Hello all,

I have been looking at purchasing another Tahoe or Yukon and in my price range have mostly been looking at 2010-2012 models. Last night I ran across a 2017 Tahoe that looks brand new but has 200k miles on it. VERY competitive price. Somehow the Carfax is completely blank except for yearly registration. I didn’t plan on getting one with that kind of mileage but the options on it and the price are making me think. It is located cross country from me so I would have to buy it without driving it and have it shipped to me. Is this something I should stay away from?

A gambler wouldn’t take the bet because it seems like a 50-50. It could be either the best deal or the worst deal. Chances are that with the interior well-maintained the drivetrain would also be well-maintained. At 100K miles per year, this was driven significant distances every day. As others have stated, it was used for business pickup/delivery, personnel shuttle or a rental. There should be maintenance records and a clean Car Fax. Without them, it’s like tossing a coin to find out if you’re a winner or loser.

And an additional significant cost is the transportation of with you going on a trip to get it or having it shipped. My advice from here in New Jersey is to “fagetaboutit!”

It’s just outside Seattle Washington. It’s a Z71 midnight edition and it’s loaded with everything except rear bucket seats which I don’t mind. They have it priced at $16,900. I don’t normally buy stuff like this, but this thing is beautiful. Miles are high, but price is also great for what it is.
Seems like a high asking price to me, considering the miles on it. I'd try to buy it around $10K or less...

I wouldn't be worried about the miles, but not being able to see it in person and take it for a test drive would scare me more. They always look better in the pics than in person.

Miles would not scare me either but I must ALL service records and have it checked out by a good independent mechanic [or a dealer with excellent service reviews] before buying it. Buying sight unseen would not work for me.

Could look around too. I just found a jet black 2016 Tahoe 4x4 139,000 miles ex-police, CLEAN, for $10.9 USD.

Found another ex police but this one is extra nice with an LT interior (auto climate control) and nice wheels. 118,000 miles. Asking $19.

Thanks for all the replies. I tried getting in touch with the dealer a few times with no success so I decided to pass.

police cruisers tend to have heavy wear and tear since it's stop,go and idle
= lower price

Most police stations will allow in person transaction with officer present. If they are a scammer they won’t show. Just call ahead and ask the station.
