2018 Chevrolet Equinox

====== 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD Cajun Red Sun & Infotainment Confidence & Convenience No Accidents ======*101,582 miles*If you're looking for a comfortable, well-equipped AWD SUV without spending new-car money, this *2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD* deserves a close look. Finished in *Cajun Red Tintcoat over Jet Black*, it combines all-wheel-drive capability, strong fuel economy and some of the most desirable option packages available on the Equinox LT.And unlike the many Equinoxes that left the factory fairly basic, this one had an original suggested price of *$34,270*, including *$4,775 in added factory features*.===== NO ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE REPORTED TO CARFAX =====That's the headline we like to see on a used vehicle.CARFAX reports *no accidents or damage*, no structural damage, no airbag deployment, no total-loss history, no odometer rollback indication and no open manufacturer recalls reported. It has been a *personal-use vehicle* and was last owned here in Minnesota.The CARFAX also shows *27 service history records*, including a long history of documented oil changes and maintenance. CARFAX specifically notes that its oil changes have been performed regularly.===== AWD + TURBOCHARGED EFFICIENCY =====Power comes from Chevrolet's *1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine* paired with *all-wheel drive*, making this Equinox a practical choice for Minnesota's constantly changing interpretation of what constitutes reasonable weather.The original vehicle specifications list fuel economy at an estimated *24 MPG city and 30 MPG highway*, giving you SUV versatility and AWD traction without feeding it like a full-size truck.Additional mechanical features include StabiliTrak stability control with Traction Control, a 3.87 final-drive ratio, MacPherson-strut front suspension, four-link rear suspension and Chevrolet's engine stop/start system.===== $4,775 IN FACTORY OPTIONS =====This Equinox started with a *$28,500 base suggested price*, but the original equipment information shows another *$4,775 in factory-added equipment*, plus destination, bringing the total suggested price to *$34,270*.The big-ticket options include:*Sun & Infotainment Package -- $1,995**Confidence & Convenience Package -- $1,945**8-Way Power Driver Seat with Power Lumbar -- $400**Cajun Red Tintcoat -- $395*Those packages are a major reason this Equinox stands apart from more basic LT models. Rather than settling for the equipment normally associated with an LT, the original buyer spent nearly $5,000 adding comfort, convenience and technology.===== COMFORTABLE, PRACTICAL AND EASY TO LIVE WITH =====Inside you'll find a *Jet Black interior* with an 8-way power driver's seat including power lumbar support, push-button Keyless Start, electronic cruise control, rear-window defogger, illuminated vanity mirrors, overhead sunglass storage and plenty of passenger and cargo flexibility.The exterior is highlighted by the upgraded *Cajun Red Tintcoat*, HID headlamps, LED daytime running lamps, deep-tinted rear glass, bright lower-window trim and body-color door handles and mirror caps.Safety equipment includes a Rear Vision Camera, StabiliTrak with Traction Control, multiple airbags, Tire Pressure Monitoring with Tire Fill Alert and Chevrolet's Teen Driver system. Teen Driver allows configurable vehicle settings associated with a key fob and can provide an in-vehicle report on driving behavior, a pretty clever feature for families with a newer driver in the household.===== CARFAX GOOD RELIABILITY FORECAST =====CARFAX gives this Equinox a *Good Reliability* forecast based on comparable 2018 Chevrolet Equinox models from the same region with similar mileage.It ranks in the *top 50% compared with similar vehicles*, with CARFAX projecting an average repair cost of approximately *$320 per year* over the next three years.
