This auction is for a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze LT sedan finished in Silver Ice Metallic with the Jet Black interior and is the loaded 2LT version. It’s powered by a turbocharged 1.4 liter dual overhead cam 16-valve Ecotec engine that has received numerous rave reviews by engineers and the automotive press for it’s high power output, excellent economy and inherent smoothness. With a turbocharger, the Cruze LT engine gets better gas mileage than the base LS model that has a 1.8L non-turbo motor, while putting out the same horsepower and even 20 percent more torque. This engine features a cast iron block for maximum durability, chain-driven cams for reduced maintenance (the 1.8L engine in the LS has a timing belt that must be replaced periodically), variable valve timing for maximum power output at all engine speeds, an aluminum cylinder head for reduced weight and greater heat dissipation and an electronically controlled thermostat combined with an integrated oil cooler to keep the engine operating at it’s peak efficiency.

The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control (DSC®). This transmission has low first and second gears that provide brisk acceleration, while the high top gear allows for effortless highway cruising and excellent gas mileage. With Driver Shift Control you can move the shifter to the left and then tap it up or down to shift the transmission like a manual for more control on winding roads and provide greater power and acceleration for passing maneuvers. Integrated into the transmission is an all-season Traction Control System (TCS®) which helps to get you through ice and snow covered roads with ease, and the StabiliTrak® system which is an advanced electronic stability program (ESP) that helps the car stay on the road through curves and abrupt maneuvers. Rounding out the Cruze powertrain is a chassis made to smooth out your daily commute while still having fun on twisting roads. Start off with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension, Watts Z-link rear suspension and high performance 17 inch tires. Add rack and pinion Electric Power Steering (EPS) for precise road feel, and a stiffer chassis design than many other small vehicles, and you have a car that is quicker, faster and handles better than many others in it’s class.

The styling of the Chevy Cruze features clean highly sculpted lines and distinct angles while adding bold and aggressive elements to form a beautiful modern design. If you are tired of other cars with bland organic or jellybean styling, the Cruze is the automobile for you. A quick walk around the car reveals how the Cruze is one of the most stylish vehicles ever created in the compact class of automobiles. From up front, its sharp sleek lines with black bi-level honeycomb grille, steeply raked windshield, clear lens headlights and jewel effect reflectors with Audi and Mercedes influenced L.E.D. daytime running lights flow into sweeping curves along the sides of the car with body colored mirrors and door handles for a monochromatic look. Then, going back, they meld into large wheel arches filled with wide low profile tires mounted on some of the best looking wheels ever produced by a car maker, bright machine finish and clearcoated five spoke rims that would look great on a Camaro or Corvette. Then at the rear you have a short trunk lid with a spoiler and a roof mounted Euro-style antenna, suggesting this car is ready to take off at any moment. It’s chic Euro-styling that looks handsome from any angle without being flashy. It takes numerous styling cues from pricier German sports sedans as well as creating some that are all it’s own. It’s no coincidence that the Cruze is based on an Opel design from Germany.

As stylish as the outside is, the inside is just as nice with a high tech design that is feast for the eyes and senses. Borrowed from the Corvette, it’s twin-cockpit design is both functional and beautiful to look at. Get in and sit down in a leather bucket seat that feels supportive yet comfortable for a 12 hour drive. Adjust the seat to the perfect driving position with the 6-way power adjustment knob and manual recline function. Then grab the thick padded wheel and adjust the tilt steering column to achieve complete driving control. Notice how the steering wheel mounted cruise control and infotainment switches are just a fingertip away. Next, look ahead at the dashboard that flows seamlessly into the door panels noting the sporty mesh cloth trim. The instrument cluster is trimmed with titanium bezels and is backlit with light-emitting diode (LED) technology that provides a cool-blue illumination of the analog gauges and a Driver Information Center (DIC) displays vital functions and warnings. Now glance at the center stack and how simple the radio and climate controls are to operate with functions being displayed on the Infotainment Display Screen (IDS). Look right and left at the titanium accents on the console, dash and shifter, along with chrome surrounds on various knobs and switches and the premium leather upholstery that has a soft supple feel. Finally, take a deep breath through your nose and take in that new car smell that can’t be duplicated by any sprays or pine tree air fresheners. Not only is the styling beautiful to see, but all the textures have a rich feel and look and all the switchgear have a precise soft touch action. From the dimpling on the steering wheel, the leather seat upholstery, the textured graining pattern on the dash and door panels, or the layout of the knobs and switches throughout the cabin, everything looks and feels like it came from a more expensive car.

This car was a flood car. The only things that are not working are: the horn and heated seats. These two items are stored under the seat and that is where the water line on speakers show. Water did not get above console or dash. The engine and transmission never had water in them. The airbag light is on in the dash. Included with this car is a brand new, in the box, from GM is a air bag module. Also included with purchase, is a brand new, in the box, from GM body control module. Everything else on vehicle works 98% of the time. Every now in then the dash goes out, but car continues to drive smoothly. This car drives and runs extremely smoothly, like it should. 

The miles are not actual as seen in photo as when we unplugged the battery it caused the mileage to reset. At the point of reset, the car had approximately 6, 300 miles. 

There is a small dent in driver's side rear quarter panel by taillight. It is pictured above. This dent is due to me backing into a basketball hoop. Car is registered, insured, and driven at this time.

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.

Thu, Jul 14 2022

All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.

The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015

Thu, Jan 14 2016

According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.

GM earnings rise 1% as buyers pay more for popular pickups

Thu, Aug 1 2019

DETROIT — General Motors said Thursday that higher prices for popular pickup trucks and SUVs helped overcome slowing global sales and profit rose by 1% in the second quarter. The Detroit automaker said it made $2.42 billion, or $1.66 per share, from April through June. Adjusting for restructuring costs, GM made $1.64 per share, blowing by analyst estimates of $1.44. Quarterly revenue fell 2% to $36.06 billion, but still beat estimates. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $35.97 billion. Global sales fell 6% to 1.94 million vehicles led by declines in North America and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company says sales in China were weak, and it expects that to continue through the year. In the United States, customers paid an average of $41,461 for a GM vehicle during the quarter, an increase of 2.2%, as buyers went for loaded-out pickups and SUVs, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site. The U.S. is GM's most profitable market. Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara said she expects the strong pricing to continue, especially as GM rolls out a diesel pickup and new heavy-duty trucks in the second half of the year. "We think the fundamentals do remain strong, especially in the truck market," she said, adding that strength in the overall economy and aging trucks now on the road should help keep the trend going. Light trucks accounted for 83.1% of GM's sales in the quarter, and pickup truck sales rose 8.5% as GM transitioned to new models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, according to Edmunds, which provides content to The Associated Press. As usual, GM made most of its money in North America, reporting $3 billion in pretax earnings. International operations including China broke even, while the company spent $300 million on its GM Cruise automated vehicle unit. Its financial arm made $500 million in pretax income. Suryadevara said GM saw $700 million in savings during the quarter from restructuring actions announced late last year that included cutting about 8,000 white-collar workers through layoffs, buyouts and early retirements. The company also announced plans to close five North American factories, shedding another 6,000 jobs. About 3,000 factory workers in the U.S. whose jobs were eliminated at four plants will be placed at other factories, but they could have to relocate. GM expects the restructuring to generate $2 billion to $2.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of this year.
