Well the saga continues and I have an update to my story...
Well this week I'm in search of a new 2003 Black Z71 with drive conv. personal security, full features leather seats.... the works...
Been a tough finding one of these suckers... easy to find one with the options not easy finding it in black... But I've found one, got a good price on it $36,500 and am in the financing stage... so far all looks good and the credit guy at the dealer thinks he can slide this one in.. woohoo!!!!
So if all goes well I should be a proud AV Z71 owner by wed.
Just thought I'd let you guys know.
I also happened to take my first drive in an AV tonight believe it or not... I've been all over this truck like 3 or 4 times now, but never drove it tonight.... It only confirmed what I already knew a month ago.... ?I REALLY WANT THIS TRUCK. ?
Man these AV's drive really nice, I was surprised how smooth and easy to drive it is. The amount of brake pedal used is a little unnerving.... but I figure 6000 pound vehicle I guess it should be maybe..... So I really love the truck, but the brakes irk me a little.... not that I care at this point lol. It seemed to have plenty of get up and go, and would have even more so if the transmission let it... To me anyway it seemed the tranny was definately geared for truckin... as opposed to how my mustang feels geared hehe..... Yeah I know an AV is NO mustang...
But definately the ride of the truck stood out for me, just really smooth even over rough rodes it rides those out really smooth too.... (but again I drive a mustang daily so a mountain bike with a shock would probably be smoother than my stang)
Anyway to rap it up I felt good in the truck, being a big guy 6'1 260 pounds I felt the drives seat plentty spacious. I only wished I had more time to get aquainted with it. I was just starting to program the trip computer when we pulled back in the lot.
