I would look for something else. A lot of strange items on this one. Between the Car Fax (not reliable) and the GM Vehicle look up and the unknown you might be buying problems. Another this is it's 5 years old and has less than 50K on it. Not always a big deal but on a Fleet vehicle it may be. Could have even had a replaced odometer.

Bellis--

I was hoping you could add a little more to this comment. I'm honestly not a huge truck buff, but this one speaks to me. I only see the slight lift and and ranch hand as not stock. What am I missing? thanks.


Honestly, it just looks like a problem. It's had so much replaced on it, you can find one with no problems for the same price. Besides all that, it was a fleet vehicle. No. I know that some are in good condition, but don't start out with a truck with a lengthy history of being in the shop. I hate the adage, "when you buy used, you're just buying someone else's problems." However, that truck looks like it fits the bill, it's someone else's problem, don't make it yours.

For reference, I got an '08 Yukon with 38K for $24 and change. You CAN find a MUCH better deal.

Broken motor mounts would send me walking away from this Tahoe.

There's too many other Tahoes on the market to jump at this one.

It is not available online. I work at a Chevrolet dealership so I have access to this type of info.

Skip this vehicle, give me 25 stacks, and I'll find you a real nice white hoe. If a white one is what you want.

Thanks all. I actually looked at it in person today. It was like most here said... a bunch of problems. It shook when I accelerated, the 4x4 service warning was on, and it just had a lot of steering play... or course, that could have been the lift. I have to admit though, when I first saw it, I was excited. It just looked bad ass.

Unfortunately, I'm not just looking for fast prom date...

That sucks, but better that you found out now, than on the side of the road. Keep looking, Texas has lots of Tahoes for sale.
