Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Repairs needed: it's starting intermittently, the A/C isn't hooked up, the brakes squeak after you drive the car for about 15-20 minutes, the panel for the window switch on the driver's side is missing, it needs new speakers and a tape player, there is quite a bit of external wear and tear, floor mats are worn, and seats need to be cleaned. See description below for details. That said, I've been told that it's in good shape mechanically, so if you're handy with fixing up cars, this car may be worth your while."

This car needs someone who can fix it up!  I was told by a mechanic a few months ago that it runs well and is in good shape, but it does need some work done:
  1. The car starts off and on. When it doesn't start, there's no sound or lights when the key is turned. I suspect it's a battery connection issue, but you would need to evaluate this issue yourself.
  2. The A/C doesn't work. I was told that it was disconnected by the prior owner because she didn't need it & that it should be functional, but I've never had it hooked up or looked at.
  3. The brakes squeak when you use them, after you drive the car for about 15-20 minutes.  Cause unknown.
  4. The panel for the window switch on the driver's side is missing. 
  5. Needs new tape player and speakers.
  6. This car has been kept outside so there is considerable external wear and tear.  I tried to take good pictures of some of its issues, but you will need to see the car itself to get a more accurate idea of its condition.
  7. Floor mats are worn.
  8. Seats need to be cleaned.
These are all the problems that I've come across in the few years that I've had it, but you will need to evaluate it fully before you haul it away. Car is being sold AS IS. Tires were replaced a few months ago & car doesn't seem to leak oil. I would highly encourage you to contact me to come by and take a look at it in Richmond, Virginia, if you're potentially interested in buying it -- I'd be happy to show it to you!

Pick-up or delivery must be arranged by the buyer. (Please keep in mind that the car may not start!) Preferred pick-up by Sunday, September 29th.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions -- I will do my best to answer them.

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.

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.
