I might have found a gem that is about 1/2 mile from my American Legion post

[OR VietVet]

First the KBB price:

https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/tahoe/2005/lt-sport-utility-4d/?category=suv&condition=verygood&intent=buy-used&mileage=145076&options=6477453|true|4118792|true|4119253|true|4119285|true|4119282|false|4119359|true|4119387|true&pricetype=private-party&vehicleid=348687

https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/tahoe...true&pricetype=private-party&vehicleid=348687

Sorry, I posted the wrong KBB for a dealer instead of an individual seller. The first one is for very good condition and the second is for good condition and then the link below for the ad.

Then the link to the ad on Facebook Marketplace:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/284917959208014

He is asking $8500 and says in the ad, "Don't try to low ball me. Come look at it and make an offer".

He is a Vietnam vet like me and he has all paperwork for what his grandson had done at a shop in town and all paper work for recent all synthetic fluids change in the diffs, transfer case and engine.

Looks good! Seems to be well taken care of.

Go get it!

My dad is the Viet Nam vet for our family -- I was born during one of his deployments there.

Going after work tonight. He said would wait till I look at it before selling to anyone else that calls about it. The ad says it has been listed for 15 weeks.

 

[Dantheman1540]

That thing is super clean!

 

[OR VietVet]

If you look close it has a scrape at the rf corner of the front bumper. He said is a scrape and not a dent. It is the lowest mileage I have been able to find in this Z71 set up. He said all steering wheel controls work and all the heater and a/c controls and windows and all works. Has maintenance records. He saw an old Carfax and he is third owner and has spent it's whole life in Oregon, so no rust anywhere.

I am very grateful that @Rocket Man told me about this Facebook Marketplace because this was not listed at CL.

I hope you can get it for a little better price. Looks clean--and great miles too. Good luck Ron

I will feel good about anywhere around $7500, as long as it checks out ok. I just loaded my floor jack, a jack stand, my Tech 2, 2 bright flashlights, a spongy kneel down pad and 2 fender covers in my Tahoe. I am good to go.

Almost forgot, I have $2000 bundles with me too. People like to see those bank wrapped bundles like that and that alone can save me $500.

 

[Bandit-66]

good luck,

for a good price, so you two can be happy

Cash is king!

That's what I am counting. Plus he is on his way today to look at an 2007 Avalanche and I told him about me owning an Avalanche at one time and I told him about this forum. I told him about the 2007 AFM engines and what he should look for because of that. I warned him about the problems and the fix for that. I learned all that here. I also told him about the rear bed covers are prone to leakage if they have not been taken care of. I told him about the cracked dashes. All that will be in his mind and hopefully help me with him giving me some more money off to try and help him. I am going to also remind him of my auto shop background and that I will be available for info processes and even lower labor rate maintenance and repairs that I like to do.

That should help some

Hell, I am even taking my ASE Master Technician and my ASE Service Consultant certifications with me to hopefully sway him about my background. At this point I am going to be a negotiation ****.

Lol, gotta do what ya gotta do.

 

[Mudsport96]

If it was any other color than gold/pewter( just not a color I prefer)I'd ****** it in a heartbeat.
Its half the price of the 06 I bought 3 or 4 years ago. So to me the price is good.

 

[OR VietVet]

I like silver and the dash two tone is Dark and light grey, according to him. I plan to have that scrape fixed and paint the whole thing silver. That light beige color will be easy to cover. I hope.

 

[S33k3r]

So did you buy it?

 

[ivin74]

That is a clean a$$ Z71, did you buy it?

Inquiring minds wanna know...

 

[chadw]

Is him being a fellow vet a plus to you? I cant see how that matters. I mean, i served, and the guys i served with didnt take care of shit.
