2talltim Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Well i fianally bit the bullet and got me a truck(sort of) a 2005 Tahoe 4x4..i wasnt really (for say) ready to buy yet, but it was such a sweet deal i could not pass on it. Its got 90k miles but in damn near "perfect" shape inside and out and has bacsiclly every option offered, for the price of $12400. One owner, local trade(small town).Its the first vehicle i have bought for me in over 12 years(wifey always gets the newer ones), so i guess i should retire the ol 98 grand am ive been driving. I was going to trade it in but they were only going to give me $400 and said they would just scrap it:lol: ill keep it around for a beater, it still runs good.My wife is already trying to steal it from me saying the impala is mine(HELL NO!!!)

Nice ride.Accually im not sure if I have a different engine than u shawn but the sticker said 17city 21hiway...and the computer average mpg gage from the previous owner said it averaged 18.2, it has the 5.3 vortec in it. The previous owner has never reset any of the computer things, it says it has used 5100 gal of gas in its life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you draft a semi in your Tahoe you can actually get 28-29mpg lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
