This is a cool 2008 Tahoe -- it has a clear CA title and brand new CA License plates.  It has just passed its smog test and its registration is good until next August.  This car started life as a white Tahoe service vehicle in Virginia.  It was well kept and has a low mileage count of 84K miles.  It was bought a year ago by a production company and taken to Detroit where it was used in a commercial.  For filming it was painted and dressed as a Michigan State Police SUV.  That's why it is currently the light blue that it is.  

I have set the reserve low -- the blue book is 20k for this car 

Before I could buy the car, all of the police badges and sirens had to be removed -- it is illegal to drive a fully dressed cop car ... even in Detroit.  The search lights remain on the front windshield pillars and seem to be wired but not functional.  You will see in the pictures a few shots of it BEFORE I drove it away where it has all of its POLICE badges etc.  When all of that was removed we plugged the drill holes from the siren on the roof with rubber stoppers.  Also there was a POLICE sign on the hood that we removed and plugged the drill holes.  The drill holes are pretty small but evident.  The paint is good not fantastic.  There are a few spots where you can see drip lines -- on the driver door there are a few drip lines that used to be covered by the POLICE decals.

If you don't know these cars you will need to know that the interior has cloth buckets up front and a leather bench for a second row.  There is no console as cop SUVs typically have guns locked to the floor between the seats.  For a carpet there is a rubber mat -- presumably so that if you are transporting a bad guy who is bleeding or puking ... you can just hose it out the next morning.  I have checked on EBAY and you can buy all kinds of goodies to make this truck just like a soccer mom's -- you can buy a third row bench or a console that fits perfectly between the front buckets.  Or just leave it all copped out ...

It has a CD player that works -- the AC works great -- it drives really nice as I drove it 700 miles in a day through UTAH earlier this summer.  I am posting the pictures I have right now -- I may post a few additional ones that show the plugged holes.   The car is registered and insured so come take a look if you are serious. I have been driving it regularly, it's really a nice ride. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.  Thanks for reading ...

Reminder the car started life WHITE -- it was painted LIGHT BLUE and NO LONGER has POLICE DECALS AND LIGHTS.

It has a really cool PUSH GUARD on the front so you can disperse your local riot or flee the zombie apocalypse in fine style.


On Aug-26-13 at 15:33:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

I added a few new pics that show some of the interior and also the drill holes in the hood -- I placed a quarter in between the holes to give you some size reference -- I also took a pic of the driver door as there is a small dimple/ding below the handle on the body line -- I realized I have a spare stock wheel just like the ones it rides on -- they are the actual cool, black, stock rims with new rubber -- in fact all of the rubber on the car is very new -- Also I realized that there is a cool switch on the lower driver side dash that strobes the headlights -- pretty cool -- I also took a pic of the driver door sill as you can see that the mat has a split in it from heavy boots kicking it.  I am a long time e-bayer with 100% feedback and plan on keeping it that way.  Any questions or concerns you have ask me now.

I also have found the original rear wiper arm -- in one of the photos it shows it to be missing -- it has been found and put back on and it works 

come drive it -- it's awesome

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes

Thu, Feb 5 2015

General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

Chevy Silverado Midnight Edition coming to Chicago

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Between the GMC Canyon Nightfall Edition and Chevy Silverado Custom Sport, the truck divisions of General Motors had no lack of blacked-out custom pickups to showcase at the Detroit Auto Show this year. But now the General has announced one more. Called the Midnight Edition, for this special Silverado blacks out all the trim, including the grille, bumpers, headlamp bezels, tow hooks, fog lamps, side and beltline moldings, 19-inch wheels, bedliner and bowtie emblems. It's based on the Silverado 1500 with the Z71 package, so it also boasts an off-road suspension, locking rear differential, hill-descent control and trailering pack. While it was at it, Chevy has also thrown in rear park assist and power heated door mirrors. Buyers will be able to choose between double- or crew-cab models, but no more than 5,000 examples will be produced this year, each priced at a premium pegged between $1,595 and $1,995 (depending on the model). The Silverado Midnight edition debuts today at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention in San Francisco and will be showcased at the Chicago Auto Show next month, around the time that deliveries will commence. 2015 Silverado Midnight Edition is The New Black Monochrome appearance package to debut at NADA and Chicago Auto Show 2015-01-22 DETROIT – Truck fans know that nothing adds presence to a pickup like basic black. And Chevrolet is taking black to the next level with the Silverado Midnight special edition, on display starting today at the National Automobile Dealers Association Convention & Expo in San Francisco, and making its public debut February 14 at the Chicago Auto Show. Beginning with a black Silverado Z71, the Midnight special edition adds: - An all-black front end with body-colored grille, bumper, headlamp bezels, tow hooks and fog lamps; - Black side moldings and beltline moldings; - 18-inch black painted alloy wheels with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac all-terrain tires; - Special Z71 badges on the doors; - A spray-in bedliner (black, of course); - And the finishing touches – black Chevrolet bowties front and rear. Like all 2015 Silverado 1500 Z71s, Midnight special editions include off-road suspension, a locking rear differential, Hill Descent Control and a trailering package. Midnight special editions also include rear park assist and heated, power-adjusted outside rear-view mirrors.
