I bought a 2002 Avalanche with 202.000 on it when purchased. I bought it for $1000.00. Total after tax/ title was $1,300.00. It did have 2 codes: Knock Sensor and Evap Canister. The Evap Canister took literally 5 minutes; the Knock Sensors were a PITA, not gonna lie. Now it has 220,000 and runs perfectly. Best $1,300.00 I've ever spent!!!

Buy. I have mine 2008. Running good with 230,211 miles. I need under carriage rust removal though.

For those people that don’t know a Chevy Tahoe is a sports utility truck because the cab is not separate from the bed. It’s all one piece and how they made them was they just cut out the third row seating part, removed the roof and made it into a bed so those people that are looking for frames and other parts for the Chevy avalanche look for the same year, and same generation of your avalanche in the suburbans category

Note: I have NEVER replaced the transmission oil on it but I did add a summit transmission cooler at 30,000 miles maybe that’s what kept it rolling. Anyway just pulled the motor and transmission out of it going to get both rebuilt and see how much more I get from it. Has been a great truck for me

I bought an 09 Avalanche last January (12 months ago) it has 139k on it when I bought it has almost 154k on it now....... I overpaid for it (almost 17k) but I love it.......

@@GameTesterDev thank you. Just purchased an 07 LT with 230k miles. I didn’t realize it has the afm, but it runs good. With such miles should a heavier oil be used?

So 3k down and 400 or less (let's say 375) a month for 3 years. 375x36=13,500 plus the 3k down payment. When paid off its $16,500 or more.. for a truck that was 4500 at auction. I need to start a BhPh asap I love the Avalanches though. I have 2 now and one has 235k miles and use it to haul trailers with car on top regularly. Extremely reliable. Great trucks. That 205k is nothing because it was well maintained

The 5.3 goes forever and this Avalanche looks good for as many miles as it has. We love our 2008 but ours has 68,000 miles.
