Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my auction.  First of all, I have a vehicle history report on this truck that I would be more than happy to forward this, by e-mail, at your request.  I think it's a waste of money to give the "Big Guys" $30 or $40 bucks for this same report.  I can forward to you my username and password so you can access the full, detailed report from VehicleHistoryRecord.com  Simply send me your e-mail address.  I have the clear title in my name and it is ready to sign over to the new owner. 

You are bidding on a 2002 Chevy Avalanche SUV/Truck.  It has a 5.3 Liter engine which runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly.  The engine only has 155K on it, so that's not bad at all.  It has heated seats which feels great in the winter, cruise control, power locks and windows, AM-FM CD player!!  I purchased this vehicle recently, thinking I would have the time to put into it and make it the sort of truck I know it can be cosmetically.  Turns out that I really don't have the time for it nor the extra cash to do the job right, considering it's so close to Christmas.     

The guy who I bought it from told me he had hit a deer in the front not long ago.  You can see from the pics as to what is needed.  There is a "Service 4wd" light that is on in the dash.......so, it currently runs in 2wd only. He told me the interior 4wd switch was bad.  I did notice that it did not light up as it should when you pressed the buttons, so you be the judge. "ABS" light is also on.....probably because the brakes need bled. The tires are in great shape and I have a full sized spare that comes with the purchase.  I think it will need a ball joint and possibly a wheel bearing on the right front.  The brakes are cautiously adequate for a short distance drive in light traffic, but need to be bled properly to be totally safe.  I have driven the vehicle about 50 miles since I bought it and I was impressed with the engine and tranny. You can see from the pictures what it needs, so look at them and decide for yourself.  If you win this auction, to be on the safe side, I would load it onto a trailer.  Rather be safe than sorry.  The rear tailgate needs a new handle. So, I took an interior pic of the bed from behind the rear seats.  The bed looked fine.  There is a dent in the rear bumper.  If you put some work in the exterior, I think this would make a very fine looking vehicle.  The drive train is excellent. 

I am calling this a "project vehicle" and the winner of this auction must understand that this Avalanche is strictly sold "AS IS".  I am starting off the bidding at a VERY, VERY low price.  Tonight, I went to NADAguides.com and entered this vehicle with all of the options, leather seats, Z-71 package, towing, etc. The average trade on this truck is $6575 AND the Rough Trade value is:  $5425.   

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail.  Thanks again for looking & Merry Christmas to all.

GM recalling 521,817 cars in two campaigns

Tue, May 12 2015

General Motors is issuing two, separate recalls covering a total of 521,817 vehicles worldwide. The larger campaign covers 468,887 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu. Specifically, 437,045 of these are in the US, and the rest are outside the country. In these sedans, a steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate. GM knows of 36 claims about the problem but only one minor injury. According to The Detroit News, this happened when a taxi driver hit his head. To fix things, dealers will replace the "outboard lap mounting bracket," which will move the tensioner rearward. They'll also inspect and if necessary replace the steel cable and lap pretensioner. In the second campaign, 52,930 examples the 2015 Chevy Colorado and 2015 GMC Canyon have seat frame attachment hooks that were installed incorrectly during assembly. GM hasn't received any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities about this problem. Dealers will inspect the affected trucks and repair as necessary. GM spokesperson Alan Adler told Autoblog that he didn't yet have a specific date when affected owners would receive official mailings about either of these recalls. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 48,309 2015 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks in the U.S. because certain seat frame attachment hooks were not properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly. Dealers will inspect the potentially affected seats for proper installation and repair if necessary. GM knows of no crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 52,930 including 4,620 vehicles sold in Canada. General Motors is recalling 437,045, 2011-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibus in the U.S. because the flexible steel cable that connects the safety belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement in the seat. Dealers will replace the outboard lap mounting bracket to relocate the tensioner slightly rearward. Dealers will inspect the cable and, if necessary, replace the lap pretensioner. GM knows of 36 claims, no crashes or fatalities and one minor injury reportedly related to the condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 468,887 including Canada, Mexico and exports.

Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming

Sun, Feb 5 2023

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.   Marketing/Advertising TV/Movies Chevrolet GM GMC Hummer

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
