Interesting but not surprising.
A few years ago I was looking for a 2500 Burb with the 8.1. I saw a ton of high mile Burbs when I was looking that still (to me) were asking for a ton of $.
We found a 2003 with around 125k miles. Engine and tranny were great. Seats didn’t hold up well. Heated seats didn’t work and I spent close to $1k to replace a leaky sunroof. Dash was badly cracked. And the rear defroster failed as well as other “little things”. Rattled like crazy and my wife hated it.
We kept it just one year. Two years ago we replaced it with a 2011 Yukon Denali XL. Now has 85k on the clock. And rattles just as bad as the old one did. But at least the heated seats still work and the sunroof doesn’t leak. Yet. At least it is mechanically sound.
I would like to get rid of it but a new one is too expensive. I’m sure I am not alone in my feelings.
