Question about buying a 2011 Tahoe
Posted on 7/25/16 at 10:46 am

I went and test drove a 2011 Chevy Tahoe LT with 96k miles at a dealership. It is a one owner, accident free vehicle and they are asking $24,865. I like it, but I'm hesitant to buy a used vehicle with no warranty for this much. I want a full size SUV that I can eventually tow with and the wife prefers Tahoes and Yukons. I've followed Will Cover's guide and checked most of the resources online, but I'd like the opinion of you guys.
So with that:
How is the reliability on these?
Is this priced right? Realistically, I would like an OTD price of $23,000 if possible.

No fricking way. Maybe an LTZ for that price, that's way too much for a 2011 LT. I looked at a certified 2012 Suburban LT with 77k miles for $23k about a year ago. The one you're looking at is way overpriced.

I have a 2011 with about 60k miles on it. It's an LT. Not going to lie, it hasn't lived up to the price tag. I had the cracked dash (which was replaced under warranty). I've had a few things go out wayyyy too early (changing a daytime running lamp is a BITCH). I've got the paint coming off the buttons for the AC and radio. Good bit a rattling. And we treat the vehicle pretty well. I'm not surprised to see the price around there when a new one is going to cost you 50k, but I think I'm shying away from them for my next purchase (even if they have updated). And I've always driven chevy.

Price seems a little much. I paid $22500 for an 07 LT 4 years back with about 80k on it.
Dash was cracked in mine in the same place and also above the steering wheel, that can cause some rattling issues. You can get a dash cover on ebay for between $100-200.
Learn how to clean the throttle body and that can save you some money down the road. Chevy has an issue with that on a lot of their trucks.

Their reliability is good. Have them replace/repair cosmetic damage before you buy.
The used prices are high on 2008-2010 models because the new vehicle sales those years were low industry-wide for trucks....creating a supply constraint for used trucks today.
I had a 2007 model Chevy Silverado and it was the best vehicle I've ever owned.

Price is too high.
Solid drivetrain.
Check all power locks to be sure they work. Check outside door handles to be sure they are firmly and correctly attached. Listen for any unusual noises near front wheels as hubs are a known issue.
Offer 21, which will be 23 OTD.
I would be clear that this is a final offer.
