Do not buy this 2012 Chevy Equinox Vin#2GNFLEEK9C6384792, I had purchased this from vehicle from Carmax in Hartford, CT in April of 2013. It had about 3200 miles. After only driving it for about 30 miles I noticed the passenger airbag light was on. Since it was still under factory warranty i took it to the local chevy dealer.
They told me they would need it for a day and gave me a loaner vehicle. They called the next day saying there was a major problem. That the vechicle had been in a flood, there was non factory wiring and splicing under the center console where the electronics are for the passenger airbag and the vin# on that did not match the vin on the car. I went down and took pics of the wiring and rust on the front seat brackets. I then took the car back to Carmax where they gave me my money back after they took the car apart again and saw the splicing and rust. I believe they auctioned it off, dont think they mentioned the flood damage and was retailed in NH. Looks like it was then sold, and now is for sale at the Thrifty in Westfield, MA. I will try and put up the pics I took. Please dont buy this vehicle!
