It’s a 2005 Z71 Tahoe, body has 205k miles on it and it and the interior are in fantastic shape. All electric everything works, heated seats and ice cold air. Motor and transmission have been replaced by a very experienced mechanic whom we both know and trust. Motor has 128k miles and trans has around 55k miles on it. Has a set of Toyo MTs on it with less than 3k miles on them. Says he wants $6k for it but would give it to me for $5k. He’s driven it to work every day since he had all the work done to it so it seems to be reliable. What say ye Aldeer? Run away or jump on it? Anything I should look for or ask about it?

For a woods vehicle I would want manual locks, windows, I also think that motor and transmission should have lasted longer especially on a pre “Flex Fuel” vehicle. Personally I would be looking for a 96-99 Tahoe if that’s what you are wanting.

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. Bluetick serpentines around green fields and rock spit a lease
