Up for auction is my Chevy SSR.  It is titled as a 2005 but production history shows it as a 2006.  Ricochet Silver over Pacific Blue.  They only made 7 of these and they only made them in 2006  -- or so it says at http://www.ssrfanatic.com/forum/f4/rev-2003-06-production-history-8296/

If you're not already a member I'd highly recommend you check out SSRFanatic.com to find out everything you never wanted to know about these hot rods.  This is my daily driver.  Its NOT a show car.  Its a car that is meant to be driven!  It's just getting to that point where all these little things going wrong is just annoying me to the point where I have to move on.  It runs great; like I said I drive it every day.  But over the last few months I've put in a new battery, replaced the front tires, replaced all the steppers in the instrument cluster ( a common problem in SSR's), fixed the broken handle on the passenger door and put in a new ashtray because the stupid latch broke.  The speedo and water temperature gauge work now but the oil pressure gauge is still pegged, and its not the gauge so it must be the sensor.  The pressure is fine.  Its just one more thing that needs to be fixed.  Last summer I put in a new air conditioner compressor and I tried the A/C for the first time after this winter and now it's not working.  It probably just needs a charge.  Then, to top it off, I get ready to list it and the check engine light comes on with P0121 Throttle Position Sensor.  The part is about $60 bucks and it'll cost you at least $200 if you have someone do it for you.  Other than that laundry list of problems its a great ride.  The front tires are new and the rear's will probably be needed by the end of the summer.  I don't understand why the back tires wear out so fast.  Maybe it has something to do with the 396 horse power LS2 power plant in front of that 6 speed manual transmission and posi-lock rear end.  I have way too much fun in this car, which is probably another reason why I should sell it.  Body and paint are excellent except for a couple little scuffs on the drivers front fender and a nice crease that goes thru the gas cap door on the drivers rear fender.  Besides all the standard power everything, it has the Bose Premium Sound System and center console gage cluster.  The bed is carpeted and it has the hard case locking saddle bags as well as the tow package and a removable hitch (which I have never even attached).

I was thinking of turning this into a project truck.  I think it would make a great Baja racer,  Can't you just picture it with long travel A-arms lifted up on top of some big meaty tires and a multi-shock setup?  It's already fun!  How much fun would that be?!

If I haven't' managed to talk you out of it, I set the reserve low because I really need to sell it before I change my mind.  If you're not serious don't bid because that very next bid may be the one that hits the reserve and then she's all yours.  If you win this auction I expect you to be good for the money.  There's a $500 deposit due within 24 hours of the close of this auction and the remainder due when you pick it up.  I will not do anything in regards to shipping.  You must pick it up.  This is an as is sale.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
