The Owl

I tried to buy a north sky blue Chevy 3500 LT off a lot in early December. After the test drive and while negotiating the deal, the salesman told me that someone just put a deposit on it online. It was a long bed, leather package, nice pickup. Whether he was lying or not who knows, but I walked when they tried to sell me a silver one with cloth buckets. Too much money to not get what I want. Anyway, I called a broker friend of mine, and he put in the order for me for basically the same pickup on Dec 29. Oxford brown, standard bed, 3500 Duramax LT, as loaded as you can get an LT. The update on Jan 18 that said you could no longer get leather on LT had me a little worried. He told me on Feb 6 that mine was about the only order he had that had net been canceled (mostly work models), but they reserved all the leather seats for LTZ models after Jan 18 for the rest of the model year. I could switch to cloth buckets and lose the interior convenience package or go for the LTZ for $4500 more. I just went for the LTZ. They built it last Saturday, I’m expecting to get it next Friday or early the following week. So, tldr version, approved preliminary order Dec 29, expecting to take delivery around Feb 20 after some tweaks. 7 weeks or so.
