FOR SOME REASON I CANNOT CHANGE BLAZER IN TITLE.. THIS IS NOT A BLAZER AND NEVER WAS. THIS IS A S10 Xtreme. What we have here is a Chevy S10 Xtreme 2.2 Liter Stick Shift Base Model. A little history on the vehicle: I bought the vehicle with approximately 50 thousand miles on it from a Virginia seller here on Ebay. The gentleman who owned the vehicle was actually middle aged and was battling cancer. After the pass of this gentleman, the vehicle was left to his elderly neighbor who would not drive a vehicle like this type since she was elderly. I saw the vehicle on Ebay and fell in love with it approximately 10 years ago. I went to Virginia and purchased the vehicle. I have used this vehicle for many years to get through all my years of my college education, started a mobile auto detailing business with this vehicle, and got back and forth to the police academy with this vehicle. Now in my thirties and owning multiple business, and working as a police officer, I have simply acquired way to many vehicles and cannot drive them all. I hate to keep seeing this nice little truck sit and never get used. THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE TRUCK, BUT NOT A PERFECT TRUCK. I am an honest seller and will be as detailed as possible so you as the buyer are fully aware of what the truck is and is not.
As you can see it no longer has the Xtreme body kit on the vehicle. I lowered the truck an additional 2 inches in the front and three in the rear. Once in a white I would scrape the body kit and it would be difficult to get into some steep areas, so therefore I removed the kit. The holes from the kit on the side of the body where welded shut and body work was completed along with paint. As you can see on the rear of the vehicle, the tailgate has been removed and a California type of roll pan/skin was installed. About every two or three years, as you can see in the pictures, the rear needs to be redone. No matter what body shop completes the fix, minor rust spots and cracking occur as you can see.
BODY OF VEHICLE: I would say the body is decent for the year. As you can see there are no major dents or dings and scratches are to a minimal if any. I never liked to park near anyone to avoid the dings and scratches on the vehicle, to body I would say is clean for its age. The hood on the vehicle was replaced and there are some rock chips on the hood and bumper. The hood is a aftermarket hood and there are a couple small dents to the front of the hood that are almost not noticeable. There is some small touch up spots on the body that can be done with some touch up paint, and the rear roll pan area can be fixed. I think for a truck this old with higher mileage, the body is exceptional. As you can see there is a hitch installed on the vehicle with a wiring kit. This was used to pull a small open trailer that had a water tank on it for a detailing business that I still on.
Headlights: Cloudy. I will sand and polish them if the vehicle sells to restore as much clarity as possible.
Bed Cover. Has a bed rug carpet and a soft black bed cover. The bed cover bolt broke, so a new bolt/mechanism will have to be bought and installed if the new owner wants the rear bed cover to lock, but is not needed. The bed cover actually is only a few months ago, but the one peice broke on the cover not allowing me to actually lock it down.
INTERIOR. Missing speaker covers since I always felt that the speakers were compromised of sound from the covers. This vehicle had a rubber floor from the factory and I installed a carpet. I dyed the carpet to make it black and will dye it again for any touch up issues if the vehicle sells. The door panels were also dyed with plastic dye to make them black since they were a dark gray when I got the vehicle. Had a subwoofer in the vehicle, but no longer. Wires are still there along with one amp as you can see which is included. Has a hurt shifter that the first owner installed and stayed in the truck ever since. Minor dash board crack, steering wheel peeling on top (can put steering wheel cover over to hide). Has Chevy caviler seats installed in the vehicle and stock Chevy floor mats.
SUSPENSION: New shocks in the rear, beltech 3 inch drop blocks and 2” drop spindles. Everything else is stock Chevy S10 Xtreme suspension.
Mechanical: A lot of small issues that I KNOW ABOUT AND CAN SEE.
1.ABS light on: I pulled fuse because I hate anti lock brakes. Will re install fuse so light goes off.
2. Oil Pressure Senor. I replaced the sensor and the gauge still goes wacky sometimes. This is my third s10 and they are known to do this. Sometimes reads high, sometimes low, sometimes dead on, really don’t know if I got a defective new sensor or another issues. Been like this for approx 4 years now, just doesn’t bother me.
3. Exhaust : Gibson exhaust cut back for roll pan. Small leak in down pipe of exhaust in which I can get fixed if the vehicle sells. Must allow at least 4 days for me to get this repaired if buyer desires. Leak issue will be fixed at down pipe.
4. Brakes: I feel one brake caliper is beginning to stick when I drive the vehicle. Will replace the bad caliber and replace brake pads if necessary.
5. Underneath. I feel the underneath of the body is in great condition. Appears that a new seal can be put in at the rear diff. I always checked this, and level was always near spot on. Appears that surface rust is on rear diff cover and possible slow leak at bottle of cover, but during oil changes never had issue of extreme low fluid.
6. Steering box. The steering in the wheel had been loose for years now. This is a common Chevy issue again in which I replaced the whole front end. Spline, tie rods, ball joints, link etc, but steering was still sloppy. I believe the steering box is just worn and needs to be replaced. I drove it this way for years because it does not bother me to the extent to replace it. Can be replaced or left alone.
7. Wiring Harness for trailer hitch. Have a new one which will be included in sale. Needs to be replaced because of age if you are going to tow something. If not no replacement is needed. A simple 10 minute install, I just have not done it because I no longer drive the vehicle. 8. Check engine light was on then went off. I went to the store to scan the code and the oxygen sensor came up. The light went off and never came back on. We do not need emissions here, so I left it alone. Appears that gas mileage an performance did not change.
9. Engine cannot be power washed. As a detailer I always wash and dress my engines. From day one, this vehicle engine bay cannot get wet, or it will not start for an hour or so. I know the owner who passed installed after market intake, throttle body spacer and some type of performance chip so the car can be tuned. The truck will never bed fast as it is the slow, but reliable 2.2 liter, so I never touched this stuff. My buddy has the same truck with 400,000 miles on the original motor. These motors are known to go for many miles, one of the best motors Chevy ever made.
Overall. I really feel the truck is a decent little truck. We been through a lot together and has NEVER broke down on me. Yes it needs some work, but I feel that the work needed is minor and can be done with a short amount of time. I am good with mechanics, but the truck may needs small things that I cannot see or hear. I stated the issues that I know need to be fixed. I did not do a full inspection of everything on the vehicle. When things gave me problems on the vehicle I replaced them such as the following.
New Shock I rear New Clutch Front End Replacement Drive Shaft Components Starter Alternator Brakes, Pads Change Oil Anti Freeze Clutch Fluid Rear End Fluid
Why am I selling this vehicle? I simply have to many vehicles, do not have time to drive this vehicle, and have other projects I’m involved in. I no longer want to see this vehicle sit and never driven, it is a shame. I hope a younger individual can acquire this vehicle and smile the way I did over the last 10 years of driving the vehicle. Gets a lot of looks on the highway and lowered suspension handles like a dream.
QUESTIONS. EMAIL OR CALL 570-807-2019. I am an honest seller and want to express everything I know about this vehicle and not hide anything!!! |

Chevy Volt has worst sales month since August 2011, Nissan Leaf also down
Tue, Feb 3 2015January is traditionally a time when new car shoppers take a break. For the last few years, if we isolate our focus to just the first two major plug-in cars in the US market, we see that the first month of the year was lower – often dramatically lower – than the 11 that followed. So, when you see the Chevy Volt dropped and Nissan Leaf sales figures for January 2015, don't be too surprised. The Volt sold only 542 units last month, that model's lowest since August 2011. That also represents a 41 percent drop from January 2014, and it reinforces the thought that if anyone out there is interested in a new Volt, they're going to be waiting for the new model to drop later this year. While we do expect sales to climb in February and into spring, we won't be surprised if the general Volt trend remains quiet until the second-generation arrives. On the Leaf side of the ledger, January's low sales numbers were still about twice as high as the Volt's – the Leaf sold 1,070 units last month, the lowest since February 2013 – but it did break a streak for the Japanese automaker. Usually, each month represents at least an increase over the same month a year ago, but that wasn't the case this time. In January 2014, Nissan sold 1,252 Leafs. Still, Brendan Jones, Nissan's director of electric vehicle sales and infrastructure, issued an upbeat statement: "We saw a significant increase in demand in December from Nissan Leaf customers looking to take advantage of federal and state incentives at the end of the tax year, which pulled some sales ahead. We're confident that EV sales will continue to rise over time due to increasing emission regulations and other reasons for purchase of EVs such as lower operating costs, reducing dependence on foreign energy sources, environmental concerns and a great driving experience." The numbers will tell us soon enough. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales brendan jones
2015 Chevy Volt will be available with 4G LTE
Tue, Jan 14 2014General Motors teased consumers two years ago when it showed off a Chevrolet Volt decked out with 4G LTE connectivity. More details were finally unveiled this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: the 2015 Chevy Volt will have a 4G LTE option and will offer consumers an as-yet-unpriced option with much faster wireless internet connection and more smartphone apps. GM's OnStar has teamed up with AT&T to come up with several mobile apps alongside the roadside assistance. The Volt joins the 2015 Corvette, Impala and Malibuz models that will debut with a 4G LTE option this year. The first four 4G ChevroLTE models will be released this summer and will be joined by the Spark (EV and gas versions), Equinox, Silverado and Silverado HD. GM has yet to announce whether any Cadillac or Buick models will get the 4G option. Chevrolet Accelerates to 4G LTE Speeds in 2014 Bowtie brand models in U.S. and Canada to get OnStar 4G LTE by summer LAS VEGAS – Starting this summer, Chevrolet will have some of the fastest vehicles on the roads, and that has nothing to do with horsepower. Chevrolet drivers will be enjoying high-speed data - made possible by a new OnStar 4G LTE connection in the vehicle, running on AT&T's network, the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. Chevrolet today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt would be the first General Motors' vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. They will be followed by the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV. In the Canadian market, OnStar with 4G LTE will be introduced on the Chevrolet Trax as well. The majority of the 2015 Chevrolet lineup in the U.S and Canada will have a 4G LTE connection built-in at vehicle launch. More models will be announced later this year. "Chevrolet is expected to implement the broadest deployment of 4G LTE in the automotive industry," said Alan Batey, senior vice president of Global Chevrolet. "The fact that OnStar with 4G LTE will be available in models that range from the Chevrolet Spark to the Silverado to the Corvette, is indicative of our broad commitment to deliver more value and convenience through smart technology applications.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
