1998 Chevrolet Blazer Ls Sport Utility 4-door 4.3l 4wd on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:117000 Color: of the vehicle shows very well with a deep luster and shine in the paint and all chrome sparkles like new
Location:

Tellico Plains, Tennessee, United States

Tellico Plains, Tennessee, United States

Up for auction today is a very nice example of a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS family utility vehicle with 4WD. The vehicle currently has just over 117k miles (that's just 7500 miles a year) which is really low considering it's 15 years old. This is a No-Reserve Auction so the highest bidder takes it home... but you better Buy-It-Now before someone else gets it!!!

THE BAD: There are a few small dents no larger than a nickel on the driver's side door, right rear door, and back hatch... and a small plastic piece under the driver's side front bumper spoiler is broken off (hard to see but all are noted in the attached video). The front grill has a crack in it but it's all intact and in place (you have to look specifically for it to see it.) The plastic defrost vent in the dash for the windshield has a crack. The lever to lower the driver's seat back rest is missing, but will try to locate one locally before the end of the auction.

THE GOOD: The exterior of the vehicle shows very well with a deep luster and shine in the paint and all chrome sparkles like new. Not so sure what the official name of the color is but it's a light silvery/cinnamon with velour cloth interior to match. All upholstery, carpet, and headliner are clean and stain free (floor mats even look new.) All vinyl on the doors and dash are crack free. All power windows, electric door locks, electric back hatch release, electric mirrors, compass and outside temperature gauge, stereo, buzzers, courtesy lights, tachometer, 4WD, cruise control, speedometer and dash gauges work as they should and there are no idiot lights illuminated on the dash. The vehicle even comes equipped with OnStar though currently not subscribed to. There is no rust what so ever and no cracks or chips in any of the glass. Has a towing hitch with wiring.

THE BEST PART: Recent work on the vehicle includes 4 (four) new snow and mud tires- rather aggressive so there is a little road noise from the front tires at highway speeds, new wiper blades front and rear, new four wheel disc brake rotors, calipers, and pads on all four wheels... new front axle wheel bearings both sides, new front sway-bar bushing kit, new brake master cylinder, oil and filter change, A/C recharge (blows cold) and a good hand wash and wax job. In all, over $1700 in maintenance and repairs, so these are expenses you won't have to face in the future. The 4.3 liter V6 engine purrs smoothly and at 55mph only pulls 1450 rpms. The engine should last a long time at this rate and offer pretty good highway mpg to boot. With the on-dash push button 4WD hi/low range and the mud tires, be prepared to go anywhere you want. Automatic tranny shifts smoothly through all gears. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.

This vehicle is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early with no notice. This vehicle is 15 years old... it's not new so don't expect it to be flawless (though you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer one.) This vehicle is being sold as is, where is, with no warranty implied. So feel free to come and look it over and take it for a test drive prior to bidding. For more information email me or call 423-253-2200 between 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. daily. Good luck and happy bidding.

What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt

Wed, Aug 13 2014

With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.

GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow

Mon, Apr 7 2014

Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says

Sun, Jun 25 2023

Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent.  In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
