********************************************************************************************

Offered is a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS convertible, 2.4L I4 MPI.  This Chevrolet has 120,410 miles and is being sold, as is with NO RESERVE so we do not have to re-list.  This Chevrolet is being auctioned by the Woodridge Illinois Police Department.  The history of this vehicle is unknown as it was seized in a traffic-stop arrest that occurred on November 14th, 2013.  Following the arrest this Chevrolet was stored in a warehouse.  It was awarded to the Woodridge Police by court order on March 3rd, 2013 and we hold clear title.

We will attempt to describe this vehicle to the best of our ability and you may inspect the vehicle, in person, by appointment.

The body has scratches, scuff marks and dents.  There is rust near the rear wheel-wells and where the rear bumper meets the trunk.  The weather stripping at the top of the windshield is cracked.  The power convertible top works as expected but there is a small rip in the convertible top located near the rear driver’s side window.  See photos. 

The interior is dirty and shows ware.  There are cracks in the plastic of both door panels and the dashboard.  See photos.    

During a brief test drive, the Chevrolet accelerated and handled as expected for a vehicle of this age and condition.  There was noise from the rear during braking and the Chevrolet may need brake work.  There was some muffler noise during acceleration.  The air conditioner blows cold.  The bottom of the engine is wet with fluid (see photos). It is suggested that the buyer have this Chevrolet inspected/serviced by a qualified mechanic before use.  See photos.   

The NADA listed value for this 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS convertible 2D is $875 for "Rough Trade-In", $1,375 for "Average Trade-In" and $1,775 for "Clean Trade-In".  We would place this vehicle in the “Rough” category but it is always recommended that you inspect the vehicle and make your own assessments before bidding.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
