1999 Chevrolet Tahoe Ls Sport Utility 4-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Owings, Maryland, United States
Up for sale is a strong running 1999 Chevy Tahoe LS 4x4 Police / Fire edition. I bought this car in September of 2007 directly from the Huntington, NY Fire Department. It was the Fire Chief's vehicle and they had kept it longer than they normally keep vehicles because they felt that it was more "truck-like" as compared to the newer Tahoes and did a better job hauling, etc. They removed the light bars, radios, and other equipment and put silicone in on the roof where the light bar was held on. You can see in the pics that the silicone is still there and there is a small ding that has rusted where the bar dug into the roof. However, the Tahoe was maintained without fail by the Fire Dept and it has served me without fail ever since as my utility / 3rd vehicle. The Police/Fire editions solve many of the problems the regular Tahoes have. It has better brakes, a slightly hotter tune, dual batteries, a different grille, and a rubber floor. Right now the car has 124, 286 miles but I will likely drive it between now and you taking delivery. Before you get it, I'll rotate & balance the tires and do the 125,000 mile oil change for you. I'll also include all 4 volumes of the factory shop manual which will help you troubleshoot any issues and take any maintenance action required. I paid about $150 for the set. Here's the details of the car as I know them:
Paint/Body: The paint job is very good overall, as you can see in the photos. In the hot rod world it'd be a solid 5-10 footer as you don't notice the flaws until you get up close. Both the Fire Dept and I have kept it waxed regularly throughout its life. But it does have some scratches, water spots, and wear that you would expect. The car is accident free. It still has in the working spotlight (but it doesn't turn with the handle inside the cockpit - you have to do it by hand), front marker lights, and a reflective strip around the outside that makes you very visible at night. The rubber trim on the left rear quarter fell off. I still have it if you want it but it didn't serve any purpose beyond cosmetic so I left it off. There's a ding on the passage door and the driver's door is dinged where someone tried to break into the car. There's a long scratch on the hood along with some paint missing in one spot (see pics). There's also a dent/crease above the right rear wheelwell with some white paint left behind as part of the lovely parking lot generosity you get in the DC area. I already mentioned the roof. The headlights were replaced within the last 6 months with the brightest units I could buy, and the rear 3rd brake light is an LED unit that's only 2 years old. There is a tow hitch with standard wiring. Tires/Brakes: The tires have plenty of wear - more than 50% life left. There's some irregular wear (problem has been fixed) on the fronts but they'll be going to the rear. See pics. The front brakes are drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads that have half or better life to them. The rear shoes were replaced about 20k miles ago. I upgraded the lines to stainless steel. Transmission / Driveline: It has the automatic 2-speed transfer case. The transfer case was completely rebuilt at 105k, and works as it should. It was service at 120k with the transmission (DEXRON VI fluid complete flush & filter change). There are no issues with functionality. The front end was rebuilt at 105k (I used it as a daily driver from 105k-115k) with all new ball joints and polyurethane bushings. The car handles better than factory. All 4 shocks were also replaced at the same time. Engine: Full synthetic oil ever 5k miles as prescribed. The only flaw is that the belt squeals a little bit after a soaking rain. There must be a slight leak in the hood seal. The engine has plenty of power. I have averaged 15-16 mpg with mixed driving on 2 Hi. It does not use or leak any oil. I replaced all O2 sensors at 110k. 2 New Duralast Gold batteries at 95k miles. Accessories/Interior: Power doors, power windows, cruise control, heat, and A./C all work. The rear defroster has a few bars gone from the window. The driver's power seat works. There are no rips or tears in the seats. The floor is rubber. There are some stains in the rear and places where the plastic trim has cracked around the barn doors - this was a utility vehicle to me. The dash has no cracks. The gas gauge has a little vibration to the needle but indicates properly. The seat belt idiot light intermittently comes on even when you're belted. I haven't replaced the sensor in the buckle yet. There are two switches left over from its Fire days in the dash. I have a junkyard center console (not anchored down) in the middle of the two front seats. The AM/FM cassette radio works but the speakers and reception can be staticky/intermittent at times. Any questions - please ask. This truck is beefcake. It will serve you well. It has been regularly and well maintained. I am very particular with my vehicles and have tried to disclose to you everything I knew about its condition. I could've said, "runs good, some wear and tear," but I'd rather you felt more confident about what you were getting into. I would trust it to drive from MD to CA pulling a 6500lb trailer across the Rockies tomorrow. |

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper
Mon, Jul 22 2019The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

All of the Bond cars of 'No Time To Die' (caution for spoilers)
Thu, Sep 30 2021Note: The following overview of the cars in No Time To Die contains spoilers. Read at your own risk, or come back after seeing the film to make sure you caught everything.  No Time To Die picks up right around where Spectre leaves us. James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) are driving along in Bond’s restored and iconic DB5 in Matera, Italy. Things donÂ’t stay all that cheery for long in picturesque Matera, though. As is tradition in Bond films, the first car chase hits us with an explosion of action in what's a super-long opening scene. Fourth-gen Maserati Quattroporte: The baddies in the beginning are driving a Maserati and chasing after Bond in the DB5. Specifically, theyÂ’re in a fourth-gen Quattroporte, which feels right for a chase scene in Italy. Its squared-off looks are mean enough, and its Italian growl is a good background soundtrack to the DB5Â’s inline-six. In addition to the Quattroporte, the chase scene in Matera is home to a couple of the best stunts of the entire movie, including the arch jump done with a Triumph motorcycle seen in trailers — Matera is extremely hilly. Eventually, Bond and Swann find themselves in the DB5 again together, which is where the famous gatling gun scene from the trailer commences, but not before the bulletproof windows and body of the DB5 are thoroughly tested. RIP to the first-gen Range Rover Classics and Jaguar XFs that joined the Maserati in pursuit of Bond (here's a list of other Bond cars over the years). As the DB5 escape scene concludes, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be a Ferrari from the 1970s. However, the view was far enough away that weÂ’ll need a second look to be sure of the exact model. Land Rover Series III: Next time we see Bond, heÂ’s fishing in Jamaica and driving around a blue Land Rover Series III. ItÂ’s yet another of the many Land Rover products featured throughout the film, and unlike most of BondÂ’s Aston Martins, this one doesnÂ’t seem to have any unique features. The other intriguing vehicle out of Jamaica? An old Chevrolet Bel-Air expertly and effectively piloted by Bond newcomer, Ana de Armas. Next up, we get a few shots of the new and still-not-for-sale Aston Martin Valhalla mid-engine supercar (also seen in trailers). BondÂ’s old boss M is in the scene which appears to have been shot in some secret wind tunnel of sorts. Much to our dismay, nobody ends up driving the Valhalla in the film. Could it be a teaser for what the next 007Â’s car is?
