Vehicle is equipped with a 2.2L 4-cylinder bi-fuel engine, which averages around 28 MPG. The CNG tank can hold around 5-6 GGEs (gallons) and the regular fuel tank holds about 12 gallons. This gives you a range of 500+ miles. This car has four Goodyear tires. Although the pictures show a mounted power inverter and floor mats, both of these have been removed. The inverter was really nice and could be remounted; I'd be happy to include that with the car (just let me know). I've placed the generic floor mats (from Costco) in a different car... sorry. The inverter is nice because it allows you to plug in your regular computer, phone charger, etc. without fiddling around with the DC outlet and related accessories.
There is a mechanical problem that you should be aware of, which I'm told will cost between $600-$2,000 to fix. As a student I do not have the time, money, or inclination to fix it. The vehicle starts up and drives, but it cannot travel long distances because it overheats. I've had 2 mechanics look at it and they agree that the head gasket is blown. Therefore, I am selling as is with no warranty expressed, written, or implied. This would be a great vehicle for someone who is mechanically inclined. My mechanic quoted me the following scenarios: (a) $600 to rebuild the engine with a 50/50 outcome, (b) $1,000 to replace the engine with a used one, or (c) $2,000 to replace with a new engine. In any of the 3 cases the vehicle would retain it's CNG capability. You could do the labor yourself and have a CNG vehicle for much less.
I've also noted that the passenger's side headlight is more dim than the driver's. As I understand, this is a common problem for these vehicles, but I have not investigated how to fix it. Also, I noticed that the A/C had difficulty working when the vehicle was at a standstill. Works great when driving. Despite this, the vehicle and A/C did wonderful in the blistering Arizona heat. The body and interior have wear typical of a vehicle its age. There are also cracks in the dash (see picture), especially near the driver's side windshield. Headboard in good condition, but the visors are not (see picture).
At the very least, this would be a great parts vehicle for someone with an existing CNG cavalier (i.e., donor car), as you would still qualify for the tax credit and obtain expensive CNG parts at a fraction of the normal cost.

GM puts e-commerce shopping in car dashboards
Tue, Dec 5 2017DETROIT — General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving. GM's Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said. GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said. "This platform is financed by the merchants," Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant's application on its screens, and "there's some level of revenue sharing" based on each transaction, he said. It is too soon to say how much revenue GM could realize from the Marketplace system, he said. The GM Marketplace will compete for customer clicks and revenue with hand-held smartphones, which offer a far richer array of applications than the GM system will at the outset. Amazon.com is partnering with other automakers, including Ford, to offer in-car e-commerce capability through Amazon's Alexa personal assistant system. For example, GM will launch Marketplace with just Shell and Exxon Mobil icons in the fuel category. The only restaurant available for in-car table reservations at launch is the chain TGI Fridays, GM said. In addition, there will be apps for parking, and ordering ahead at coffee shops and restaurants such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Applebee's. "We will be adding more vendors," with some coming in the first quarter of 2018, Chamorro said. In addition, he said GM plans to expand integration into its vehicles of music, news and other information services. GM also hopes to use its in-car Marketplace connections to expand purchases of products and services, such as additional access to in-car wifi, from its own replacement parts business and dealer network. Customers can "expect to see more service promotions coming through the platform," Chamorro said. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video:
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
