HI, 

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Please read this listing in detail and re-read it. I don't want my time wasted, and I don't want to waste your time.     ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS! 



I initially bought this as a 3rd vehicle with a KY salvage title. I cannot find anything as to why it was "salvaged". The only repairs I had to make on it was the right front airbag and front right CV shaft. Other than that, I cannot find any reason as to why I bought it with the title it had. I now have had it inspected as per requirement in the state of Michigan to have the title transferred to "salvaged-rebuilt" That's the best I can get the title to be. The body had NO repairs done in any way, shape, or form. I cannot find any signs of moisture inside the vehicle anywhere that would indicate a flood or water damage.  The car is not NEW. IT IS USED> Please understand that my description is as accurate as I can honestly make it. 


Now, The car needs work. It seems that it makes a clunking sound upon deceleration. I "think" its a intermediate drive shaft bearing. I was allowed to drive it on the road roughly 15 miles one way to the police station and drop it off for the inspection. It was the first time I was able to put it through the ringer. I will say that its a monster on the road. It is fast. It shifted fine, Drove straight, and felt good. I also drove it home. The noise seems to be only when you let off the gas. 



The front right strut/airbag leaked bad when I bought it. I replaced it with a used one and it hold air just fine. Since then, if it sits for over 7 days, the rear starts to sag. When the car is used daily, you would never notice the rear leak as minor as it is. I would estimate that the rear end would drop 1.5 inches over the course of a week of non use. Every time the car is started, the ride ecu activates and levels the car. It almost sits as high as my Avalanche on the highest setting. FYI.    


The front right CV shaft was destroyed when I bought It. It was replaced with a brand new unit. 




Other issues: 
Exhaust is noisy. Flex pipe is worn and needs replaced. There's 2 flex pipes.  exhaust might need more repair to fix minor leaks. IT honestly sounds like it has a custom exhaust. I can pull codes up to show exhaust leak. 

Driver door storage bin (shown) wont stay closed. 

E-brake trim wont stay latched (shown)

Dash display is bipolar. Sometimes the left side of the LED display is dim. (I was told it's common)

Rear deck  storage cover is broke. (shown with deck open) No affect on anything. 

Headlights. They are true HID. The lenses are dim and faded. The lights are still brighter than all other vehicles I own. They wont buff out. Trust me. 

Might need valve cover gaskets. When I purchased it, It would smoke a little from the exhaust manifold burning off a little oil. But since then, it seems to have gone away. Maybe due to it not being driven for a while. 







HERE ARE MY DEMANDS / WANTS! ----------------


IF YOU ARE TRULY INTERESTED, I WILL REPLY TO YOUR PM WITH MY ADDRESS. PLEASE COME LOOK AT IT AND DRIVE IT. IT ISN'T ALLOWED ON PUBLIC ROADS BECAUSE IT ISN'T PLATED. I LIVE ON A PRIVATE STREET WHERE YOU CAN DRIVE IT. I will also hook it up to OBD2 scanner on the spot to show you any internal codes it may have. 


I WOULD PREFER YOU TO COME LOOK AT IT AND TAKE YOU TIME DOING SO! IF YOU BUY IT AND SOMETHING HAPPENS, ITS NOT MY PROBLEM. I HAVE DISCLOSED EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT IT. NO BODY IS PERFECT. BUT I'M AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE 100% OF THE TIME. 



THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. THE CAR IS NOT PLATED AND WILL NEVER COME WITH ANY TYPE OF PLATE OR REGISTRATION. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE SALE IN PERSON AND ARRANGE FOR TRANSPORT WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS FROM SALE COMPLETION. 




THIS CAR IS SOLD AS-IS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY OR SERVICE PLAN. PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS VIA PM OR IN PERSON. LOCATED IN ZIP CODE 49120. 




ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE LEFT UPON COMPLETION OF THE SALE AND BEFORE THE CAR IS REMOVED FROM MY PROPERTY. DO YOUR HOMEWORK PEOPLE............. IM NOT A MASTER MECHANIC. COME LOOK AT IT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. 





THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING.

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

Audi considering other variants, turbo V6 for R8

Sun, Feb 22 2015

More details from the Audi R8 event at Spain's Ascari circuit have met the Internet, and they provide more intel on the supercoupe will evolve over the second generation. First, they note some small differences in stance with this new car, being wider than the current car and sitting 30 millimeters (1.18 inches) lower. Compared to its Lamborghini Huracan brother, it gets three extra centimeters in the wheelbase. Filling out the power numbers, the 'entry-level' V10 engine at launch rolls out 540 horsepower and 399 pound-feet of torque, does the 0-60 mile per hour dash in 3.5 seconds, and hits a top speed of 200 mph. The V10 Plus model rocks 620 hp and 412 lb-ft, which slices 0.3 seconds off that acceleration time and adds five more mph to the top speed. They'll transfer their power through a seven-speed S-tronic that shifts faster than before, and it will in turn send power through an electronically-controlled clutch at the front axle and a constantly variable limited-slip differential at the rear axle. The power split is said to default to 42/58 front-to-rear, but 100 percent of the torque can be sent fore or aft. Benchmarked against the 991-series Porsche 911, driving sensations travel through an electromechanical steering setup that can be had with a variable rack if preferred, leading to standard 19-inch wheels with the option of 20-inchers and tires developed specifically for this car. A Performance setting offers dry, wet, and snow modes; that first setting turns the ESC off except for situations of impending doom, and Audi racer and test driver Frank Stippler told Top Gear that understeer is reduced, to which TG added "it oversteers at will." Stippler said it's "a lot closer to the GT3 race car than ever before," and even though it's "a lot" less intense than the Huracan, it's just as fast on the track. His estimate is that the new R8 will lap the Nurburgring between ten and 15 seconds faster than the current car. R8 technical lead Roland Schala said the new chassis opens up new avenues of development because "there's no problem to change it," mentioning models like a Clubsport or Superleggera as no longer forbidden. Differentiation could come from a wider engine mix, too. Markets like China need smaller displacements, so Audi's twin-turbo V8 is expected to join the line-up at some point, bringing 500 horsepower.
