Have you ever seen an item or vehicle for sale online, gone to look at it in person, and then discovered that the seller wasn’t completely honest or “forgot” to mention significant flaws?  I have, and it wasted my time and a plane ticket, so I will not do that to you.  If I’m aware of a flaw, I will tell you about it NOW rather than try to mislead you with this truck.  I am selling this truck for an estate, and it’s not costing me a dime to sit here, so I have nothing to gain by tricking you, and my integrity to lose by doing the same.   With that being said, please ask me for any clarification and I will do my best to get that information to you. 

This Avalanche is a 2007, first year of the new body style, with the 5.3 engine.  I’m not 100% sure of the trim level, but I believe it is the LTZ or LT, as it has all the options and cost about $40k new.  This Avalanche has been a one owner vehicle, but had to be transferred twice within the estate and may show those additional "owners".  Carfax is clean, I have one from May, but you’re welcome to run a fresh one on your own.  The Carfax I have lists one backup collision (considering it has a camera and sensors, I don't know how THAT happened) with no damage.  

 

2007 Chevrolet Avalanche LT/LTZ  VIN# 3GNEC12J97G238192

123,918 miles

Black original paint on black leather interior with burlwood trim. 

Front tires are nearly new, rear tires are above the wear bars.

Original wheels were painted (or powdercoated, I’m not sure) black and have spacers to make them appear wider.  These spacers are the high quality type with their own studs and do not compromise safety.  

Original Bose sound system (with rear seat controls) upgraded with MTX amp for subwoofers (subwoofers themselves are missing) and Pioneer head unit with navigation and satellite.

Transmission was professionally rebuilt less than 100 miles ago and shifts as new.

Engine replaced under warranty by dealer, I believe around the 30k mile mark, but I’m not 100% certain.  I will look through the records and try to get that information for you. 

Ice cold A/C and hot heater

No rust (south Florida car since new)

Upgraded Flowmaster mufflers (nice rumble, especially under acceleration)

Driver’s door switch bank replaced with new OEM.

Aftermarket alarm (not sure if it works though).

Windshield just replaced by Safelite.

Back door and window limo tint (front doors non-tinted).

 

 

The bad:

Tailgate handle broken (still works, but needs replacing)

Front bumper has small hole (about the size of a dime) and a light impact at the driver’s side below the grill.

Billet grill is bent

HID foglights, but passenger side headlight bucket is melted and needs replacing.

Misc. dings, scratches, chips overall with a nasty gouge/dent on the passenger fender.

Dash is cracked behind passenger airbag (please research this.  It’s a known defect from Chevrolet and they usually replace it for a nominal fee)

Headlight switch works but the mount is cracked on the left side, so you can push it.  It doesn’t need to be replaced, per se, but is annoying if you’re anal about stuff like that like me.

Bezel around gauges has weird stains on it.

Some cigarette burns on headliner and seats (pictured). 

Backup camera is only zip tied into place and does not work.  May be disconnected.

Driver front air pressure sensor non-functioning.

Check engine light on, possibly O2 sensor issue.

Stereo possibly has a loose ground.  Sometimes it works great, other times it has a whine or won’t power up. 

Front driver’s suspension has an occasional clunk.

 

Ok, please read this:    I am selling this truck for an estate as a family friend and am not a dealer.  I’m making zilch on this, and it’s not costing me anything to sit there, so I don’t need to sell this “here’s a low ball offer for CASH TODAY!!”  Please, don’t waste my time.  Truck is available for inspection in Delray Beach, Florida, and I welcome you to bring a mechanic.  You are welcome to go look at the truck anytime you like, but my work schedule is heavy and I will have to schedule an appointment if you’d like to take it for a drive.   There are new ceramic coated headers and an aftermarket sway bar available to purchase if you want, but I will NOT include them with the sale of the truck.   The truck was well maintained since new, but neglected when the owner fell on hard times, and it’s been parked with only occasional use for the past two years.  It starts right up, runs great, and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere (if you can deal with the danged radio).  This truck is PERFECT for someone looking to get a clean Avalanche well below market value and fix it up as they drive it.  Looks mean, sounds meaner and is comfortable.   I expect a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours upon the close of the auction, with the truck picked up within 7 days of auction end, or storage fees will be added.  Full payment due at pickup.  I can certainly assist with a shipper or local storage if need be.   Please ask any questions prior to the auction end as I'm not going to negotiate the price after the auction.  I can take any pictures or video that you’d like, as I want you to be happy when you come to see it and not disappointed.   I have some YouTube videos already uploaded that give you more information and details, please email me for links. 


It's a great truck, just needs a new owner and some TLC.   Thanks for looking and good luck with your bidding!

Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor

Sat, Apr 30 2016

Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

IIHS gives good ratings to 4 of 8 midsize pickups in crash test

Wed, Sep 6 2017

Versions of the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab earned top ratings in a new crash test of midsize pickup trucks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while two versions of the Nissan Frontier earned marginal ratings. But the organization gave poor marks to all eight pickups tested for their dim headlights. Overall, four of the eight pickups evaluated earned good ratings for protecting occupants in all five crash test categories — the Tacoma double cab along with crew cab versions of the Colorado, Canyon and Tacoma. But the poor headlights and lack of an automatic emergency braking system blocked any of the pickups from qualifying for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick awards. The study looked at two pickup body styles using 2017 models: crew cabs, which have four full doors and two full rows of seating, and extended cabs, which have two full front doors, two smaller rear doors and compact second-row seats. It subjected each to five tests, and it evaluated the performance of front crash prevention systems and headlights. The Toyota Tacoma crew cab was the only pickup in that class that earned a good rating for structure in the small overlap test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle clips a tree, pole or another vehicle that has crossed the center line. The model's Access Cab extended-cab version was rated similarly, though its structure was rated acceptable. "This group of small pickups performed better in the small overlap front test than many of their larger pickup cousins," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer. "The exception was the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't had a structural redesign since the 2005 model year." The extended-cab versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon earned acceptable ratings, while both the Nissan Frontier king-cab and crew-cab models were rated marginal. Toyota says its 2018 Tacoma will feature upgraded headlights and a standard autobraking system that can detect pedestrians. "Headlights are basic but vital safety equipment. Drivers shouldn't have to give up the ability to see the road at night when they choose a small pickup," Zuby said.
