The La Grange Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale/auction:

1991 White Chevrolet S10 Pickup Truck (4.3L V-6) with 101,375 miles.

The vehicle is a seized/forfeited vehicle and MUST be sold according to Illinois law: it MUST be sold in an auction-style setting such as eBay.  There is no Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with no existing warranty.  ALL sales are FINAL and NO price adjustment will be given.  This vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is no reserve on this vehicle.

The vehicle (again) has a mileage of 101,375 miles.  The vehicle was in inside storage for approximately three (3) years during the forfeiture court process.  The vehicle was brought to and parked just outside our police department approximately 3-4 months ago.  When driven to the police department, the vehicle started right up (upon jumping it with a battery pack) and the vehicle drove fine with no signs of any mechanical problems.  Upon starting the vehicle now (jumping it with a battery pack), the vehicle started, however, stops running after a minute or two.  We STRONGLY suggest that the winning bidder tow the vehicle from our lot-we cannot guarantee the vehicle will remain running.

The vehicle is 5 speed (manual/stick shift).  The vehicle has a coated bed liner measuring approximately 7 feet by 4.5 feet and is in fair to good condition (no major cracks).  The vehicle's tires appear to be in fair to good condition.  The turn signals, headlights, and interior roof lamp are all in working order.  The vehicle has a Delco AM/FM stereo/Cd player.  The stereo is in good working order, however, we did not try the CD player.  The vehicle does not have A/C, however the fan and heat are in good working order.

Notable Minor Damage/Scratches/Dents/Imperfections/Things That Don't Work Or Need Replacement:  The vehicle's body has several rust spots:  The passenger-side (P/S) running board has rust near the bottom, the driver's-side (D/S) running board has rust near the bottom, the P/S front wheel well has rust, the rear hitch/bumper has significant rust and won't support towing weight, and there are smaller rust spots throughout the outside of the vehicle (see photographs).  The outside body also has paint chipping about the vehicle as well as minor scratches throughout.  The hood has a small dent.  There is minor crash damage to the D/S front quarter/headlight (headlight held in with wire but DOES work).  The hood of the vehicle is painted gray and the rest of the vehicle is painted white.  The D/S door does not open-there is no damage, but the mechanism will need to be repaired.  The front P/S side-marker light is cracked.  The two D/S hubcaps (plastic) have very minor cracks/damage.  The two P/S hubcaps are off, but lying in the bed of the truck.  The vehicle has cloth bucket seating, however, there are two minor tears near the driver's-side.  The P/S window crank is loose, but works.  There is no roof liner cloth material inside the vehicle. The vehicle will need a new battery and a tune up due to being in storage and not running for the past three years.

DISCLAIMER:  The vehicle (again) is a seized/forfeited vehicle and MUST be sold according to Illinois law: it MUST be sold in an auction-style setting such as eBay.  There is no Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for the vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with no existing warranty; neither express nor implied.  All sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  BUYER BEWARE:  Due to this being a seized/forfeited vehicle, we do not know a great deal about it's condition, it's history, prior damage, prior maintenance, etc.  Potential bidders are encouraged to view the vehicle in person prior to the bidding process, as there may be defects or undetected problems we are unaware of.  Potential bidders may have an independent inspection completed prior to the bidding process at their own expense.  The winning bidder is responsible for the pick up of the vehicle or making arrangements with a private shipping service at their own expense; we will NOT deliver the vehicle.  Pick up of the vehicle should be made within seven (7) days of the close of the auction.  Should you need additional time for the pick up, please contact us to make arrangements.  We have described the vehicle as completely and accurately as possible, however, we will NOT be responsible for undetected problems, incorrect specs, etc.

Should you have any questions or would like to view the vehicle in person, please contact me through eBay email, ask a question through the auction site, or telephone me at 708-579-2334 and follow the prompt. I am currently working 7:00am-3:00pm (CST). If I am unavailable at the time of your call, please leave me a voice mail and I will return your call as soon as possible. The winning bidder may pay in full upon pick up of the vehicle with either cash or a certified bank check only, at which time a Bill Of Sale and Clear Title will be provided. We also accept PayPal for payment as well. Good Luck!!!!

Next Chevy Silverado could get this built-in tailgate step

Thu, Feb 2 2017

General Motors just received patent approval for a tailgate step in a pickup bed. And given the timing, don't be surprised if you see this on the upcoming 2019 Silverado pickup (not the mention its GMC Sierra twin), expected to arrive in late 2018. According to the patent, granted in December of last year, the whole mechanism is housed in the tailgate assemble. The magic happens when a portion of the top half of the tailgate swings down and a step folds out. There's also a handle that locks into position to help climb up into the bed. As trucks get bigger and taller over the years, it gets harder and harder to access the cargo bed. Ford's solution with the 2009 F-150 was a step that slides out from the end of the tailgate. Back then, Chevy made an ill-advised ad highlighting the feature for Ford. And while Howie Long mocked the F-150's "man step" Ford saw almost a third of its trucks with the option in the first year. The GM design seems to improve on Ford's idea as it appears to be wider and has a back to the lower step. That is, you don't have to worry about stepping through the ladder-rung design as on the F-150. Ford's tailgate step later spread to the F Super Duty, and other cargo access assists have proliferated through the truck world. On the most recent redesign, the Chevrolet Silverado took a trick from the Avalanche and added cutouts to the corners of the rear bumper that act as a foothold. Ford also offers a deployable side step, Chevrolet has running boards that scoot rearward with a kick of the boot, and Ram offers fixed wheel-to-wheel side rails. Nissan is in on the game too, with an optional folding step that tucks under the rear bumper. We don't expect Chevrolet to comment on when or if we'll see this feature in the showrooms. But given that engineers are already hard at work on the next Silverado and the timing of this patent lines right up with the new truck's development cycle, we'll be disappointed if this patent stays in the file cabinet.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.

GM seatbelt recall affects over 1m Silverados and Sierras

Fri, Apr 15 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall 895,232 examples of the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the US. The campaign will also affect the trucks in markets worldwide, and the total number the company will recall is 1,037,982. The Problem: A steel cable connects the seatbelt to the vehicle, but over time repeated bending can cause the part to fatigue and separate. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will enlarge the side shield opening and install a pusher bracket on the tensioner. Technicians will also replace the entire tensioner assembly if necessary. If You Own One: GM will contact owners about the recall. The company hasn't said when those notifications would begin. More Information: There are still about 3,000 new examples of these older pickups at dealerships. Until mechanics fix the problem, these vehicles are subject to a stop-sale. Similar problems have affected the General's vehicles in the past. In 2015, the company recalled over 400,000 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu for fatiguing cables. It also hit over a million Lambda platform crossovers in 2014. GM Recalling Certain 2014-15 Pickups to Repair Seat Belts DETROIT – GM is voluntarily recalling 895,232 model year 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the United States because the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of the driver repeatedly bending the cable when entering the seat. This issue was discovered through warranty data, and there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue. For trucks in the field, dealers will enlarge the side shield opening, install a pusher bracket on the tensioner, and if necessary, replace the tensioner assembly. The recall in the United States includes a stop-sale of approximately 3,000 new 2014 and 2015 model year pickups still on dealer lots. Dealers will repair the vehicles prior to delivering them to customers. Customers will be notified by General Motors. They also can look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) at either https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ website or at https://my.gm.com/web/portal/ownercenter to see if their vehicle is part of the recall. GM also will voluntarily recall and repair these models in other countries where they are sold, including Canada, Mexico, and several countries in Latin America and the Middle East.
