Up for auction is a 2006 Chevy Express 1500 cargo van. 

It's actually a 5 door but eBay only has an option to select 4 door. What's up with that? 


This van looks like it's in mint condition inside and out (if your eyes are closed) and has exceptionally low, low mileage. (344,045 mostly freeway)

It comes with free locksmiths stickers and some big, honkin' padlock hasps on the doors so you can keep the tweekers out of your stuff. 
(see photos, padlocks not included)

The interior is shockingly not too bad if you don't mind a couple of small, random seat holes and stains of unknown origin.
There's a slight odor but I can't quite put my finger on it (not that I'd want to) but I'm pretty positive it's not cat.
The headliner is in one piece but good luck keeping the sun visors from flopping around, I think it's kind of a GM deal.
The glovebox thingie on the doghouse is missing, it's been on my list of things to replace but I just haven't gotten to it yet.  

Despite having purchased the vehicle new, I have very few repair receipts. Not that the van never needed repairs, 
I'm just lousy at keeping records. Honestly in all the time I've owned the van it's never needed anything major, 
these 4.3L engines are darn near bulletproof. 

The oil was changed religiously and the the engine seems strong considering the mileage and the occasional 
"check engine light" that sometimes appears. 

I guarantee this van can be driven at least 10 miles with no major mechanical issues as long as long as you stick 
to the speed limit on side streets. Take it on the freeway and all bets are off. 

The windshield has some pretty interesting cracks; amazingly intricate spiderwebbing but not a ton of 'em. 
The rest of the glass is in good shape. All the doors lock and unlock, open and close and the windows operate 
as they should.The tires are needing replaced but hey, "bald is beautiful".

There are no electrical issues that I'm aware of but I'm unaware of many things. 
All the headlights, tail lights and turn signals worked the last time I checked them (sometime in 2012)  

Somewhat surprisingly, the body doesn't have any major dents.
The front bumper has kind of a big ding in it. Yeah, that's what happens when people J-walk. 

The back cargo area is just that.. a cargo area. There are no benches or racks of any kind but there is a 
bulkhead dividing the front of the cab from the back cargo area. 

I'm starting this listing a $1,000 (I know, right?!?) for a couple of reasons.  
1) even high mileage Express vans are going for stupid money, and
2) I'm sure that the van is worth at least that much in just spare parts.  

Oh, and this is awesome: The A/C actually blows pretty cold.   

Feel free to drop me a line with any questions or to schedule an appointment to come check it out. 
This sale is for local pickup only, I'm far too lazy to ship this van anywhere.
Heck, I don't even plan on washing it. 

I'm in the area of I-17 and Glendale Avenue in Phoenix.

GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric

Wed, Feb 15 2017

General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:

2015 Chevrolet Colorado GearOn Edition is ready to do that outdoorsy thing

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Bikes, skis, kayaks... the Chevrolet Colorado GearOn is ready to accommodate all of them, thanks to a trip to the Bowtie's accessories catalog. The special edition Colorado features the basics of Chevy's GearOn accessories, including a bars package, bed divider and tie-down rings, which can be supplemented with other accessories to haul all manner of outdoor equipment. Beyond that, though, Chevy has fitted a few other items to lift up the Colorado's styling, including gloss-black 18-inch wheels, black Bowtie emblems, a body-color grille, off-road assist steps and front foglights. It's a tidy little update to the compact truck's still-fresh styling. Check it out in our full gallery of live images, direct from the Chicago Auto Show.

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog.

If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.
