Up for sale is my 1989 Chevy, Scottsdale, 2500, 3/4 ton, 4WD, Pickup.
As amazing as it sounds, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER of this truck! Yes I purchased the truck brand new from the dealer.
I believe this was the last year they made the Scottsdale model but I could be wrong. This is a HEAVY 3/4 ton pickup which means that it sits on practically a one ton frame. It's an 8600 lb truck compared to a 7800 lb which is a regular 3/4 ton.
This is a work truck and needs work, restoration, etc, so read on....
This was a work truck and is sold as is. 
Some history on the truck;
-Never been in an accident other than some dings and dents from use on construction jobs.
-Don't know the true odometer reading because the speedometer/odometer stopped working some time ago. Actual reading is 169367.
-It is on its 3rd engine and runs smooth.
-There is some noise due to some exhaust system issues.
-It is on its second transmission which works very well.
-Does need extensive front end work and CV boots and possibly more.
-One of the brake cylinders leaks fluid so even though it runs well, it would need to be towed or rollbacked in any event. More than likely, it just needs some small parts to fix.
-Seat is in bad condition.
-Ladder rack is not in good condition and would need some welding, a rear crossbar, sanding and painting if buyer intends to use it. Might be worth it just to scrap it.
-Does include an aluminum toolbox which is not in great shape, but works and does not leak.
-Radio is present but isn't working.
-AC compressor and all parts are in place but also doesn't work.
-No lies, this truck would need a lot of work but would be a great truck to restore because it is now historic if I'm not mistaken.

Hadn't started the truck in a while. Got a new battery, put in some fuel stabilizer, and the truck started right up. Still sounds very smooth! Transmission engages fine and all gears work fine.

Included will be eight tires in addition to the four on it which are used but have a good amount of tread left.

Even considering the condition. Looking around the web and checking websites for valuation, seeing what these sell for even in this condition, the ballpark that I am after is more than fair.
Obviously, this is local pickup only and will need to be towed to new owner's destination, at new owner's expense.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
