Just Picked Up This 2013 Tahoe LTZ

[Scrappycrow]

Hi Y'all,

I was mainly on the lookout for PPVs, but when this came up for only a bit more than the PPVs I was running across, I checked it out and snapped it up. 183K, $9,750, from an Alfa Romeo dealer.

The AFM is working fine, but will be turned off via tuning ASAP. Everything else is fully-functional, with the exception of the rear defogger (which has a broken-off tab).

The exterior is a 9/10, and the majority of the interior is an 8/10, with the exceptions of the dash, steering wheel, and bottom section of the driver's seatback (which has a large hole, but surprisingly the left seat bottom bolster is 8/10). No pics of the interior forthcoming, as black is hard to shoot well, IMO.

Regards,
Shawn

I would change all the fluids and plugs when you get a chance. Georgia so no rust to worry about should be easy enough to work on. 9grand isn't bad at all even if you need a trans replacement eventually, you only be like 13grand all in.

super clean

Welcome to the forum from Northern Idaho! That is a clean-looking Tahoe you picked up and sounds like it was a great deal. Congrats!

In the spirit of what blackelky said ...
Unless that vehicle came with well-detailed maintenance records, you should maintain it as if you are sure 'something' bad is going to happen, but you've no clue what that bad thing is.
Put another way: instead of waiting for stuff to break and then fixing them, maintain stuff before it breaks so as to avoid surprises.
ALL FLUIDS - oil, coolant, ATF, axle, transfer case?
Visibility ...
Coolant hoses, belts, rear coolant connections, thermostat, H2Opump
Plugs ... wires ... (coils?) ...
Brakes, steering, suspension ...

Get ahead of the problems, don't let them choose when to force you to take a day off.

Nice find!

Thanks for the suggestions on immediate maintenance needs, folks. I'd already planned on all of the fluids (including brake, which many folks forget) and some of the suggested hard parts.

Looks great!

For the rear defroser tab Frost Fighter is a great product. https://frostfighter.com/
