This 2001 Chevy Suburban 4x4 has done it's job and has taken good care of my family. I'm the 2nd owner and I've performed all the required maintenance on this grocery getter myself. My wife is the one who drives it and all she does is pick up groceries and drop kids off at soccer practice. I made a deal with my wife that I would get her a new car after college, now I have to keep my end of the deal. Shouldn't of open my big mouth! We just drove this suburban from Columbus GA to Killeen Tx and I can still get 509 miles per gas tank which breaks down to 16.9 mpg. I'm confident this SUV can make it anywhere in the country without any problems, last year I drove it from Utah to Georgia as comfortable as it's meant to be with 3 kids in the back screaming they need to pee every 20 miles or so :). I'm in the military so I have access to the mechanics shop on post, I regularly take my cars there to do routine maintenance, the car currently has 174,000 miles but runs great and transmission shifts smoothly, both engine and tranny have had all the maintenance done to go for another 100k miles without a major problem. Within the last year I've -

-Maintenance the rear end ($200)
-changed the original spark plugs and wires ($60)
-Added 22" wheels and tires ($1,700)
-New water pump and thermostat (this spring) ($140)
-tinted windows (maybe to dark in some states) ($200)
-recharge air conditioner (professionally of course, blows ice cold) ($100)
-installed a new stereo ($250)


I really don't want to sell it, I know it's a great running car and since we don't owe anything on it it's just savings us more money each month. The car doesn't leak anything at all, come to think of it I think it's been the only vehicle that hasn't left a oil stain in my garage. Anyone who buys it can be confident they can drive this home without any issues. The next oil change it due in 2,000 miles. All the windows work as well as the rear A/C unit. I don't want to sell it but my wife deserves a new ride she's been patient. My reserve is about $1,700 below market value, since I'm not a dealer I'm not trying to squeeze every cent out of this car for a profit, all I'm looking for is a fair price so I can put it down on another car for her. If you have any question please feel free to contact me directly on my cell at 801-390-3030. If you're interested text me and I'll send a video of the engine running and one of a test drive.

$500 deposit due 24hours after auction ends and full payment made no later than 7 days after that. Thanks for viewing and Happy Bidding!!!

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

GM is quietly slashing prices on base models

Fri, Jan 30 2015

While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.
