#125 of 131 2010 Avalalance Deal by 69z28

Feb 04, 2012 (8:51 am)

Bought my 2WD Avalanche new in March 2010 in eastern NC. It's an LT with additional option packaging that brings it pretty much on par with an LTZ. MSRP was $47,500, including a $1,000 discount for the special option packaging...otherwise, list totaled $48,500.
 
I had a lot of pricing incentives in hand at the time, including the local dealer discount, Chevy Truck Month discount, former Pontiac owner certificate, GM Card points and a small trade-in allowance on my '02 Bravada (167,000 miles) that had been technically troublesome almost from Day One.
 
Closed the deal with an offer of $37,500 ($7,500 cash plus $30K bank loan for 60 months 3.67%).
 
Seemed like a great deal until the dealer had to replace the valve lifters a week later 100 miles (built with wrong parts!) and then the transmission torque converter went south 7 months later at 12,000 miles. (Yes, I have a few posts under the "Avalanche Transmission Problems" thread. ) Still driving it, but my faith in the reliability of this product is badly damaged.

I did see that when I went looking on the lots back in Mar... I have a LT now with all that... the new LT is missing the options you stated.. a bummer... looks like I'll be passing the last year's Avalanche by.. just not worth it to get less of a truck than I already have.. another GM boondoggle...
