This 2001 Chevy Suburban 4x4 has done it's job and has taken good care of my family. I'm the 2nd owner and I've performed all the required maintenance on this grocery getter myself. My wife is the one who drives it and all she does is pick up groceries and drop kids off at soccer practice. I made a deal with my wife that I would get her a new car after college, now I have to keep my end of the deal. Shouldn't of open my big mouth! We just drove this suburban from Columbus GA to Killeen Tx and I can still get 509 miles per gas tank which breaks down to 16.9 mpg. I'm confident this SUV can make it anywhere in the country without any problems, last year I drove it from Utah to Georgia as comfortable as it's meant to be with 3 kids in the back screaming they need to pee every 20 miles or so :). I'm in the military so I have access to the mechanics shop on post, I regularly take my cars there to do routine maintenance, the car currently has 174,000 miles but runs great and transmission shifts smoothly, both engine and tranny have had all the maintenance done to go for another 100k miles without a major problem. Within the last year I've -

-Maintenance the rear end ($200)
-changed the original spark plugs and wires ($60)
-Added 22" wheels and tires ($1,700)
-New water pump and thermostat (this spring) ($140)
-tinted windows (maybe to dark in some states) ($200)
-recharge air conditioner (professionally of course, blows ice cold) ($100)
-installed a new stereo ($250)

I really don't want to sell it, I know it's a great running car and since we don't owe anything on it it's just savings us more money each month. The car doesn't leak anything at all, come to think of it I think it's been the only vehicle that hasn't left a oil stain in my garage. Anyone who buys it can be confident they can drive this home without any issues. The next oil change it due in 2,000 miles. All the windows work as well as the rear A/C unit. I don't want to sell it but my wife deserves a new ride she's been patient. My reserve is about $1,700 below market value, since I'm not a dealer I'm not trying to squeeze every cent out of this car for a profit, all I'm looking for is a fair price so I can put it down on another car for her. If you have any question please feel free to contact me directly on my cell at 801-390-3030. If you're interested text me and I'll send a video of the engine running and one of a test drive.

$500 deposit due 24hours after auction ends and full payment made no later than 7 days after that. Thanks for viewing and Happy Bidding!!!

Updated 7/24- Reserve reduced!!! My wife conveniently came home with her new car today and so this Suburban has got to go. I'm not holding this back it's going to the highest bidder... Thank you for looking!

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
