What it resells for
We don't publish a resale estimate for Tahoes as a group. A police 2WD and a civilian LT 4WD of the same year sell to different buyers at different prices. Price the exact unit by VIN and mileage, then take off the premium, tax, title and transport.
GavelGap puts the other half of the math on every GovDeals listing: what the lot resells for, what it costs you landed, and the pickup-only, title and condition problems that sink a deal, right in your browser.

We include every GovDeals auction that ended from May 1, 2026 through November 1, 2026 whose outcome GovDeals confirmed by status, bid history or bid count. Lots we couldn't confirm either way are left out, as are sellers that sell at a fixed price with no bidding (at least 90% of 20 or more sales with no recorded bid). Tahoes are SUVs whose title or model names a Tahoe, police and civilian alike, with a model year on the listing. Multi-unit lots ("lot of 10", "(4)", "10ea", pallets) are excluded so every price is for one item. Winning bids are the final bid before the buyer's premium and tax; Canadian lots are converted from CAD to USD. "Bids" is the bid count on the sold lot, which can include several bids from one person, so read it as a measure of how contested a lot was. Year, bid and state rows need at least 10 sales. We don't publish per-lot resale estimates.
