#7 of 86 Indigo Blue Metallic Z66 AV owner by darkeye Jul 12, 2001 (5:28 am)
I purchased my Av on 6/6. It's loaded with all options. Going to add the running boards, molded hood protector, molded splash guards and ventvisors when they are available to order. So far I have had not problems with my Av. I wish I could get a dollar for every person that looks or ask me questions about my Av. I would be able to buy another one. I have been getting 16.7 mpg in the city and 18.14 mpg on highway. No water leak problems as of today. I have been washing it every week now. Blue really shows the dirt and dust. I am completely satisfied with my Avalanche.
#8 of 86 Ventvisors by allonon Jul 12, 2001 (8:38 am)
I highly recommend the getting WeatherFlectors instead. No tape, Look much cleaner. Already have mine and their sweet. Although you have to put the clips in (at least on the rears), ours popped out and we had to order replacements. The rears on our Durango didn't require the clips and I was seeing if it was really necessary. It was. You can order them from www.macnielauto.com.
#9 of 86 High Rear Issues by aeric1 Jul 12, 2001 (9:34 am)
I also notice that small cars disappear, especially at night, when they get too close to the Av's rear. This is especially a pain in Los Angeles, where lots of little car owners like to get right on my tail. (Oh well, Darwin will take care of them!)  The other problem with the high rear is during reversing; the backup lights seem to be very small and dim for the area they need to light up for me to see beyond the tailgate. I am considering purchasing extra bright reverse lights. Any one have ideas on this?
#10 of 86 WeatherFlectors allonon by darkeye Jul 12, 2001 (12:03 pm)
Did you say you have these WeatherFlectors for your Avalanche? Do they make them for the Av?
#11 of 86 Weatherflectors by allonon Jul 12, 2001 (12:30 pm)
Yes. I emailed them and they said the door/windows are the same from the suburban. I ordered them and they fit great except for not doing the little clip on the rears. They also tell you to put them in the front but I haven't had problems with those. I wanted to leave the clips off because I like to pull the weatherflectors out when I wash the car.
#12 of 86 Limited Rear Visibility by allonon Jul 12, 2001 (12:37 pm)
I don't have any problems with it. But I'm also used to driving large vehicles with bad rear visibility (Suburban, Durango, 3/4 ton pickups with full loads) I never use my inside mirror, always the side mirrors.   There are a ton of comapnies that do rear-facing cameras. You can try that

One of the AV's at a local dealer (Stewart Chev) had an aftermarket proximity detector installed. I did not take a look at it, but the sales man saild it beeped slowly and then speeded up to steady tone when backing up on obstacles. I do not know the vendor.   joe
#14 of 86 Backup Alert System by invested Jul 13, 2001 (6:23 am)
My wife has a Lexus and I was at the dealer and they had a brochure on a backup alert system. It is manufactured by PORON International in Gardena, CA. The model # is 7303 micro3LV vehicle reversing aid. No phone number though. It was around $250.   Hope this helps.
#15 of 86 Out of stock ALREADY by camtor67 Jul 14, 2001 (12:08 pm)
Guys, thank you for your comments, but they are not helping. Why?, cause they are out of stock in my area already (North Atlanta). Because of that prices are also almost on-negotiable. I went today to get mine and from 38500K (4WD Z71)they just came down to 37500k. Am I getting a good deal?. Haven't get it yet, they don't have the Indigo Blue (nice color). If you are in my area, your friend is a Chevy Salesman and is willing to negotiate, please hook me up. I also want people to look at me.

I'm in NC and didn't have time to go out of state to get an Avalanche, but it looks like one of the $98 over invoice Chevrolet dealers located a little west of Charleston is selling their Avs for that price. Here is a url to their website: http://www.marchantchevy.com/ Please note... I have never purchased a vehicle there and thus don't know anything about how good their service is etc.
