2003 Chevrolet Impala Base Sedan 4-door 3.4l on 2040-cars
Waynesville, Georgia, United States
I am selling my Chevrolet Impala. It is a good running car but has some cosmetic issues. The car has approx 222,000 miles on it. The motor has been replaced at around 152,000 miles. The head gaskets have been replaced probably less than 2-3,000 miles ago. It also has new spark plugs and plug wires (the plugs were replaced with the heads and the new wires were replaced a month or so later). Some of the cosmetic damage is listed above. I can't get the pictures to upload, so if you would like any please let me know, I can email them to you. This car was purchased brand new in 2003, by my dad, and then signed over to me. I'm the only one who has ever driven it. I say that because I'm not technically the "only owner" as far as the title goes. I guess this is just a base model. The driver seat is powered, but it's stuck all the way back. You can hear the motor when you mash the button, but the seat won't move. The car has key less entry, I only have one set of keys and the remote. The trunk won't pop open with the remote or the button inside the vehicle, but of course the key will open it. This car has been smoked in, but not in a long while. If you have any questions please ask. This car will have to be picked up locally and cash payment made at time of pick up. The title will be given to you that day. I don't have a tag on it either, so I don't know how that works.
On Jul-21-14 at 14:17:52 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to add that the brake light is on, on the display on the dash. The brake fluid is full and the brakes work. I think it is just a censor, I haven't replaced that. And the catalytic converter has been removed and just a pipe welded back on. I do have a new catalytic converter that I will include with the car. I paid about $250 for it. I found someone to weld it on but they told me it wasn't worth it, so I opted not to. |

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys
Wed, Mar 18 2015General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia.

The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our 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.
