Description: the full story
There are Low Miles No Miles SUVs…and then there are the ones that never really lived the life they were built for. This 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 falls into that category, 13,330 miles shown and presenting as a remarkably preserved example of one of GM’s most durable full-size platforms.
Vehicle Overview
Finished in Medium Charcoal Gray Metallic over a Graphite/Medium Gray cloth interior, this Suburban is powered by its original 5.3L Vortec V8 paired with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. The odometer currently shows 13,330 miles, and the vehicle remains completely stock and unmodified throughout.
This example retains its factory configuration, supported by original documentation including the window sticker, invoice, manuals, and brochures. The truck also received rust-proofing when new, helping preserve the undercarriage.
Story
This Suburban was originally owned by a single individual before being passed down to a family member. The current seller purchased it in fall 2025 from the nephew of the original owner, at which time it showed just over 12,000 miles.
Since then, approximately 1,200 miles have been added, bringing the total to 13,330 miles today. The vehicle’s history reflects long-term ownership and minimal use, contributing to its preserved condition.
It is accompanied by both sets of original keys and a complete collection of paperwork from new, further supporting its history.
Condition
As expected for a well-preserved example, the truck presents in extremely clean condition throughout. The exterior shows no history of paintwork or body damage, and no rust is reported beyond light surface oxidation on typical undercarriage components.
The interior remains in excellent condition, with minimal wear consistent with the miles shown.
Mechanically, the vehicle is reported to run and drive as it should, with no known issues. A full service, including an oil change and multi-point inspection, was completed in September 2025 prior to the current owner’s purchase.
One noted item is the absence of the third-row seat, which was removed by the original owner and placed into storage. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

Letter From The LMNM Team
This is one of those trucks that hits home for us.
We’re huge fans of the GMT800 platform in the office. Every time one gets posted in the group especially a clean one that’s not even for sale the comment sections are full of people asking the owner to sell it. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how these trucks are viewed today.
Now take that, and add 13k miles shown.
That’s what makes this one different. Most of these were used exactly how they were built to be used family trips, towing, daily driving, piling on miles year after year. Finding one that never really went through that cycle is getting harder and harder.
This is the kind of Suburban that gives you a glimpse into what these trucks felt like when they were new. Simple, durable, and untouched. It’s not something we see often and it’s exactly the kind of vehicle that fits what LMNM is all about.
Congratulations @Jsteager, the last truck you’ll probably ever need to buy with these miles and congrats to @Low Miles No Miles on your first successful auction!
Need that 3rd row seat!
@jaredcosta87 @Gauge4549 @Jsteager @Manuel Mendoza @Troyefl hey guys just wanted to thank everyone for the early bids and wanted everyone to know this is a no reserve auction and will be selling to the highest bidder in 13 min!
With this low of miles I’ve seen seals start to leak. Does this vehicle any fluids including oil?
Are there any issues with the paint or clear coat peeling anywhere on this 2002 Suburban ? Possibly on top of the roof?
Hello everyone! Well, it’s the last day for bidding and I wanted to thank all of you for your interest and for all the current bidders, as well as any new bidders who may join before the auction ends. If you have any questions at all before the auction closes, don’t hesitate to reach out. Good luck and thanks for your participation!
@Pontiac35th yes I do have the factory floor mats. We had them removed for the pictures so people could see how clean the carpets are underneath. The date code on the tires is 4601. So they were made in the 46th week of 2001. There is no dry rotting or cracking, the tires look near new.
@seller not sure if I missed them somewhere, but do you have the original floor mats? Also, what are the dates on the tires?
@mjsmithew I purchased it from the nephew of the original owner, who received it upon his passing. He’s not sure what happened to it but he said he’d let me know if they find it. I do have another one that was removed and stored since new and never sat in, but unfortunately it’s at my brother’s home in Denver and I haven’t had a chance to go pick it up from him yet.
@seller if you know original owner family, is it possible to track down third row?
@Eli Swenson I do not have the 3rd row seat.
Hi everyone! I appreciate all the interest you’ve shown in my Suburban since LMNM first dropped it for all to see. It really is a time capsule and something you just don’t see many of like this anymore. This is the real deal so bid with confidence knowing there will be no surprises. Good luck to all and thank you to all the early bidders!
@seller 3rd row?
