Have you ever seen an item or vehicle for sale online, gone to look at it in person, and then discovered that the seller wasn’t completely honest or “forgot” to mention significant flaws?  I have, and it wasted my time and a plane ticket, so I will not do that to you.  If I’m aware of a flaw, I will tell you about it NOW rather than try to mislead you with this truck.  I am selling this truck for an estate, and it’s not costing me a dime to sit here, so I have nothing to gain by tricking you, and my integrity to lose by doing the same.   With that being said, please ask me for any clarification and I will do my best to get that information to you. 

This Avalanche is a 2007, first year of the new body style, with the 5.3 engine.  I’m not 100% sure of the trim level, but I believe it is the LTZ or LT, as it has all the options and cost about $40k new.  This Avalanche has been a one owner vehicle, but had to be transferred twice within the estate and may show those additional "owners".  Carfax is clean, I have one from May, but you’re welcome to run a fresh one on your own.  The Carfax I have lists one backup collision (considering it has a camera and sensors, I don't know how THAT happened) with no damage.  

 

2007 Chevrolet Avalanche LT/LTZ  VIN# 3GNEC12J97G238192

123,918 miles

Black original paint on black leather interior with burlwood trim. 

Front tires are nearly new, rear tires are above the wear bars.

Original wheels were painted (or powdercoated, I’m not sure) black and have spacers to make them appear wider.  These spacers are the high quality type with their own studs and do not compromise safety.  

Original Bose sound system (with rear seat controls) upgraded with MTX amp for subwoofers (subwoofers themselves are missing) and Pioneer head unit with navigation and satellite.

Transmission was professionally rebuilt less than 100 miles ago and shifts as new.

Engine replaced under warranty by dealer, I believe around the 30k mile mark, but I’m not 100% certain.  I will look through the records and try to get that information for you. 

Ice cold A/C and hot heater

No rust (south Florida car since new)

Upgraded Flowmaster mufflers (nice rumble, especially under acceleration)

Driver’s door switch bank replaced with new OEM.

Aftermarket alarm (not sure if it works though).

Windshield just replaced by Safelite.

Back door and window limo tint (front doors non-tinted).

 

 

The bad:

Tailgate handle broken (still works, but needs replacing)

Front bumper has small hole (about the size of a dime) and a light impact at the driver’s side below the grill.

Billet grill is bent

HID foglights, but passenger side headlight bucket is melted and needs replacing.

Misc. dings, scratches, chips overall with a nasty gouge/dent on the passenger fender.

Dash is cracked behind passenger airbag (please research this.  It’s a known defect from Chevrolet and they usually replace it for a nominal fee)

Headlight switch works but the mount is cracked on the left side, so you can push it.  It doesn’t need to be replaced, per se, but is annoying if you’re anal about stuff like that like me.

Bezel around gauges has weird stains on it.

Some cigarette burns on headliner and seats (pictured). 

Backup camera is only zip tied into place and does not work.  May be disconnected.

Driver front air pressure sensor non-functioning.

Check engine light on, possibly O2 sensor issue.

Stereo possibly has a loose ground.  Sometimes it works great, other times it has a whine or won’t power up. 

Front driver’s suspension has an occasional clunk.

 

Ok, please read this:    I am selling this truck for an estate as a family friend and am not a dealer.  I’m making zilch on this, and it’s not costing me anything to sit there, so I don’t need to sell this “here’s a low ball offer for CASH TODAY!!”  Please, don’t waste my time.  Truck is available for inspection in Delray Beach, Florida, and I welcome you to bring a mechanic.  You are welcome to go look at the truck anytime you like, but my work schedule is heavy and I will have to schedule an appointment if you’d like to take it for a drive.   There are new ceramic coated headers and an aftermarket sway bar available to purchase if you want, but I will NOT include them with the sale of the truck.   The truck was well maintained since new, but neglected when the owner fell on hard times, and it’s been parked with only occasional use for the past two years.  It starts right up, runs great, and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere (if you can deal with the danged radio).  This truck is PERFECT for someone looking to get a clean Avalanche well below market value and fix it up as they drive it.  Looks mean, sounds meaner and is comfortable.   I expect a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours upon the close of the auction, with the truck picked up within 7 days of auction end, or storage fees will be added.  Full payment due at pickup.  I can certainly assist with a shipper or local storage if need be.   Please ask any questions prior to the auction end as I'm not going to negotiate the price after the auction.  I can take any pictures or video that you’d like, as I want you to be happy when you come to see it and not disappointed.   I have some YouTube videos already uploaded that give you more information and details, please email me for links. 


It's a great truck, just needs a new owner and some TLC.   Thanks for looking and good luck with your bidding!

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers

Thu, Apr 2 2015

What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
