Holy crap! Our 2002 Z66 is still going flawlessly (though the stupid snow/slush got it nice and filthy today...), but these latest deals are almost too bad to pass up. I started talking to my mother last week about the $2300 GM card bump-up (she didn't get it), the latest rebates, and some of the deals to be had. Also telling her that imaniguana just got a new 2003 made her more interested, since he's been at both of our DE meets.
Tomorrow we're going to the Baltimore Auto Show for the day, and I can't wait to check out everything on the new '03 Av's. Last year they had 3 or 4 '02s (probably because they hadn't been out all that long yet), and we looked at & sat in just about every one. Bought ours a month later.
She loves her black Z66, but really wants running boards and misses the steering wheel audio controls that were in the Buick LeSabre rental we had a year ago, not to mention the front bench seat which she wanted all along. Ours is terrific, and we like it even more because of the neutral cloth interior (most Av's have charcoal), the fact that it has the adjustable lumbar (no more w/ cloth), and the look in black. However, the new ones have the radio controls, can be had with the bench and boards, and come in that beautiful color that everyone wants, Dark Gray.
She'll be home soon for lunch, and I'll tell her about the latest either then or tonight. Then the auto show tomorrow. I'd hate to give up a perfect vehicle that's so new, but if the price is right on a new one, maybe it's time to trade. We'll see
