Up for sale is one Caprice PPV Police Vehicle. Privately Owned, I purchased this vehicle NEW on July 25, 2012 from Coughlin Automotive Columbus, Ohio. FULL GM warranty 3YR/36,000 bumper to bumper 5YR/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty. automatically transfers to new owner. Warranty start date 7/26/2012 & 78 miles. 100% stock drivetrain. This vehicle is not sold to the general public new. I am a police officer so I was able to purchase it new. It is a bare bones, kick a** hot rod sedan right out of the box. It was built and designed in europe, as such it has all the great performance aspects of a high dollar european sports sedan. This vehicle is unlike any american made sedan past or present. The new SS is the same car with a shorter wheelbase, as is the Camaro. The Pontiac G8 GT was the same car with a shorter wheelbase. What sets this vehicle apart is this; The Caprice is marketed as a police pursuit vehicle and sold as such. Not sold to the public new. It should be. It is an overall better performer on the track than a Pontiac G8 GT because the shift algorithm is set for the absolute best upshifts and downshifts (during aggressive driving) without regard to fuel mileage. It also will detect aggressive driving and downshift automatically to the best gear and hold that gear until redline for powering out of curves, etc. (called pursuit mode). It also has heavy duty suspension and unibody. Same brakes as the Camaro. With the L77 (LS2 block) with 355 HP and 385 torque this car will pull 0-60 around 6 seconds, but the torque along with the 6 speed transmission will absolutely blow your mind at highway speeds. Top speed of 155 MPH. It will stop in 129 feet from 60-0 the fastest stop time of any police vehicle. The L77 is basically a LS2 with L92 rectangular port heads (823 casting), Electronic throttle with 90mm body, High capacity fuel injectors (for E85) and a LS3 intake from the Corvette. This engine can easily be tuned to produce over 400 Horsepower on premium fuel or E85. This vehicle has cylinder deactivation for fuel economy. It DOES NOT have variable valve timing. The stock Goodyear Eagle RSA tires do hold the true handling of this car back, (as evident in test video's) as they are all season heavy duty tires designed for police use. I recommend summer only tires or Eagle GT tires when the stock tires need replaced. MSRP new $32,180 Feel free to message or email any questions. Full documentation along with many news articles and video's on this super car included. Here is a sample

The roominess in this vehicle is amazing. The trunk is also very big, much bigger than the Charger. The rear seat vinyl looks and feels like leather. The front seats are 1/2 vinyl (upper) and cloth (lower) and looks very nice. 6 way power seats with power lumbar and recliner
The Caprice is basically a stretched wheelbase Holden Commodore and sold as the Holden Statesman/Caprice in Australia and the Chevrolet Caprice in the Middle East. Built on the GM Zeta platform, it shares this platform with the Camaro and the new SS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Zeta_platform
Camaro and Pontiac G8 wheels can be mounted to this vehicle and there are many aftermarket wheels in 18 and 19 inch sizes that will make this vehicle more sporty looking (see pics)

The factory stereo/cd is still operational and feeds into the center dash speaker. It is not upgradeable to Bluetooth in the police vehicle in the USA so I installed the aftermarket unit.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

Chevy Spark EV will go on sale in Maryland
Thu, Jan 22 2015The single-charge range of a Chevrolet Spark electric vehicle may not blow away anyone who's used to driving on a topped off tank of gas. But a full charge will actually get a Spark EV about halfway across the state of Maryland. Which is good because that state will be the first on the East Coast to sell the battery-electric model. General Motors said this week that Chevy Spark EV sales will start in Maryland this spring, and that federal and Maryland tax credits will get the out-of-pocket price of the Spark EV below the $18,000 threshold. GM took the opportunity to tout the Spark EV's 119 miles per gallon equivalent rating and says Maryland has sufficient charging infrastructure for drivers to welcome the EV without too much trouble. Last June, Spark EV distribution was reported to be ready to extend beyond the Pacific Coast. Specifically, Ohio was thought to be next in line to get Spark electric vehicles after four state car dealerships listed the model on their websites. GM's Randy Fox, however, quashed that real quick, saying only California and Oregon had sufficient infrastructure to support the Spark EV. GM first announced the Spark EV for public (or at least American) consumption back in 2011. Last year, the General sold 1,145 Spark EVs, up 87 percent from 2013. For more on the Maryland expansion, take a look at GM's press release below. Chevrolet Spark EV Plugs into Maryland Customer demand drives addition of East Coast; features locally sourced drive unit 2015-01-22 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Chevrolet will start selling the Spark EV in Maryland this spring, expanding the pure electric mini-car's "range" to the East Coast. The Spark EV is the most efficient U.S. retail electric vehicle on the market, delivering an EPA-estimated combined city/highway 119 MPGe fuel economy equivalent and 82 miles of EPA-estimated combined city/highway range. It is priced as low as $17,845, after federal and Maryland tax credits – and it features a locally sourced electric motor and drive unit, manufactured at General Motors' Baltimore Operations facility in White Marsh, Md. "The Spark EV has been one of the most well-received electric vehicles in the industry and customer demand helped make the decision to expand its availability to Maryland," said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet director of car marketing.
