I was just thinking about the age of my wife’s car this morning. We’re fixing to drive it most of the way across the country in two weeks. It’s a 2015 Chevy Equinox. I had a mechanic give it a once over a few weeks ago.

We’ve only ever bought late model high mileage used cars and had very good results.

The last one I bought for myself was two years old with 145,000 miles. I put another 300,000 on it before selling it.

For the last few years I’ve been blessed with Company pickup trucks that they turn over at way too low of a mileage number.

2015 Chevy Equinox is a fine car. Hope you have the LT model.

I have a 2005 Trailblazer LT with the GM 6/250 (4.2l) engine. It’s a dependable beast. Only some fit and finish items over the years and everything was DIY. It’s got everything they could stuff into it that model year. Best feature is the truck box frame it’s built on. My Ex totaled two vehicles with it and only broke plastic trim items up front. Zip ties made her purdy again. Only 190K on it, expecting it to do at least 500k on that 6/250.
