1999 Chevrolet Tahoe Ls Sport Utility 4-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Owings, Maryland, United States
|
Up for sale is a strong running 1999 Chevy Tahoe LS 4x4 Police / Fire edition. I bought this car in September of 2007 directly from the Huntington, NY Fire Department. It was the Fire Chief's vehicle and they had kept it longer than they normally keep vehicles because they felt that it was more "truck-like" as compared to the newer Tahoes and did a better job hauling, etc. They removed the light bars, radios, and other equipment and put silicone in on the roof where the light bar was held on. You can see in the pics that the silicone is still there and there is a small ding that has rusted where the bar dug into the roof. However, the Tahoe was maintained without fail by the Fire Dept and it has served me without fail ever since as my utility / 3rd vehicle. The Police/Fire editions solve many of the problems the regular Tahoes have. It has better brakes, a slightly hotter tune, dual batteries, a different grille, and a rubber floor. Right now the car has 124, 286 miles but I will likely drive it between now and you taking delivery. Before you get it, I'll rotate & balance the tires and do the 125,000 mile oil change for you. I'll also include all 4 volumes of the factory shop manual which will help you troubleshoot any issues and take any maintenance action required. I paid about $150 for the set. Here's the details of the car as I know them:
Paint/Body: The paint job is very good overall, as you can see in the photos. In the hot rod world it'd be a solid 5-10 footer as you don't notice the flaws until you get up close. Both the Fire Dept and I have kept it waxed regularly throughout its life. But it does have some scratches, water spots, and wear that you would expect. The car is accident free. It still has in the working spotlight (but it doesn't turn with the handle inside the cockpit - you have to do it by hand), front marker lights, and a reflective strip around the outside that makes you very visible at night. The rubber trim on the left rear quarter fell off. I still have it if you want it but it didn't serve any purpose beyond cosmetic so I left it off. There's a ding on the passage door and the driver's door is dinged where someone tried to break into the car. There's a long scratch on the hood along with some paint missing in one spot (see pics). There's also a dent/crease above the right rear wheelwell with some white paint left behind as part of the lovely parking lot generosity you get in the DC area. I already mentioned the roof. The headlights were replaced within the last 6 months with the brightest units I could buy, and the rear 3rd brake light is an LED unit that's only 2 years old. There is a tow hitch with standard wiring. Tires/Brakes: The tires have plenty of wear - more than 50% life left. There's some irregular wear (problem has been fixed) on the fronts but they'll be going to the rear. See pics. The front brakes are drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads that have half or better life to them. The rear shoes were replaced about 20k miles ago. I upgraded the lines to stainless steel. Transmission / Driveline: It has the automatic 2-speed transfer case. The transfer case was completely rebuilt at 105k, and works as it should. It was service at 120k with the transmission (DEXRON VI fluid complete flush & filter change). There are no issues with functionality. The front end was rebuilt at 105k (I used it as a daily driver from 105k-115k) with all new ball joints and polyurethane bushings. The car handles better than factory. All 4 shocks were also replaced at the same time. Engine: Full synthetic oil ever 5k miles as prescribed. The only flaw is that the belt squeals a little bit after a soaking rain. There must be a slight leak in the hood seal. The engine has plenty of power. I have averaged 15-16 mpg with mixed driving on 2 Hi. It does not use or leak any oil. I replaced all O2 sensors at 110k. 2 New Duralast Gold batteries at 95k miles. Accessories/Interior: Power doors, power windows, cruise control, heat, and A./C all work. The rear defroster has a few bars gone from the window. The driver's power seat works. There are no rips or tears in the seats. The floor is rubber. There are some stains in the rear and places where the plastic trim has cracked around the barn doors - this was a utility vehicle to me. The dash has no cracks. The gas gauge has a little vibration to the needle but indicates properly. The seat belt idiot light intermittently comes on even when you're belted. I haven't replaced the sensor in the buckle yet. There are two switches left over from its Fire days in the dash. I have a junkyard center console (not anchored down) in the middle of the two front seats. The AM/FM cassette radio works but the speakers and reception can be staticky/intermittent at times. Any questions - please ask. This truck is beefcake. It will serve you well. It has been regularly and well maintained. I am very particular with my vehicles and have tried to disclose to you everything I knew about its condition. I could've said, "runs good, some wear and tear," but I'd rather you felt more confident about what you were getting into. I would trust it to drive from MD to CA pulling a 6500lb trailer across the Rockies tomorrow. |

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models
Fri, Mar 28 2014General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says
Sun, Jun 25 2023Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent. In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
