im getting a car for highschool and im a freshman. I dont know what car i want but now i want an 06' Suburban. My aunt has an 06 suburban which i like and my uncle has a 98 or so tahoe (bodystyle before the newer one) which is alright. i really like it and think thats what i will stick with because its big, powerfull, kinda sporty, and i just like it. my dad is our car mechanic and fixes and does all the matience hes an engineer for the navy but anywayss. he has an 01' Chevy Silverado 2500HD diesel and is always telling me american cars are junk but he said that tahoe and suburbans and their siblings are but than the average american suv because its made with a truck engine and on that frame so i dont think he will mind. but are they reliable? my grandpa just bought a white 06' suburban and hes said he will sell it to my dad for $15000 and it only has 34,000 miles on it which isn't bad. is this a good car?
yeah i know its somewhat bad on gas but its gets 16-17 in the city and around 19-20 on the highway which i doubt it will ever go on the highway. but gas is really cheap i live in charleston, sc. and the lowest gas price is a dolar thirty six which is cheap i can fill the tahoe up with forty to fifty-five bucks. and my aunts has 132 thousand miles somewhere around there and it has never been in the shop or had any problems. but how much do you think insurance will be on this. but many ppl have told me that their parents said they drive the oldest vehicle. but our oldest vehicle is a 1996 Acura 3.5RL which probally has cheap insurance so than i could put it under my mom or dads name?
oh and im not paying for any of this the car the gas or the insurance or matienece. my parents are but i do have job and probally will pay for gas like every couple weeks. and i have a's and b's in school and this is what they are rewarding me with. i do have my conditional liscene with a time waver because i have a job and im in the marching band sixth in SC WEST ASHLEY HIGH SCHOOL! so yeah i can drive till 12 at night. glad they have conditional so i wouldnt have to wait till i was 16 to get a restricted!
