Vancouver, Washington, United States

1994 Caprice “COPO” Station Wagon.  Garage kept Southern California car with 153,000 highway miles. Zero rust, no accidents or damage history.  PS, PB, PW, PDL, AC, CC, power mirrors and drivers seat with aftermarket keyless entry. 8 passenger with rear fold down seat.  Everything in the car works and difficult to find in this condition.  Original no wood white car with grey interior. This car is 1 of 1 built in 1994 with specific options through comp nine VIN decoder. There were approximately 13,000 LT1 powered ‘94-’96 Caprice wagons before they were discontinued in 1996.  This is a fine example of the last of the generation. 
 I've owned the car for 3 years and put 5,000 miles on it.  I purchased the car to have something to tow my race car to the track and fun to drive on the street.  I have since sold my race car and never got to the point of towing with the car.  

The wagon is visually stock appearing but has had the following upgrades performed since I’ve owned the car and includes all receipts:

Engine- All tune-up parts have been replaced on the stock 260 HP 5.7L LT1 engine. Spark plugs, Magnacore plug wires, AC delco O2 sensors, PCV valve, fuel filter and air filter. Lower radiator hose and coolant replaced as well. Cap and rotor replace by previous owner. Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic oil just changed.  Car has a performance PCM tune from PCM4Less and runs on 92 octane fuel and uses a 160*F thermostat.  Car runs very strong.   

Exhaust- Full 2.5” mandrel bent catback exhaust system with Pypes stainless steel X-pipe, large case Dynomax “hemi” super turbo mufflers, sedan mandrel bent tail pipes modified for use on a wagon with Dynomax race bullet mufflers used as resonators.  Tail pipes exit in stock location and were fabricated to look just like stock but larger diameter.  Very quiet with no drone.

Transmission- Rebuilt original Street/Strip 4L60E transmission. It has the Beast sunshell, Raybestos pro band and 3/4 Zpak clutches. Borg Warner 29 element sprag, Sonnax super hold OD servo, bushing kit, thrust washer kit, rebuilt pump assembly with .500 boost valve and Sonnax HP pump slide spring, Transgo HD2 valve body kit, all new frictions, steels, gaskets, electronics and filter.  Filled with Dextron VI synthetic fluid.  A high-end Level III, IV, build etc… that will hold up to 6-700 HP or heavy duty towing.  The car has an OEM LT1 Corvette torque converter.  Shift points have been reprogrammed for more spirited driving. 

Rear-end- Rebuilt original 8.5/8.6” rear end with 4.10 gears with an Eaton Truetrac differential and custom made ABS reluctor so the ABS functions.  Synthetic fluid and new carrier bearings during set-up.  Rear brakes are new. I’ve only taken one highway trip of a couple hundred miles and average 20MPG.  

Wheels/Tires- Vintage 15” steel wheels for the 5x5 bolt pattern that accept factory dog dish poverty caps.  They have been powder coated gloss white and have new 235/75/15 XL load range tires.  Very rare dog dish hub caps from ‘63 full size Biscayne or ‘65-66 Nova. They are good driver quality but have some cracks and splits. 

Suspension- Car has been aligned and has Monroe sensatrac shocks and Airlift air bags have been installed in the rear of the car in anticipation for towing. 

Misc- The stock headlights have been updated to HID and are 4300K in color like an OEM BMW bi-xenon headlight.  The factory air pump has been removed from the car per General Motors Technical Service Bulletin and included with the sale. I’ve run the car through Washington State emissions for local buyers . Front and rear wiper blades also replaced.  As far as flaws, the driver’s side carpet has wear.  I have custom made over-sized floor mats in the car so the wear is not visible and includes a custom made cargo area mat.  There is general light interior wear but shows well as does the exterior.  The only mechanical items on the to-do list is a small exhaust leak at the passenger side manifold area at cold start-up and some driveline vibration on the hwy.  I have the original owners manual and window sticker as well. 

Many thousands spent updating the car to be a unique tow vehicle and fun daily driver.   Let me know if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment for viewing.  Thanks for looking!

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

The 2023 Chicago Auto Show played host to a number of reveals this year, and we were there to capture all of them. In traditional auto show fashion, that means you’re getting a mega gallery of galleries to flip through and see all the vehicles on the show floor. Our EditorsÂ’ Picks from the show are already out — spoiler alert, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander took home the prize. That said, there were other important reveals like the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport and the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. We also learned some interesting tidbits, such as the fact that VW is considering a pickup, and Jeep owners really are plugging in. To see the photos, scroll on down and start flipping through those galleries.   2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander View 7 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas 2024 Volkswagen Atlas View 14 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport View 7 Photos 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with its carbon fiber wheels 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with carbon fiber wheels View 7 Photos 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray View 10 Photos Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions View 3 Photos 2023 BMW XM 2023 BMW XM View 6 Photos Ram Revolution Concept Ram Revolution Concept View 6 Photos NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car — Toyota Camry NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car ?

Junkyard Gem: 2005 Chevrolet Aveo LS Sedan

Sun, Jun 14 2020

The story of Daewoo in North America took some interesting plot turns over the decades. First we had the 1988-1993 Pontiac LeMans, a rebadged Daewoo LeMans. A bit later, Daewoo began selling cars under its own nameplate here, with the Lanos, Nubira, and Leganza available for the 1999-2002 model years. Then Daewoo fled the continent and left warranty service of those cars in the hands of Manny, Moe, and Jack. With GM taking over Daewoo Motors after Daewoo's bankruptcy, we got some Daewoos with Suzuki badges here— the Verona and the Reno— while Chevrolet began selling the South Korean-built Daewoo Kalos as the Aveo for the 2004 model year. This car may not be a gem in the sense that you would want to own one, but it's a gem of automotive history and thus deserves its place in this series (especially because it's one of the rare 5-speed cars sold here). Many (maybe even most) of these cars ended up in the hands of rental-car companies and other fleet users, but we can tell from the three-pedal setup that this car went to a non-fleet buyer. We've had a couple of these cars compete in the 24 Hours of Lemons, where I work as a dignified and respected race official, and they've been amazingly quick on a road course in the hands of good drivers. Power came from this 103-horsepower Opel-designed four displacing 1.6 liters. The Nubira and Lanos got versions of this engine on these shores, too. The LS was the top trim level for the Aveo in 2004, so this car got air conditioning and a halfway decent audio system (by 2004 standards). The seat fabric is industrial-grade stuff, which would have held up well under the steady drip and/or torrents of bodily fluids coating the interiors of rental cars. The 2004 Aveo LS started at $12,045, which comes to about $16,675 in 2020 dollars, so it was a lot of commuter-appliance for the price. The following generation of this car became the Chevrolet Sonic, beginning with the 2012 model year. You can still buy a new Sonic, and the inflation-adjusted price is nearly identical to that of the original AveoÂ… though you might want to move fast if you really want one, because Daewoo stopped selling the Kalos in South Korea not long ago. If you want the rarest member of the Aveo family available in North America, find yourself a hen's-teeth Pontiac G3, the short-lived Pontiac-badged version. Speaking of the G3, here's the way it broke the hearts of gas pumps around the world.
