OFFERED IS MY 1995 CHEVROLET CAPRICE CLASSIC WAGON THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR THE LAST 5 OR 6 YEARS AND HAVE PUT THE LAST 90000 MILES ON OR SO.


VEHICLE IS LOCATED AT MY HOME IN MYERSVILLE MARYLAND ZIP CODE 21773.  I'M ABOUT 2 MILES OFF OF INTERSTATE 70.  IF YOU NEED TIME TO ARRANGE PICKUP OR SHIPPING,  I CAN STORE THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT YOU MUST MAIL PAYMENT IMMEDIATELY.   IF YOU OPT TO PICK UP IN PERSON, PAYMENT MUST BE IN GREEN CASH.  NO CHECKS, IOU'S, NO CREDIT CARDS AND NO PAYPAL EXCEPT FOR THE DEPOSIT.  YOU ARE WELCOME TO DRIVE THE CAR BEFORE PAYMENT TO CONFIRM ALL OF MY INFORMATION ABOUT THE RIDE ETC. ETC.  

HERE IS THE BASIC STORY ON THE CAR:

WHILE I BELIEVE THAT YOU COULD DRIVE THIS WAGON FROM MARYLAND TO CALIFORNIA WITHOUT ANY BREAK DOWN CONCERNS OR PROBLEMS, THE FACT IS THAT THE CAR NEEDS SOME WORK.  FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS THAT I OWNED IT, IT WAS A GREAT CAR THAT DIDN'T NEED MANY MECHANICAL REPAIRS.  HOWEVER, IT SEEMED LIKE AROUND 120,000 OR SO, IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY MONTH .  MOSTLY SMALL STUFF LIKE HUBS, WHEEL BEARINGS, WINDOW REGULATOR, ALTERNATORS, STARTER AND THAT SORT OF THING.  BUT THEN THE WATER PUMP LEAKED WHICH TOOK OUT THE OPTISPARK A FEW  WEEKS LATER AND THE REPAIRS BECAME MORE EXPENSIVE.  AFTER THE WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT AND THE OPTISPARK REPLACEMENT I DECIDED THAT I NEEDED A NEW RIDE.  I ORDERED A NEW TRUCK BUILT THE WAY I WANTED IT AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION  WENT BAD ON THE WAGON.  $2500 LATER FOR THE JASPER TRANSMISSION AND  INSTALLATION, I MADE A DEAL WITH MY WIFE THAT I WOULDN'T INVEST ANY MORE SIGNIFICANT MONEY IN THE CAR AFTER MY TRUCK WAS DELIVERED.  THAT WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO OR SO.  SINCE THEN, WHEN LITTLE THINGS WENT BAD THAT I WOULD HAVE FIXED BEFORE, I JUST PUT A BAND AID ON IT TRYING TO BUY SOME TIME BEFORE SHE HAD TO GO.  NEXT THING I KNEW, THE AC HAD TO BE CHARGED TWICE A SUMMER,  THE ANTENNA ONLY GOES HALF WAY UP,  THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR WENT BAD OR SOMETHINGS IS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO GO DOWN SIDEWAYS IN THE DOOR WHEN YOU TRY TO PUT IT DOWN, THE BRAKES ARE STARTING TO MAKE NOISE IN THE FRONT AND THE MICHELIN X ONES, WHILE HAVING BEEN GREAT TIRES, ARE PRETTY WORN, BUT STILL NOT BALD OR DANGEROUS.  EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU GET AN OIL BURNING SMELL EVEN THOUGH THE REAR MAIN SEAL WAS DONE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS DONE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO OR LESS.  SO OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS SOME SORT OF LEAK OTHER THAN THE NOW REPLACED REAR MAIN SEAL.  MOST RECENTLY, THE POWER STEERING PUMP STARTED WHINNING, SO I ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID,  ABOUT 500 MILES LATER I NEEDED TO ADD MORE FLUID, THEN MORE FLUID AFTER 300 MILES AND NOW IT PISSES IT OUT ABOUT AS FAST AS I ADD IT INCLUDING THE PRESTONE STOP LEAK FLUID.  I THINK IT NEEDS A NEW PS PUMP BADLY AND I MEAN YESTERDAY,  ALSO,  I PULLED THE DESIGNATED AIR SUSPENSION FUSE BECAUSE WHAT I THINK MUST HAVE BEEN THE SUSPENSION PUMP WAS MAKING GROANING NOISES WHEN I HAD IT LOADED DOWN WITH STUFF IN THE BACK.      

IT'S SEEMS STRANGE TO SAY THIS OF AN OLD CAR THAT NEEDS OBVIOUS MULTIPLE REPAIRS, BUT TO ANSWER THE MOST COMMONLY ASK QUESTION REGARDING THIS OLD CAR, YES I BELIEVE THIS WILL MAKE IT FROM MY HOME IN MARYLAND TO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO DRIVE IT INCLUDING AS FAR AS CALIFORNIA.   THE ONLY URGENT ITEM IS THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM WHICH I THINK IS THE PUMP.  THE AC CURRENTLY IS NICE AND COLD, ALL OTHER BUTTONS WORK GREAT INCLUDING SEATS, CLIMATE CONTROL MIRRORS, RADIO ETC. ETC. ETC.  NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND NO COVER UPS WERE DONE.   I AM PRETTY SURE THE JASPER TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TRANSFERS WITH OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR.  I'M NOT KIDDING, WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP PROBLEM FIXED, I WOULD FEEL SAFE HEADING TO CALIFORNIA FROM MARYLAND TOMORROW.  THE OIL CHANGES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DONE ON TIME OR USUALLY A LITTLE EARLY.  IN FACT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I HAD THE OIL CHANGE DONE, NEW AIR FILTER AND WIPER BLADES INSTALLED.  IT DRIVES SMOOTH AND STRAIGHT AND DOESN'T PULL AT ALL.  HAS GREAT POWER AND I'VE ADDED 44K EVERY 15,000 MILES OR SO FOR YEARS.  

THE CAR HAS BEEN OUTSIDE FOR 99% OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS RUST ON THE LEFT REAR AS MANY OF THESE WAGONS WILL.   IT ALSO  HAS SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES ALL OVER THE PLACE FROM 155,000 AND NEARLY 20 YEARS OF USE.  THE MILEAGE LISTED WILL BE "AND COUNTING" BECAUSE I DO STILL DRIVE THE CAR.    

ANYWAY, THERE YOU HAVE IT , $1000 AND NO RESERVE OR $1300 BUY IT NOW.   I THINK THE HUB CAPS ALONE SELL FOR $100 ON EBAY AND THE NOW TWO YEAR OLD TRANS WAS $1500-$2000 NOT INCLUDING INSTALLATION.   SO, MAYBE THIS CAN BE A PARTS CAR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIX IT?  OF COURSE, YOU CAN JUST DO WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YEARS AND THAT IS AVOID PUTTING THE PASSENGER WINDOW DOWN, LIVE WITH THE HALF UP ANTENNA WHICH STILL GETS GOOD RECEPTION, CHARGE THE AC TWICE A YEAR ETC. ETC I THINK THE SCRAP VALUE IS $500 OR MORE BASED ON THE WEIGHT, I JUST THINK IT'S STILL WORTH MORE THAN JUST SCRAP.  

SORRY ABOU ALL THE TYPING MISTAKES AND GRAMMER MISTAKES.  IT'S LATE AND I'M TIRED.  

ONE LAST THING.   THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN SMOKED IN AND I THINK I'M THE SECOND OWNER.  IT HAD EITHER 59 OR 69 K WENT I BOUGHT IT FROM THE ESTATE OF AN OLD FELLA THAT DIED.

2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season

Wed, Jul 30 2014

Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Chevy Volt owners log half a billion electric miles, 2015 production starts

Thu, Jun 19 2014

As General Motors gets ready to start 2015 Volt production Monday, Chevrolet is looking back at some of the numbers that got the car to where it is today. The headline number is that Volt owners have collectively put more than a half-billion electric miles on their cars. The unsurprising upshot is that, if you went out and bought a Volt, you're pretty keen on getting as many electric miles out of it as possible. 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. The typical Volt driver goes 970 miles between fill-ups, GM says, and that means that 63 percent of all miles are done on battery power. General Motors executive director Larry Nitz gave AutoblogGreen a few more details on the usage habits of Volt drivers, including that 81 percent of commuting miles are electric. Two-thirds of US Volt drivers charge their vehicle 1.4 times a day, a clear indicator of drivers trying to maximize electric miles through opportunity charging. In fact, Nitz said, 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. GM also says that the Volt's official 35 miles of electric range is still doable for many owners who have had their car for more than 30 months. Looking ahead, we know that one upgrade for the 2015 Volt will be 4G LTE connectivity that can turn the car, like others in the GM family, into a mobile wifi hotspot. We're of course much more interested in when GM is finally going to start production of the next-gen Volt, but GM officials would only tell us that they're very excited about the still-secret vehicle, promising we'll be learning more "soon." Nitz did confirm that today's Volt drivers are most interested in three things from the next-gen model: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. He did not say whether or not GM will be able to deliver on those requests. Chevrolet Volt Owners Surpass Half a Billion Electric Miles After 30 months of use, a sampling of Volts shows consistent all-electric range 2014-06-19 DETROIT – Since its launch in late 2010, Chevrolet Volt owners have accumulated more than half a billion all-electric miles. Additionally, based on a General Motors' study of more than 300 Volts in service in California for more than 30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated label of 35 miles of EV range per full charge, with about 15 percent surpassing 40 miles of range.
