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!).

GM's Oshawa plant may close after Camaro production moves

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Most of the time, when vehicle production is moved from one assembly plant to another, it spells bad news for the former. While General Motors won't go so far as to say its Oshawa, Ontario factory, which is losing the Chevrolet Camaro to the Lansing Grand River plant, is in trouble, analysts seem to think the factory's days are numbered. Forecasts for the facility are far from positive. The loss of the Camaro this year, combined with GM's targeted shutdown of a single-shift assembly line responsible for the fleet-only Chevy Impala Limited and the Equinox crossover is a bad enough omen. But with AutoForecast Solutions CEO Joe McCabe telling The Detroit News that the plant's other two products, the Cadillac XTS and Buick Regal, aren't likely to stick around beyond 2017, things look decidedly grim at Oshawa. "There is a fairly strong chance that the plant could close," Jeff Schuster, senior VP of forecasting for LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. That doesn't mean that Unifor, Canada's auto union, and the Canadian government are going to let the factory die without a fight. And with the latter chipping in $10 billion as part of GM's 2009 bailout, you might think it has a degree of leverage in the situation. A meeting between the government and the Detroit Three at the 2015 North American International Auto Show revealed that Oshawa is already a topic of conversation. "We made it very clear that we would like to see an indication on the future of Oshawa sooner, in particular because the timing is very challenging for our supply chain to be able to adjust to potentially future orders or changes, but also to know that there are going to be future opportunities at Oshawa," Ontario's Minister of Economic, Development, Employment and Infrastructure Brad Duguid told The Detroit News. "Bottom line: It's time they made a longer-term commitment here," Unifor President Jerry Dias said, echoing Duguid's statements. It's unclear if this sort of strong talk will be enough to save 3,300-plus employees, although based on the analysts' forecasts, we doubt it.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

2021 GMC Canyon trims overhauled, SL and SLT disappear

Sun, Feb 2 2020

Until this year, the GMC Canyon has offered six trims in two drivetrains: SL, a base model simply called Canyon, SLE, All Terrain, SLT, and Denali, with all but the SL available in either 2WD or 4WD. GM Authority credits "dealer sources" for news that the 2021 Canyon has had its trim steps overhauled. According to the chart in the report, the SL and SLT are no more, the base Canyon gets replaced by a trim called Elevation Standard, and SLE turns into Elevation. We already know that All Terrain has given way to AT4, while Denali remains in the top spot. Trim content doesn't change with the names, but there's no equivalent for the SLT trim in terms of spec. The GMC site lists the 2020 SLE and SLT on the same page, and a shopper must burrow into the spec comparison page to figure out the differences. The SLT only comes with the 3.6-liter V6 and eight-speed transmission, and makes features like remote start, climate control, heated mirrors, heated seats, hitch guidance, and a spare tire standard equipment. It also chromes the exterior door handles, and offers a Cocoa/Dune leather interior that can't be had on the SLE. It's possible the SLT's $4,700 premium over the SLE led more buyers to start with the SLE and add the engine and options they wanted.   We have a number of questions that we'll need to wait for GMC's official announcement to answer. The 2020 Canyon offers an Elevation Edition package for $650 that adds a black grille with body-colored surround, and 18-inch Satin Graphite wheels in all-terrain rubber. There's also a California Elevation Special Edition for $1,195 with all-weather floor liners, assist steps, and mud flaps. They could be optioned on the SLE but not the SLT. With the addition of two Elevation trims, we'll find out if the packages get renamed or go away. Separately, CarBuzz spotted a 2021 GM Fleet Order Guide that mentions a leveling kit option, LPO Code SQS, for the Canyon and the Chevrolet Colorado. We noted the inclusion of a leveling kit in the coming Canyon AT4 Off-Road Performance Package. According to the order guide, the option can be ordered only for the Canyon AT4 trim, but it's not clear if that's an a la carte choice or if buyers must order the Off-Road Performance Package. On the Chevy, the rake-removal equipment can be had with the Colorado 4x2 Z71 or the 4x4 Work Truck, LT, and Z71. Related Video:
