25 mpg when we got it. On flex fuel, it has been a combined 21 mpg. But with the low price of E85, that still is cheaper per mile than using regular and getting the better mpg.

I started with the Edmunds site and started to receive information from local dealership. I was able to negotiate via text with a dealership close to work. I stated what I wanted and how much I was willing to pay and got it all done within less then a week.
