Hey all, since the 9-5 is up for the winter I'm thinking I should buy some good winter transportation.
I was first thinking Audi 80 or 90 quattro, but then I though I should have something I can haul stuff with in the winter and summer (think skis, hockey stuff, and bigger stuff in the summer)
So then I thought 4 runner (late 80's early 90's). But they are pretty expensive.

Now I'm thinking Suburban (again, late 80's early 90's). I'm out here in Washington State working and they seem to be a dime a dozen out here. I'm thinking this would be a good move since I may have to start moving trailers (15-20' trailers) around for my new company as well as needing some extra room sometimes.

I've found a few in the local classifieds a 93 for $2800 (no mileage listed) and a 90 for 1850 (again, no mileage).

I'll have to drive it back to Vermont, but I should have a rust free truck when I get there, something I know I can't find back east.

Just wondering if I'm off my rocker. My old man has an 81 plow truck and a 87 plow truck, both have been pretty good to him, and I can work my way around the chevy 350 pretty well. My big concern is how long these things will last. I'm assuming I'm going to be looking at 150K+ trucks. So can I get 225 or 250 out of them?

Thoughts?

Liam :-) 01 9-5 Aero (which would be a lot more fun to drive then a suburban).
