2002 Chevrolet Zr2 Blazer Original Owner 2700 Miles Like New Condition on 2040-cars
Sussex, New Jersey, United States
Purchased new by its current owner, this pristine ZR-2 Blazer has, over the past dozen years, accumulated only 2700 miles (yes, that"s right…2700). It is pristine inside and out and underneath; it is exactly as it was when it arrived at the selling dealer. Exercised regularly, this ZR-2 has never seen rain or snow and the sparkling factory Onyx Black paint shows the effects of frequent detailing and waxing; the Graphite cloth interior is spotless as well. During the “non-driving” time, the ZR-2 is, of course, garaged and has a battery tender on it at all times. It has a current state registration and its mechanical and emission inspections are up-to-date. The engine compartment is a virtual time capsule with everything just as clean as when the SUV rolled off the assembly line (right down to the original parts and service specifications decals and assembly line paint dabs). It runs as it did the day it was built, no surprise given its original plugs, hoses, ignition wires and air filter (the oil has been changed at regular time intervals and the battery has been replaced). The factory tires have nearly full tread life remaining as well as razor-sharp tread edges (remember, only 2700 miles) and the spare, also mounted on a styled aluminum wheel like the other four road wheels, has never touched the ground. This Blazer is heavily optioned, the list totaling nearly $7000: ZR-2 package (itself a $2000 option) which includes underbody protective skid plates, wide fiberglass fender flares that cover the 31” Goodrich on-off road tires and relocated suspension pick up points (and a wider rear axle) that increase the track of the Blazer Four-speed automatic overdrive transmission Locking rear differential “Autotrac” electronic four-wheel drive system that, when placed in the “auto” mode, delivers four-wheel drive performance and safety when slippery road conditions warrant (the Blazer can also be placed in full-time 2WD or full-time 4WD high/low ranges as well) Factory-installed power sunroof (with sliding sunshade) that can be fully opened, fully closed, tipped up for cockpit ventilation, or can be opened to any degree desired Externally-mounted spare tire (a mandatory option on all ZR-2 Blazers) Fog lights Delco “Theftlock” Stereo AM/FM/CD player Air conditioning Cruise control and tilt wheel Overhead console with map lights, outside temperature and compass display Center console Remote keyless entry Power windows and door locks Six-way power driver's seat Deep tinted rear windows Heated outside mirrors Rear window defroster and wiper Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob This is a genuine factory ZR-2 Blazer and is not an aftermarket project truck. But just when it seems that it can"t get any better, it does: also included is a complete set of documentation which includes owner's manual, original window sticker, dealer order form, dealer search form, assembly line build sheet and a mint 2002 Blazer sales brochure. The outstanding condition of this time capsule ZR-2 coupled with an extensive factory option list and factory documentation adds up to a rare, super-desirable SUV…a true once in a lifetime find. Please note: winning the auction is NOT an invitation to look the vehicle over, and then decide you don’t want it. Winning the auction is a legally-binding contract to purchase the vehicle so any inspections MUST be completed before the auction ends. We will gladly accommodate inspection requests/visits but any expense must be borne by the (prospective) buyer/bidder. Please understand that this is a pristine, low-mileage ZR-2 that has never been driven in the rain or snow so any requests to inspect or test drive must take weather into consideration.

Chevy previews 2016 Malibu ahead of New York debut
Thu, Mar 5 2015With everything going on in Geneva this week, it would be all-too easy to forget that there's still stuff going on back home in America. And the upcoming new Chevy Malibu is a prime example. Chevrolet has announced that it is bringing an all-new Malibu to the New York Auto Show next month, teasing us with this preview image and a few enticing details. For starters, when we say it's all new, this time we mean it's all new. The next-generation Malibu has been built on a new platform that uses more high-strength steel to cut 300 pounds off the curb weight compared to the outgoing model. It's also got a wheelbase that's almost four inches longer, with shorter overhangs front and rear and a roofline that tapers stylishly and more gradually towards the tail. We'll have to wait a little longer – but not too much longer – to find out more, but in the meantime you can read what Chevy's telling us so far in the press release below. Born Again: Next-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Announced Larger, lighter and more efficient Malibu to be unveiled at New York Auto Show 2015-03-04 DETROIT – Designed to deliver more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever, the next-generation 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will make its public debut at the New York International Auto Show this April. Using a blank slate approach, Chevrolet designers benefited from an entirely new architecture, which for Malibu includes a wheelbase nearly four inches longer than the outgoing model. That, in turn, provides increased rear legroom and interior space. Due to a higher-strength steel structure, the new Malibu is also expected to be 300 pounds lighter than the current model, which benefits the sedan's fuel economy and handling. "Malibu's gorgeous styling is the result of a masterful understanding of proportions," said Ed Welburn, General Motors' vice president of Global Design. "The roofline has been stretched rearward giving a more sleek profile, while the front wheels have moved forward and front and rear overhangs have been reduced. Along with the sculpted body side, these cues help Malibu appear more dynamic and sophisticated." More details about the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will be shared each week leading up to the vehicle's global debut. The 2016 Malibu is expected to go on sale by the end of 2015. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 115 countries and selling around 4.8 million cars and trucks a year.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
