BUT THE CAR NEVER LEAKED ANYTHING TO THE INSIDE. THE CAR ALSO DOESNT LEAK ANY FLUIDS UNDERNEATH. I PARK IT IN MY GARAGE AND THERES A CARPET UNDERNEATH IT ANDS ITS CLEAN. THE FRONT OF THE CAR CONTAINS THE USUALLY SCATCHES AND SCUFFS FROM A LOW FRONT END CAR AND THE SAW BLADE RIMS ARE DECENT WITH THE CLEARCOAT WEAR ON THEM BUT ARE EASILY RESTORED TO NEW! IF YOU WANT TO STRIP THE CLEAR AND SAND THEM A FEW TIMES AND RE-CLEAR! SEEEN IT ON YOUTUBE. FRONT TIRES WERE NEW FROM PREVIOU.S OWNER AND I PUT THE REAR TIRES ON WHEN I GOT IT. THERE IS LESS THAN 300 MILES ON THE TIRES/OIL/TUNE-UP/HEATERCORE. PREVIOUS OWNER DID CLUTCH WITHIN THE LAST 6-7 MONTHS, HEAD LIGHTS FLIP UP QUICKLY AND WORK AS THEY SHOULD, IT DOES HAVE A NICE SOUNDING BOSE SYSTEM BUT THE CD PLAYER DOESNT PLAY. TYPICAL BOSE PROBLEM. I USE A CASSETTE ADAPTER THING FROM RADIO SHACK AND PLAY MY MP3 PLAYER THRU IT. RADIO WORKS FINE. EXHAUST ELIMINATORS WERE PUT ON THE CAR RIGHT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT.

THE INTERIOR IS GRAY CLOTH CARPET AND LEATHER SEAT WITH BLACK CAR MATS AND BLACK REAR LINER, SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I HAD 2 LIGHTS POP UP ON THE DASH WARNING AREA. 1. LOW OIL: THERE IS A SENSOR FOR THE OIL LEVEL AND I WAS TOLD IT IS FAULTY, IT CAME ON A WEEK AFTER DOING AN OIL CHANGE. IT COMES ON AT START UP BUT WHEN GO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND AND RESTART IT IT GOES AWAY. MAYBE IT JUST NEEDS A CHANCE TO SENSE THE OIL IN THE CAR AND IS SLUGGISH IN DOING SO. IT ALWAYS GOES BACK OUT. 2. SERVICE ENGINE SOON CAME ON ONLY ONCE - A GUY FROM THE CHEVY FORUM TOLD ME TO OPEN THE GAS CAP AND RELEASE VAPOR PRESSURE AND IT WENT OUT. I HAD JUST ADDED A FUEL INJECOTOR CLEANER ( CHEVRON -TECHRON ) SO IT MUST HAVE MESSED WITH THE GAS TO CREATE A LITTLE EXTRA PRESSURE? DONT KNOW, THAT LIGHT WENT OUT. AND THATS PRETTY MUCH IT I GUESS. I GET COMPLIMENTS ON THE CAR SO I KNOW ITS NICE. I HAVE A HAD PLENTY OF TRADE OFFERS LOCALLY FOR HARLEYS AND CUSTOM BIKES AND HAD 2 DECENT CASH OFFERS BUT DIDNT TAKE THEM AT THE TIME. THE ABSOLUTE ONLY REASON FOR THE SELLING THE CAR, AS I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A FEW MONTHS, IS THAT MY JOB HAS TAKEN ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES OVERTIME AWAY AND I WAS GETTING 10 HOURS WEEKLY. THATS WHY I BOUGHT THE SECOND CAR I REALLY DIDNT NEED. SO ITS ALL FINANCIAL STUFF RIGHT NOW. THE CARS RUNS GREAT/SOUNDS GREAT/ AND LOOKS GREAT FOR THE YEAR. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANYTHING ELSE AND I WILL POST WHAT I HAVE FOR PICS. IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL PICS I CAN SEND THEM TO YOUR EMAIL. I CANT SEND PICS WITH MY PHONE SO DONT BOTHER SENDING ME YOUR CELL #. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
Junkyard Gem: 1985 Chevrolet Sprint
Thu, May 21 2020For in the 1985 model year, General Motors began selling Chevrolet-badged Suzuki Cultus hatchbacks in California. Sales of the cheap three-cylinder econobox in the rest of North America followed soon after (with the Canadian version known as the Pontiac Firefly), and did pretty well considering the crash in gasoline prices during the middle 1980s. Starting in 1988, the facelifted Sprint became the Geo (and, later on, Chevrolet) Metro. Here's one of the very first Cultuses sold on our shores, found in a San Francisco Bay Area car graveyard. Amazingly, the primitive rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet Chevette remained available all the way through 1987, competing with the thriftier front-wheel-drive Sprint in the same showrooms. For 1988, Pontiac started selling a rebadged Daewoo LeMans, so the Sprint/Metro never lacked for intra-corporate competition. Inside, you'll find the same stuff most mid-1980s Japanese econoboxes got: tough cloth upholstery and long-wearing hard plastics. Suzuki quality in 1985 wasn't quite up to Honda or Toyota levels, but you weren't paying Honda or Toyota prices for the Sprint. MSRP on this car started at $4,949, or about $12,000 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible 1985 Chevette cost $5,340, while a new no-frills Ford Escort would set you back $5,620. Subaru, however, could have put you in a punitively unappointed base-model Leone hatchback for just 40 bucks more than the Sprint that year. I think I'd have sprung the extra for a $5,348 Toyota Tercel, a $5,195 Mazda GLC, or— best cheap-commuter deal of all that year— the $5,399 Honda Civic 1300 hatchback. I was 19 years old and driving a Competition Orange 1968 Mercury Cyclone that year, and I recall feeling pity for Chevy Sprint drivers, new-car smell or not. Still, these weren't bad cars for the price, though a Sprint with an automatic transmission was a real character-builder. Got three cylinders and uses 'em all! 48 horsepower from this hemi-headed SOHC 1-liter. The Turbo Sprint — yes, such a car existed — had a howling 70 horsepower. The hood-latch release is a rectangular button that resembles a badge. 1985 Chevy Sprint Commercial The highest-mileage, lowest-priced car you can buy. 1985 holden barina commercial The Australian-market version was the Holden Barina, and the TV ads featured the Road Runner. 1983 SUZUKI CULTUS Ad In its homeland, this car got screaming guitars and a drive through New York City for its TV commercials.
Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York
Sat, Apr 4 2015Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus. View 32 Photos Meanwhile, Cadillac showed the CT6, a finished product that will top its range and is loaded with the best and latest technologies General Motors has at its disposal. With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
