1992 Chevrolet Caprice Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l Very Low Miles!! on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Okay, Ebay nation, I have had it with Craigslist and all the " I'll bring the money tomorrow" speeches. I have had 3 seperate offers of 2600.00, 2500.00 and 2300.00, never to have heard from the offerees again or the ever popular " hold it for me for one more week". So here it goes- It's a 1992 Caprice with 32,860 original miles. I believe I am listed as the 3rd owner but really the 2nd. I bought it from and elderly couple in south central Pennsylvania. The story as they told me was it was a dealership courtesy car in Virginia, came to an auction house a year later with a little over 12,000 miles and these nice folks bought it. They had it until January of 2013, when I bought it from them with just under 27,000 miles. When I bought the car and took it to my mechanics for state inspection, they advised me to get new tires on the front. They were nearly new with about 90% of their tread still there. My mechanic advised me that the front tires did have plenty of tread depth left but that they were over 10 years old and wouldn't stick to the road that well. This car sat a whole lot of time in their business garage without being used. I also had the replace the complete rear brake assembly: shoes, drums and wheel cylinders which had deteriorated over time from non use. The front tires have less than 6000 miles on them and I just replaced the rears, all matching Kuhmo( I think that's how it's spelled) whitewalls. The rear tires were replaced for this years state inspection and have less than 700 miles on them. New EGR valve, fairly new plugs and wires and serpentine belt. The car runs like a dream. This isn't a guarantee, but you could probably drive cross country and never miss a beat. Has new oil change and coolant was flushed and replaced with new thermostat about 6000 miles ago. I had the A/C serviced last summer and it's cold as ice. Body is straight and paint is clean save for some minor scratches and chips that can't be seen unless you are on top of them. Refer to one of the pictures for a very minor ding on the rear passenger quarter. I removed all the beltline trim as I preferred the smooth look. The interior in nice and clean, no rips on seats and no cracks on dash, door panels or armrests.Carpets are in decent shape. A little dirty at the moment but clean up nice and have a little bit of fading from time.Headliner has zero sag. Seats are not power but manual. Has base am/fm cassette radio that works fine.Nice clean trunk with spare and spare cover. I don't have any pics of the trunk( forgot!) but if you want to see it I will try to accomodate. Engine starts and runs nicely and runs very, very cool. The temp gauge only goes up about a thrid of the way. My wife and I took a trip to Pennsylvania Dutch country in September and we opted to take our Caprice rather than our 2012 Jeep. This is a nice highway car. But alas, we needed a big truck with 4 wheel drive (the Philly region is about to be hit with its 15th snowstorm!) as we swap cars with a son that still lives at home. He was using the Caprice on weekdays and we would use it on weekends but the Caprice is not great in the snow so it's been sitting. I struggled with keeping it because of the low miles but we probably won't use it much, sad to say. So Craigslist didn't yield anyone serious but I hope that if you like the car, that you will follow through with the purchase if you should win the auction. Email questions. I am starting low and letting it go where it will. You may get a great car for a good price. Clear title from PA in my name. If you are in the philadelphia area, you may come over for a look. We can take it for a neighborhood drive but I have to be behind the wheel as I have taken the insurance off and the car now resides exclusively in my garage. Thanks for looking! p.s. The horn stopped working since inspection. Since the car has hardly been used, it may be something minor. I don't think it's a fuse but maybe a contact issue. All glass in good shape. All windows work but the right rear comes back up on an angle and you have to help it by hand. I want to disclose all I know so nobody gets any surprises. Thanks again. p.s.s. I forgot to mention that I have a pair of aftermarket, fiberglass fender skirts that are in the trunk. They are new and will have to be painted but they will add a cool look. I have a pic of one of the skirts included. p.s.s.s. I keep thinking of stuff- I have receipts for all the work done. Receipts are in the glovebox. If you want to know what I had done and breakdown of cost, give me a holler.Had some requests for pics of the engine. I just added 3. I hadn't detailed the engine compartment so you see it au naturale. I did forget to mention that the previous owners had put on a new alternator but I couldn't swear when and had changed the battery at the same time. p.s.s.s.s. I have had a couple questions about the bumpers and molding strips. I did remove them all around. The bumpers are in decent shape with the paint being duller on the bumpers. The rear bumper has a slight crack behind the license plate.By the way, the winner will win by friday night. My wife and I will be away friday til sunday afternoon. But I will try to contact winner via the hotel computers(I don't own a laptop, I'm too cheap to buy one!).

Weekly Recap: Electric Rapide concept showcases Aston's future
Sat, Oct 24 2015Aston Martin showed off an all-electric Rapide S prototype this week and announced an agreement with investment firm ChinaEquity to explore development of a production version of the sports sedan. The car could arrive in about two years if the project advances, and it would be built in Gaydon, England. The concept car, called the "RapidE" was developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. The electric Rapide is meant to highlight British innovation, and it was revealed during a state visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping to the United Kingdom. Spec were not available for the concept on display. "The car we showed in London is a fully running concept but not yet defining [of] our choice of battery, motor, inverter, etc," spokesman Simon Sproule said. "Now that we have a clearer path for producing the car, we will be defining all the parameters." Aston Martin has been vocal about its electric ambitions this year, and Sproule told us at the New York Auto Show that an all-electric Rapide could cost $200,000 to $250,000 or more. "It's a study, but we're serious about it," he said. Some reports have indicated the electric Rapide could pack as much as 1,000 horsepower. Aston considers electric technology the strongest play for modernizing its powertrains and meeting emissions standards around the world. Hybrids and all-electric models can offer high outputs and strong torque delivery, which is in keeping with the Aston's image as a sportscar maker. Company brass prefer this option over dropping down to four-cylinder engines. And yes, V8s and V12s remain part of the plan. The electric push is part of Aston's future strategy to remake its lineup, which includes refreshing its sportscars, building a production version of the electric all-wheel-drive DBX concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and adding a four-door Lagonda. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Domino's serves up purpose-built delivery car Domino's revealed a purpose-built pizza delivery car based on the Chevy Spark. It's called the DXP, for Delivery Expert, and it can handle up to 80 pizzas. The pies stay warm thanks to an oven located behind the driver's seat, and the DXP is sauced up with a puddle-lighting feature that projects the Domino's logo outside of the car. Power comes from the Spark's stock 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 84 hp that gets up to 39 mpg on the highway. Chevy dealers will be trained to service the DXP.
These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.
