Should I buy a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche for 205000 miles?

[guyandho]

Owner is asking 7000$. Everyone I've talked to said no because the miles are so high. Owner said he already put in new cams, and got ride of "air-ride" system, which I am not quite sure what it is; he said it's electronically controlled so that the suspension is lifted when turning etc? The transmission has not had anything done to it. Body has some minor rust.

No one thinks I should buy it. What do you guys think?

This thread in link should answer many questions you may have:

Things to check and consider before buying a used AV or EXT

Many threads have been started by members asking if an AV is a good deal or does it have problems etc. While nobody can come up with an all inclusive list of ideas and concerns here are some areas to consider and will be added to over time. Those replying to this post feel free to add your...

No telling what owner has done to modify the AV but if you are correct on what he said about "air-ride" system I would be suspicious since it has nothing to do with turning. It should be on an LTZ model AV and is a self leveling smooth ride suspension. Many threads on this website about it and the proper way to fix the system.

Thanks. Maybe that's what he said, but I don't remember since I don't really know what it really means. Basically from memory, he said that He got rid of that system and replaced it with normal shocks (or suspension, I don't know).
