Six former US Secret Service Chevy Suburban HDs are for sale with a big price tag — here’s your chance to drive in armored style

The good news is the mileage on these 2019 vehicles is quite low, coming in at about 35,000 miles. The bad news is you’re going to have to get used to driving in a whole different way.

They are heavy, too. Besides the armor, they have glass that’s nearly two inches thick. They run on a 6.0-liter V8, and people who have driven them say they don’t exactly excel when it comes to handling.

“It doesn’t want to turn. It doesn’t want to stop. It just wants to go straight. That’s it,” Ben Kelsey, who is selling one of the vehicles and plans to keep the other, told The Drive.

There’s no word on the mileage they get, but heavier cars tend to guzzle a lot more gas. Kelsey, however, said he only had to stop every 600 miles when driving the cars home to Texas from New Hampshire — implying they have a huge tank.

A rare find

Vehicles of this sort rarely go up for sale, but when they do, it’s usually a one-off. Finding several available at once is a freak occurrence.

The owner of Northeast Auto Imports, which has four for sale (though it cautions to call for availability), says he drove past the facility that makes them and began talking with the manufacturer about acquiring off-lease vehicles more regularly.

Pricewise, the Suburban HD isn’t as expensive as you might expect, but it’s hardly cheap.

Kelsey is asking $139,000 for his, which has 21,000 miles on it. Northeast Auto Imports is asking $105,000 for the one it’s currently advertising. The others in its inventory should be listed at a later date.
