You are bidding on a nice 1994 Chevy Astro EXT.van with AWD. We have owned this van for almost 2 years. It has never failed in any way. This is a conversion van but I removed the running boards and the pieces around the fenders in order to put on larger tires. I still have all these pieces and if you want them they will come with the van. It has leather interior with no cracks in the dash or door panels. It has a Sony stereo with CD player. It starts, runs, drives and stops great. The tires are Goodyear Wrangler all terrians with about 200 miles on them. They were bought at Discount tires and we have all the papers. Since we have owned it I have installed new lift struts on the rear window gate. Also cleaned out under the van and painted with Rustoleum industrial grade enamel. The oil & filter was changed about 3 months ago. If you are not familiar with the Astro AWD system, they have a front & rear differential and a BorgWarner transfer case and will go just about anywhere. This van would be good for camping, fishing and hunting trips, winter time if you live in an area where you get snow or just a daily driver. You just never know when you may need the AWD. There is a front skid plate and a small push bar and a rear hitch. There is a scrape on the side sliding door where the previous owner got too close to a tree branch. It's hard to see because of the stripes in the paint. I changed all the fluids in the differentials and the transfer case and greased all the fittings. The van never over heats even in the hottest weather and it holds good oil pressure. All gauges work. The AC is cool but not ice cold and will need serving unless you know how to do this yourself. The only reason we are selling this is because we bought an old VW Beetle and need the money for this project. Sold as is - where is. Please email with any questions.

There is a non refundable deposit of $200.00 due within 24 hours of the end of the auction paid by Pay Pal. The balance is due within 7 days of the end of the auction by bank money order, cashiers check. All funds must clear before the van can be picked up. Seller not responsible for shipping but I will assist in any way I can. I can store the van for up to two weeks at no cost. Thanks and happy bidding.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013

The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
