DOES NOT INCLUDE WINCH & PTO, but you can add $350 and keep them.  I have a guy that will pay me $350 for them, but you can have first crack if you win the truck.  As a result, I have lowered my reserve.

This is a C-20, not a C-10.  Ebay did not give the C-20 as an option, so that's why it says C-10. 

I bought this truck from the city of Lorain at an auction.  It was used by the parks dept to pull a box to drag baseball fields.  It was only used in the local area and that is why the mileage is so low.  It was parked inside and not used during the winter time, which is why the body is so clean.  It has dents and dings and needs a restoration, but it's a very nice candidate for that & is super solid.  

Although it runs nice, i recommend taking it home on a trailer - I have only driven it a very short distance, so I wouldn't trust it until you looked it over good first.  This truck is extremely solid.  It only has minor surface rust on the frame and underneath - not heavy scale. I will add a few more photos in the next day or two, to show the areas that need attention.  It looks like a brand new aluminum radiator was installed fairly recently along with upper and lower radiator hoses.  The tires are pretty decent and have well over 50 percent tread.

I'm going to let the pictures do the talking.  Ask questions before bidding.  I am NOT interested in trading anything.  It has a 350 engine & it has a 4 speed with first gear being granny gear.  If you want any pictures of a specific area, give me a clear description of what you are looking for and an e mail address to send the picture to.  

I have set the reserve at a very reasonable $2,500.  I believe a truck as solid as this is worth far more, but I would rather just get rid of it - i have too many vehicles.  You won't find too many old trucks in this condition without going out west, so if you are from the midwest, factor into your bid, the shipping cost that you may save.

$200 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours or I will offer it to the next highest bidder.  This is to cover my ebay fees if you don't follow through and i have to relist.  Everybody likes to bid, but people don't like to follow through with paying.  DON"T bid unless you have the money and plan to pick it up.  NO EXCUSES.  

Cash on pickup.  I will be going on a 3 week vacation starting May 8th, so you need to pay and pickup before that or you will be waiting until after the 4th of July.

I will NOT end the auction early.  If you want it, BID.

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe

Thu, Oct 16 2014

BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
