I have a black, manual transmission, 1998 V6 Chevy Camaro for sale.  The car has ~118,000 miles on it and it comes with two sets of tires and rims. A set of winter tires is currently on the car and these are mounted on Z28 rims. The stock rims have all-season tires and one tire didn't pass inspection, so I didn't put that set on it. You'll need to replace two of the tires. The other two have life left on them.  I do have another all-season radial not on a rim that will work and your welcome to take it.  It will replace the tire that didn't pass inspection, but the treads won't match.  Suffice it to say, this car comes with lots of tires and rims.

Here are some details about the car.

The car is a good runner!  It has only been driven in the summer and early fall for the last six years and has probably seen maybe 1,500 miles a year since then.  There's nothing mechanically outstanding about this vehicle. It has the original exhaust that runs fine. The undercarriage is in good shape. The brakes are in fine shape and the car passed inspection without a problem (except for the one tire). The brakes do NOT pulsate, which is common with the Camaro if driven in the snow.   It has not been driven in the snow in six years.  The interior is in good shape, although there is wear and age on some panels. Fog lights work perfectly.  All the window motors are working, but a little slow. The power locks, trunk release, and security system work fine. The air conditioner works fine and blasts frigid-cold air very well. The battery was replaced in 2009. The alternator was replaced in 2010. All the marker lights, turn signals, and headlights are operational. It comes with two new remotes.  All scheduled maintenance and oil changes were done on time, with oil changes performed well ahead of schedule (every 1,500 miles) when the car was new. I always use synthetic oil. 

One nice feature of this car is the upgraded sound system.  When I bought the car in late 1997, I had the original stereo, speakers, and audio wiring removed. Gold-plated wiring was installed with a Boston Acoustics speaker system throughout the car. Tweeters are custom installed on the dash and the high frequencies project off the windshield to produce a nice sound field that centers the audio in the middle of the cabin. An Alpine amplifier is installed in the rear pit of the vehicle and all the wiring runs to this. The head unit is an Alpine CDA9805 50W (x 4) system coupled with a BBE crossover and 11-band EQ w/fader. I intended to custom build a subwoofer over the rear pit and wire it into the amp. The BBE crossover would manage the subwoofer and all the other speakers. I never got around to installing this, but it's an upgrade that could be added to the car. The Boston Acoustics speakers were replaced with a new system in 2006 that offered better low end. The car is a fun car to drive and I love the audio system in the vehicle. It's always been a primary part of the driving experience, for me.

Now for the problems.  This car is fifteen years old, so you have to accept a few things.

The right side of the dash cluster is out. In 2004 it stopped working and then sometime in 2005 it started working again and then shortly afterward it stopped again. It might just be an intermittent problem that requires the cluster to be reseated; I'm not sure. I never pursued having it fixed. The dash cluster works fine, otherwise, and I can see the mileage by shining a flashlight at an angle over the odometer.  All the gauges operate fine.

There's a scratch and dent on the hood around the front passenger headlight (see pics) from the car lunging forward in the garage and hitting a wheelbarrow. :-( There is some paint peeling off the lower front grill. There are a few scratches and door dings from being parked in parking lots over the years (normal stuff for a fifteen year-old car). The hood was replaced from a minor deer hit at a slow speed (~20 MPH). The deer flopped on the hood and dented it. It was replaced in 2005.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I can supply more pics, if interested. Come and give it a test drive. I'd like to find it a new home. With a wife and new baby, this car doesn't fit into our family structure. I need to sell it and get an SUV.

Nissan Leaf sales double Chevy Volt to close out winning 2014

Mon, Jan 5 2015

To close out the year, sales of the two most-popular plug-in vehicles in the US kept going in the direction that they had been all year. The Chevy Volt dropped and the Nissan Leaf had another record month. Sound familiar? The Volt sold 1,490 units in December, a year-to-year drop of 37.7 percent. For all of 2014, Volt sales were down 18.6 percent to just 18,805 (from 23,094 in 2013). On the Nissan side of the ledger, the Leaf sold 3,102 units, up 22.7 percent from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. For the year, Nissan sold 30,200 Leafs, up 33.6 percent from the 22,610 sold in 2013. A few other things to note: For every month in 2014, the Leaf sold more than it did for the same month in 2013. For the Volt, this was only true for three months (April, May and July). Funnily enough, the Volt sold exactly 1,478 units in both March 2013 and 2014. The Volt's 2014 total was lower than both 2013 and 2012, while the Leaf had its best year ever. There were three months in 2014 when people bought at least twice as many Leafs than bought a Volt (September, November, December). The Leaf outsold the Volt every month in 2014. The closest gap was 215 units, in February. The biggest was 1,612, in December. As you've most likely seen, GM is still busy teasing the new Volt, which will make its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week. We'll have a more in-depth green car sales post up soon. <iframe embedded="true" "="" scrolling="no" src="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oIuH75vaSHaaplD4x6gLsYjSsiN4oGmez1T63eaYdhY/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false" height="430"> Nissan celebrates 30,000 leaf sales in 2014, best year ever for sales of any plug-in vehicle NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 5, 2015) – Nissan, the world leader in electric vehicle sales, shattered yet another sales record with 30,200 LEAF vehicles sold in 2014, which is the first time any plug-in has sold more than 30,000 units in a single year. "Now in its fifth model year, Nissan LEAF is more popular than ever and continues to bring new buyers to Nissan," said Brendan Jones, director, Nissan Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure. "From the beginning our vision was to bring electric vehicles to the mass market in a practical and fun-to-drive package, which is what makes Nissan LEAF the best-selling electric car in the world." Last month, Nissan sold 3,102 all-electric LEAFs, up 22.7 percent from the prior year and a December record.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax reportedly dead after 2022

Fri, Mar 18 2022

The Buick Encore will not get an encore, and the Chevrolet Trax is dead in its tracks. Separate unverified reports say the two crossovers, which are essentially identical underneath the sheetmetal, will retire at the end of the 2022 model year without being directly replaced. Citing anonymous sources, enthusiast website GM Authority wrote that production of the Encore and the Trax is scheduled to end in the third quarter of 2022. Both models are manufactured in Bupyeong-gu, South Korea, and General Motors will reportedly use the extra production capacity to build more examples of the Trailblazer, which outsold the Encore and the Trax combined by a significant margin in 2021. General Motors hasn't commented on the report, but we wouldn't be surprised if the end is indeed near for the Encore and the Trax. Buick released the Encore for the 2013 model year, and Chevrolet launched the Trax for 2015, but the model made its debut as the Opel Mokka in 2012. It's at the end of its life cycle, and sales figures reflect this: 20,072 units of the Encore were sold in America in 2021, a drop of 52% compared to 2020, while 42,590 examples of the Trax found a home, a 60% decline. It's further proof that Americans don't like small cars. Viewed in that light, the decision not to replace either crossover makes perfect sense. If the report is accurate, the Encore GX (which is not related to the Encore in any way) will enter the 2023 model year as Buick's entry-level model. The situation is a little more complicated at Chevrolet: The pocket-sized Spark is on its way out in 2022 as well, meaning that the Trailblazer will become the entry point into the range. It's a different story in Europe: Opel, which is now part of the Stellantis group, released the second-generation Mokka in June 2020.
