OK, Here it is. Up for sale is my father's 1997 Aurora. My dad stopped driving a couple of years ago (he's 92) and he gave the car to us. He bought it in 2001 in Venice, Fl. with about 36,000 miles on it. The car was registered in NY but it has never seen a winter since my parents wintered in Sarasota for the last 30 years. He gave it to us less than a year ago. We live in Nokomis, Fl. When I got it I went through and did everything I thought it may need. My dad was good with maintenance and oil changes. He had the car 11 years and only put about 35,000 miles on it.
A list of things I have done:
1-Change oil and filter Mobil-1
2-Flush transmission
3-Flush coolant
4-Replace serpentine belt
5-New Kumho tires
6-My dad had the a/c compressor replaced less than a year ago in NY and it went bad again. Although it was still under warranty they could not honor it because the car is now in Florida. I had a new (not reconditioned) compressor put in and complete a/c service to the tune of $1000.00. Blows ice cold. The NY repair facility did send me a brand new compressor at no charge that I will include with the sale.
7-Replace air filter
I think that's it but there may be more. The car has a small nickel size ding on the front of the hood, hardly noticeable. There is another small dent behind the side molding under the passenger door handle. The rear bumper has a few scratches that I touched up. They are all VERY minor, you probably can't even see them in the pictures. The fuel gauge works fine till about a half tank then doesn't register right. I just get to half a tank then fill up or go by mileage.
The car has always been garage kept and it shows. I believe it has every option available for the year including Bose stereo, sunroof, chrome wheels. Goes down the road smooth and quiet. We already have 3 cars and really don't have room for another. Email with questions. Thanks, Tony

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
