2003 Chevrolet Tracker Base Sport Utility 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars

For auction is a 2003 Chevy Tracker convertible 4x4 with 5-speed manual set up for towing behind an RV.  It has low miles (66,634) because my wife and I bought the Tracker new for her to drive 10 miles one way to work and also to have a small vehicle to occasionally tow behind a van camper on camping vacations.  She retired and we traded the van for a 5th wheel camper so now the Tracker is available to someone looking for a great ‘Toad’.  As you can see from the pictures, it is very clean inside and out.  The original two-piece soft convertible top was still new looking when we replaced it with a hard top.  The soft top is included with the car and it is still in great shape.  Four new tires were put on in December, 2011 and they have 8,666 miles on them.  The tires have been rotated on schedule, the oil and filter have been changed regularly and any needed maintenance has been taken care of.  It is a fun little car, never been smoked in and simply runs great and is easy to tow!   

The towing equipment that comes with the car includes: the base plate that is installed, tow bar with safety cables, Brake Buddy system for activating the brakes on the car when the RV brakes, and a light bar on the rear that includes running lights, brake lights and directional signals.  The Tracker is ready to be hitched to the back of your RV and you will be legal towing in all 50 states.  The cables for the Brake Buddy are stored under the dash and those for the light bar are stored under the hood.  If the successful bidder picks up the Tracker in an RV, I will demonstrate how to attach the components and prepare for towing.

The remote power locks are not working.  The car uses some oil between changes.  There was a minor fender bender on the driver side front.  All damaged parts were either repaired or replaced at the Chevrolet Body Shop.

Some of the features that are on the car include: air conditioning, cruise, tilt, power rack & pinion steering, power windows & mirrors, variable intermittent wipers, stereo radio with single CD, ‘Auto-On’ daytime running lamps, and full size lockable spare.  We had both aftermarket rust proofing and undercoating installed shortly after taking delivery.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
