How much is a clean, zero rust 2004 Tahoe 5.3L AWD with 140k really worth?

[dogememe]

I recently bought this because I had grand plans for it and remembered how much I loved GMT400s and GMT800s years ago before jumping on the EV train but now... it just feels like a slow gas guzzler and I just don't really need it. Problem is I have no idea what to price it at.

Issues I will fix before selling are a clicky blend door and two bad TPMS sensors and if pick-n-pull has a decent part I might fix the control panel thing on the passenger seat that's taped on. Otherwise it's in good condition. No it's not perfect and there are scuffs here and there given that it is 20+ years old, the edges of the headliner are coming down a tiny bit, etc. but beyond minor cosmetics it's hard to find these in such clean shape. I think when this was new they ticked almost every option?

It's probably the worse time to sell it, assuming this whole war/oil situation will eventually end. Your best bet is to sell it when that happens-assuming you don't need the cash.

Like where I'm at in Texas.....Zero rust doesn't mean anything when all vehicles are zero rust. With fuel high like it is, People won't be knocking your door down.

Probably a really bad time to sell something like that given what West coast gas prices are right now. Around here economy vehicles are what on everyone's mind.

 

[Oillover]

Bad time to sell, given oil prices and fuel consumption.

Also a great time to sell, as reliable (and easy to service/maintain) used vehicles are in high demand!

don't use Facebook Marketplace (lots of chaff for a few solid leads). find a buyer via the ol' fashioned ways: word of mouth, advert on a bulletin board in a library/church/VFW hall, etc.

Even ones that get 12mpg in city driving?

Great idea fixing the TPMS sensors, those are under $10 each on eBay now. People hate dash lights and assume the worst, because if they could get fixed cheap, they'd be fixed already.

Might consider cleaning up those headlights too, they look yellow from that angle in the photo.

That truck would sell in Maine, we love them here and yours is in great shape. We have stubborn people who are still looking for a good copy of their last car. What's it worth? Maybe 10-12k? Price high and work your way down with time.

We sold our 04 about 4 years ago. Had 180k on it. Ran good cold ac etc. I started @$4500 and kept dropping it until it sold for $1500.

If I lived near you, I would probably buy that! I wouldn’t mind a clean GMT800 Tahoe / Suburban or GMC version.

You have the skill to easily find what these are selling for in your market. Doesn't matter what it sells for in Phoenix or Pittsburgh. You just bought it not long ago, I'd consider getting out of it for what you paid a win. More than you paid a minor miracle. If you want out of it you get the most you can and don't look back.

Around here at least anything true 4wd has a floor price if its in good shape. I would say around $5K due to that, assuming it will pass emissions or whatever else you have in California.

As for gas prices were still below the price just a few years ago and well below the all time high's adjusted for inflation. I doubt someone buying a full size 4wd SUV is buying it to commute.

In the end its whatever the buyer and seller agree to, and you won't know until you list it.

 

[Lyman]

I'd love to have one of those. One of the most comfortable SUVs made IMHO. To bad gas is $6/gal right now.

 

[4wd]

Yeah, our 2005 Yukon had better seats than our 2022 Tahoe - but ride quality, quiet cabin, performance, safety, and MPG - all favor the newer unit …

 

[burbguy82]

They are one of the best SUVs ever made......I might argue the best of all, 2003-2006 Burb and tahoes.......but the value also would include maintenance records and suspension component tightness and paint, and tires

Assuming it was well oiled and tight, I would give $8000 for it today....with the paint issues and 50% tires..........9-9.5k with new proper tires and no big flaws in paint and body.

Without records and such, I would pass, or offer way less, 5k maybe

IMO

Here in NC/SC, we call something like that a deer hunter's/sportsman special (with all due respect) someone would buy and keep at a hunting camp. Solid, clean 4WD vehicle with a tow hitch to pull your boat or ATV. Don't under estimate what you have.

PS- Factory tow package? ++

You're being diplomatic.
What's it worth in your town?

According to Iseecars.com and guessing on the config, $7954.

I check used vehicle lots around my area and am surprised at how low nice old trucks sell for. The big dealerships put them in the back of the lot at a low price and if they don't sell in a couple weeks they throw them out to the auction house.

Dont see many that clean around here.
