OFFERED IS MY 1995 CHEVROLET CAPRICE CLASSIC WAGON THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR THE LAST 5 OR 6 YEARS AND HAVE PUT THE LAST 90000 MILES ON OR SO.


VEHICLE IS LOCATED AT MY HOME IN MYERSVILLE MARYLAND ZIP CODE 21773.  I'M ABOUT 2 MILES OFF OF INTERSTATE 70.  IF YOU NEED TIME TO ARRANGE PICKUP OR SHIPPING,  I CAN STORE THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT YOU MUST MAIL PAYMENT IMMEDIATELY.   IF YOU OPT TO PICK UP IN PERSON, PAYMENT MUST BE IN GREEN CASH.  NO CHECKS, IOU'S, NO CREDIT CARDS AND NO PAYPAL EXCEPT FOR THE DEPOSIT.  YOU ARE WELCOME TO DRIVE THE CAR BEFORE PAYMENT TO CONFIRM ALL OF MY INFORMATION ABOUT THE RIDE ETC. ETC.  

HERE IS THE BASIC STORY ON THE CAR:

WHILE I BELIEVE THAT YOU COULD DRIVE THIS WAGON FROM MARYLAND TO CALIFORNIA WITHOUT ANY BREAK DOWN CONCERNS OR PROBLEMS, THE FACT IS THAT THE CAR NEEDS SOME WORK.  FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS THAT I OWNED IT, IT WAS A GREAT CAR THAT DIDN'T NEED MANY MECHANICAL REPAIRS.  HOWEVER, IT SEEMED LIKE AROUND 120,000 OR SO, IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY MONTH .  MOSTLY SMALL STUFF LIKE HUBS, WHEEL BEARINGS, WINDOW REGULATOR, ALTERNATORS, STARTER AND THAT SORT OF THING.  BUT THEN THE WATER PUMP LEAKED WHICH TOOK OUT THE OPTISPARK A FEW  WEEKS LATER AND THE REPAIRS BECAME MORE EXPENSIVE.  AFTER THE WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT AND THE OPTISPARK REPLACEMENT I DECIDED THAT I NEEDED A NEW RIDE.  I ORDERED A NEW TRUCK BUILT THE WAY I WANTED IT AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION  WENT BAD ON THE WAGON.  $2500 LATER FOR THE JASPER TRANSMISSION AND  INSTALLATION, I MADE A DEAL WITH MY WIFE THAT I WOULDN'T INVEST ANY MORE SIGNIFICANT MONEY IN THE CAR AFTER MY TRUCK WAS DELIVERED.  THAT WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO OR SO.  SINCE THEN, WHEN LITTLE THINGS WENT BAD THAT I WOULD HAVE FIXED BEFORE, I JUST PUT A BAND AID ON IT TRYING TO BUY SOME TIME BEFORE SHE HAD TO GO.  NEXT THING I KNEW, THE AC HAD TO BE CHARGED TWICE A SUMMER,  THE ANTENNA ONLY GOES HALF WAY UP,  THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR WENT BAD OR SOMETHINGS IS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO GO DOWN SIDEWAYS IN THE DOOR WHEN YOU TRY TO PUT IT DOWN, THE BRAKES ARE STARTING TO MAKE NOISE IN THE FRONT AND THE MICHELIN X ONES, WHILE HAVING BEEN GREAT TIRES, ARE PRETTY WORN, BUT STILL NOT BALD OR DANGEROUS.  EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU GET AN OIL BURNING SMELL EVEN THOUGH THE REAR MAIN SEAL WAS DONE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS DONE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO OR LESS.  SO OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS SOME SORT OF LEAK OTHER THAN THE NOW REPLACED REAR MAIN SEAL.  MOST RECENTLY, THE POWER STEERING PUMP STARTED WHINNING, SO I ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID,  ABOUT 500 MILES LATER I NEEDED TO ADD MORE FLUID, THEN MORE FLUID AFTER 300 MILES AND NOW IT PISSES IT OUT ABOUT AS FAST AS I ADD IT INCLUDING THE PRESTONE STOP LEAK FLUID.  I THINK IT NEEDS A NEW PS PUMP BADLY AND I MEAN YESTERDAY,  ALSO,  I PULLED THE DESIGNATED AIR SUSPENSION FUSE BECAUSE WHAT I THINK MUST HAVE BEEN THE SUSPENSION PUMP WAS MAKING GROANING NOISES WHEN I HAD IT LOADED DOWN WITH STUFF IN THE BACK.      

IT'S SEEMS STRANGE TO SAY THIS OF AN OLD CAR THAT NEEDS OBVIOUS MULTIPLE REPAIRS, BUT TO ANSWER THE MOST COMMONLY ASK QUESTION REGARDING THIS OLD CAR, YES I BELIEVE THIS WILL MAKE IT FROM MY HOME IN MARYLAND TO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO DRIVE IT INCLUDING AS FAR AS CALIFORNIA.   THE ONLY URGENT ITEM IS THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM WHICH I THINK IS THE PUMP.  THE AC CURRENTLY IS NICE AND COLD, ALL OTHER BUTTONS WORK GREAT INCLUDING SEATS, CLIMATE CONTROL MIRRORS, RADIO ETC. ETC. ETC.  NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND NO COVER UPS WERE DONE.   I AM PRETTY SURE THE JASPER TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TRANSFERS WITH OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR.  I'M NOT KIDDING, WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP PROBLEM FIXED, I WOULD FEEL SAFE HEADING TO CALIFORNIA FROM MARYLAND TOMORROW.  THE OIL CHANGES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DONE ON TIME OR USUALLY A LITTLE EARLY.  IN FACT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I HAD THE OIL CHANGE DONE, NEW AIR FILTER AND WIPER BLADES INSTALLED.  IT DRIVES SMOOTH AND STRAIGHT AND DOESN'T PULL AT ALL.  HAS GREAT POWER AND I'VE ADDED 44K EVERY 15,000 MILES OR SO FOR YEARS.  

THE CAR HAS BEEN OUTSIDE FOR 99% OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS RUST ON THE LEFT REAR AS MANY OF THESE WAGONS WILL.   IT ALSO  HAS SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES ALL OVER THE PLACE FROM 155,000 AND NEARLY 20 YEARS OF USE.  THE MILEAGE LISTED WILL BE "AND COUNTING" BECAUSE I DO STILL DRIVE THE CAR.    

ANYWAY, THERE YOU HAVE IT , $1000 AND NO RESERVE OR $1300 BUY IT NOW.   I THINK THE HUB CAPS ALONE SELL FOR $100 ON EBAY AND THE NOW TWO YEAR OLD TRANS WAS $1500-$2000 NOT INCLUDING INSTALLATION.   SO, MAYBE THIS CAN BE A PARTS CAR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIX IT?  OF COURSE, YOU CAN JUST DO WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YEARS AND THAT IS AVOID PUTTING THE PASSENGER WINDOW DOWN, LIVE WITH THE HALF UP ANTENNA WHICH STILL GETS GOOD RECEPTION, CHARGE THE AC TWICE A YEAR ETC. ETC I THINK THE SCRAP VALUE IS $500 OR MORE BASED ON THE WEIGHT, I JUST THINK IT'S STILL WORTH MORE THAN JUST SCRAP.  

SORRY ABOU ALL THE TYPING MISTAKES AND GRAMMER MISTAKES.  IT'S LATE AND I'M TIRED.  

ONE LAST THING.   THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN SMOKED IN AND I THINK I'M THE SECOND OWNER.  IT HAD EITHER 59 OR 69 K WENT I BOUGHT IT FROM THE ESTATE OF AN OLD FELLA THAT DIED.

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue

Sun, Jan 4 2015

General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email.
