Dyanflash8, I would like to give you some confidence in the GM vehciles. I currently have a 98 Chevrolet Astro van that has 228,000 miles. From Detroit area it has been to Fla twice, Chickasha,Ok., and Hershey in last year. The trips to Fla once was towing a trailer with one of the Buick trucks on it. With good maintenance, the cars just run & run & run.
