This was my everyday driver, I have a company car now and need to sell the truck to help pay for private tuition.  This is a 4 door truck/Avalanche and has been really nice for me.  I love having the bed and the 4 doors.  I had a local shop paint the truck flat/satin black. My son wanted to go for the zombie apocalypse look and it really worked out nice.  I had all side windows tinted 5% limo to match the truck.  The rear removable window is factory tinted and I didn't change it.  The rear factory window comes out and has an inside storage area for the window.  You can also fold down the rear seats and have a longer bed that is open to the back.  I believe this was a one year only option on the Avalanche and 2002 was the one with this very desired option.  I put in new front headlights, running lights, rear taillights when the truck was painted.  I also put on two new outside side mirrors.  The ones I purchased are heated mirrors but the truck doesn't have this option.  The mirrors have the heated symbol but they don't work.  The mirrors from the inside controls go down and out, but not up and in - I believe this is because I bought the wrong mirrors.  This is not a big issue to me, but I wanted to be up front.  The outside mirrors have the puddle lights.  The interior seats have no rips and are in perfect like new condition.  There is a little foam wear on the drivers side bolster from getting in/out but the factory seat cover isn't ripped and it isn't horrible.  The carpet is starting to show its age, but it isn't horribly stained or ripped.  I was going to install black carpet if I kept the truck.  The headliner is perfect and no stains.  The center console is perfect and isn't ripped anywhere.  The dash is not cracked and is in perfect condition.  The digital dash cluster is out (lights only) but the gauges work.  I have a Snap-On diagnostic computer that I can plug in and show the actual mileage.  I have been told the cluster can be repaired for $125 and wouldn't mind having it fixed if a deal is made on the truck with the buyer.  Even though the cluster is out the mileage still keeps running and its only the visible light part of the cluster that is out, you can search for more details on this issue. There is no check engine light on and I still drive it everyday after work.  Two door panels show a small cut/divot in the door panel. I took pictures of the areas.  The one on the drivers door is inside the handle area about the size of a dime.  The one on the passenger rear panel is about the size of a nickel.  The body shop where I had the truck painted said they are small cuts in the vinyl and they can be repaired rather easily.

I had the truck painted last year with base coat/clear coat and had a flattener used in the clear coat.  This looked great for about six months until my son used a sponge and a shammy with wax residue on it and it turned my lower moldings transparent white where he rubbed on the truck.  While this paint procedure produced a much flatter look it wasn't the look I was going for anyway.  Last month I had the body shop paint it again but this time I wanted the flat/satin look and used a Dupont Hot Hues Hot Rod Black 2k Urethane paint.  This has the same UV protection as the other and has better color retention.  This is also a popular paint product that keeps it sheen and color for years.  This is not the "paint it primer black and go with it" that turns all white after six months like the old days.  If you would like paint pictures of the before and now paint job just let me know.  The truck also started out originally painted from factory gloss black and I had them leave the jambs gloss black in the even I ever wanted to go back (but I wouldn't even if I was keeping the truck).

The truck runs and drives great and drives smoother and better than my wifes 07 Denali.  The tires are worn and need replacing but it still drives excellent and smooth.  I was going to change the rims and tires and go black if I kept the truck.  If the truck sells at reserve and the new owner wants the factory rims that are pictured on the truck painted flat/satin black like the rest of the truck I will have it done at the shop.  The AC blows super cold, I had the high pressure AC line replaced over the summer and had it evac and recharged at that time, holds the charge and doesn't leak anywhere.  The heat blows super hot and will run you out of the truck once it warms up to regular engine temperature.  The right rear window is slow to go down and up - probably needs a window motor to be fast like the rest of the windows (common GM issue) but it still rolls up and down - just slow.  All of the rest of the defrost, rear defrost, interior/exterior rear cargo lights, fog lights, everything else works as it should.  There are a few lights out on the radio (some of the buttons do not light up like the rest of them).  I can take a picture for you if this is an issue showing you which ones.  

I think I have detailed everything about the truck, if you have any questions or are near Nashville TN and want to see and test drive it just message me.  I do have the truck for sale local and reserve the right to end the auction if it hasn't reached the reserve.  The reserve is much less than I am asking for the truck.  The truck is sold as is condition, as stated.  I require a $1000 deposit via Paypal once the truck is sold, remainder can be paid via Paypal or cash in person upon pickup.  The truck needs to be picked up within three weeks upon the end of auction.  If the truck is paid in full I can store the truck for longer if you are working out details for transportation.  I will not be in the middle of working out transport, that is your responsibility.  I will not take any bank transfers, checks, checks for more than the sale amount etc. 

For more pictures or specific information about the truck please message me.  I have a clean and clear title in hand.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?

You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
