Very hard to find, one owner, low 84k miles (3800 miles per year), extraordinary condition, clean Car Fax showing no accidents. A Tahoe typically gets beat up pretty bad after 22 years, but this example has glossy original paint, pristine interior, and clean undercarriage. Car was purchased new from Chevy dealer in Modesto, California. Afterwards, lived majority of its life in Arizona. ​

​

Before restoration, I pushed the car pretty hard on the open road. It ran strong and smooth. After restoration, the car is now impeccable and issue free. Dependable daily driver, turn the key and go. 2002 2WD Tahoe LS specs are:

​

INTERIOR

Excellent, 9 of 10. Door panels, seats, headliner, and carpets show almost no wear. Everything works...gauges, switches, cabin lights, signals, window/seat/mirror motors, dash controls, AM-FM-CD stereo, overhead console, front and rear AC climate control, clock, compass, etc. Tilt, Cruise, PB, PS, PW, PDL, power front seats, power mirrors.

EXTERIOR

Excellent, 9 of 10, Panels and gaps are clean and straight. Original silver metallic paint is still factory glossy all over. New custom headlamps and tail lights are crystal clear with LED bulbs. All window glass and weather stripping are excellent. Factory running boards look new. Undercarriage is very clean. Car has obviously been garaged the majority of its life.

INVESTMENT

Those of you who have done business with me know that I focus on curating extremely clean, original, low mileage cars with excellent ownership history. This showroom condition Tahoe is another example of the same strategy I have stuck to for 15 years with over 80 cars. As a result I have repeat buyers all over the world. In my opinion these 2nd generation Tahoe's are sleepers that are just now rising in value as investors move in. Now’s the time.
