Looking at a 07 police tahoe

[Djay762]

another thing to consider is the hours on the engine. Police vehicles sit for long periods of time running.

Actually, many 07-08 police tahoes are retired between 65k and up, so no, not all government tahoes are run into the ground...

I agree with the occasional low mileage thing. Locally there were a few Tahoes that were bought mainly for inclement weather. They were bought with the intention of keeping them 3 to 4 years. So the mileage on a few of them is really low. On the other hand, some of them are 120k miles plus! I saw a suburban that had 12k miles on it. Its whole life was spent as a tow vehicle for an emergency rescue boat.

I think they would have a decent maintenance schedule. Regular fluid changes.

Preventative maintenance probably keeps some cops alive.

well it depends on the station. The RI state police has to have their cars Inspected and Maintained every month.

exactly.

I am waiting to find the right one, looking for no more than 60 or 70k miles. Would like to keep it under $20,000

all I would be interested in adding is the front leather seats and console, the vinyl in the back is perfect for hauling the dogs and I am clumzy

basically ive seen some 20-30,000 mile 07 08's for around 20k. thats what im looking for.

I bought one earlier in the year, couple minor body dings. It had 130,000 on it when i got it. I had to replace the transmission in sept, hit me for a grand. I bought a center console off craigslist, my interior was great except for the driver seat. i plan on replacing both seats anyway. I bought carpet from ebay, just the front section though because if i put crap in the back i wont have to worry about dirt and grime. I had a crown vic previously and loved having the upgraded wiring and coolers, definitely great for custom audio setups.

Its a 2007, funny thing when i was getting it replaced LTZ model was getting theirs replaced too. I love the police look on most cars, I could have gotten a non-ppv version but it had what i wanted done to already. They are lowered already, beefed up suspension, and different gearing for the trans. The cheaper you can get it the more money for accessories is how i see it.

I bought an 07 Tahoe SSV at auction with 87K miles. I added leather, tinted front windows and cleaned the paint up a bit. I really like it. It's dark blue with tint and no roof rack or chrome.

I'd sell for the right price. Has 92K on it now.
