If you ever seen how they drive and treat cars over there.
They don't use the horn to tell you to move out of the way. They just give you a tap on your rear bumper.
Somewhere I've got a series of pictures of when I was a passenger and they were repaving the equivalent of an interstate in Kuwait. Was a 12 lane job, at one point along the job they hadn't put the lane stripes in. Going by the position of the vehicles, there are 10 lanes on the portion of the highway I was on.
+1 for why you shouldn't buy it: How badly Middle Easterners treat their vehicles. I learned this from some documentaries that detailed the Yom Kippur war and other conflicts so YMMV, but essentially the patriarchal system of "I'm older, thus know better than you" coupled with Islam's teachings that "Everything's gonna be fine in the end because you believe" leads to a society that just goes FULL SEND on their stuff.
Yes, the "Inshallah" mentality is alive and well there.
I mean.....it's a suburban not something rare. You say 2500s are sort of rare but I think I saw 3 in a parking lot here 2 days ago. Maybe it's rare there but not everywhere.
And I wouldn't look as far as overseas

Is it safe to assume that the milage is accurate since it is stored in the ECU?
Don't know the year of the truck you are looking at but GM stored the millage of the Vehical in the cluster. You can send out clusters to rebuilders and have them change the millage that the cluster displays. It may also be in the BCM or another computer (I don't know this for sure) but the average person does not usually access it. Go on line and Goggle GM gauge cluster rebuilding and millage changing is just another service they offer.
Because of this you have no idea of the actual millage of that truck if the cluster has been changed.

If it's still in the middle east, this sounds exactly like the scam that led to my dumb-ass BIL's dumber brother wiring $18k to Poland for a Jeep.
Hey, my techie neighbors sent $3k to Eastern Europe for a non-existent domestic cat.......
