Traded my 2000 in with 41K on the clock, loved the ride, the power...other than that, the car was junk..rattles in the dash, squeak from the drivers seat, a bad steering gear, a bad tie rod, interior trim came off the door, the alternator going, I got out before the coolant issue reared it's ugly head. And the dealer told me all of these things were normal. Another quality GM product, the same folks who used the cheap tail gate support cables for their trucks...used to love GM..now i won't buy another one.
