lookin to buy a 97

[carpen0ctem]

hey all, im new here, this looked like a pretty good place to look around and ask some questions. im thinkin about takin a 97 tahoe off a friend, it has 113k on her, and a blown 350. im a lil nervous about buyin it, since the motor blew cause the chick's mom drove it on the highway in 4lo. she's offering to sell it for $1k. it seems like a steal deal to me, it's a southern car, and it's damn near spotless. are there any things i can look for while she's not runnin, im thinkin bout takin it to a shop to see if there are any suspension/brake problems or whatnot. also, all i can picture is the tach bouncin off the rev limiter till the motor blew. do ya think i am goin to have to worry bout the tranny suffering serious damages at these high rpm's? or any other problems. oh, yeah, if anyone has a motor for it and are around NY, drop me a line

id start by looking at the front drive train.if there isnt too much oil and coolant from the motor blowing up, see if there was damage to the cv joints , shafts and bearings. oh heck, tell ya what, ive got a 1981 cadillac eldorado ill trade you even up on. it too is a southern car. is the tahoe a 4 door . or two ?
