I am starting my search for an NNBS Tahoe, as my NBS is just getting a bit too much to maintain for what it is worth. I am looking for 2010 and up. I am coming across some 2012s with 100k miles. I am curious, does that seem like a lot of miles for that short a time period?

Remember the 2010 came out in 2009 so that could mean 20,000 a year for 5years or 25 for 4. It's still a bunch, but nothing I would be worried about. If I were in the market, I'd still look at them.
However, if you're going to take that many miles, I'd make sure it's fully loaded and not an LS or PPV

2012 with 100K on it? Walk away. There are plenty of other trucks with far less miles on them. Be patient and wait for what you want.
I just got a 07 with 83k on it for less than 20,000. It's a LS tho but super clean. As long as it has a good maintenance record I wouldn't be too worried. It's all about what your willing to pay
Sorry, sent that post at work while considering a truck for the day. Ended up deciding on not jumping on the truck.
I am looking for a 2010 and up PPV Tahoe with ~100,000 miles or less, here's the kicker, under $20k. Reason: Being a first responder, I have no troubles getting dealers to sell me PPVs, its just whether its exactly what I want or not, and its difficult to be picky with used PPVs. Why PPV though? Its up to $10k off sticker because its pretty stripped down, but this makes it very functional, which is why I want it. I simply don't have the attitude I had before and am less interested in the look, more interested in being able to stay organized and get my gear from A to B. I want a GM vehicle, because that's what I am comfortable with, experienced with, and am loyal to. I want a 2010 because of the standard side airbags in the back and guaranteed 6 speed (no fishing through 2009s), and newer years only because they are that much newer (and some more features like airbags up front).
I'm alright with some miles because I know these engines are no stranger to high mileage. I currently sit at 220k. About 190k of that was from 2003 to 2009, which when compared to 100k from 2012 to now, isn't much different. I don't drive far often. During school my only driving is for deployment and training. I've put on 30k in 3 years. Like it was mentioned, all I want is a well-maintained truck that will last as long as I want it to as I continue to maintain it well.
I would love a fully loaded or even semi-loaded NNBS, but the simple matter is that I can't afford it. Sure I can take out that 5 year loan, but I am not interested in burying myself yet.
Decided that I will stop looking out of state and just keep my feelers in a few choice Texas dealers that tend to find PPVs and SSVs. Part of the reason for this decision is that my NBS is running perfectly fine now, its just that I feel it is a ticking time bomb. Even if I got a 2012 that still required some shop work every 6 months, I would prefer that because it is to maintain a much more valuable and much more personally appealing vehicle.
Keep the opinions coming, this is my first time to actually be legitimately in the market for a new-to-me vehicle. My NBS was a hand me down.
