Is it worth $29500

[Williamsimons73]

Dealership by me is selling a 2013 Tahoe lt texas edition with 31747 miles and has a couple damage reports on carfax that are minor. The ac is having issues as well but said it was a deal breaker unless fixed. Looked at the car in person can see the radiator brace on top has been replaced. Other than that a clean car but they want $29500 after licensing and fees. It’s a one owner with a lot of service records as well. Is it worth it?

Lots of people place a high premium on super low mileage, but in my experience that 31,000 miles could’ve been done 1 mile at a time per trip. At that point, it’s going to have all kinds of problems long before it reaches 100,000 miles. in the current market, these things cannot demand that kind of price anymore. I would sooner have one with 131,000 miles on it for half the price or less.

Yeah all I thought about was the low miles and not about sitting for long periods of time too. Going to try and low ball and see what happens. Thanks

It’s new territory for a Tahoe that’s not been encapsulated and in like new condition. The NNBS is still undervalued but this may soon change.

It’s a $2.7k upgrade package that didn’t allow a lot of other features to be added like the z71 or LTZ offered. This week it’s over market price. Next week, who knows?

IMO, the wreck stuff worries me, because the low mileage things to look at, I would pick apart when I inspect it. I just do not like previously wrecked vehicles. Higher mileage I can deal with but wrecked before, not me.

Welcome to the forum, if I have not said it already.

so you guys are starting to come to reality that the car market already crashed?

i already knew about this several months ago

No. I’ve been tracking it through my neighbor who is a buyer for CarMax at auctions for a few years now.

This is a good point and I agree.

OP you might be able to get a better idea of this if you go see the vehicle in person again and it has an option to go through the DIC and look at the engine hours?

Way overpriced, offer 21 k

 

[intheburbs]

That's lunacy. Maybe worth $20k.

Tahoes are a dime a dozen, even a "rare" trim level.

And even with that low mileage, price is still way out of line.

This is one of the things I was explaining to my daughter. It's low miles yes but ten year old weather stripping, paint and many other things that age can affect just as much as use.

 

[petethepug]

It’s not the miles, it’s the age and how the environment microscopically eats things. Essentially, everything breaks down chemically over time, especially when on the road or the sun, rain, salt, ice, etc.

Case in point. December, my girl and I bought a 2002 TrailBlazer with 70k miles on it. The body was great and no dents and no wrecks on CarFax.

But: Water pump was leaking, driver's door panel grab handle was broken, 3 of 4 speakers did not work, fluids had never been changed, one tire was different than the other 3 tires, rear hatch struts were shot, the cargo cover screen was missing, had an intermittent "no crank" problem and the fuel filter was clogged. I have taken care of each one of these and I did negotiate a fair price with all this in mind. I drove it home, before purchase, and put up on ramps and did a complete inspection.

crashes, replaced core support at only 30k miles and the ac doesn't work?

yeah nah. my 0.02 cents is I wouldn't touch this thing if I was in the the market. I gotta think for that money you can find other interesting things.

a dealer is asking 30k for a wrecked 2013 that the ac doesn't doesn't work on and will probably get it. what on earth makes you think the market has crashed?

you just don't get it do you.... Still living in fantasyland on lollipop lane i'm sure you have the gum drop house as well..... it's not worth 30,000$ Bad maintenance history...


It has not even had an oil change since 10/30/2021 Yeah that oil is garbage most likely fuel and water contaminated .... Highly surprised it hasn't completely blown it self apart (some do turn into wet toilet paper or rust out.)


This is the SUV the OP is talking about

all you just posted just makes the point the market hasn't crashed.. sure things are going to slowly turn around as dealers get new cars in and start making deals again, lot more meat on the bone to juggle the numbers around on new inventory when stock is high. somewhere in 2024 when the feds pivot and start to lower interest rates, banks will start cutting good deals monthly payment wise and used prices will fall, because new ones are eaiser to buy. but none of that is actually a crash, consider it a market correction at best. A crash would they get priced less than what they were before all this nonsense happened.

unless this dealer is completely out of touch, which they don't stay in business long if they are. he's going to get pretty close to asking price for this. things are worth what they sell for, not what you think they should sell for.

I just got a quote for a car port. $22k, 3 years ago at the middle of covid when limber as 60$ for a 2x4. that same car port was 8500. wood cost has returned to mostly normal, the Mexicans building it aren't getting paid any more money and if they are it's a few bucks, that 200% mark up is straight profit and until people stop spending, it's not going to go down. we are pretty far from a crash, unless our definitions of a crash are completely different than mine.

that you think a 08 hybrid with a dead battery is worth 13k, also having been driven on that bad battery for the last 5 years, which is just hell on the tranny means you don't believe the market has crashed as well. I wouldn't offer you 5k for it, I'd be afraid you'd accept it. and I find the trucks interesting lol.
