It is un-loved so you can get the whole thing cheap, but you need to getbthen6 speed with it. That is 1/2 the magic of this combo.
The low miles coupled with the prices some are under 2k with accessories. The wiring is a concern for me, waiting to hear back from a seller on ebay its a '15 year model. Insurance auctions may be a better option considering I need a new interior for the suburban anyway. Thanks!
