Have you considered certain options that it must or would be nice to have? Are the larger engines a must or can you make do with the 5.3? 4WD or AWD or 2WD? K5L - HD Cooling? Tahoe, Suburban or one of the Yukons?
Captain's Chairs in the second row were a must have for me. Navigation was not a must have but glad I got it. Love the moonroof. HD Cooling and Tow Package was a must, have integrated trailer brake controller too. 3.42 gears were a must. 2 Speed transfer case. Bose stereo is nice. Nice to haves that I did not get were the power rear liftgate and rear DVDs. I'm good without either until grand kids start showing up.
I didn't particularly care for another black vehicle but mine is, as is its interior. Nowhere near as hot as my old cars, like that it is dark inside.

Well... finally found one... only took about 6 weeks of solid searching, but I do believe the results were worth all the work.
2013 Tahoe LT, build sheet says born 6/25/2013
27673 miles, Carfax very clean and documents everything I was told. Also used my insurance industry connections to run another search, came up matching as well.
857.1 engine hours showing on the computer when I picked it up.
One owner, lived all it's life in the Kilgore-Waco Texas area (no rust), and in a garage. VERY clean in and out.
Flew down yesterday morning and picked up just outside Waco, drove back to Tulsa and got 19.4 running 75-80 on the interstate.Met up with an acquaintance (racing friend) in Tulsa that does some reprogramming on computers, spent a little time while he "tweaked" the computer in mine.
Much better throttle response, firmer shifts, and then from Tulsa to KC showed 21.6 mpg running 70-75 on the interstate, trans temperature dropped about 10 degrees as well (tighter clutch pack- less slippage?)
3.42 rear gear
Summit White, Grey interior, 4 buckets.
K&N filter kit already init's way, Borla kit coming as well.
Still researching who's "stuff" i want to use to drop it, definitely sitting in "nose bleed" territory right now, gotta come DOWN.
