99 Tahoe with High Mileage?

[Pandamonkey]

I've been thinking about trading up to a full size SUV due to the added safety factor and that my kids seem to keep growing and growing........(mabye if I stop feeding them?)

 

There is a 99 Tahoe LT four door, four by four for sale near me. It's in really nice shape and has never seen an accident. I like the color and it has nice aftermarket shiny 16" wheels.

 

The only downfall is that it has 177,000 km, (110,000miles) which is on the extreme high side for a 99.

I have a 98 Blazer right now that has 103,000 km, (64,000miles) and has been good to us but it's aftermarket warrenty just expired.

The Tahoe is only $16,000 ($13,140 USD) so it's well within my price range.

 

Would I pretty much be going from a problem to a problem?

If this truck had identical K on it, I'd be all over it.........anyone have a similar vehicle and can offer advice?

[99-2door]

I wouldn't call 110,K on a 99 extremely high

 

That is less then 20K a year.

I regulary see 02s and 03s with over 100K

 

 

 

BTW my 99 has 125K and it runs like a top.

Mine's a 99 'burb with 136,000 miles, and still runs real strong, burns no oil. I'd check for obvious maintenance things like brakes, exhaust, water pump, fuel pump, tranny service etc. Check the 4WD carefully as this can get expensive. Asking price seems on the high side. I paid $13k for mine a year ago with 112,000 miles.

He is talking Canadian $$ so it is about $13K

 

Some areas Tahoes bring a better price than similar Suburbans. Some areas it is the other way around.

Thanks for the replies.

That's some positive info to consider.

 

The only drawback to this vehicle other than the mileage is that it has a dark red interior. Rather took me by surprise at first.........I wonder if that's something a person could get used to.

Yeah the red and blue int. are pretty hideous especially with leather.

If you don't like it now I would pass cause you have to see it everytime you drive the thing.

The light gray and neutral look very nice.

I have a 1999 Chevy Tahoe, red with neutral leather interior. It has 73,600 miles and is in excellent condition. It has a 350 motor, tow package, rear air, etc. I am looking to get $13,000 obo. I also have a truck and trailer that I would be willing to meet half way to deliver the vehicle. If interested contact me at [email protected]. THANKS Curt

I would pass. You could spend a little more and get one below 100,000 miles. It sounds like you don't have to have a new truck right know, so I would wait. Just keep your eyes open, and chances are you'll find a good deal. The only thing about Tahoes are they have a pretty good resale, which is bad for used car shopping. That's my opinion, take it how you want it. Bottom line, it's your money, buy it if you want it.
