This is a beautiful 1998 GMC Suburban SLE, 4X4.  It has lived in Minnesota for just two years and has never been in the snow, and has always been stored in a climate controlled garage year round.  Came from California originally and spent some time in Arizona before coming to Minnesota.  As you can see by the photos, this is one of the cleanest Suburbans you will find anywhere.  It has the very best in lifts, the RCD Torsion Lift, (4 - 6"?) bit still fits under a standard 7' garage door.  Tires are Dick Cepek, Radial F-C II, 33 X 12.50R15LT.  Wheels are also Dick Cepek, model DC-2.  Spare tire is a fully matching Cepek wheel and new tire.  The vehicle has cold AC with a new Compressor in 2014, and yes the rear AC and rear heater work like new.  Vehicle has power windows and power locks, all working perfectly, and comes with 3 key fobs.  This is a 350 V8 engine that looks absolutely new it is so clean.  Look at the pictures - the engine compartment looks like it could be in a vehicle sitting on a GMC showroom.  You will be amazed at the cleanliness you see on this vehicle.  I have included photos of the front and rear and back door corners just so that you can see some of the detail you will see when this vehicle is inspected with a critical eye.  The paint is original as far as we can see.  The vin tag on the door jamb has never been taped off for painting, and adds a lot of credibility to the originality of the paint.  Recent additions include New Plug wire set, New Dist cap, New Rotor, New Plugs, New Front calipers/pads, New Fuel Pump, New Fuel Filter, New Water Pump, New Radiator, New Battery, Fresh Allignment, Flush and lube both differentials, Flush transmission and fill with synthetic fluid.  This list goes on and on - New oil filter, New oil adaptor gasket, and New Bushwacker Fender Flares.  New transfer case output shaft seal - this vehicle does not leak - your garage floor will stay clean with this in your garage.  Bilstein shocks, nothing but the best has been used on this vehicle.  Starts and runs perfect, goes down the road straight and smooth.  Vehicle has like new stock factory exhaust system, so you can talk to your family when you're going down the road.  The odometer reads 173 thou - but it looks like maybe 75 thou or less to us - you look at the vehicle and see for yourself.  It's the cleanest you will find, bar none - bring CASH, no checks here.  The price is very close to being firm - but let's talk about what you think.   Call before bidding for any and all questions.  Call Jerry day time hours in the central time zone 8 to 8 please.   Sixonetwo, sevenfiveone, five0sevennine will get to me.  We are located just 30 minutes from the MSP international airport, and if you want to fly in to have a look we'll come and pick you up. If you are looking for an outstanding example of a nice Suburban, then this is the one you have been looking for.  Wouldn't sell it, but found a Blazer in the same condition that I like better, so this has to go.

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston

Fri, Sep 1 2017

DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.

GM able to add diesel to half-ton pickups if market demands it

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

A few years ago, the trend in half-ton pickup trucks was ultra-luxurious trims, often with the words "limited" or "platinum" tacked on after the model name. That was well and good, but we like this latest fad a lot more - diesel engines. First, Ram came to bat with a 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel for the 1500, then Nissan announced that the next-generation Titan would be getting an eight-cylinder Cummins diesel.
Now, word is coming in from AutoGuide that General Motors can, if it so chooses, drop a diesel engine into its light-duty trucks. The plot thickens, though, as it turns out that said diesel would be the same one Ram is using for its truck. According to AG, that engine comes from VM Motori, which GM owns a sizable chunk of. Therefore, GM can snag the 3.0-liter, V6 diesel for its trucks just as easily, if not more easily, than Ram.
If it's so easy for the Detroit-based manufacturer to access the engines, why not offer the a diesel-powered Sierra and Silverado from the start, then? According to GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson, The General doesn't seem so confident in a diesel pickup outside of its HD offerings. According to Wilkinson, the cost-benefit ratio doesn't line up for customers, thanks to both the impact on the truck's sticker price and the higher price of diesel, in general (the national average for a gallon of diesel is 43 cents more than a gallon of 87-octane unleaded).

GMC's Denali offerings are going great guns

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

The Denali trim that GMC uses to denote its top-of-the-line vehicles was introduced back in 1999, partly as a way to challenge the recently introduced Lincoln Navigator. Fifteen years later, and with GMC the tenth-largest US automotive brand by itself Denali has become a sub-brand that keeps the cash registers ringing at the Renaissance Center HQ. While GMC increased sales by 9 percent in 2013, TheDetroitBureau.com reports that that Denali sales rose by 20 percent.
There are currently five Denali models in the GMC line, with the Denali trim available on all but its commercial vans. In 2010, when the now-discontinued Yukon XL Hybrid was also on sale, GMC sold 32,886 units of its top trim. Last year, that number had increased to 75,558, with almost no help from traditional marketing spends. Go to YouTube and search for "GMC Denali commercials" - the few actual commercial results are from years ago. GMC marketing director Roger McCormack tells TheDetroitBureau.com, "It's largely all been organic."
As sales have grown, so has the tide of money GMC rakes in from the additional luxury features on Denali models. The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at $44,600, yet its 2014 Yukon Denali doppelganger starts at $58,320, pricing that includes additional features like the larger 6.2-liter V8, nicer interior, head-up display and magnetic ride control suspension. The Yukon XL Denali starts at $60,965, but the article says the "average customer" likely to spend "up and above $70,000" to take one home. How does that happen? On a top-trim Tahoe LTZ, the top-tier wheel option is a set of 20-inch chrome wheels for $400; on the 'base' Yukon Denali you can swap for a set of 22-inch chrome alloys for $2,995. Add it up, and an analyst at AutoTrends Consulting said that kind of margin "epitomizes the concept of obscene profitability." We say when it comes to Denali, GMC appears to stand for "Grabbing More Cash."
