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.
Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
