Hello, newbie here.
We obtained a 99 LT Tahoe at a local auction a month ago. It was in fair condition, which means the previous owners did NOT take care of it. The paint appeared to have never been waxed in years with some cracking. Also, the interior was so hogged up, it stunk pretty bad so we had to pay a detailer to clean it up. He could not even get out all the stains. The heated seat on the driver's side does not work, except for it did come on one time and that was it. Plus the horn doesn't work. Any suggestions on how to fix these issues?
BTW, the right side view mirror was smashed, and the first day I drove this tahoe, the drivers side mirror fell OFF and I had to put the window down and hold it up while I drove (was afraid it would smash up against the truck breaking that and splattering that green liquid). So, I took heavy clear tape when I got home and taped it back in place :Frustrated:
It is unbelievable how some people take care of vehicles. Any how, I plan on keeping this vehicle for a year then upgrading to a GMC yukon (need a truck like this for family vehicle and to pull a horse trailer). As to the GMC Yukon, I know those have larger engines. Are there any other differences of the GMC Yukon to the Tahoe?
How we got started with tahoes, we bought our first new one in 1998. Then in 2005, we bought an LT ming blue tahoe with sun roof. I loved that tahoe and miss it dearly. Unfortunately when the economy crashed, we lost big time income and were forced to sell the 05.
BTW, I am female and the sort of mechanic of the family (husband is not very mechanical). I have also 1988 Dodge Daytona which I have had since it's brand new (I am on another forum just for daytonas and lasers).
