1996 Chevy Tahoe two door.  This Tahoe is in excellent condition for its age and mileage. We bought this Tahoe from an Arizona dealer in 2008.  We believe it was a California vehicle before coming to its current home in Arizona. It has always been well taken care of and serviced regularly.  It starts and runs perfectly and is very reliable.  All accessories work, cold A/C, cruise control, 4x4.  JCV HD Head unit with 400 watt Alpine amp, Pyle sub woofer box in back. This truck rides smooth and is comfortable to drive.

Items recently replaced / rebuilt:

  • New battery in mid 2012
  • New Radiator
  • Transmission rebuilt in late 2011 - less than 3,000 miles since rebuild
  • New A/C compression, dryer and condenser early 2011

Items of interest and full disclosure:

  • Tires will need to be replaced soon
  • There is a small engine oil leak towards the rear of the engine.  Doesn't leave a puddle, but several drops after sitting overnight.
  • As you can see in the pictures, there are some small rust areas on the roof near the luggage rack attaching points.  These are the only areas of rust I have seen on the entire truck.  Not sure if this area is prone to rust or not.  Being in Arizona, rust isn't an issue.
  • The steering wheel isn't perfectly centered. This occurred when a local shop replaced the tie rod ends and failed to center the wheel. It is just a little off to one side instead of being centered when you are driving in a straight line. 
  • The driver seat is power and it is weak. Moves very slowly and sometimes needs assistance.
  • The passenger door power window switch does not work, however, the switch on the driver door for the passenger window works fine.
  • Window tint on the rear side windows is starting to peel as noted in the pictures
  • When turning sharp left, there is sometimes a clunking noise.  This doesn't happen frequently and is probably a CV joint on the front axle but would need to be examined to be sure.
  • Paint on hood is starting to spider. You can't see it in the pictures.  This is very minimal.

This is a fun truck that could be used as a daily driver. I would feel comfortable jumping in this truck and taking it anywhere.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
