Possible 2015 Suburban
hello,
im looking for some advice/feedback regarding the 2015 Suburban, specifically the LTZ model.
we are considering upgrading to this big fella from a Nissan Pathfinder specifically for the extra room in the rear and trunk. We would have the 3rd row down 90% of the time. The one I'm looking at has about 45k miles on it, clean car fax with detailed service records.
So my question for the forums, and I apologize if this is the 50th million post asking the same thing, would you buy again? What should I be on the lookout for as far as potential issues go? What is routine maintenance like? I like to DIY a lot of my vehicles but currently have Nissan and Acura and has been a while since owning a chevy, although I drive a 2500 Silverado for work and enjoy it.
appreciate any and all feedback.

If you are a DIY guy then anything would work. Just need to look into the features that you have to have. I got my Escalade ESV a few years ago and I spent about $100 per year on oil and filters. That's it.
Recently, I throw some major works to it: AC replace ($25), Radiator flush ($50), Brake pads ($65), Brake fluid flush ($10), Rear shocks ($400), Front struts ($500) and I'm about to replace the clock spring ($150) then transmission and differential fluid changes . Those are part costs. The shocks and struts job was quoted over $3k at the dealer for parts and labor.
I spent more time working on the Mercedes than the Cadillac. That's the truth. Mercedes have reliable cars but engineering are more complicated thus more maintenance.
