********************************************************************************************

Offered is a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS convertible, 2.4L I4 MPI.  This Chevrolet has 120,410 miles and is being sold, as is with NO RESERVE so we do not have to re-list.  This Chevrolet is being auctioned by the Woodridge Illinois Police Department.  The history of this vehicle is unknown as it was seized in a traffic-stop arrest that occurred on November 14th, 2013.  Following the arrest this Chevrolet was stored in a warehouse.  It was awarded to the Woodridge Police by court order on March 3rd, 2013 and we hold clear title.

We will attempt to describe this vehicle to the best of our ability and you may inspect the vehicle, in person, by appointment.

The body has scratches, scuff marks and dents.  There is rust near the rear wheel-wells and where the rear bumper meets the trunk.  The weather stripping at the top of the windshield is cracked.  The power convertible top works as expected but there is a small rip in the convertible top located near the rear driver’s side window.  See photos. 

The interior is dirty and shows ware.  There are cracks in the plastic of both door panels and the dashboard.  See photos.    

During a brief test drive, the Chevrolet accelerated and handled as expected for a vehicle of this age and condition.  There was noise from the rear during braking and the Chevrolet may need brake work.  There was some muffler noise during acceleration.  The air conditioner blows cold.  The bottom of the engine is wet with fluid (see photos). It is suggested that the buyer have this Chevrolet inspected/serviced by a qualified mechanic before use.  See photos.   

The NADA listed value for this 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS convertible 2D is $875 for "Rough Trade-In", $1,375 for "Average Trade-In" and $1,775 for "Clean Trade-In".  We would place this vehicle in the “Rough” category but it is always recommended that you inspect the vehicle and make your own assessments before bidding.

These vehicles have an unknown prior history and are NOT inspected by us prior to auction.  You may inspect this vehicle, in person, by appointment and make your own assessments before bidding.

North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed

Thu, Nov 17 2022

The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities.  The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit.  The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year.  Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting.  50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.

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.
