I need to replace my work SUV, and came across a '05 Tahoe from the Border Patrol.
The bad:
No seal around the hatch glass
No left turn signal
Loose tornsion bar on left side
Tires need to be replaced (Current tires are BFG 285/75/16)
Leather or vinyl back seat, cloth buckets up front
Driver's seat has hole from wear (handgun holsters will do that)
Front end grill just doesn't look right. Headlights are at odd angles
No dual battery setup
Rear doors cannot be opened from the inside
No jack. May need a high lift jack
Front skid plate removed
Extra wires
Good:
Body
Engine
Transmission (4x4 works)
Low miles
No carpet
Tow package
Front and rear A/C that works well. (It's hot down here in TX)
Size ( I carry a bunch of gear sometimes)
Plain looks...don't want to attract attention
there's also a blue nylon strap as part of the front suspension I haven't seen on other vehicles. Looks like it limits the travel of the front wheels.
Price is $11K
Miles:< 34K
Thoughts?
