The Chevrolet Tahoe is a purpose-built, full-size four-door, family-oriented SUV. A sharp, precise driving feel, Active Fuel Management engine technology, and enhanced safety features make it a popular choice among full-size SUVs.
The Tahoe is available in LS, LT, and LTZ trims in both 2WD and 4WD. The standard engine on the rear-wheel drive Tahoe is a 295-hp 4.8-liter V8 matched with a four-speed auto transmission. A six-speed automatic is standard with all other engines. Four-wheel drive models come standard with a 320-hp 5.3-liter V8 that features GM's Active Fuel Management technology that turns off four cylinders in many normal driving situations. A version of this engine can run on both E85 ethanol-blended fuel as well as regular unleaded gasoline. Standard equipment includes dual-zone air conditioning, cloth seating, 17-inch wheels, a tire-pressure monitoring system, StabiliTrak stability control with rollover mitigation, and an eight-speaker audio system with CD player and a year of OnStar service.
For 2009, the Chevrolet Tahoe is largely a carryover.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe for less money than when it was new. If the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
