Lots of extras!

 

Im selling my 2006 Chevy Colorado 2-Door Regular Cab. I am the original owner and have the clear title in hand ready for transfer. I have the original sticker price which was at $17,085! I Have put about 8,500 miles a year on the truck for a total of about 79k miles.
I recently moved to New York from Florida and bought a new car for my growing family. Since I never registered the truck in NY I garaged it for about 7 months. Now Im selling because I don't see myself using the truck anymore. The truck runs very good, starts up right away and the motor has absolutely no leaks!
It has the Fuel injected 2.8L I4 VORTEC Engine. Automatic Electronic Transmission. It has a GVW rating of 4850 lb. and a 3.73 rear axle ratio. I added some extras to the truck that I will mention further down.

It has Power Rack and Pinion Steering, Independent Front Suspension, 2 Stage rear leaf springs, front disc rear drum brakes. It has a 19.5 Gallon Fuel tank with a really good 23 mpg highway for those long road trips. For Safety and Security the truck has Dual stage front Air Bags w/ Passenger Sensing System, 4 Wheel anti-lock brakes, Daytime running Lamps with Auto Headlamps, latch child restraints and a passlock theft deterrent system. Interior has a 60/40 Split Bench Seat, Air conditioning, full vinyl flooring, Driver information center, Tachometer, Cruise control/tilt steering wheel.

The Bad:
-The truck has a dent on the rear right panel. A car was backing up and didn't see my parked truck. The dent honestly never bothered me so I never had it fixed. (See pics its really not that bad)
-The truck has a shopping cart scratch on the door. The truck bed inside walls have scratches throughout (I used to use it a lot).
- There is a small rock chip (dime size) on the windshield.
- When I recently started the truck up again, every once in a while when making a right turn or braking hard coming to a stop the truck sounds like it wants to stall. It did not do this before I garaged the car. I called chevy and inquired about the problem and they said most likely the throttle body needs to be cleaned and/or the spark plugs need to be replaced. The check engine light is NOT on so it should be an easy fix.
- The A.C. also stopped working on settings 1-3 but blows ice cold on setting 4. It didn't do this before I garaged the truck.

- The truck has an in-dash DVD/CD player indash TV installed but the faceplate with the buttons was pushed in to hard one day and thus you cant reach the buttons (needs to be refurbished). Although it does have an Aux Cable installed so you can connect your MP3 player to it and listen to music just fine.

THE GOOD:
Truck has a lot of new extras:
- Brand New Tonneu Bed Cover, which works nicely with the locking truck bed door! The bed also Has a GM heavy duty mat.
- Brand New High Flow Electric Pull Fan, Professionally installed at chevy. Lengthens the life of the water pump and improves gas mileage and hp.
- Brand New K&N Cold Air Intake system, Improves gas mileage and hp.
- Goodyear Wrangler All Weather Radial White Letter Tires. They have about 90% thread left. They are larger than stock, so the truck has a nice higher ride.
- I did the 60k maintenance so the car has all new breaks and fluid all done at chevy.
- The door windows and rear window have limo tint on it which helps keep the truck cool.
- All maintenance, oil changes exc. done at chevy dealership. So the truck has all records of how well its been maintained.

Shipping:

Shipping cost is the responsibility of the buyer. I can help with finding a shipper for you. The car is located in New York, Zip Code 11727
I did a quick search on google and saw a quote for about $1000 From New York to Los Angeles, California So shipping should be anywhere around that quote.

This is a No reserve auction for a great and clean truck. GOOD LUCK!

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:

These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.
