Y'all may be tired of seeing messages like this, but I have to do it anyway!
I just picked up my brand new '03 Av last night. It's a charcoal gray z71 with full power leather, security pkg, convenience pkg, sunroof etc. (pretty much everything but roof rack and steps, which i'll add soon as my wife says they are a requirement). So far, with 56 miles on the odometer, I love it! Spent last night trying to figure out all the gizmos. My favorite so far is probably the automatic curb view adjusting side mirrors when you throw it in R.
My dealing method was to send 12 different dealers emails for quotes via gmbuypower.com. It helps to live in an area where there are plenty of chevy dealers all w/in a half hour. You wouldn't believe the different prices for essentially identical rigs! Dealer I bought it from turned out to be the carsdirect dealer in the area, but he beat carsdirect price and I didn't have to pay their fees. Ended up around $500 less than invoice.
Anyway, just wanted to thank all of you that provide so much content on these boards. I don't know how many hundreds of threads I have read over the last couple months, but your enthusiasm for this vehicle certainly helped me to choose an Av!!!!
It's awesome! If anyone has any Qs about 2003 and features/functionality, I'll be happy to answer.
