IT IS THE BEST CAR YOU COULD FIND FOR THE PRICE!!!

Awesome car! Worth the money. Long lasting value. All except, it is rear-wheel drive. Other than that it is the best 7-seater car you can get!!!

Great Truck. Still Awesome after 14 yrs of owned

Even though this is a rebadged Chevrolet Envoy. The car has been great. This truck has had the usual problems that Envoys had. Stepper motors in the dash. Some 4x4 problems, very minor. It has been great with little to worry about. The 4.2L inline 6 is 88one of the best engines money can buy. I have taken this truck off reading and used it for towing. It is truly a Jack of all Trades.

Best purchase

I was looking for a car, but not sure what exactly I wanted. After speaking with them about the car I decided on, I was feeling very comfortable with my decision. They made me feel safe about purchasing a used car and making my purchase with them. Very honest and patient dealership.

hard to find parts and get repaired

i love my ascender with a few exceptions. the interior door broke and the panel busted because my german shepherd was standing on the window. i've been looking for parts for weeks!!! i cant find anywhere around here including the chevy dealer that has parts. the suspension is very spongy buy smooth but that makes you towing a heavy boat... i was blown around by the wind and almost lost it due to the soft suspension. itd be nice for a small boat or trailer but i'd never get close to the capacity again. 5/5 if youare just using it as a family car.

Acscender LS-7 rides like a Caddy

Pulls my 1981 Ski Nautique, rides great, no major maintenance problems except for the fan I replaced, and new tires at 80,000 miles. 13mpg in town, 19mpg on the Interstates. Bought used in 2008 with 70,000 miles, and I love it.

best vehicle i have owned

I purchased this vehicle March 2005 and have driven 71,000 miles. The Performance, Value for the Money, and Reliability has been its best features. I would recommend this vehicle to a friend. I used this vehicle for commuting, transporting family, towing, work, off-roading, having fun, and just getting around.
