tahoe or yukon either one. I'm not looking for it to last me for the next ten years, just a good few years without any major problems. I'm used to having hondas that have lasted forever but I'm ready for an SUV. And I don't wanna hear anything about other car options I just wanna know about the tahoe or yukon. I'm not a mechanic but I know a little more than average about cars so I'm aware that it depends on how the car was taken care of and maintenance records and all that. So assuming the car had it's routine maintenance and was taken care of properly, is 80,000-100,000 miles too many miles for $10-$12k. Thanks.

I would not buy it. You said you had Hondas, why dont you look up for Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander? They might not be as big but they can be a bit more religable.

I don't know the price range for that car but 100,000 miles is about average for a 2001 vehicle. Since the car is 7 years old (we're in to the 2008 model season now) that's just a bit over 14K per year which is average or a bit under average. As to the price, try http://www.nadaguides.com/ where you can get the average retail and wholesale prices. As to how many miles a car will last it's hard to say. I purchased an '84 Olds Cutlass Ciera used, with 50,000 miles, and drove it until it was close to the 300,000 mile mark. I never replaced anything except an alternator and the AC compressor but I religiously kept up with preventative maintenance. Especially Oil and Filter changes, Coolant changes, brake fluid flushes and wash and wax jobs. I have had a lot better luck driving American Autos for 10 or more years than I have Japanese or European. I could get the same life span from the foreign jobs but at a far greater expense.

These vehicles are good for at least 200K miles if maintained properly. Even if some systems began going bad after awhile it's much cheaper to replace a water pump or alternator on a GM than a Honda. I'd do some checking on the price though -- 12K seems really steep for a seven year old Yukon with 100+ miles.

Nope not at all, as long as it's been well taken care of and the oil is changed and everything else. Because my dad has a 99 Mercedes and it has about 133,369 miles on and it's still running and looking like it was new so there u go!!

the life of the motor or transmission may be more than half gone at 100,000 miles so if the truck is in great shap and you only want another couple of years or say 40-50k go for it but if you want another 100,000 dont count on it without engine or transmission problems

Wow, I don't know, check out the Blue book listing, That's a lot of miles and a lot would be on how those miles were put on.

Thats a six 365 days previous motor vehicle. sounds like too lots, particularly for the time of in the present day and time while they are in a position to't provide those suv's away! furnish them 9,500. they could take it, if no longer in user-friendly terms stroll away!

ANY mileage is too high for a chevy.
