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!!!

Love this truck I bought a 2006 with about 225,000 miles for $2500 total and that was well worth so I can definitely agree it made more than triple that back in a few months but it got wrecked now so I’m looking for one to replace it

[@kftc1980]

That’s a steal. Weighing the bargain option of one of these, Vs. the more expensive option of an 05-06 Tundra. Third vehicle, won’t be driven a lot, makes me willing to give a little in the reliability department.

[@mikes1277]

Here is a truck I don't even know the features of, let me tell you about it. Come and buy it.

[@jasonfreeland]

Lol that was a little cringe worthy. Everyone watching has probably searched for "Chevy Avalanche" and already know about the "midgate". But I've seen it a couple times from these dealer KZbin vids.

That's the goal. Buying used vehicles from people that don't know their actual worth... I got a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado short bed with only 79,000 miles a couple months ago for only $2,200... Damn thing is in PERFECT condition... She was basing her price off of the year, not the actual item. Same thing happened to my brother bought a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 with 61,000 miles from this old lady for $3,900 about 6 weeks ago.

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

[@RandomLBS]

a well maintained Suburban/Tahoe will last 300,000-400.000 miles. The Avalanche is basically just a Suburban with the back end cut off. Around $10,000 for one that has been cared for is a great deal.
