Up for sale is a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD work truck. It has an automatic transmission and the color is dark metallic blue. It has 57,549 miles on it ( it is currently being driven daily and the mileage will vary slightly- normally around 100 miles a week on average.). It was recently inspected ( 2 new front tires were put on it during the inspection, the back tires have approximately 50% tread left.) and the inspection is good until December 2014. When it was inspected, we also had the oil changed. New front brakes were put on for inspection 2012. We also purchased a new set of floor mats for the driver and passenger side floors. It is a smoke free truck, and as long as we've owned it we would not allow anyone to smoke in it. We do have the manual that came with the truck.
Other features:
- Air conditioning (blows cold)
- AM/FM/CD player
- Privacy glass
- Tilt wheel
- Bedliner
- 6 passenger
- Dual air bags
- Tow hitch
- Truck box in the bed for tools etc.. (this can be removed very easily if you need more room in the bed
- Putco chrome covers on the door handles, gas cap and truck bed gate handle
- VDP wheel well storage with marine grade speakers -- probably the coolest part of the truck. These storage boxes/speakers are installed in the bed of the truck over the wheel wells. Turn on the auxiliary power of the truck, (or while the truck is running if you are so inclined to blast the music while driving) and with a flip of the toggle switch located under the steering column, the interior speakers will shut down and the truck box speakers will blast your favorite music or game!! These are great for tailgating, working outside etc. The boxes can also store drinks. When you don't have your favorite drinks in them, they can also be used to store tools or whatever. In the picture that shows the brake pedal, there is a toggle switch above it that turns the speakers on/off. We've received a lot of compliments about the speakers.
The truck is in very good condition. The only minor issues it has are that the front speakers in the truck do not work, they haven't worked in the 4 years we've owned the truck ( the 2 speakers on the front doors do not work, the speakers on the back doors and the truck box speakers work fine). This never was a problem for us because with the front speakers not working, the music wasn't blasting in your ears. There is a small spot of rust above the back bumper next to the license plate(see picture). This truck was used for landscaping work and there are some surface scratches/nicks on it- although it was recently professionally detailed. They are not really noticeable at a short distance. Even though it was used for landscaping work, it is extremely clean inside. Also, the locks on the speaker boxes don't work.
We are not mechanics and have tried our best to describe the truck. We are not pressed to sell it and would appreciate serious inquiries only. Local pickup only, if you are interested in having the truck shipped, it will be the sole responsibility of the buyer. Payment will be cash or a cashier's check from a U.S. Bank, although cash is strongly preferred. Thank you for looking, if you have any questions or need additional pictures, just let us know. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty expressed or implied. We reserve the right to cancel this listing at any time.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases
Wed, Nov 20 2019NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
