New 2013 Tahoe LT

[Geotrash]

Thanks all for the comments! I haven't driven it much in the last week, but I am pleased so far. Some mechanical things to work out, but I'm hoping nothing too major.


Yep, they advertised it as having been garaged. The good news is I have a garage spot for it, too. So hopefully I can keep it looking that good for a while longer.

I do have to admit, there are some imperfections that the pics don't show. Several tiny dimples on the passenger side (like hail damage, but on side panels, hood and roof are fine). I believe driver's door has been mildly dented and then repaired with paintless or something. The molding has some waves and it's not perfectly straight looking down the side. That's the door that has a bunch of rattles in it, too, so going to have to address that. One of the coiled wires for the rear defrost is hanging loose, so need to fix that with conductive glue. (I think I have some from the same repair on my old suburban) But overall, in pretty good shape.

They always need something when we buy them used - even low mileage 'cream puffs'. But getting it to where we want it is part of the fun. That, and not paying a king's ransom for a new one.

Frost fighter tab repair is what several on this forum have used to repair the defrost wire with good success.

I plan to do the same with mine. Mine has the trailee sway tow option but no 3.42 gears or external trans cooler. I wonder if the factory one will be plug and play? Ac delco is rock auto for like 60$
