Does your Equinox have the 2.4 l 4 cylinder or the V-6? The reason I ask is that the 10-12 2.4'* apparently have a proclivity for cam chain tensioner failure, some well before 100K miles. I would hate to see you dump big bucks into a transmission repair/rebuild only to have the 2.4 crap out on you shortly after. I did a lot of research into the 2.4 this last winter and decided to gamble on a 2017 Equinox LT as the 04 Bonne SLE was getting long in the tooth with 165K miles and the wife wanted a crossover for ease of entry/exit. There are higher rated crossover SUV'* out there than the Equinox, but I couldn't resist the price. In Feb. I got $4250 in GM incentives plus another $2725 I had on my GM credit card and another $500 for being a Farm Bureau insurance member. Whatever your decision, I wish you good luck.
