This has been and still is a great running car.  My son used it to drive to college and/or work at least 4-5 days per week.
There is less than 82,000 miles on the car. He maintained it regularly with the mechanic that takes care of all our vehicles.  
I can provide the mechanics information and you can speak to me or the mechanic directly regarding this car. 
The mechanic has referred this car to a couple customers, so it may not make it to the end of auction. It could be sold early locally. 

THE GOOD!  
The engine is great and very dependable, gets really good MPG, has no leaks and runs as it should.  All maintenance is up to date. 
We just installed a new Catalytic Converter ($400) so it would pass smog here in California. Smog will be completed prior to your pick up. 
The brakes are good and the transmission shifts smooth through all the automatic gears. The Air Conditioner blows very cold. 
There is no chips or cracks in the glass. The interior looks good, it has dark gray stain resistant fabric with a split fold down rear seat. 
It drives straight and true as it travels down the road. Alignment recently done. Our mechanic was not concerned about the vehicle's history report. 
All the electrical items work: turn signals- headlights - outlets - interior lights.

The Not So Good!  
As indicated there is a salvage title, not a big deal on an older car at this price. The previous damage was contained to the front end and repaired.
Our mechanic has inspected the car numerous times and does not see the damage indicated on the history report.  
There have been a few other minor incidents to the grill and fenders. We have replaced the fenders. The grill can use more work. 
There are a few dents in the hood from a group of kids that wanted to make some noise on New Years Eve.  The hood has a few dents in the metal. 
There are a couple small cracks in the plastic where the sun hits the dash.  But the rest of the dash looks pretty good. 
There are a couple bumper stickers and a magnet that did not come off as they should have (a residue is stuck on the rear fender).
Like I said,  We call this the "Blue Shrek"!!  Not so good looking, but a strong heart with a great attitude.  

This would be a good car for a student or someone that needs a dependable car for driving around.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
