Ladies and Gents I could really use your help on this one. My wife and I are looking for a newer auto to tow our new boat with. She is also needing one because the one she has is on its last leg. We have gone to about 15 different dealerships test driveing and comparing how we were treated as a younger couple purchasing an automobile. We plan on haveing a family here soon so there are a few requirements that this auto must have, like 4 full sized doors, and cargo space and feww good about driveing it. We started out with an 05 ford f-150 supercrew, it handeled ok she liked how big and roomy it was and i also liked the towing copacity. So we left the dealership and kept that in mind. We went on to drive a chevy, a dodge, a tahoe, an expidition, a couple toyotas and then finaly an avalanche. Instantly she fell in love with the avalanche. We Proceeded to a few more just to make sure this was what she wanted. A Love for the truck soon became an obsesion (IE we could get this and this and this and now do that) so now im starting to get excited aabout an new auto. She has a few requirement and so do I about this truck. She wants a cd player and No Plastic body clading, I wanted the z-71 and a roof rack and husky floor liners. Well we tell a few Dealerships what we wanted. Well one very close to me found one. Its absolutly loaded. Leather, Heated Seats, XM, Onstar, and A MoonRoof. Yo Know its right in our price range and has only 28,500 miles on its an 2004. Were thinking great this one could be ours. Well its being delivered to the dealer on Monday. So we get to go and check it out and drive and have a repair shop you know check it over for us. Later on yesterday the salesperson called me and had some info for me about when i could come and see it and so on. Then I flat out tell him that I wanted to get it checked out by a trusted repair shop and that I wanted a GMVIS report on it. (Now heres where I realy Start to get Nervious) He called me back and told me it was a gm buy back vehicle. So they are purchaseing it direct from gm after it has been repaired. So I ask him why did gm buy it back from its owner. He goes on to tell me that it had went in many times for repair of its power steering system and a few minor other things. and then he reassured me that it is been fixed by gm and they cannot sell it unless it is fixed. So Ladies and Gents here is where the advice comes in to play. Where Do I Go From Here? He told me that gm puts a 12 month 12,000 Warrenty on the repairs that were done and I still have to remaining factory warrenty. Once Again Where Do I Go From Here? Also What Would You Do? Here are the Specs on it. <br /><br />2004<br />Chevy Avalanche<br />White No Body Cladding and all of the goodies.<br />28,500 Miles<br />$23,900<br />3GNEK12T04G213021<br /><br /><br />I would like to thank you all in advance for all of your help. We Are a young couple with not much knoldge in the automotive field. We are just trying to find a vehicle that has not many problems or problems that have been fixed. <br /><br /><br />Thanks Again<br />Adam
