Tell him to give you a price. Making someone submit an offer is BS. Especially in your situation because you don't want to offend the guy

So "Suburban" and "gets good gas mialiage" are not two things that go together. Whichever engine the Suburban is running, it still has to push 1,000 to 1,500 pounds more down the road than a Tahoe. So expect poor, and get excited if it is higher than that. I mean, YMMV.

That said, unless I start to starve, I'll continue to feed my Suburban which has WORSE than poor MPG.

Back in 06 I drove one like it and it got good economy unless my ideas of good is far off I'd drive 70 miles to near towns on a 1/4 of a tank if I was reading gauge correctly ,so round trip loaded then unloaded bout half tank or less depending on cruise control

If that is your criteria, then I think you will be very happy. Mine, specifically, has the optional, secondary tank. That will get me between 400 and 450 miles, easy (in town!).

If it's as cherry as you say with a good body and good interior, $4k - $5k is not a bad price.

As far as MPG goes, mine gets decent MPG if I am (a) driving on long highways and (b) not pulling a trailer. I drove from Denver to Craig, CO (210 miles away) and back in 2017 to pick up a motorcycle sidecar (which fit in the back with plenty of room to spare.) My MPG for the trip was 18.5, hand calculated. Put another way, the 420 mile round trip used about 3/4 of a tank (about 22 gallons.)

Driving in town is a killer because every time you stop you then have to get nearly 3 tons of metal moving again. Pulling the trailer (20' travel trailer, 3500#) similarly kills MPG.
