I'm about to pull the trigger of our first Avalanche purchase. I have gleaned some information from this excellent forum that helps me slightly with my decision but I wonder if I can just grab a straw poll of opinions?
The choice is between a 2011 LTZ (mocha metallic) or a 2013 LTZ Black Diamond (white tricoat). They have pretty much the same mileage (around 104k and 105k miles respectively) and good service records. The 2011 is in very good condition with just a couple of expected dings along the front of the hood. The 2013 has a few scuffs and scratches, mostly superficial looking but with a shallow dent in one door. It's had a change of muffler and exhaust, I assume, with a twin and rather louder exhaust fitted. After some hard negotiating on both, the drive-away prices would be $23,500 for the 2011 and & $25,500 for the 2013 (both inc. tax etc).
Considering the above and all other things being equal, I wonder which way people might be tempted to go - would you decide that there enough little extras in the 2013 Black Diamond LTZ over the 2011 LTZ to justify an extra couple of grand (or 1500 if we can get another $500 off)? I'm not sure that there are many - I don't know if any change to the nav screen is significant or example. I guess I'm seeking personal opinions rather than anything definitive, and recognize that it might come down to gut feeling.
Thanks in advance!
