IMO, 7k for a truck with nearly 200k miles is not worth it. dont get me wrong, these trucks can last for a very long time. i just think the price is too much for the miles on it.

i find 01-06 tahoes around here for about 6k with way less miles on it. maybe it could be the area im in compared to yours, the average price of these could be different.

my wifes 2002 tahoe has 148k on the clock, and havent had any major problems within the 4 years we have owned it (77k miles when we bought it), just the gas gauge, starter, and front suspension changed in those 4 years. these are some very dependable trucks if you ask me, but it would be nice to find one with around 150k miles. driving 8k miles a year will get you nearly 5-6 more years of life out of it compared to one with nearly 200k miles.

heres one i found in LA area (not sure where that is from you)

$5800, 158k miles, 3rd row seat..
