Hi,
I have a 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid that is not driveable due to collapsed lifters and a couple other issues, including that a deer decided to do some bodywork on the left front corner around the same time. I guess when it pours it rains.
I bought it in 2018 and got to drive it for all of 2 months before it ate itself. Insurance didn't cover, and dealer bill was more than I paid for it, so I took quite a loss on it. I'm looking to recover what I can and move on. Since it's not driveable I'm thinking of parting it out.
Any suggestions on which parts are practical to part out, and potential buyers? I'm thinking specifically of the HV battery which I assume is of more interest to resellers/reconditioners than to end customers, but open for ideas on other parts also.
I was able to keep the HV battery charged for about 18 mos after the lifter issue (the engine would start, but ran very rough), but for the last 6 months it's sat idle, and I don't know how that affects the HV battery and whether it's still of value to a reconditioner or not.
Thanks
