Do I keep it or sell it?

If you get the good quality parts at RA there are discount codes available before you order.

Get most my stuff from them, great prices

 

[OR VietVet]

Sometimes Amazon can send the item free delivery and you save a little because of that compared to shipping from RA. You can also get the item quicker at times.

Hi Guys,
Looking for some advice. I have an '08 Tahoe LTZ with 150,000 miles, truck is well maintained, little to no rust underneath, engine, tranny, transfer and diff all seem in good shape and it has been serviced and repaired regularly as needed by me (Mostly). I do not tow anymore and my traveling is much less then it was a couple of years ago. It needs some minor body work and paint, be cleaned real good and some other "Stuff", total about $5,000. If I sell it I would end up with a 1 or 2 year old Traverse for $25,000. that would probably last as long as I'll drive. I love my Tahoe but I can't do most of the work anymore without help.
I have been offered $10,000. as it sits.

Thoughts about longevity and durability for another 50,000 + miles.

Thanks,

Okay everyone, here is what I did. New hood (rust), new windshield, new headlights, touch-up paint, complete buff and polish along with some mechanical work, it really didn't need much as I have kept up on everything. Had the inside super cleaned and looks great. Going to get tires before July vacation out West. Total cost without tires about $3000. What do you think?
I want to thank everyone for the suggestions.

I have the side moldings if anyone wants them just pay shipping and they are yours.

Smart move keeping it. I would have done the exact same thing! Nice color and your Tahoe is in excellent shape!
