1985 Red Corvette 14,000 Miles 2 Owners Garage Kept Runs, Drives, Looks Near New on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States

1985 Red Corvette Only 14,000 Original Miles Cars like this are very hard to find. The first owner bought the car new and kept it in a heated garage under a custom car cover since new. This Corvette is all original, numbers matching, never wrecked, painted or had any body work. He drove it a little each summer. He owns a few Corvettes but this was the only one he bought new so he tried to keep the miles low. He is a retired mechanic and did his own maintenance and made sure all maintenance was performed and he stored the car properly at the end of each summer. I have loved this car for years and tried to get him to sell it to me many years ago but he was too attached to the car. I finally got him to make me a deal a year ago. I have had the air conditioning upgraded to the latest system and I fixed a minor emissions issue it had. The car runs and drives great and has that deep awesome Corvette sound and still puts a lot of power to the road. It has the sport seats with the Bose system, power windows, door locks, tilt wheel with telescoping feature, tinted glass removable roof and many more options. This car is all original, it even has the original tires. I would love to keep it but finances are forcing me to sell it. At nearly 30 years old with such low miles this is a classic Corvette that will only go up in value if it is kept in this same condition. I have the owner's manuals and everything that came new with the car. If you are looking for a really nice classic Corvette that can be driven and will appreciate in value then this is your car. The color combination with the condition and the low, low, miles makes this Corvette a very rare car. NADA book value on this car is $19,975.00 and they give no add for miles. Most cars this age have over 100,000 miles and have had multiple owners. You can tell from looking and driving this car that it has been very well preserved since the day it was bought. I am starting the auction at a very low price and the car will sell to the highest bidder. I will deliver the car within 300 miles for free. I will work with anyone who would like to ship the car anywhere and I will do what I can to help you with shipping. I require payment by wire transfer within 5 days of purchase and I require a $500 payment from PayPal within 24 hours of purchase. I have the title with no liens so the car is ready to go. I try to be very thorough in my description and if you check out my feedback I don't embellish the things I sell. This car is exactly how I've described it and to my knowledge everything works perfect. I had my mechanic go over it in the spring and the only things he suggested, which I did fix was to upgrade the air conditioning and fix an issue with the exhaust, which would occasionally cause the check engine light to come on. Since it was fixed I driven it all summer with no issues and ice cold AC. I haven't seen another 1985 Corvette in this kind of condition with this low of miles and with such a perfect color combination. If you have any questions or would like more pictures just call Doug at 208-403-3684 and I will help in any way I can. I hate to sell this car because I have wanted it for many years but things are just not good enough for me financially to justify keeping it. I want it to go to a good home where someone will continue to care for it the way it has been cared for the last almost 30 years. Bid with confidence you WON'T be disappointed in this car. I will include the car and dash covers. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. If you love the car and have an offer that's fair call me and I will consider ending things early if I can get a fair price. I need the money and would like to sell the car fast. Call Doug at 208-403-3684 or send me questions through eBay and I will answer them. Thanks for the interest!!

Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever
Tue, Jun 3 2014Chalk up a big win for the Nissan Leaf. In May, the world's most popular electric vehicle sold a record 3,117 units, the first time any pure electric vehicle has sold over 3,000 units in a month in the US (unless Tesla managed that feat but rolled the number into a quarterly report). This marks the 15th month in a row of record Leaf sales and the seventh where the Leaf was the top EV seller in the US. The challenge bar is set for someone to step up to compete with this all-electric wunderkind. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, in August 2013. The Leaf's one long-standing competitor, of a sort, is the Chevy Volt, which used to regularly outsell the Leaf but moved only 1,684 units in May. That's still an increase of 4.8 percent over 2013 but is part of a 4.5 percent decline in year-to-date Volt sales for 2014 compared to last year. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was October 2013. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, when it moved 3,351 in August 2013. Let's take another look at those 3,117 Leafs sold last month. They represent a 45.8 percent increase over May 2013, when 2,138 Leaf EVs were sold, so someone is doing something right in Japan and Tennessee. So far, Leaf sales in the US are up 36.4 percent year-to-date, to 10,389 EVs. That's just under half of the 2013 total, and it was accomplished in five months. In 2013, Nissan sold a total of 22,610 Leafs. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the total will be at the end of the year? As always, we'll have our detailed monthly sales write-up including other plug-in vehicles as well as hybrids and diesel car, up soon. For now, though, the big news is big Leaf sales. Read Nissan's press release below. Nissan Group reports May 2014 U.S. sales May 2014 May 2013 % Change Nissan Group Total sales (units) 135,934 114,457 +18.8 Nissan Division May sales 125,558 106,558 +17.8 Infiniti May sales* 10,376 7,899 +31.4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Group today announced total U.S. sales for May 2014 of 135,934 units, an increase of 18.8 percent over the prior year and a May record. Nissan highlights: Nissan Division set a May record at 125,558 sales in the month, an increase of 17.8 percent. This marks a monthly record for Nissan division in 14 of the last 15 months. May was the best-ever month for Nissan LEAF with 3,117 sales, an increase of 45.8 percent over the prior year. In May, LEAF passed 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch, further establishing it as the leader among electric vehicles.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
