Thoughts on this Tahoe Z71 please!

[laballer05]

Hey all,
I have been looking to buy a Chevy Tahoe Z71 lately and think I might have found one that fits my budget. Owner has agreed to negotiate price a little more which I think would be great... I've passed up on a lot of other offers with the price being in the $5000-6000 range but this just seems like it works...
Interior looks to be an 8/10 also..

$4300, 160K miles.
Any recommendations when taking a look at the car or test driving it?

Looks nice for the money. Just check the usual stuff. Balljoints, all the windows,door locks,wipers etc.... Test drive and make sure shifts fine and doesn't over heat or anything funny

Here's a good thread of what else to look for as well.

Big thing for 4wd is take it to a dirt lot and test it out by spinning the tires and seeing how it engages. Do a brake check. Shift through all the gears.

Also why do I wanna see those tail light covers on led tails. Maybe smoked

2 things i would take a look at as i have basically the same truck. 1, if you can bring a code reader and see if there are any stored codes. 2, ask about the fuel pump. i myself have not replaced mine. but i feel like im on borrowed time with the one thats in there.

take it to your mechanic and have the coolant system pressure checked. that will rule out cracked heads, leaking intake gaskets (both are common problems). Have the mechanic look for leaks under motor, transmission, transfer case, rear and front axles.Check the engine oil, transmission fluid for clarity. When you turn the key to the on position, does the check engine light illuminate?
