1999 Chevrolet Blazer Ls Sport Utility 2-door 4.3l on 2040-cars
Crystal Lake, Illinois, United States
This is what happens when Engineers and Pilots own a vehicle. It is maintained to a higher standard. The carpets are near perfect. The Upholstery near perfect without rip or tear. The exterior has only a few blemishes in all this time caused by the miscreants that never learned to park! This has always had a synthetic oil. Either Castrol or Mobil 1. It has been Mobile 1 consistently for the last 2 years. Upon oil change, the oil filter is always primed, never installed dry.
I bought it used from friends a couple of years ago as I knew it's history, to do scouting stuff with my son and to pull our jet ski. It has the GM camping package. My daughter just got her license and she doesn't wish to drive our Blazer to school. So this sale will fund the purchase of something she likes. Beyond that, my son is 6'-6" and is getting too tall to climb in the back seat these days. Although he has more leg room in this vehicle then most. If only I could find a four door this nice, we would keep it! This car has been more reliable than any foreign car we have owned. Plus, if one does break down with this in a no name throwback town, likely the part is in stock. Try that with a 5 series..I have, and will never buy a BMW again. The 4 wheel drive works as it should, everything does for that matter. It is doubtful there is a cleaner S-10 Blazer in the Midwest, it presents as a 2005 or newer. More pictures to follow, Ran out of daylight.
Serious enough to call for more info? Make an offer? 847-340-3308 8AM- 10PM Central, 6AM-8PM Pacific, 9AM-11PM Eastern Listed in local paper and Craigslist. Priced at the high end of the range, It is simply that clean. Reliable as a hammer. I've been looking for a 4 door to replace it. Spent countless hours trying to find one at dealers or private parties with no luck. After my experience with this truck, 4 runners and Honda Pilot's are just not as sound mechanically, or as cheap to own. |

2016 Chevy Volt arrives with 50-mile EV range, 41 mpg [w/ video]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Let's start with the numbers. The 2016 Chevy Volt will have an all-electric range of 50 miles from a new, 18.4-kWh lithium battery. It will get 41 miles per gallon (combined) once the battery runs dry and have 102 MPGe. Oh, and it has five seats, sort of. To compare, today's four-seat 2015 Volt has a 38-mile range from a 17.1-kWh battery in a powertrain that offers 37 mpg and 98 MPGe. So, across the board, there are notable improvements. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk story. General Motors will unveil the new Volt at the Detroit Auto Show later today, but it's been talking about how this new version – the first major plug-in hybrid vehicle to get a serious redo in the modern era – was crafted with reams and reams of data from first-gen Volt customers. At a preview event for journalists last week, GM executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told Autoblog that these owners "gave us the recipe" to make the second-gen model. At the top of the request list was more range (check), more "fun-to-drive" behavior (check?) and a smoother and quieter experience (we'll assume a check here, given that the new 1.5-liter four-cylinder – the first North American application of this new engine family – should offer more power with less noise than the previous 1.4-liter, four-cylinder powerplant). Other customer-driven changes in the new Volt include a different place to store the charging cable (in the side of the trunk instead of under the load floor) and a new brake system with improved blended regenerative braking feel as well as driver-selectable regen levels. The requested 50-mile range comes from a new, lighter battery that has increased capacity from fewer cells (192 vs. 288) and a simplified control architecture. Along with the new battery, the electric drive unit is a two-motor deal that is up to 12 percent more efficient and 100 pounds lighter, while also being "tremendously smaller," notes Fletcher. It offers 294 pound-feet of torque and a maximum 149 horsepower of "motoring power" delivered to the wheels. GM says it has worked hard to reduced the amount of rare earth materials in these motors, and one of them doesn't use any at all. The new powertrain offers improved acceleration times, as well. The 2016 Volt can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, a seven-percent improvement, while the 0-30 mph time has been improved by 19 percent, down to 2.6 seconds. The new Volt is more conventional looking, but certainly not completely ordinary.
Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels
Sat, Dec 20 2014The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.
