Beverly Hills, California, United States

This is a cool 2008 Tahoe -- it has a clear CA title and brand new CA License plates.  It has just passed its smog test and its registration is good until next August.  This car started life as a white Tahoe service vehicle in Virginia.  It was well kept and has a low mileage count of 84K miles.  It was bought a year ago by a production company and taken to Detroit where it was used in a commercial.  For filming it was painted and dressed as a Michigan State Police SUV.  That's why it is currently the light blue that it is.  

I have set the reserve low -- the blue book is 20k for this car 

Before I could buy the car, all of the police badges and sirens had to be removed -- it is illegal to drive a fully dressed cop car ... even in Detroit.  The search lights remain on the front windshield pillars and seem to be wired but not functional.  You will see in the pictures a few shots of it BEFORE I drove it away where it has all of its POLICE badges etc.  When all of that was removed we plugged the drill holes from the siren on the roof with rubber stoppers.  Also there was a POLICE sign on the hood that we removed and plugged the drill holes.  The drill holes are pretty small but evident.  The paint is good not fantastic.  There are a few spots where you can see drip lines -- on the driver door there are a few drip lines that used to be covered by the POLICE decals.

If you don't know these cars you will need to know that the interior has cloth buckets up front and a leather bench for a second row.  There is no console as cop SUVs typically have guns locked to the floor between the seats.  For a carpet there is a rubber mat -- presumably so that if you are transporting a bad guy who is bleeding or puking ... you can just hose it out the next morning.  I have checked on EBAY and you can buy all kinds of goodies to make this truck just like a soccer mom's -- you can buy a third row bench or a console that fits perfectly between the front buckets.  Or just leave it all copped out ...

It has a CD player that works -- the AC works great -- it drives really nice as I drove it 700 miles in a day through UTAH earlier this summer.  I am posting the pictures I have right now -- I may post a few additional ones that show the plugged holes.   The car is registered and insured so come take a look if you are serious. I have been driving it regularly, it's really a nice ride. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.  Thanks for reading ...

Reminder the car started life WHITE -- it was painted LIGHT BLUE and NO LONGER has POLICE DECALS AND LIGHTS.

It has a really cool PUSH GUARD on the front so you can disperse your local riot or flee the zombie apocalypse in fine style.


On Aug-26-13 at 15:33:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

I added a few new pics that show some of the interior and also the drill holes in the hood -- I placed a quarter in between the holes to give you some size reference -- I also took a pic of the driver door as there is a small dimple/ding below the handle on the body line -- I realized I have a spare stock wheel just like the ones it rides on -- they are the actual cool, black, stock rims with new rubber -- in fact all of the rubber on the car is very new -- Also I realized that there is a cool switch on the lower driver side dash that strobes the headlights -- pretty cool -- I also took a pic of the driver door sill as you can see that the mat has a split in it from heavy boots kicking it.  I am a long time e-bayer with 100% feedback and plan on keeping it that way.  Any questions or concerns you have ask me now.

I also have found the original rear wiper arm -- in one of the photos it shows it to be missing -- it has been found and put back on and it works 

come drive it -- it's awesome

Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant

Mon, Jun 23 2014

The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
