2003 Pontiac Vibe (toyota Matrix) 31mpg, A/c, Cruise, Mp3 Port, L@@k No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Colby, Kansas, United States
You are looking at a 2003 Pontiac Vibe that has served a growing family very well. It has the Toyota 1.8 liter inline 4 cylinder, which is the same engine as in the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Matrix. It shares all mechanical and interior components with the Toyota Matrix and has proven very reliable for us.
It has minor dings and scuffs (as can be expected with a 2003), and during the whole time we've had it (since August of 2011) it has a OBD code P0420 (which deals with the exhaust system efficiency). I replaced the catalytic converter and O2 sensors in 2011 with aftermarket parts, but the check engine code remains. I keep a $20 OBD reader in the car and check to see if it's a P0420 code. If it is, I erase it. The car continues to run reliably. This car has averaged 22 mpg in town and 31 mpg on the highway. If we're driving in calm winds, we've gotten up to 36 mpg on the highway! The air conditioner blows cold and the cruise control, sunroof, power windows, locks and mirrors all work as they should. The sound system sounds great and it will play CDs as well as hook up to your iPod or mp3 player through the auxiliary audio jack. The Pioneer sound system face is also removable for added security, if you live in an area where that's a concern. We hope it will serve it's new family well, and it would work great as a safe school car or for a small family. This is NO RESERVE auction, so here is a great opportunity to get a good car for a low price! Kelley Blue Book lists this car's value at $3789 in its current condition, but these cars have been selling on eBay for considerably lower prices. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions about the car's condition. Good luck and happy bidding! |

Vitruvian Energy crowdfunding to make EEB, a trashy biofuel
Sat, Nov 22 2014When sewage is treated at a wastewater treatment facility, biosolids are the byproduct. After being separated from the water, biosolids are usually sent to a landfill or incinerated. That doesn't mean that they're without value, however. Vitruvian Energy has created a process to make a usable fuel out of this human waste product, and while the source is pretty gross, it is undeniably abundant, and the results are much cleaner. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon. In a process that Vitruvian Energy claims is energy efficient, biosolids are femented and introduced to a type of bacteria to create PHA plastic. Reacting the PHA with ethanol creates the ethyl-3-ethoxybutyrate (EEB) biofuel. Vitruvian says EEB can be blended up to 20 percent with gasoline or diesel without any engine modifications. This lowers the carbon footprint of the fuel it's blended into, and serves to oxygenate diesel, leading to fewer harmful emissions. EEB can also be made using other organic waste products, such as corn stover, rice straw and distillers grains. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon and isn't subject to the maddening market fluctuations and international politics of fossil fuels. Furthermore, EEB's carbon footprint is 70 percent less than that of fossil fuels. Vitruvian also sees potential for EEB to be used on its own to power vehicles or burned to produce electricity for the grid. So far, Vitruvian Energy has used grants from the California Energy Commission and National Science Foundation to develop EEB, and has tested the fuel in a Pontiac Solstice at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Vitruvian is wants to test EEB on a larger scale in the real world in order to prove EEB's viability to interested parties in the wastewater treatment industry. In an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Vitruvian Energy hopes to raise $200,000 to build a prototype EEB production line and to run a test vehicle for a year on an EEB-diesel blend on the streets of Seattle. Donors can score some interesting perks such as shirts and bumper stickers that say "Get Clean with Poopaline." Learn more about EEB in the video and press release below.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan
Tue, Feb 7 2017During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
