   So, what you're saying is that it is barely broken in...When I was looking   
   for a suburban, most of what I was looking at had that kind of mileage and   
   more. In the meantime, my neighbor Les, who lived across the steet   
   suffered a fatal heart attack and his widow put all of his collectible   
   vehicles up for sale. I asked for first bid on it when she and his brother   
   began to clean out the house. When it came to it, they were asking $2500   
   and I offered $2200. Sharon, his widow was even more generous with the   
   vehicle prices and only took $2k for it, handing me $200 in cash with the   
   title.   
      
   Les took very good care of his vehicles (he had 6) and the suburban was   
   freshly painted less than two years before his demise, so I can't tell if   
   the 98,000 odometer reading is just 98k or 198k...sad to say that I told   
   Les that he should have done better body work, as it waves at you when it   
   drives by. Other than that, it runs and drives like new.
