Hi. I'm looking for a 2007 or older diesel Tiger 4x4 for a Pan-American trip. Budget is $60k.

Someone was trying to sell a 2006 duramax needing some interior finishing for $90k on here recently I think the thread disappeared after a few people were critical of price. Maybe you could find a middle ground on price with them? I thought it was a $20-30k high personally but they think it is the greatest truck ever built so might be hard to reason with that logic.

I would recommend the Tapatalk Tiger Owners forum for posting a wanted ad I found my Tiger that way. Within 30 - 45 days of posting wanted ad I was able to secure a Tiger, not my first choice but a decent enough one at a very fair price. Had a lead on a second unit up North of the border. Our Tiger was able to get our family out there and we can continue to save and shop for the perfect rig (which maybe another Tiger or not - still deciding...) Also I don't know why you really want the diesel but I am more than happy with our 8.1 allison gas setup I believe it to be very underrated and if you research it you will find out the same, if you look I own some great diesel trucks for work and still have mad respect for the 8.1 allison setup. (I won't even drive autos but with the RV it's nice to have my lady help with long drives and if I'm hurt she can save me - thanks honey)

Also a 2009 Tiger CX is for sale on Tapatalk Tiger Forums here is some details if your not a member; I can message the seller with your phone # if you DM me.

@rawtoxic thank you for the information. I saw the 2009 Tiger listed on FB for sale. Unfortunately it will not work for our pan-am trip. If you hear of any others please let me know!

I think you scored a great Tiger at a pretty fair price, high miles scares some but the previous owners really cared for that one - look forward to seeing you out there! I think Chevy made some very durable vehicles around then, mine is also high miles but it was owned by a engineer and he really cared for it so I think you will be happy! Tiger forum has been lifesaver multiple times for finding parts, advice and new friends! Best of luck with a pan-america trip hopefully you post some details! One of the Tigers we looked and passed on had made the journey.
