This is the second attempt to list this fine truck.  The first one listing didn't meet the reserve despite lots of interest.  So here it is again NO reserve!

Hello.  With our boys heading to college, its time to downsize and sell our dependable family SUV.  I have spared no expense maintaining this truck because this SUV hauls my family every day through every kind of weather.  As I'll explain, this truck is in absolutely perfect mechanical condition and should make someone a reliable, affordable vehicle for many years to come.  Pick it up and drive it to the grocery store or anywhere across country with confidence.

The basics:  The Suburban is powered by a 5.3l v8 with automatic transmission.  It has push button four wheel drive with high and low range. We've never towed or plowed with it but it sure has plenty of power. The truck starts in any weather without fail and has never let us down.  I have taken great care of it going above and beyond on maintenance.  I've done the oil and filter changes religiously with premium products. The truck does not smoke, use oil, or leak a drop of any fluids. 

Serviced recently:  Brand new air conditioning compressor, brand new ceramic heavy duty brake pads on all 4 wheels, brand new rotors on all 4 wheels, 4 newer matching goodyear all season tires with 90% tread.  Its super roomy with 3 rows of seats for 9 adults and all your gear.  The double barn doors on the back are a great feature for loading and unloading groceries, sleds, your stuff.

The Good:  Truck is well maintained and has never let us down.  Frame and paint is solid with no rot or rust issues.  It is reliable, roomy, and safe.  The 4x4 system works great and the truck is very sure-footed; she's gotten the family home safely every time through the worst New England blizzards and ice storms.  The GM 5.3l v8 is known to go 3-400,000 miles or more with proper maintenance.   At 150k this truck is still breaking in.  All the glass and paint are in good shape.  The kelly blue book retail value is $8,540.

The Bad:  The passenger side rear seatbelt needs an adjustment as one of our guests pulled it all the way out so the recoil mechanism isn't working.  The driver side rear door panel is loose and needs new fasteners.  The front bench seat is black vinyl and has a tear on the driver side.  The two rear rows of bench seats are tan leather.  There are dings and spills as you would expect from 4 boys and their friends climbing around in the truck.  There is one or two shopping cart dings on the outside.   This won't compete with a prius in gas mileage but I always preferred the tough, large envelope around my family over fuel economy.  That's it.

Please check my feedback and bid with confidence.  This will make you a nice, dependable, safe vehicle for any years to come if you keep up with the maintenance.  There is no shipping for the truck.  There are no warranties on this sale.  Title is clear and in hand.  Buyer will get title and bill of sale. Please be prepared to conclude this transaction within 7 days of auction close. Cash at pickup is strongly preferred though I accept paypal if you want the protections it provides.  You are most welcome to come check out the truck before bidding.

Thank you for checking out this auction.  Good luck bidding.

GM re-recalls 11k SUVs

Tue, Oct 13 2015

General Motors is recalling a bunch of previously recalled SUVs because, well, they still aren't quite fixed. The latest repairs are necessary on 10,974 SUVs in North America, including 9,932 in only the US. Affected models include the 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy; plus the 2006 Trailblazer EXT and Envoy XL. While not listed by NHTSA, a statement by GM to Autoblog says the 2006-2007 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender are also affected. In these SUVs, it's possible that liquid could get into the driver's door master power window switch module and cause a short circuit. This could potentially lead to a fire, and owners are urged to park the vehicles outside until repaired. GM has been trying to fix this issue for years. It started as an investigation into fires, and that led to a recall for about 250,000 vehicles in cold-weather states. A nationwide campaign came in 2013 for 193,000 of them in the US. Last year, the automaker decided to replace the whole module as a repair. However in a recent investigation of these recalls, GM discovered that this latest group of SUVs never received the new part. According to documents submitted to NHTSA (as a PDF), "Some dealers incorrectly used the labor code associated with module replacement when, instead of replacing the module, they only added a protective coating to the module." To fix things this time, the models finally get the correct component. Related Video: GM Statement General Motors is recalling 9,932 older midsize SUVs in the U.S. because they were mistakenly excluded from an earlier recall. Certain 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL, and 2006-2007 TrailBlazer, Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender vehicles may continue to have a condition in which the printed circuit board inside the driver's door may corrode and short if exposed to certain fluids such as melted snow containing road salt. GM is aware of four fires but no crashes, injuries or fatalities associated with the expanded recall. The total number of vehicles being recalled, including Canada, Mexico and exports is 10.974. Customers are urged to park these vehicles outside until repairs have been made. GM reported this recall to the NHTSA on September 23.

They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year.

The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC.

Recharge Wrap-up: U of M wins Solar Challenge, family attempts record-breaking e-bike ride

Thu, Aug 14 2014

The University of Michigan Solar Car Team has won the 2014 American Solar Challenge. It is the team's eighth national championship, its fifth in a row, and its first using Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The race took place over 1,722 miles and seven days traveling across eight states. The team's car, called "Quantum," outpaced the nearest competitor by four hours. Looking forward, Michigan Solar Car Project Manager Pavan Naik says, "The switch to Siemens tools will give us the ability to model and simulate everything and truly allow us to optimize the performance of our new vehicle. As we start on our quest to win the World Solar Challenge in 2015, we'll be leveraging a full complement of PLM solutions." Read more in the press release below. The EcoCar3 competition, in which teams will convert Chevrolet Camaros into hybrid electric cars, begins in September. The various college teams will have four years to lessen the car's environmental impact as much as possible while maintaining performance and, of course, that cool Camaro design. EcoCar3, which is put on by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, kicks off with a workshop in Novi, Michigan from September 16 - 18. Read more at the DOE website at the dedicated EcoCar3 site or watch the announcement video at our previous post. Zap and Jonway Auto are shifting to a high rate of EV production. Zap already has two lines creating the Urbee EV to met demand, and is switching over a third to make electric minivans and SUVs. The company aims to produce 30,000 EVs by 2015 for the Chinese market. Zap says it has a backlog of 25,000 Urbee orders. Read more in the press release below. A family of four hopes to make a world record-breaking, 6,000-mile electric bike journey this fall. The family, which recently drove from Argentina to Montana in a pickup with a camper, will ride from Montana to Maine, then down the East Coast to Florida in an attempt to break the record for longest electric bicycle ride. They'll use two bikes. The Father, Thomas, will ride one of the bikes carrying one of the children, while the rest of the family rides in a support vehicle, with the mother, Dylan, riding the second bike when they can find others to drive. They have started a crowdfunding campaign for some of the equipment needed to document the trip. See the video below or read more at Treehugger.
