I'm thinking about buying an 09 Tahoe LTZ black on black. 2 owners and looks to be maintained. It has 130k on the clock and the dealer is asking $15k for it.
I checked it out and it drove nice, no weird noises or clunks in the transmission. Has a little bit of surface rust underneath which is standard for its age being a Northeast vehicles. (I would plan on doing an undercoating)
The only things that stood out to me was:
- the dashboard was cracked (The dealer did a little fix by gluing it back together but will possibly still need to replaced.)
- rear passenger window rolls down but not back up. Works from driver side controls (dealer ordered a part to fix it)
- arm rest in rear captain's seat is saggy (found a fix online)
- one rear defrost tab not connected (dealer won't fix but found out it just needs to be soldered back)
Are these are deal breakers?
I've been reading up about AFM issues. Is it too late to do AFM delete n save myself from having the lifters fail?
I've never spent this much on vehicle with this many miles before so I'm cautioning for concern.
Is it a smart purchase or should I find a NBS Yukon Denali or NBS Sierra Denali with similar miles for less money?
TIA
