I'd be irritated if someone described something as rust free only to find that there was in fact rust on the rockers or the fenders or something. To me, rust free should be rust free regardless if it's on the body, frame, whatever....If it's a rust free body but there's some surface rust on the frame then just say so. If it's "mostly rust free" but there is some rust on the rockers then describe it that way but don't go around saying rust free when it's not. That's just irritating and would probably irritate me enough to make me walk away unless a killer deal is made.

/rant LOL

I have walked, made it known and was disappointed!

Shook pretty good when driving too! But in less than 2 years there won't be much of the rockers left. The rest of the body looked good. A little forming on the inside of a few of the doors too. Definitely not rust free

Definitely over priced then. Wouldn't spend more than 2500 on it. Sounds like it needs front end work and obviously needs consider rust repair.

No, tahoes/yukons are nice too. The only downside is no luggage space behind the third row of you have the third row in.

That is what I was thinking. As long as we can get some groceries could work. But I hate to be limited

Kinda hoping the people they are holding that xl for decide they don't want it, bit I would extremely surprised. I would have paid over book for it today! Mist be long time customers because they were going to drive it to their house and they haven't seen it yet.

You can fit a row, mayyyybe two rows of grocery bags full behind the third seat in a Tahoe. Its not terrible but its not impressive by any means lol

Only 2000+ though, right? Looks like the gmt400 ones had less space

The GMT400 hoes and yukons didn't have a third row so they have plenty of space back there
