Super high miles?

[Miami-Dade]

If you are seriously considering the 07 Yukon get all the service records and the name of the place where it was serviced..I always did that before I bought any used vehicle no matter what the mileage was..It probably save me a lot of headaches plus I had a independent put it on the rack and had everything checked in case I missed something.

What state in the US is this vehicle. If it's been all its life in snow and salted areas don't do it.

I agree with 08grey. If you are going to keep this truck or sink money into it like 90% of us on this forum, you don't want a car that will rust out in a year or 2. My denali was a flood car and it looked greally when I bought it, 2 months after the flood. But now I am seeing the damage. But I have spent too much to walk away from it now.

Word, lots of guys even dealers spay two cams worth of undercoat on under the truck and tell you it's mint. The dealer did it to me on my certified pre owned. First thing I ever did before any mods was strip it all off and por 15 the chassis. Luckily I had a friend with a lift and a sharp eye and he pointed it out to me right out the gate.

I've known dealers and wholesalers who put gear oil in the motor instead of oil to quiet it up. Some really shady characters out there.

My question would be: If it's in such good shape at 323,000 why is the limo company selling it? Not meant to sound notty.

I am thinking about buying a 07 yukon xl. it is in great condition except for the miles. It is sitting at 323000. He is asking $5300. It was used for a limo service and maintained well. Are the miles too high? Should i keep looking? My current 04 Sierra is at 287000 but it is a pick up.

My 05 Tahoe had engine replaced at 208000 and trany just gave up at 240000 in total cost $9000 for OEM replacements (with my Hubbys employee discount) so be prepared to pay in excess of that if you need to replace.

I'm in the same situation, trying to get my girl a Tahoe and was thinking of sneaking in a high mileage 07 with around 200k miles or getting a previous gen with around 100-150k. Its really just going to be a back up in case my Tahoe has an issue. She has a car now we never drive and planning to do the same with her next one and since its so similar to mine, I wouldnt have issue with most replacements but terrified of that engine and tranny going. 300+k seems a little too much especially coming from a limo company. Maybe I would feel more confident if it was a private seller who really cares about his car. I am thinking 200k is a good area to aim at that is considered high mileage but really worth taking risk on. No matter which way you go, its always a risk.

I ended up with a 02 Denali with 185000 on the clock. I would have loved the newer body style but everybody was right it was too big of a risk.
