Brushed metal Z71 interior on a LT3 by seagrave
Jan 29, 2007 (11:18 pm)

I'm going to order my LT3 in a few months and I was wondering if it is possible to special order the Z71 brushed metal appearance on the instrument panel, center stack, steering wheel and door panels with the LT3 package? I don't want any other part of the Z71 package, I just want to get something instead of the wood panel interior. If so does anyone have the code for this brush metal option? Any idea of price?

I may be saying this a bit too soon; but, FYI, I traded my 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser for the 07 Yukon Denali. So far I have just over 1000 miles on it with zero problem. I am loving it for the power and the improvements GM had made over the previous models. The 6.2L engine not only has more More power, it also gives me more MPG than my EX-Land Cruiser and it uses regular gas. How can I not enjoying it... Hope you will join the Yukon/Tahoe family soon.

I would trade you if you wanted too I got a brushed metal and wanted to switch for wood. These are pretty easy to put in and take out

I ordered my LT3 about 3 weeks ago and wanted the two-tone leather seats from the Z71 package. The salesman (who is a friend) tried to get them but GM wouldn't budge. I'd say get the brushed metal appliques in the aftermarket world. You getting a 4x4?

2007 Suburban 99% in V8 mode by michml320

Is this the re-programming people have been talking about? Seems it's only in V4 mode coasting with no gas applied at all. Is there a fix for it? Otherwise been fine.

The recall #06162 is E85 related to refine the sensor when there is a mix of E85 and regular in the tank. Has nothing to do with V4/V8 mode. Sorry, I sure wish it did.

You can't order it that way--but trust me a LOT of people wish you could--you can only change the pieces out after the fact. You're only bet is to either get the dealer to order the individual pieces and switch them out (I know someone that was able to get their dealer to do that, and then just add the cost onto the total), OR swap them with someone who has the silver and wants wood (like someone above^^ just offered).
 
It's a shame there's no choice, and the same goes for some other GM vehicles, except for, strangely enough, the Impala. That's the one vehicle where you get a no cost choice of silver or wood trim when ordering.

Ordering problems or am I getting hosed? by hardin_thicke

I get good news and bad news today. Good news is my Tahoe is on its way and should be here next week. The bad news is there was a pricing problem with my order. It was a Supplier Discount, but I don't think it was the cause. Here's the deal:
 
My salesman with whom I am a neighbor of used some sort of GM online form to build the vehicle. The suppler discount is straight forward, and we sat in front of the PC together while pricing out the Tahoe. He selected the LT3 option at the top of the form, and all the boxes next to the items that go with that option were selected with a price of $0.00. I get the total and it looks real good. So good that I decided to add the sunroof, someting I had left off to keep the price down. We shake on the deal, I leave him a check and I'm off. Now he calls today to inform me that there was a "glitch" in the ordering program which neglected to add the price of the LT3 option. The supplier price for this option is around $2800, and I have to absorb it, or he'd be happy to return my deposit because of the error. The order form the get-go had been tagged with "WA", will advise. He told me that sometimes this appears on the order if there is a pricing correction but that I shouldn't expect a great deal of difference from the order form price. Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Hi,
 
They have to give you what you ordered and already left a deposit for. When they accepted the deposit they agreed to the deal you made. They can try to make you pay for their mistake but really they have no right. Especially if you have it in writing.
 
It is possible that they just made a mistake. However, it is their mistake, and you could make them honor the price if you wanted them too. Its really up to you at this point... But remember you paid them on an agreement.
 
If you have an attorney friend I'm sure they would be able to explain things better.

I'd be interested to see if this works the way you think it does. I ordered my Avalanche, and to my understanding your deposit doesn't "lock in" anything on the order. It simply is a "good faith" gesture to the dealer that you're going to take the vehicle when it comes in, sometimes necessary to give them a warm fuzzy before they use up one of their "order allocations" for a vehicle equipped to *your* specifications (vs. whatever the sales manager might normally order based on what would sell most easily off the lot in your areas). Up until now NOBODY I've seen or read about having placed an order has had a guaranteed deal on pricing, because not only does the actual invoice information change frequently, so do available incentives. And since the ordered vehicle invoice paid by the dealership can vary by the time it's produced, they can't guarantee the orderee (??) a deal either.
 
Additional example- any incentives that might be applicable on the day you place the order can disappear by the time the vehicle arrives at the dealership, so you WILL lose them, period.
 
Regardless of how the pricing got messed up, it sounds as if hardin_thicke's dealership is trying to be fair about this. Basically, the pricing is much further off than it might typically be for an order because somebody (either in the dealership, or on the web site end) messed up during the actual order entry, causing the option package pricing to be left out. Because of this they're willing to NOT hold him to his originally stated "good faith" intent to accept the ordered vehicle, and will refund the deposit if he wishes it. He's out nothing more than a Tahoe at the price he thought he'd have it in either case, where the dealership MIGHT be stuck carrying the costs associated with a vehicle that is going to be hard to clear off of the lot (normally the reason for the "good faith" deposit- they'd have kept that money if he turned it down when it arrived in most other situations).
