    Advice on rust + install found on 2010 Tahoe underside

    PM incoming. I'm pretty set on color and trim. Only because I tend to buy a vehicle and drive it into the ground. So making sure that I get exactly what I am looking for. That tahoe is the standard silver and not the dark gray which is annoyingly difficult to find. I'm willing to spend the...

    Advice on rust + install found on 2010 Tahoe underside

    I'd never ask people to help but if you're offering, I sure as hell won't turn that down! I'm looking for an 09-14 Tahoe Z71 in the gunmetal gray they call it "dark gray with Tungsten Metallic" or something like that. I'd prefer lighter interior to the more common 'ebony' but I'm fine with...

    Advice on rust + install found on 2010 Tahoe underside

    Agreed, I'd had custom vehicles before, you never recoup the cost of those mods unless you sell private party to someone who actually wants it that way. The dealership claimed to 'only be making $1300 as the price is listed now'. Which would mean they paid dealer book for it. BS They were...

    Advice on rust + install found on 2010 Tahoe underside

    Thank you so much everyone. The status of that Tahoe is that the dealership is asking $1300 OVER book price. I offered book minus $2k which is the quotes I was given to sandblast and coat the underside (~900) and work for the suspension (replace the struts which have a ~40k mile life as well...

    Thank you for the post, I think that I'm gonna do exactly this. Just low-ball the shit out of the place to hopefully get a good deal. And thank you to everyone that posted here. I'll take before/after pics if I buy it (I'm like 90% sure I will if there's no surprises).

    Any idea what htey charge for that? Even a ballpark price would be good. I googled it but it's all over the place.

    It is pretty clean. I just gotta decide if that rust is worth dealing with. If so, tehn I'm treking 3.5 hours to go look at it. :)

    Agreed, I'd much rather get something cleaner. This is the first one I found with sub 80k miles in a long time though. :(

    Yikes, ok. Yeah the rust in the pics I saw previously didn't look as bad b/c of the lighting. That's why I came to post here to see what you guys say. I've been struggling to find a 09-14 z71 in that charcoal gray. When I found this one with low mileage, I was stoked.

    I haven't haggled with them yet. They are asking book price b/c it only has 43k miles. I plan on pointing everything out I've learned on here and from general homework. If I get it, I'd certainly work on rust removal and then sealer (like por 15/rustbullet type thing).

    Got some more pics of the rust I was asking about. This time with better lighting and the wheels off. Adding to the main post as well: https://imgur.com/a/eLSzI

    Advice on rust + install found on 2010 Tahoe underside

    Yeah that was my thinking, $1k to sell the wheels/tires seem like a waste vs just getting the wheels powder coated and running the tires until new tred is needed and then maybe getting a new setup then. Also could look into re-gearing. From what I've read that should be about $900. Which...

    Advice on rust + install found on 2010 Tahoe underside

    I'm not near the truck now and going to look at it (and likely buy it) on Saturday. Here's a close up from a video I got from the seller: https://imgur.com/a/8RbyF I don't think the condition is great. Looks pretty pitted to me. What do you think? If I could sell them and the tires and get...
