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 teases next-gen Volt at fan event in LA
Thu, Nov 20 2014Barely two months before its planned debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet has released yet another batch of teaser images of its second-generation Volt. Unlike the first image, though, which just showed the car's rear badge, there's a lot more to this quartet of shots. The first three images show off the nose of the next-gen model and come from a fan event in Los Angeles. What we can see is a sleeker front end, with an evolution of the silver grille inserts previously seen on the original Volt and Spark EV. Gone is the current car's split upper grille, in favor of a more conventional arrangement. The sharper, more angular headlights are also an evolution of the lamps seen on the current Volt. Chevrolet also took the opportunity to announce a new location-based charging system that uses GPS to adjust the vehicle's charge settings, including the charge level, while also announcing that the next-gen car will feature more intuitive charge indicators that will be better able to inform owners of their car's charging level. The tech will mean that the Volt 'knows' when it is parked at home, and can thus automatically optimize charging for off-peak times, and so on. Take a look at the teaser images at the top of the page, and then head below for Chevy's press release announcing the new features. Next-Gen Chevy Volt Offers More User-Friendly Charging 2014-11-20 GPS makes charging more convenient Portable charger is easier to access Intuitive visual cues show charge status DETROIT – If there's one thing Chevrolet Volt owners love about their cars, it's being able to recharge the battery easily. Evidence of that is a U.S. Department of Energy study that shows more than 80 percent of all trips by Volt owners did not use the range extender. Chevrolet has made the charging system in the next-generation Volt even easier for customers to recharge the battery – and to check the charge status. The next-generation Volt debuts in January at the North American International Auto Show. "Chevrolet used the real-world experiences of today's Volt owners to make the charging process simpler and more convenient in the next-generation Volt," said Andrew Farah, chief engineer for the Volt.
Recharge Wrap-up: Volt makes up third of Quebec Chevy dealerships sales, Tesla seeks Aussie talent
Wed, Nov 5 2014A Chevrolet dealership in Quebec has had the Volt make up 35 percent of its sales so far this year. Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon, Quebec received recognition for the feat at the 2014 Electric Vehicle Conference, where it won the award for Leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Dealership. To sell that many, Bourgeois Chevrolet had to import used Volts from the US, and keeps about 50 units on the lot in various configurations. The conference also saw Park Avenue Nissan of Brossard, Quebec win the Leading Battery Electric Vehicle Dealership Award, and Loch Lomond Mitsubishi of Saint John, New Brunswick receive the award for Electric Vehicle Dealership Inspiration.

Ford, General Motors and Toyota have announced that they will shut down their Australian factories, leaving behind a lot of unused talent. Tesla recently held a "Recruiting Open House" in Melbourne for engineers to fill positions at its plant in Fremont, CA, where they will be paired with other Aussie engineers already on staff.

Valeo recently showed an electric turbo it plans to supply to an unnamed automaker at a fuel economy showcase event at the EPA's National Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Lab. Electric turbochargers have the advantage of greatly reduced lag when compared to exhaust-driven turbos. They also work well when paired with cylinder deactivation, providing a much-needed boost when driving on a grade, which can help reduce the need for cylinders to reactivate. Independence from the exhaust system also makes it easier to package the turbocharger wherever there is room. Read more from Navigant Research. US crude oil futures have dropped to their lowest in more than two years. Saudi Arabia cut oil costs for the US and raised them for Europe and Asia as the US has increased output.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.
