If your happy with the price then go ahead and get it. If your not up to doing rust repairs yourself then you would be money ahead with that rust free one over a rusty one at half the price. Plus everyone knows green Burbans sell for more.
Good advice! Yes, green 'Burbs do rock!

Here in the south Suburbans seem to be much more rare and nice examples do bring more money.

Hidden rust can be a real demon. I paid $4200 for my 4x4 five years ago and it was running and driving. I probably have $11k in it now and it still isn't back on the road.

Post up some pics if you can
Yes we are a lil spoiled.

The fact its a good runner with overdrive is also a bonus. All 3 rows of seats is also a factor especially if originality is a priority.

Im not a purist nor care alot about originalty. Rust free is a huge deal though! I think I initially down played that. Best of luck to you, and remember its your decision. You know whats important to you!
