I bought this for my son last fall and he didn't like it and is now driving a different car. I have no need for this and it is just sitting taking up space. It's a 1988 Chevy Cavalier Convertible Z-24 2.8 Liter with an Auto Transmission. Being a 1988, it can be registered as a classic in the state of Maine and doesn't need to take a sticker again, but it would no problem. It has about 153,000 miles on it and is in great condition for being 25 years old.

The Bad:
I will list everything I know is wrong with it.The car runs great and drives fine until the tranny heats up and then it slips. I use it now and then for short trips to the store and it does fine. I've been told it just needs to have the fluid and filter changed, but I don't know if that's all or not. It has a small 4 inch tear on the top, but does not leak as there are 2 layers to the top and the tear is only on the outer layer. The top currently isn't working. Not sure if it is the switch or pump. Other than that, it has usual rust here and there but not excessive, Paint is chipped on front hood (see Pic) and has other minor blemishes. The rear wheel wells have the worst rust but can be repaired. Remember, It's a 25 year old car.

The Good:
Lot's of new stuff, Brakes, Tires, Gas Tank, Pump, and Lines. Interior is in great condition for the age although it does have a cassette player (kids, ask your parents what a cassette is) :) 


I recommend planning on towing or shipping this car as it probably won't go more than 15 to 20 miles before the Tranny overheats.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
