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!

Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks

Thu, Sep 29 2016

Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
