Would you buy it?

I’m looking for an 18/19 Tahoe, and came across one in town. It’s a 2018 Premier 4x4, 6.2L engine, 10 speed transmission, the LCD screen instrument cluster (hadn’t seen that before), pretty much every amenity I’m aware of that existed that year. CarFax shows oil was changed every 7,000 miles without miss. Transmission fluid changed at 50,000 miles. Coolant changed at 58,000 miles. Currently has new tires (a Goodyers Wrangler variety I can’t quite make out in the pics).

The two knocks on it are that it has 108,000 miles, and was in a moderate accident per CarFax. Hit a light pole, front end. And, current asking price at the Chevy dealership is $49,975.

It would become my daily driver, the vehicle our family takes trips in, etc. What‘s the group think on this one?

No I would not, it’s pricey even by current values and it’s not a cream puff.

The price to mile ratio to me is just insane. I know you’ll easily get another 200 out of it but it’s just too high for me.

No way. I would pay about 35

Been in an accident with a pole and too high mileage for that year, pass!!!!!!!! That is a rip off price.

The Mileage does NOT scare me as I have almost 120K miles on mine and have zero plans on selling it. The Pole hit scares me and the ridiculous price does...Just like the others said.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Much appreciated. Due to how the Tahoes locally are priced, it didn’t seem that out of line. But the accident worried me. I saw a 2019 LS Midnight edition with 43,000 miles, two hours from here, priced at $48,000. There’s at 2019 LT nearby, also 43,000 miles, priced at $47,500. So all the 18/19’s near me are in the upper 40K range. which does seem high.

Google the VIN and see if the accident photos show up, maybe. Prices are high right now, so high, a new one might be a better deal.

With that many miles, I reckon they are highway miles and not Uber or limousine miles. Get the engine hours and do the math. Highway miles are a 1/10 of city miles as far as wear and tear goes.

Those last two are not as nicely optioned but much lower mileage. Those seem like much better deals than almost 50K for a rig with over 100K on it.

I passed on the 2018 Premier. Too high a price, too big an unknown with the accident. Thinking about the 2019 LS Midnight now.
