Default Considering a 2017 suburban

I’m looking at a 2017 suburban premier that has been well taken care of. Outside of regular maintenance, the main repairs to it have been the lifters and the torque converter. All work done at a local chevy dealer. Price is ~30k and the suburban has 126k miles. Anything else I should be aware of or ask about? Or avoid the car?

Within the past two months. Not sure if there’s a warranty

Did GM use 1234yf refrigerant in 2017? Apparently that works well but is significantly more expensive than the R134a it replaced, just be aware of that.

My 2017 Premier was the best vehicle I ever had. That being said, I pick up my new 2023 Premier on monday.

We picked up a 2014 Yukon XL Denali November 2022 with 76K miles, pristine, with 6.2 liter engine (needed for towing Mrs. Cusser's two horses), AWD for 32K. We needed 6.2 liter engine for the towing capability, just didn't want to gamble on a 5.3 liter engine after having 5.7 liter engine in our 1994 Suburban.
