off topic but i gotta show our new ride!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sgtjed · 04-29-2003, 12:44 AM

here is our new burb my wife and i bought tonite,brand new with 86 miles on the clock. its millinium yellow fully loaded with leather.
we got one heck of a deal as it is a 2002 and dealer wanted to move it real bad as he almost had it for a year.
so we decided to get it as it was about 10k cheaper than the 2003 base model one we were lookin at.
well here it its,i know yellow isnt everyone fav color but i think it lookes real sharp and is diffrent than the silvers and greys that almost everyone gets.

miket · 04-29-2003, 12:55 AM

Congrats...they are good rigs!!!!

jacquesdean · 04-29-2003, 01:02 AM

very very nice, congrats, great savings.

sgtjed · 04-29-2003, 02:29 AM

thanks,we got it cause we got so sick of taking the 4 kids around in the plymouth voyager that we traded in on it.
i think the dealer was wanting to get it off his lot cause of having it over a year and it only moved 86 miles since he had it. i drives great,we originaly went to get a tahoe but got to looking and figured we could use the extra 18 inches of the burb.
besides the tahoe with the same options was 37k and the burb was 32k.
so after looking at the other burbs online that was around 40k for the same thing we went for it.

Is that Millenium Yellow, as in the same Millenium Yellow that's on the Corvette?

Sweeeeeet.

sgtjed · 04-29-2003, 04:58 AM

yup same as the vette

Roberty · 04-29-2003, 10:28 AM

Congratulations!! You won't regret getting the Suburban instead of a Tahoe. The extra room is really useful.

i used to have the chrysler minivans bu the newer ones were disasters with constant mechanical problems. Theres me two kids and my parents and i went to the SUV too and love it only thing is that burb eats gas compared to the minivan good luck wiht it tho

Project1970 · 04-29-2003, 01:28 PM

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure because the picture washes it out a bit....sweeeeet.

sgtjed · 04-29-2003, 02:24 PM

yes i agree the night time pic kinda washed the color out so i retook a daytime pic to show the true color

go-fast69 · 04-29-2003, 05:08 PM

that thing is awesome, when I first saw one that was yellow I told my wife I was trading in her yukon and she about killed me (yellow is my favorite and her least favorite color). very nice ride I envy you.

Project1970 · 04-29-2003, 07:19 PM

Yeah, that picture shows it off. Wow, I didn't think they'd ever use it on a Burb...but it works, it actually works!

dons72 · 04-29-2003, 07:28 PM

Nice looks better on the burb than the vette.

PanelDeland · 04-29-2003, 08:03 PM

I usually jist cain't abide a YELLER ride.But,I like that, maybe a little black detail and I could come to love it.

yellowgmc · 04-29-2003, 10:32 PM

gmc67swb · 04-30-2003, 12:23 AM

now you have a parts truck for the old truck! can you say late model drive trane!lol

sgtjed · 04-30-2003, 03:47 AM

hehehe i had a 70 yellow one,here let me show ya. i got rid of it on a stupid whim and regretted it. my wife didnt like yella but fell for this burb.
the coolest part is when i drive around i dont see another burb like it,i see the tahoe and truks the same color.
i was told that the burb was special ordered this color and it costed 170 bucks extra on the sticker to order it in yellow.

but here is my old 70 i had that i was stupid and got rid of. it was factory sunflower yellow,402 bb,pb,ps and air.
