I contacted Audi of Raleigh looking for a 2013 Avalanche

I contacted Audi of Raleigh looking for a 2013 Avalanche which had no photos online. I did receive the photos from Shaquan Cotton. What happened next took me totally by suprise. Giving me deposit option for this avalanche for today as tomorrow the price would be going up due to tariff's. Please if you are reading this don't get scammed. There will never be tariff's on a used vehicle. Be careful who you do business with.

Solid truck!

I currently own a 2011 Chevy avalanche LS with several upgraded packages. Exterior…I really like the design of the truck and some people say the big pillars in the bed are a blind spot but I’ve never really had an issue with them. Interior…the dash is cracked in several places (before I bought it) and the interior has some loud rattles. But the seats are very comfortable and the coil suspension gives the truck an incredible ride. Handling is a little squishy and acceleration isn’t great but usually your not buying a truck for speed :) The Midgate is an extremely cool feature that I feel like a lot of people skip over…very intuitive design and on hot days I pop the back window out and store it in the mid gate for a “almost” convertible feel. Overall I would recommend the truck 8/10

Refuse to sell my Avalanche

Sold my 2008 Avalanche to buy a 2013 Avalanche knowing this was the last production year. I normally purchase a new vehicle every 5 years, but I am extremely satisfied with my 20113 Avalanche. I unsure as to what vehicle to buy so I am keeping my Avalanche. It is now 10 years old. I do maintain a strict maintenance schedule and put in only the better brand gasoline. Other than the regular maintenance including brakes and tires, I have not had a single repair issue. My wife loves it and feels safe in the Avalanche and will not travel with anything else. My only wish is that the more advanced technology was/or had been available on the 2013.We wish GM would bring it back.

2013 Chevy avalanche

Replace transmission at 150,000 miles. Cracking dash in the second year (2014) of ownership. Chevrolet would not replace it under warranty and the car was one year old at the time. Oxygen sensors going out from time to time continually.

Very reliable

Plenty of legroom, plenty of power outlets, heated and air-conditioned seats, heated steering wheel, DVD/CD player. This vehicle is well-made. The exterior is in excellent condition.

Best of both worlds!

This vehicle gives you the ride of a luxury SUV with the ability to haul like a truck. Having the ability to secure things in the bed is a great feature as well. The locking panels over the bed are sturdy enough to walk on. The storage and ease of access to the compartments on the side of the bed is a great feature as well. I bought a 2007 Avalanche and loved it so much that I sold it (for a profit) and bought a 2013 Black Diamond edition. Love it!

Most Versatile vehicle owned

Awesome styling. Powerful 5.3 engine and 90% of the parts are easy to work with. The interior is one of the interiors GM has came out with.

I traded in my 2005 Avalanche so I wanted enother

This truck is sweeter then sweet! It rides excellent and it helps you fell secure. The features for this year (13) is above par. My wife drove it home and she thought the ride and comfort was exceptional.
