I paid a body shop $6K to repair rust damage (I live near Buffalo,NY) and I just replaced the fuel lines, fuel pump, and brake lines myself. My Sub will have to keep going for a few more years. After that I may look for a rust-free 2001-2005 K2500 like mine from a southern or west state.
It's hard to imagine paying near $80K for a vehicle that will rust out in front of your eyes over a period of years.

When you start looking, check out south Texas. Lots of older Suburbans in great shape down here.
We got our Excursion Diesel from Texas...it has 240,000 miles on it and going strong, my DH does all his own work on it, never brakes down but it is maintained to pristine condition...it tows like a workhorse.
I don't think he'd ever sell it even though I'd love a new Dodge diesel but the $80,000 price tag is beyond our means...
