What would you guys pay for a loaded LT 1997 Tahoe, leather, 60 000 Miles, blue, no accidents and not rebuilt.
What is the most you would pay or what are they worth in this condition.

depends what condition the seats are, if it was a smokers car, if there are any dings/scratches or if the body is solid clean but if its good and theres no SES light then probably between 3,900-5,000 (Cash)

the seats are in very good condition with no rips but regular crease wear.
There are the normal tiny scratches near the door handle but not distinctive or significant.
The owner is not a smoker and there i was searching for rust under, wheel wells, trailer hitch, bumper and engine area and found none.
The left side wheel well, on that chrome strip there are two door dings but thats not a big deal, and one of the centre caps is missing.
As far as the SES light, i have not driven the rig yet but just judging from well maintained Tahoe of this year, how much would you pay.

Thank you for your input.

1 If its 4x4 and it has the push button switches get into (N) neutral and test the 4-hi/4-lo 2. check tranny fluid and when driving it pay close attention and see if theres any slipping or taking too long to change from 1st gear to 2nd these trucks are prone to tranny faliure mainly because of age and people not doing the tune-up on time 3.How much would i pay: well look this truck is a 97' that's 15 years OLD so in the condition it is in i would pay 5,200 max atleast thats what (Kelly Blue Book) says if its in (Great Condition)

This truck is 4x4.
The owner is selling for too high of a price, it is low milage for this year but you are right, it is a 15 year old truck.
I don't know how long the truck has been sitting for if at all in the past but i know it has been sitting for at least 6 months. If the truck is sitting, is damage to the transmission just as high as using it as a daily driver.

How many miles on your truck and have you had any problems?
how many miles did you buy it at and how many have you placed on it so far?
