Hey, 2003 has a new interior as opposed to '02.
Dual climate control, new stereo, steering wheel controls, movable pedals, turn signals in the mirrors. All stuff not in an '02

Try to find one with alot of options, don't settle there are tons out there to choose from. I have an '05 Z71 2x4. Z71's are colormatched ( no chrome bumpers or grill) and generally have a lot of options.

Its all up to your preferences

Just to clear one thing up is it 100K Mileage or 100K Money wise? I'm taking it as 100K mileage..
I would Definitely go with a 2004 or 2005 GMC Yukon Denali its the same size as a Tahoe but its loaded with leather and heated seats if you live up north and its all wheel drive plus it gets the same mileage on the Hi-way and in city as the Tahoe's that are not all wheel drive. On ice the GMC is the safest bet because its all wheel drive. In a Tahoe if you forget to put the 4 wheel drive in you may go sliding for a ride. I have an 04 GMC Yukon XL Denali and I have had no major problems with it besides the auto ride system the pumps up the back shocks if you will be hauling heavy load or towing something otherwise its been perfect. I'm replacing right now on my own for $190 which is a simple replacement. With 6.0L engine you have plenty of power and many options on the inside and I know you wont be disappointed but shop around there maybe a Tahoe you like more or just a Plane GMC Yukon. It all depends on your budget. I own a Custom 1997 Blazer that has custom paint and interior. It has the 4.3 Vortec and the Yukon has the 6.0 Vortec and its like night and day the blazer has to downshift to go up a hill which is very annoying and the Yukon XL Denali a larger vehicle goes up the hill with ease plus it gets better mileage than my blazer. It all depends what your needing. If you want the 3 row seating with a lot of extra space in the back go with the GMC Yukon XL Denali. But if you wont need the 3rd row seating the Regular Denali has that but with little room but the third seat can be pulled out for more room. My choice would be a GMC over a Chevy any day because they have more options. But at the end of the day its what your most happiest with. Test Drive each one your looking for and make your decision from that. Its all about what you prefer in an automobile. Take Care and I wish you luck on your decision.

Just to clarify yes something under 100k miles and under $7000. Really Ieaning towards the 2003-2005 Tahoe lt loadedd. So I would just apprreciate some common repairs/maintenance items/recalls for theese trucks.
