Thinking of buying 94 Tahoe

[weatherfordjacey]

So I found a guy on Craigslist selling a 94 Tahoe for 2500 I test drove it today I love it but the thing is the steering is really loose I'm mechanically inclined I'm just wondering if it's worth buying and fixing or is fixing it gonna cost me what I payed for it so help me decide if I should get it or not

Loose steering is unfortunately pretty common in these trucks after racking up 100k + miles. Worse case scenario, it would need a steering sector, pitman arm, idler arm, all 4 tie rods. I would check the ball joints and control arm bushings as well.
If you have the tools needed for the job, its not difficult. I would recommend Moog parts, in my opinion they are the best.
Is it worth it? Well $2500 is a damn good price as long as the rest of the truck is in decent shape. Check around for prices to get an idea of what everything would cost if it is that "worse case scenario" .

The only other bad part about the truck is the interior and no a/c and drivers window won't go down

Sounds about right for a $2500 truck! Lol! Alot of good interior parts can be found at salvage yards. The a/c probably needs a compressor or possibly just a leak. Switch or motor for the window. If this is going to be a project truck and you can take your time with it, it doesn't sound any worse than the issues mine had when i bought it! And i paid damn near twice as much!

Sounds a little high depends on miles and rust /rot along with any new parts receipts. before you know it your in the truck for 4k and it s only worth the original 2500. good luck

Here in Colorado if the 4 wheel drive works good, low miles, no rust , no accidents that price will be about right.

I agree , there is a lot of room on price depends on where you are!
