The Particulars:

The above is a brief description of our 1997 Chevrolet Silverado LT (K1500) extended cab truck. It is a "local truck" to our home town in Chester County PA. We have used it as a farm truck, as did the first owner, who bought it new. It is a great runner, very strong, and has pulled our 2 horse gooseneck trailer with ease around here and to North Carolina and back. I'd give it a "fair condition" rating (see below for more details). In that condition, the Kelley Blue Book value is right around $4,000.00. I never list with reserves, so if you snag this truck for the minimum bid of $1,499.00, you will have gotten one heck of a good deal.  

Cosmetics are not essential to farm trucks! This one has spent most of its life with its tailgate down, which is a good thing, because the tailgate is in rough condition. I backed the lowered tailgate into our horse trailer a couple years ago, and I suspect my predecessor did so once or twice as well. It has been straightened enough that it is functional. The rear step bumper is starting to rust through, but that is the only area of rust through on the truck (see below aboout the cab corners). The rest of the body is in good shape, no major dents, scrapes, etc., but certainly scratches and dings which are normal for a vehicle of this age & mileage. The interior is dirty, as you can see in the pictures, but it could be cleaned up fairly easily and should look presentable. There are no tears in the upholstry, and other than a crack in the dash, the interior should be in physically good shape (again, just needs to be cleaned). The good news: Many Chevy / GMC trucks this age are rusted through at the cab corners. The cab corners on this truck were replaced two years ago, and the paint was matched very well.

There are a couple of other minor mechanical "quirks"  - a slight leak in a power steering line, an issue with a door switch which makes the interior lights stay on (I pulled the fuse a couple years ago), leaky AC compressor which needs charging annually, etc. The airbag light is "on" (which means the airbags need to be "inspected"), and the "check engine" light comes on intermittently. I had the code read on the check engine light a couple weeks ago and it was related to an O2 sensor. These trucks are known for this sort of thing - we put few enough miles on it that it does not require an annual emissions inspection in Pennsylvania, so I have always just let that light go... Also, (as noted above), I replaced all four tires and the spare last fall and they have (maybe) a couple hundred miles on them. Additional recent repairs: Complete fuel pump assembly two years ago, new spark plugs, coil wire, plug wires, distributor cap & rotor, ignition module and drive belt earlier this month (plus an oil change). We knew we were selling the truck and wanted to feel confident that it was in good running order for its new owner.

As you can see from the above, I have gone out of my way to point out the "flaws" here. If you have any questions, please call me at 610 806 3954. Also, you are encouraged to come see / test drive the truck. I am not a mechanic, and nothing you see above should be construed as a mechanic's opinion. If you would like to have your mechanic look at the truck, I would encourage that as well. 

There are NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED on this vehicle. the vehicle is being sold with a clear title, as is, where is. Again, you are encouraged to come have a look, or have your mechanic do so, please call me at 610 806 3954

10% of the proceeds from this listing will go to the American Cancer Society...

Thanks for looking and again, please don't hesitate to call me with any questions, etc. at 610 806 3954.

Cadillac could base its entry-level sedan on the Chevy Cruze [UPDATE]

Wed, Apr 27 2016

UPDATE: Cadillac spokesperson Donny Nordlicht tells Autoblog , "The post speculating on a future Cadillac model derived from the Chevrolet Cruze is completely false." Premium automakers Mercedes-Benz and Audi have seen plenty of success with new small front-drive-based sedans. The CLA-Class had its best January ever this year, while Audi moved more of its new A3 in 2015 than its predecessor sold in 2005 through 2010 combined. The fact that Cadillac wants a piece of that pie is no surprise, then. There's a new rumor that GM's luxury brand could launch its own compact – possibly called CT2 – to battle the Germans. Cadillac, a brand that's pushed hard to rebuild its rear-drive reputation, could develop a new entry-level model based on the front-wheel-drive 2016 Chevrolet Cruze's D2XX platform. Go ahead and make your Cimarron jokes. Sources are telling GM Inside News that a Cadillac built on the Delta platform would ditch the Cruze's turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder for a 1.5-liter turbo in base models. General Motors' well received 2.0-liter turbo four would serve in higher-end models. According to GMIN, the Delta-based Cadillac would likely command a $6,000 to $9,000 premium over the Cruze, so figure $23,000 to $26,000 on the low end to $30,000 to $33,000 for something at the top of the range. As much as we dislike the kind of badge engineering that brought us the Cavalier-based Cadillac Cimarron in the '80s, the company has done an admirable job of distinguishing vehicles on shared platforms lately. A Delta-platform Cadillac would at least have a good basis – the new Cruze is surprisingly comfy. That said, we question GM's rationale if this rumor is indeed true. Put simply, Cadillac needs another sedan like I need another student loan payment. The company has four sedans, three of which overlap two segments, and none of which are selling very well. That's not because they're bad, but because customers want crossovers, of which Caddy has but one – the new XT5. Spending the time and money to add a fifth sedan to the mix when the company desperately needs to flesh out its CUV range would be a tremendous mistake. As much as we hate to say it, if Cadillac really wants to add a small, entry-level car to its range, it'd better be a crossover. Related Video:

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.
