The 2005 sounds nice..It is awesome you have the maintenance on it!! I see so many people buy vehicles without service records then find out they bought a sludge monster.

it is a 2002 Tahoe..First owner drove around 40000 miles in 3 Years..also with full maintenance ( because of the warrenty ) the second owner drove just a little with the car within 12 years. The funny thing..I know the owner of the dealership . He told me that the last owner was a little crazy - whenever he drove to the dealer to have the car maintenanced...he sat besides the car on a camping chair. Just to control the work of the mechanics.. Every year he let do the "full programm" maintenance also when he only drove 1500 miles
in a year. The car recived 12 Oil changes in this time ( always Mobil 1 ) 2 tranny and 2 axle /transfercase oilchanges.
The brake fluid was changed yearly also. the coolant was replaced ( according to the records) 2 times

I remembered how cool it was seeing an American car on the Autobahn when I stationed in Germany in the mid 80's.

yes..there are super rare here in Europe. But I think I the US there are also not many of them...l
If I look at Hemmings or Ebay motors 70 -74 Challys are quite rare. Most of them died.....because of the rust:(

I was stationed in Aschaffenburg back 1985-1990 there was a Corvette/Tri5 Chevys and Jeeps CJ-7s clubs in town.

Those guys were very passionate about their car/trucks.

Nice Dodge Juergen!

over here nearly all owners of US cars take care of their rides. I think it is because these cars are something special . Who drives a US car will never go back to another car. Because of so much reasons...
from the faboulus engines..over the comfort ..to the reliability. and of course the value ! A 1998 Tahoe for example is still a car that brings around 8-10 k Euros if it is for sale.
2005 Mustang.. in good cond. 17-20 k euros...
