Experience / Items Needed To Purchase Police Tahoe

M J · October 10, 2015

I am in law enforcement, and am looking to purchase a 2015 Tahoe for commuting to and from work, and occasional off-duty work.

Has anyone had any experience purchasing a Police Tahoe through a dealer and getting the Police discount? I know it can be done, but wanted to see what documents people had to produce to acquire the truck. Loan approved, cash ready!

Thanks

As a non-LEO when I tried to buy a new 2015 PPV, I was denied because I did not have a purchase order from a Department or a badge number if for personal use - even if though I did not want the LEO discount.

The PPV must be purchased through a GM dealer fleet sales department with a Department Purcahse Order or badge number for individual LEOs - the discounts etc will be applied when the proper process is followed.

I ended up buying my PPV as a low mileage lease return from a New York dealer as a regular sales item.

Contact your local GM dealer fleet sales department, they will be able to hook you up.

I'm guessing PPV means police package vehicle ?

I'm in touch with one, but with the LEO discount they are still about 39K, which doesn't seem like as much of a discount compared to the previous generation Tahoe, or the Caprice. 39K doesn't seem like much of a discount when regular base models using normal discounts can be had for 39 or 40.

Thanks for the info though sir!

PPV = Police Pursuit Vehicle

Yes, $39k does sound a bit higH, but what options did you choose?

Carpets and retail center console with cloth rear seat? Forward collision warning? Was it a 2016 or close out 2015 PPV? 4WD PPV or RWD? A-pillar spots or spot delete?

Either way I would expect numbers closer to $37k for retail console with carpets and as low as $34k for regular console with rubber floors.

I picked up my 11 month old 11,000 mile for just at $36k. This is about what new with discounts would be. Perhaps try another dealer that does bigger fleet numbers and more PPVs.
