Hello all,
I have been looking at purchasing another Tahoe or Yukon and in my price range have mostly been looking at 2010-2012 models. Last night I ran across a 2017 Tahoe that looks brand new but has 200k miles on it. VERY competitive price. Somehow the Carfax is completely blank except for yearly registration. I didn’t plan on getting one with that kind of mileage but the options on it and the price are making me think. It is located cross country from me so I would have to buy it without driving it and have it shipped to me. Is this something I should stay away from?
A gambler wouldn’t take the bet because it seems like a 50-50. It could be either the best deal or the worst deal. Chances are that with the interior well-maintained the drivetrain would also be well-maintained. At 100K miles per year, this was driven significant distances every day. As others have stated, it was used for business pickup/delivery, personnel shuttle or a rental. There should be maintenance records and a clean Car Fax. Without them, it’s like tossing a coin to find out if you’re a winner or loser.
And an additional significant cost is the transportation of with you going on a trip to get it or having it shipped. My advice from here in New Jersey is to “fagetaboutit!”
