2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Ls Ppv Police - 51k Miles - Privately Owned Since New L@@k on 2040-cars

If you have any questions send me a message.
I try to explain my vehicles the best I can and it may be long, but is very detailed.

I am selling my 2009 Tahoe LS with the PPV (Z56) police package with just under 52K miles that has always been privately owned since new. I bought this with about 31K miles in July 21st 2011 after the original owner traded it in for a 2011 Tahoe PPV. The original owner bought July 13th 2009 and was manufactured in May 2009. He was an Assistant Fire Chief in a small Texas town and was able to purchase this new due to his position at the fire department. It did have some emergency equipment in it, but never a lightbar and only two antennas on the roof (still functional, but no antenna). This was his personal vehicle title in his name and even has a DVD player w/ screen for the rear seat passengers. For all these reasons being privately owned, it was an easy decision to buy it. So why am I selling it you may ask, well I just bought a newer vehicle and cannot afford both. There is NO lien on the title, it is clear in my name. Winning buyer is responsible for a $500 instant deposit and final payment before delivery.

Now for the information on this 2009 Tahoe. As noted this was never used by a municipality so there was never a cage, lightbar, external lights that make body holes, anything drilled into the dash, no holes in the headliner, etc. It does have two wired antenna that are fully functional to be connected if you desire and these are the only holes in the body (removable NMO caps, no external antennas). It did have a arrow light in the top rear deck, so there is some marks from that, but no holes. It did have some side Whelen Slimlighter on the back inside quarter windows with two small holes on each side from the mounting of them, but are very small.  I noted no holes in the headliner, but it did have a visor light at one time so there are indents from that, but no holes or rips. The push bar had some lights on it, so there are holes from that. Front windows are tinted to I think 25% and rear windows are factory in glass tint.

One of the cool items with this is that it has a rear DVD player with the screen that the original owner added most likely for his children. Do not let that scare you as the rear seats are still near perfect and probably did not see allot of use.  I also upgraded the steering wheel to a leather wrap with radio controls that is fully functional. This adds extra safety so one does not have to take your hands off the wheel to change radio options. Plus leather is so much more comfortable over that plastic wheel. This is a direct plug and play add on with the steering wheel, so there is no hacked modifications. On the outside rear I changed the white window fascia trim and wing to black as I like how that looks on the GMC Yukon. The wing was original OEM Tahoe black I bought NOS and the sides were painted at my local body shop (off the vehicle). In addition to that I changed the front and rear Chevy bowtie to black metal ones. There is also the bug shield to help prevent road chips and it looks good too.

Mechanically it is sound and I always change the oil at about 3000 miles. This has the 4-speed transmission and of course the 5.3L V8 engine. The front brakes were just replaced along with new rotors. The rear brakes were still OK and probably have 10k+ miles left. It has the extra options of: dual batteries, G80 rear locker, fully functional from inside rear doors & windows, keyless entry w/2 Fobs & keys. Due to the strobes in the headlight housing there are no daytime running lights, those bulbs were replaced with strobe tubes. One could replace the bulbs and have daytime running lights again as it did not have that delete option. I replaced the tires in May with Nitto 420S Tires over the really poor life Goodyear GSA. The Nitto 420S are great tires and will last double if not longer over  the GSA. These are not the original size as that is stupid expensive due to it being really only used for th police package. I went with 275/60 R17 that is almost exact match and 1/2 the price for a better higher rated tire. These were bought at Discount Tire for $907 and do have the road hazard warranty. They currently have about 4000 miles on them and Discount Tire will rotate them for free at 6000 miles. Original receipt is included to the buyer will be able to use the warranty if needed. I highly recommend the free tire rotation every 6000 miles.

Interior is in excellent condition and too add to what I previously said there are no rips or tears in any of the seats. I always kept my interior clean, no pets ever and I do not eat in any of my vehicles. I also am not a smoker and do not let ANYONE smoke in my vehicles.  The rear cargo area does have some scuffs and marks from myself and the previous owner.  The dash is perfect, no cracks on the top dash as I always used a sun shade and tried to park out of the sun being I am am in Texas. The rear cargo area had a Odyssey cabinet that was removed and I patched the two holes that where holding it in place. This is well sealed with a cap an silicon and will not cause any issues down the line, but I wanted to point  this out. I added the LS center factory jump seat console that is a very close matching black colour (slightly darker over PPV ebony granite black). This was out of a Suburban and fills the empty space between the seats very well. This is the high end console with the upper and lower compartments, three front cup holders and can be used as a seat since it has a seatbelt. There is also a 12v accessory plug and two rear cup holders in a flip down tray. Looking at it you would think this is a Tahoe LS and not the PPV with the added steering wheel, center console, DVD player and super clean interior.

The are a few very small dings on the body over all, but nothing major and with the white colour they are not always noticeable. There is one on the driver door near the outside edge under the handle. Probably another cars door hit it at one time. Another mark is on the driver rear back quarter a scuff line, but no dent. I was the guy that would park far away from other cars to prevent door dings and yes I always used one parking space. I was not that guy that felt I needed 4 spots, but I tried to always park away from other cars. I had a monthly car wash subscription so I would always keep it clean inside and out.

If you wanted to add emergency equipment back on this there is still most of the pre-wiring in place. The wire loom is wrapped up under the dash and has power and leads that run to the front for speaker and lights. Some of them are still marked with the factory tags, others are not. The two red 10ga wires are for power and the other two looms for the options. On the push bar, there is wiring for a speaker, and two or three light options with grounds. The normal horn works and all other factory functions as normal.

Well I think I covered everything, but if you have any questions please let me know. The many pictures should answer most of the questions about condition.

I have a hard copy of the CarFax showing it as +$740 above retail value. Note that CarFax and Auto check do not always show government or fleet use, I guarantee that this Tahoe has been privately owned/titled since new with 5 miles from dealer to an individual name.

If the buyer does not want the spot light and/or push bar I can remove them. The spot light would still have the cut out in the door, but I can seal the pillar and put a cap on the inside trim piece. I have done this before and it looks fine and takes away that cop look. This is not a 100% seal, but will be good enough to keep any water, moisture and weather out. It would look like the picture to the right.

This is a rare find to see a low mileage 2009 Tahoe that is still under GM power train 5yr/100,000m warranty.
Expires 7/13/2014 or 100k miles.

Texas buyers attention:
There will be no license plates included with this sale, buyer is responsible for all Texas taxes and registration fees.
Texas standard presumptive value shows $0 on the VIN: 1GNEC03099R249373
If you are a Texas buyer I will renew the inspection as it is expired. I am not going to pay $50 if the car will be sent out of state as all the past vehicles I have sold on eBay have done.

Out of state buyers:
I will leave the license plate on the vehicle and ask that you destroy the place when done. The plate seen in the pictures has been replaced with a standard Texas white with black letters one.
