See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"There is wiring for two screens;however,no screens in there now (stolen yrs ago). Outside nicks here and there. Past 9 months replaced all four shocks, inside/outside tie rods and had the front end aligned. 4 new Firestone Transforce HT LT225-75R16 tires.AC recently fixed. All four rotors/brake pads replaced.Runs great. Never over 4000 miles w/out oil change (burns about 3/4 of a quart in between). Material on driver’s seat and arm of left front seat cracked. Steering wheel flaking. Shade tension string on window immediately behind driver is broken. Missing two left rear taillight bolts (the nuts were rusted on and bolts torqued off (the taillight seems solidly in place). Left door of double-Dutch side doors is stiff and very hard to open, right opens fine (have gone several years using on the right door). Likely leak in windshield fluid reservoir."

This van is truly one of a kind. We purchased the 2500 extended wheel base shell with tow package from Chevy and then had several customs things done to it. Quigley 4x4 in Pennsylvania converted it to an on-demand four wheel drive system, with 2 wheel, 4 wheel high and 4 wheel low settings. DMC conversion van in Milwaukee did the rest. You can clearly see that it has a custom paint job and the paint is still in excellent condition. Inside, it has seating for 9 people – 3 rows of captain’s chairs (driver’s row and 2 passenger’s rows) and a back bench. The bench folds down into a bed. Also, the two passenger rows and the bench are all removable and with them out, there is a lot of storage room. It has a DVD player and has wiring for two screens. Note that I do not have any screens in it now as the two that came with it were stolen before we got the security system and then the two replacement screens were stolen when we forgot to arm the security system. We do have two 14 inch detachable screens that I will give you if you want them. We just put them up before we leave and then take them out when we get to where we are going. The screens can run independently from one another if desired. There is a front CD/stereo (stock) and a rear CD/stereo that run out of different speakers and there are also headphone jacks for the DVD system and rear radio. It has front and rear AC and heat. There are inside running lights and shades on all of the windows in the passenger area (except for the windows on the rear doors, which I took off because they broke and didn't really like them there anyway).

I have done/had a lot of work done to it in the past 9 months – I replaced all four shocks and the inside and outside tie rods and then had the front end aligned. There are four new Firestone Transforce HT LT225-75R16 tires and we have gotten up to 60,000 miles on tires on the van. The AC has recently been fixed and is working as good as new. All four rotors and brake pads were replaced a month ago.

This van runs great – if you watch the YouTube video on it you can hear it start right up. This has been the most dependable vehicle I have owned in 30 years of driving. I have been extremely anal about changing the oil and I don’t think it has ever gone over 4000 miles before changing the oil and filter. It burns about 3/4 of a quart from one oil change to the next, but there is no blue smoke or anything like that from the exhaust. When we recently drive it to Texas and back, it ran smooth as glass at 75 mph and up. We really hate to sell it but our family of 8 has shrunken to 6 and so we just don’t need this big of a vehicle anymore.

Although I think this van is in pretty good shape considering it is 10 years old and has over 173,000 miles on it, it is obviously a 10 year old van that has hauled around at least 6 kids for the majority of its life. I think it is important that everyone knows what the specific “evidences of use” are and want to describe it better here than I could in the other section. The driver’s seat has some cracking in the material….these seats are supposed to be leather but the way the driver’s seat has cracked, I wonder…. (photo included). The top layer of the steering wheel is peeling off, like so many of them do (photo included). The leather on the front passenger captain’s chair arm is worn through (about dime sized or a little smaller) and you can see the frame underneath (photo included). The tension string on the shade on the big window immediately behind the driver is broken and so to get it to stay up we have been using two little Velcro straps. Although I haven’t specifically checked, I am sure that some of the inside running lights are burned out. Also, two of the bolts that hold the left rear taillight got torqued off when I was replacing a light bulb in Texas a few weeks ago. The taillight housing still seems to be fairly solid in there, though (there is another nut and bolt holding it on and it is “form fitting” into the space. I am pretty sure it will be fine without the two lost bolts and I have not had plans to replace them up to this point). GM had a real problem with those double-Dutch side doors (the ones that the passengers use to get into the vehicle). Our model was before they started to put these on both sides of the van, by the way. The doors worked fine for about four years and then the hinges on the left double Dutch door started to get stiff. The hinges then wore out and wouldn't open at all and we have had them replaced but the hinges for the left door still don’t really work. The one double-Dutch door on the right opens just fine and so people can get in and out without a problem. The door on the left does open but it is very hard to open and close – very stiff. No amount of penetrating oil or white lithium grease has ever made it work better. As I said, they both do open but the one on the left doesn't open as far as it should and so if you are thinking of using this van as a hauling vehicle, be aware that you may have limited width to get material into the side. We have gotten along just fine using the one door only. The rear doors work fine. There are a couple small bubbles of rust on the left side low down where the side skirts meet the van (photos included). The van has never been in an accident, but I have driven, at very slow speed, the right front bumper into a small parking pole that I thought I was clear of (photo included) and also backed into something and dented the rear bumper a little (photo included). Also, I am pretty sure there is a leak in the windshield washer fluid reservoir because it seems to run out way faster than I think it should, though I have never seen any evidence that fluid is leaking from it.

Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever

Tue, Jun 3 2014

Chalk 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.

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting

Mon, Aug 20 2018

With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.
