now that I have my new c7 and realized I rarely will be driving my c5z anymore decided to sell it.

I also recently changed my job/life situation again and having an SUV/truck would be a good idea.

I trust GM products more than any other brand, plus I am familar with their motors and they are easy to work on.

Would you buy a 2009+ tahoe, denali, escalade, etc; with 80-120k miles on it ? I work at a shop so I can fix whatever for cost n no labor. Just curious what everyones thoughts are/opinions. I also get bored of things fast so getting a higher mileage one would lessen my potential hit in the future.

I am really jus thinking out loud to be honest. Input is welcome especially first hand experience if you own one of these !

thanks !

If it's a clean, well maintained truck then sure. My buddy has a Chevy pick up with over 400K miles. I had an '07 with 335K on it and was like new until a chick ran a red light and totaled it.

ya my buddy that i work with has a 4.8 silverado with 230 on it he got it with 200 i think

its so interesting how you could buy one of these with that high mileage and be fine yet if you go near a range rover, or anything british or german with higher than 50k (and your not the original owner) your asking for trouble

2006 Special Service Vehicle 4X4 Tahoe (X State trooper) 161K. No problems and runs great.

Great trucks.

If you find one that didn't haul workers or kids, it will likely look like new inside.

My 05 1/2 ton has 190K and my 99 Tahoe has 174K no major problem with either.

If you are looking at a high mileage SUV, I would get a 3rd gen toyota 4runner. The things are bullet proof

I bought an 05 Tahoe LT 4 years ago with 105k. It now has 169k and has been very dependable.

It depends on who was driving the vehicle you are thinking about buying..we take care of our vehicles and don't absurd them. However, even then vehicles break down and need repairs of course. Check the vehicle's history on what you are thinking about purchasing as you don't want a salvaged vehicle title IMO.

We have a 2002 Trailblazer LTZ with 217,000 miles on it that we bought brand new and a 2009 Silverado that we bought new and it has about 52,000 miles on it now.We recently had to have transmission work done on the Trailblazer and that cost us over 2k. However, since you can work on vehicles, I say go for it!
