People make fun of them, but everyone who has one loves it. They only stopped making it because the profit margin wasn't as high with so many unique parts. They figured all the customers who bought the Avalanche would move on to the crew cab Silverado. And they were mostly right (except for those of us who kept ours...)

have a white 2004 Buick Park venue Ultra I paid 3500.00 for it 3 1/2 years ago. great car for cheap broke people on a budget. When something goes wrong everything can be fixed for under 800.00; parts and labor at most paces. Supercharged 3800 Series Ii always USE 93 OCTANE gas its a must or you get a bad spark knock Mine had 134,703 miles now has 150,150 miles. Mine has everything expect the bucket seats and sunroof. Those 17.5 inch Chrome wheels are 199.99 to 399.00 used not kidding. Mine has that it was a dealer installed option took it off didn't work mine has the factory cell phone and antenna. Mine is Pearl White with beige leather int, Mine has the heads up display i find it annoying. Took the back camera off saved it..I dont have the sunroof or bucket seats.Mine has the Concert III and the 6 disc changer in trunk and all chrome Mine also has OnStar that still works I have it until 2026m for free.

Just tried mcbay performance off this recommendation for rear coil spacers. Now this video is a couple years old so they may have been ok back then but today, that place reeks of incompetence and all they have are really REALLY bad excuses to try to cover it up. Kind of a comical experience. Like dealing with children. But I'd recommend staying away from em. I went to strano performance. Way better and much more educated on there products than the mcbay clowns Update: i got the spacers. They came in before my strano spacers so i figured give em a try and.............THEY WEREN'T EVEN THE RIGHT PART!!!! And to put the cherry on the whole terrible experience they won't even take it back. Not even these clowns want their own trash products! 😂 The incompetence has no limit with this circus 😂 Absolutely terrible company with worse service.

@@CaptainThirdGen It's such a stupid thing... That's why I'm looking for a Camaro or Charger with a 6.2 V8. Most of the muscle cars from dodge and chevrolet are directly imported and do not need any crazy modifications to be road legal here. They are a lot cheaper compared to similar spec BMW or Mercedes models. But the only downside is that the emission taxes are extremely high on US cars, and since fuel is very expensive here, it's also not cheap to drive around with an engine that has like twice the amount of fuel consumption, compared to an car like the BMW M4 haha.

I got hustled when I recently bought a 2003 V66. Just replaced the water pump, super easy job. But, the magnetic clutch on the A/C easily slides out so I'm facing a new compressor/ $1000. A new climate control blender valve in the dash comes next. I replaced all the lights and plastic lenses, clean plastic and LED illumination front and back can't be beat. Still, with all that, at $4200 I still think it was worth it. Runs strong like bull, super civilized to drive, mad comfortable, very quiet and crazy adaptable. It is definitely a keeper....and I know where the guy who sold it to me lives. We shall....talk.
