Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Took picture of the damage, I believe it is the frame that is snapped, rusted out. It is on the rear Drivers side by the back tire. There are also a few dents in the front drivers side, and the bumper of the car sags just a bit due to rust."

 Up for auction is a 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo LS.  Its appears to be the frame, but not sure as I no mechanic, is what has snapped.  I took two pictures of it.  It is on the drivers side of car near the rear tire.  It also has a few dents on the front drivers side as well, the the rear bumper sags a bit on the drivers side.  I took pictures of them all.  Other than those flaws, the car is operational and in working order other than the frame issue.  As it is right now, it is not in a drive away ready condition.  It will need to be towed or hauled out, as the rear driver tire will scrape against the fender of the car if you happen to hit a bump, turn and such.

It currently gets roughly 400 per tank of fuel on a  14 gallon tank.  Only running issues is that the transmission will not shift into overdrive, and hasn't for the last two years, at full speed will run in the drive gear.  You can use the overdrive gear on the transmission, but the car will not shift into it.  Also on hot summer days the engine will warm a bit if going slow/ stop and go traffic conditions.  Rest of time when cruising at normal speeds and such, engine temp will run around 170.  There is a very small oil leak, we don't know where.  We gave it oil changes about every 4000 miles give or take a couple hundred, and would loose approx. 2 quarts of oil.  We never had to add oil to the car in between oil changes.  Has a nice CD box/radio in the car

We have since purchased a new car and just want to find someone who is looking for a fixer up car, a car to part out, or to do whatever you wish to do with it.

No deposit is required upon winning auction.  We do expect the following.

Car to be paid in full upon pickup with cash or money order only
Must be picked up within 1 week of end of sale - accomodations can be made if that don't work for you.

LOCAL PICKUP ONLY FOR THIS ITEM.  WE WILL NOT SHIP NOR DELIVER.  We are located in Crandall GA , which is 15 miles East/Northeast of Dalton Georgia/I75, or approx half hour southeast of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

If you have any questions, please ask.  I will answer them the best I can.

GM faces possible class action lawsuit over 8-speed transmission

Thu, Apr 25 2019

General Motors has been hit with a class-action lawsuit from owners who allege the eight-speed automatic transmission found in several rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC models between the 2015 and 2019 model years has a defect that causes the vehicles to hesitate and jerk when accelerating or slowing down. The lawsuit was posted to ClassAction.org and spotted by GM Authority. Problems with GM's Hydra-Matic 8L90 and 8L45 transmissions have been well-documented on Internet forums and via complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with many reporting damage to their vehicles. The lawsuit was first filed in December in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida but appears to have been transferred recently to New York. Autoblog sought comment from Theodore Leopold, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs. "These transmissions have a common defect," the complaint reads. "Drivers attempting to accelerate or decelerate their cars feel a hesitation, followed by a significant shake, shudder, jerk, clunk, or 'hard shift' when the vehicle's automatic transmission changes gears." The problem also occurs when the vehicles accelerate in a single gear, without shifting, the plaintiffs allege. "Drivers have reported that the shift is sometimes so violent, they feel as though they have been hit by another vehicle." The problem is believed to center on the transmission, torque converter or both. The complaint says it causes undue friction, causing hydraulic systems and gears to function improperly and sometimes leaves metal shavings throughout the transmission, leading to costly repairs and replacement of parts or the entire transmission. It says GM has known about the problems since shortly after it introduced the transmissions, and has issued 13 technical service bulletins, none of which have resolved the problem. GM declined to comment on the lawsuit. The plaintiffs say GM should have warned consumers about the issues and covered repairs under each vehicle's three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. They're seeking statewide classes in at least six states: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.

Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?

Sat, Sep 23 2017

If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.
