2000-2005 chevy suburban owners

Hello I am looking into possibly purchasing a suburban that is within these years. I need to know if there is anything mechanical I should look out for. Also if there is anyone that loves or hates their suburban.
Thanks!!

There is a few issues that can go wrong. I think the biggest worry I had (2004 Yukon XL) was the air ride suspension. Very pricey and goes out around 90-100k.

I had an 04 and ran it until 160K and only issue I ever had was the driver's seat motor went out while still under warranty. It was very reliable.

So the one I am looking at is a 2005 has 160k in miles & 1 owner very clean & well maintained with all maintenance records.for $6000

Anyone drive one over 200,000 miles? How did it do?

Oh yeah, my power seat went out as well:/ It would only go back and forth. That was a pain. We traded ours at just over 100k.

We have the Yukon XL Denali, 2005 with 150k on it. We've had it since 2007 and the only problem was the motor in the heater went out due to flooding in our driveway once. I love it and would buy another newer one in a heartbeat if we had the funds.
