This pristine '97 Tahoe has been through a major resto/upgrade that cost over $13,000. Car Fax documents good service history and 126k original miles, less than 4500 miles per year. Hard to find one this clean. Comes with original owner’s manual and two key fobs.

Sold new in 1997 from Chevy dealer to first owner in Austin, TX. Has lived in Arizona since November 2004. Stock drive train and suspension, with a two-inch professional drop in front.

I focus on curating and restoring extremely clean, original, low mileage cars with excellent ownership history. I have restored 8 first generation Tahoes and have watched them rise in value over the last few years. Now’s the time.
