Overall these are solid dependable vehicles, this is our 3rd one. We had a 1978 and a 1982. If you buy one with around 90k, expect to do about $3500 in maintenance, as a handful of expensive repairs will be needed between 90k and 120k. I bought mine with about 135k and all those things had been done at the dealership.

When we first purchased the car about 3 years ago, it kept breaking down, we had to put a whole new engine in it, new fuel pump, new tires, and a few other things needed to be fixed. The AC does not work, it sucks with the leather seats during summer. BUT!! This car is awesome, once everything was fixed up, all was well. It's been running great! Sounds like a beast. I am a girl so we're Beauty and the Beast together!! Even with all of these problems it's very convienent. With the horrible gas mileage I just ask the other 8 passengers to pitch in for gas. It's a great road trip car! I love it.

I bought this vehicle new in SEP '98 and 123,000 miles later, still runs strong. Being military and family of six, I needed a tough vehicle. Been through deserts of South West at 116 degrees to Yukon and Alaska at -27 degrees. Yep, the rear view temp reads negative. Always ran with Mobil1 Syn oil. I love my GMC but three fuel pumps (out at 30K miles each), three batteries (broken at terminal), ate brakes pads, warped front rotors (solved with Power slots), broken door handle, glove box lid, cooling hoses at 90K miles, T-Box at 65K, steering mechanism at 102K, barn door handle x 2, seat heater died...leaks sometime but from where? We love this truck. Will repair/upgrade and keep.
Solid like a Rock!

I've put over 200K miles on my Burb and she still looks and drives like new. For 9 months I commuted weekly from Denver CO to Austin TX (950 miles) and with a 44 gallon tank I didn't have to stop for gas! That's 25mpg hwy, city is only 13.5 mpg but I have a lead foot. I change my oil every 6K and use Castrol Syntec Synthetic Blend. Every 5th oil change I add Engine Restore and replace the serpentine belt, fuel filter and front brakes. All other fluids get changed every 90K along with spark plugs(bosch platinum),wires, cap, rotor, O2 sensors, rear brakes and fuel pump. I upgraded the fuel injectors at 205K and rebuilt the rear end. Replaced water pump, power steering EGR valve & shocks(KYB)at 120K.
