What a great car this is! I hate to sell it -- it was my commuter car for 4 years and has been reliable, fun, and fast.

I drove 70 miles / day for 2 1/2 years, then 20 miles / day for 1 1/2 years. Now I'm living and working in NYC, and it's a big, big pain to own a car -- I've gotten hundreds of dollars of parking tickets, and a parking garage spot is more than rent in other cities I've lived in.

So ... it's way too expensive for the limited use I get (a few short day trips in the past 6 months).

I'm the second owner (the first was a man in his 50's who sold it to a dealership), and I've taken good care of this car. It's fun to drive fast, but I'm a middle-aged man beyond racing age, so the engine, transmission, etc. are in great shape. Here's a recording of the engine.

The car gets off the line fast--I got it specifically because it's faster than just about anything else you can buy for double the price. The supercharger gives it a lot of oomph, and the Recaro seats hold you in around curves and turns.

The car includes a Pioneer premium audio system with shark fin subwoofer and amplifier, but originally had the standard crappy GM head unit. It was the equivalent of attaching a tape deck to a high-end audio system, so I replaced it with a head unit that has a CD player and full EQ spectrum. The sound sparkles now.

The orange/copper paint pops on the road and catches lots of attention. I've had a lot of people compliment me on it. It especially shines in the late afternoon, almost looks like it's on fire.

The interior is in great condition -- seats are clean with no rips/tears. I don't smoke so there's just standard wear.

Body is in great shape except for a 2" scratch on hood (see pictures) from parking in NYC. One of two cigarette lighters does not work, and the cruise control has worked intermittently. The bevel around the sunroof switch broke so I bought a new one but haven't installed it yet. Otherwise I can't think of anything else that's wrong with it.

I've taken good care of the car and have taken it in for regular maintenance and checkups. I replaced the clutch around 55K miles, the current one still feels pretty tight. Always had synthetic oil changes at the prescribed intervals.

I hope to put this in good hands of someone who will enjoy it as much as I have! Feel free to reach out with any additional questions.

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles

Mon, Oct 19 2015

An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
