 2012 Chevrolet Equinox LS. Used, one owner, non-smoker car. Purchased new a little over two years ago. Only reason for selling, is because my wife and I have two kids, and are about to gain custody of her sisters two kids as well, and we need a bigger vehicle. Car has been great, only had one small warranty issue that the dealership fixed. Some kind of engine sensor went bad. Has been serviced by the dealership since day one. A lifetime, full service plan was purchased with the vehicle, and I'll see if I can get the dealership to transfer that to the new owner. Does come with a membership card for free roadside assistance, towing, lockout, key replacement, and travel services.

All owners manuals are still in car, and both key/keyless entry fobs. Has three 12v power outlets, one in rear cargo area, one in center console, with stereo aux input, and on in the front console. Full driver information system, shows tire pressures, two trip odometers, average/instantaneous MPG, average speed, etc. Has bluetooth connectivity, hands-free calling, On-star, XM radio(Subscription is good for another 3 months at least) MP3/CD, AC blows cold, heat works great. Power windows/locks, drivers power seat.

Rear seat slides forward, and folds down. Tons of cargo room in the back. Dealer installed floormats front and rear. Spare tire/jack/lug wrench have never been removed. Something under the spare still covered in bubble wrap.

2.4L ecotech motor, and 6spd auto transmission. Gets great fuel mileage, averages around 30-32 on the freeway, and 20-25 in town. Vehicle average says 24.4 right now, with 30 mph average speed. Great looking 17" wheels, with Michelin P225/65 Latitude tires. Plenty of tread left, always rotated on schedule by dealership.

Car has never been in any sort of accident, and never had any major work done. The only real defects are small paint/body cosmetics. Pictures show the front end has a few paint nicks, and scuffs on the lower valence from parking curbs and such. The back of the center console shows some small scuffs, and the door panels have a few as well.

I'm going to talk to the dealership tomorrow to see if the paint issues can be fixed under warranty, and to see if the service plan will transfer. I am also going to see if they will inspect it and give me some kind of "certified pre-owned" document, since I'm sure they would resell it as such if I traded it in to them. I will update this listing once I talk to them about the above items.

The car is still under warranty. The basic warranty is 3yr/36,000 miles, and the powertrain is at least 5 years/100,000 miles. My dealership offers a lifetime powertrain warranty, but I will have to check with them to see if that transfers to a new owner.

Weekly Recap: BMW rolls out ambitious plug-in hybrid electric plan

Sat, Dec 6 2014

"We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important." – Julian Arguelles Let there be no doubt, BMW is serious about electric vehicles. The German automaker said this week it will make plug-in hybrid versions of all of its core models, an aggressive move that demonstrates its commitment to electric propulsion systems. BMW did not specify which vehicles will get the plug-in systems or provide a timeline for when they will arrive. But the announcement is clearly more than blustering, and the company revealed a 3 Series plug-in prototype this week at an event in France. BMW said the 3 Series uses a version of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 horsepower, 300 pound feet of torque) with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission in place of the torque converter. It has an all-electric range of 22 miles. A plug-in X5 with the same powertrain was also displayed alongside the 3 Series, though the X5 has been on the auto-show circuit for more than a year, including a recent stop in Los Angeles. Those two vehicles use "eDrive," and BMW's plans represent the first widespread transfer of its technology from development of the i3 and i8 models to more mainstream products. BMW said it's developing electric powertrains so they can be deployed rapidly across its range, and they are flexible enough to be used with fuel cells in future products. Enticingly, BMW is also working on a "Power eDrive" system, which debuted in a 5 Series GT concept at the event in France. This setup has two electric motors powered by a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and when teamed with a four-cylinder turbo, pump out about 670 hp. Reinforcing BMW's commitment, the company will add more than 200 jobs at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany, to support electric-vehicle development. The moves come as BMW and other automakers diversify their portfolios while fuel economy and emissions regulations are getting tighter around the world. The United States has set a 54.5-mpg CAFE requirement for the 2025 model year. BMW said the electric vehicles were developed with an eye toward the US market, its government policies and its wide-ranging commuting styles. "We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important," spokesman Julian Arguelles said. Ben Scott, a senior analyst in London with automotive research firm IHS, said BMW's moves are expensive – but necessary – to keep pace with the market.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
