 2012 Chevrolet Equinox LS. Used, one owner, non-smoker car. Purchased new a little over two years ago. Only reason for selling, is because my wife and I have two kids, and are about to gain custody of her sisters two kids as well, and we need a bigger vehicle. Car has been great, only had one small warranty issue that the dealership fixed. Some kind of engine sensor went bad. Has been serviced by the dealership since day one. A lifetime, full service plan was purchased with the vehicle, and I'll see if I can get the dealership to transfer that to the new owner. Does come with a membership card for free roadside assistance, towing, lockout, key replacement, and travel services.

All owners manuals are still in car, and both key/keyless entry fobs. Has three 12v power outlets, one in rear cargo area, one in center console, with stereo aux input, and on in the front console. Full driver information system, shows tire pressures, two trip odometers, average/instantaneous MPG, average speed, etc. Has bluetooth connectivity, hands-free calling, On-star, XM radio(Subscription is good for another 3 months at least) MP3/CD, AC blows cold, heat works great. Power windows/locks, drivers power seat.

Rear seat slides forward, and folds down. Tons of cargo room in the back. Dealer installed floormats front and rear. Spare tire/jack/lug wrench have never been removed. Something under the spare still covered in bubble wrap.

2.4L ecotech motor, and 6spd auto transmission. Gets great fuel mileage, averages around 30-32 on the freeway, and 20-25 in town. Vehicle average says 24.4 right now, with 30 mph average speed. Great looking 17" wheels, with Michelin P225/65 Latitude tires. Plenty of tread left, always rotated on schedule by dealership.

Car has never been in any sort of accident, and never had any major work done. The only real defects are small paint/body cosmetics. Pictures show the front end has a few paint nicks, and scuffs on the lower valence from parking curbs and such. The back of the center console shows some small scuffs, and the door panels have a few as well.

I'm going to talk to the dealership tomorrow to see if the paint issues can be fixed under warranty, and to see if the service plan will transfer. I am also going to see if they will inspect it and give me some kind of "certified pre-owned" document, since I'm sure they would resell it as such if I traded it in to them. I will update this listing once I talk to them about the above items.

The car is still under warranty. The basic warranty is 3yr/36,000 miles, and the powertrain is at least 5 years/100,000 miles. My dealership offers a lifetime powertrain warranty, but I will have to check with them to see if that transfers to a new owner.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021

Tue, May 4 2021

Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
