Cdub..... The one consideration I have is parts/repair costs...
My '88 is pretty low cost.
I am taking the 2005 for a long test drive this weekend ( maybe).... But looking at the CarFax, it shows 3 pages of well-timed - mileage service records. I can only guess any issues may have been resolved. ( good for me).....

Heck... even the leather has no wear / cracking.

It has 16" wheels.... I may swap from my old truck, my BRAND NEW Michelin tires for the 1/2 worn Michelins on the Yukon.... But my new tires are more "comfort tires" with the 2 ply sidewalls... I wonder if the added weight of the Yukon requires me to get a harder tire?? ( But, I'll save $800.00 )

Thanks for your thoughts....
