This is a very rare opportunity to own, what really is an almost brand new 14 year old pickup in MINT condition. The truck was bought new in Durham, North Carolina by a collector who had two other S-10 pickups with even lower mileage than this one. All his vehicles were kept in doors and rarely driven. He was good friends with the owner of the local Chevy dealership and when he passed away the dealership purchased the trucks from him and sold them to the public. A gentleman in Phoenix bought the truck and had it shipped out here to Arizona in 2012. The second owner here in Phoenix put about a thousand miles on the truck and now is selling the truck. He originally purchased it with the idea of putting AC in the truck but then decided that he did not want to invest the money in the truck and sold it. I have had experience with putting AC in these trucks and so I purchased it from him to be my daily driver. Two days after I bought the truck I tore my right rotator cuff and had to undergo surgery. Now I will be in a sling for 6 weeks followed by another 3 months or so of therapy before I can use my right shoulder again. My orthopedic doctor recommended that I not use a manual transmission as my daily driver going forward because my tear was very severe and he thinks it will compromise the procedure. So I am making it available for sale. The pictures speak for themselves and don't really even do the car justice. It is in MINT condition with only 9902 miles on the truck. There is not one ding or scratch on the truck. There are two tiny paint chips one on the front edge of the hood and one on where the tailgate meets the edge of the bed on the drivers side. That is it. Interior has no stains, no tears, no funny smells. Looks and smells brand new. There is not even wear on the floor mats. The grain pattern on the steering wheel and the shifter is like new. All glass is like new. Everything works on the truck. It is a base truck with no power options or AC. Estimates for AC installation are from about $1500-2000 if you have a shop do it with all factory parts. Obviously if you did it yourself the cost would be much, much less. The truck was ordered with base package, no AC and the big motor (4.3L V6) with the manual trans by the original owner because that's what he preferred and he liked to go fast. This little truck does scoot right along and is a blast to drive. The second owner put on the Keystone Raider classic rims with brand new tires. He liked the old school look that these rims gave the truck. I do not have the original wheels but they are abundantly available if you wanted to go that route. The truck is spotless, and runs and drives as new (probably because it is basically new). No leaks, no funny noises and no rust or corrosion of any kind anywhere on this truck. This truck sold new for somewhere in the neighborhood of 14k when brand new. The new owner will get a near new truck at less than half of this amount. This is truely a great deal on what has to be one of the lowest mile 1999 S-10 pickups on the planet. If you have questions please ask and I will do my best to answer them. Check the pictures and my feedback and bid with confidence. This truck CANNOT disappoint, it is that nice.

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests
Thu, Jul 31 2014Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
