1998 Oldsmobile Bravada

Miles: 232,351

We are the second owner of this Bravada.  It was a lease vehicle, and we purchased it from the dealer.  The Vehicle History Report shows three owners.  We are assuming this is because we moved.  (Converse, IN to Bloomington, IN)

The Bravada has all the items listed above. Below I've listed the items that need attention. I've tried to be as accurate as I can.

Tires -- You can drive it home, but they need replaced.

Interior -- In good shape, but the carpet (tan) has stains and could use cleaning. There is a factory rubber mat in the back.

Engine -- Has a minor miss. Most noticeable when it has been raining or the car has set for a while. It is most likely plugs or plug wires, but I'm not planning to fix it.

A/C -- Needs charged. The compressor leaks. To fix it the compressor needs to be replaced.

Exterior -- Good shape. There is some very minor rust, but it is in good shape for the age. 

Windows -- No cracks. The driver's side window can be slow to roll up, but it works.

Kelly Blue Book for Good Condition is $3,017 and for Fair Condition is $2,442. Our price: $3000 (nice round number). I have the KBB report.

The Vehicle History Report supplied by eBay shows an accident in 2008.  I have no idea where this comes from.  We owned the car since 2001, and we were not in an accident in Milwaukee, WI in 2008.

PICK UP & SHIPPING: Pick-up is preferred.  I will not ship the Bravada.  If you want to have it shipped, that's fine with me, and I'm happy to be here for the shipping company to come pick it up.  The cost of shipping is NOT included in this auction.  The Bravada will not be picked up or shipped until your payment had cleared.

PAYMENT:  Cash or tellers check.  I will call your bank to verify the check BEFORE I sign the title.  I do not accept Paypal.

This car is for sale locally as well.  If it sells I will take down the auction.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.
