i bought my 01 hoe with 75000 on da clock now 115000. first thing i check on a vehicle is the dip stick (im not a mechanic but something i do) if its clean, its a good chance they change da oil periodically. if its full of gunk,etc. its a good chance i wont buy that vehicle.
jus my 2 cents

Like many, I bought mine with what some would consider high mileage, about 130k. It's an '03 Denali, was meticulously maintained by the OCD air force guy that owned her before me (he had all the records on On-Star, too). Only issue I had that I consider major was the rear shocks and compressor needed replacing. The truck drives great, straight, and still looks good. We've added about 20K miles and haven't noticed a bit of difference.

high mileage on these vehicles is 350K+ miles. I mean I have seen 900K on these drivetrains. More than likely, if its been regular oil change, they can make 400k without a problem. Weak spot is the tranny, but with stock tuning a TQ managmnet they hold up just fine.

Pulled the trigger, truck runs great. I am becoming very tempted to do the 5.3 to 6.0 swap :)
