1992 Chevrolet Caprice Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l Very Low Miles!! on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Okay, Ebay nation, I have had it with Craigslist and all the " I'll bring the money tomorrow" speeches. I have had 3 seperate offers of 2600.00, 2500.00 and 2300.00, never to have heard from the offerees again or the ever popular " hold it for me for one more week". So here it goes- It's a 1992 Caprice with 32,860 original miles. I believe I am listed as the 3rd owner but really the 2nd. I bought it from and elderly couple in south central Pennsylvania. The story as they told me was it was a dealership courtesy car in Virginia, came to an auction house a year later with a little over 12,000 miles and these nice folks bought it. They had it until January of 2013, when I bought it from them with just under 27,000 miles. When I bought the car and took it to my mechanics for state inspection, they advised me to get new tires on the front. They were nearly new with about 90% of their tread still there. My mechanic advised me that the front tires did have plenty of tread depth left but that they were over 10 years old and wouldn't stick to the road that well. This car sat a whole lot of time in their business garage without being used. I also had the replace the complete rear brake assembly: shoes, drums and wheel cylinders which had deteriorated over time from non use. The front tires have less than 6000 miles on them and I just replaced the rears, all matching Kuhmo( I think that's how it's spelled) whitewalls. The rear tires were replaced for this years state inspection and have less than 700 miles on them. New EGR valve, fairly new plugs and wires and serpentine belt. The car runs like a dream. This isn't a guarantee, but you could probably drive cross country and never miss a beat. Has new oil change and coolant was flushed and replaced with new thermostat about 6000 miles ago. I had the A/C serviced last summer and it's cold as ice. Body is straight and paint is clean save for some minor scratches and chips that can't be seen unless you are on top of them. Refer to one of the pictures for a very minor ding on the rear passenger quarter. I removed all the beltline trim as I preferred the smooth look. The interior in nice and clean, no rips on seats and no cracks on dash, door panels or armrests.Carpets are in decent shape. A little dirty at the moment but clean up nice and have a little bit of fading from time.Headliner has zero sag. Seats are not power but manual. Has base am/fm cassette radio that works fine.Nice clean trunk with spare and spare cover. I don't have any pics of the trunk( forgot!) but if you want to see it I will try to accomodate. Engine starts and runs nicely and runs very, very cool. The temp gauge only goes up about a thrid of the way. My wife and I took a trip to Pennsylvania Dutch country in September and we opted to take our Caprice rather than our 2012 Jeep. This is a nice highway car. But alas, we needed a big truck with 4 wheel drive (the Philly region is about to be hit with its 15th snowstorm!) as we swap cars with a son that still lives at home. He was using the Caprice on weekdays and we would use it on weekends but the Caprice is not great in the snow so it's been sitting. I struggled with keeping it because of the low miles but we probably won't use it much, sad to say. So Craigslist didn't yield anyone serious but I hope that if you like the car, that you will follow through with the purchase if you should win the auction. Email questions. I am starting low and letting it go where it will. You may get a great car for a good price. Clear title from PA in my name. If you are in the philadelphia area, you may come over for a look. We can take it for a neighborhood drive but I have to be behind the wheel as I have taken the insurance off and the car now resides exclusively in my garage. Thanks for looking! p.s. The horn stopped working since inspection. Since the car has hardly been used, it may be something minor. I don't think it's a fuse but maybe a contact issue. All glass in good shape. All windows work but the right rear comes back up on an angle and you have to help it by hand. I want to disclose all I know so nobody gets any surprises. Thanks again. p.s.s. I forgot to mention that I have a pair of aftermarket, fiberglass fender skirts that are in the trunk. They are new and will have to be painted but they will add a cool look. I have a pic of one of the skirts included. p.s.s.s. I keep thinking of stuff- I have receipts for all the work done. Receipts are in the glovebox. If you want to know what I had done and breakdown of cost, give me a holler.Had some requests for pics of the engine. I just added 3. I hadn't detailed the engine compartment so you see it au naturale. I did forget to mention that the previous owners had put on a new alternator but I couldn't swear when and had changed the battery at the same time. p.s.s.s.s. I have had a couple questions about the bumpers and molding strips. I did remove them all around. The bumpers are in decent shape with the paint being duller on the bumpers. The rear bumper has a slight crack behind the license plate.By the way, the winner will win by friday night. My wife and I will be away friday til sunday afternoon. But I will try to contact winner via the hotel computers(I don't own a laptop, I'm too cheap to buy one!).

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan
Sat, Jul 22 2017Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric
Wed, Feb 15 2017General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:
