So here is the deal - I REALLY REALLY don't want to get rid of this car, but I am in a position where I have to at this point. We recently had a death in the family and it resulted in a free new car. Thus, we now have one too many cars and no where to put this one. My loss your gain (and my wife's gain as she hates on clutter and is on me to get rid of this car ...).

This car is an excellent first car, college car, daily driver, grocery getter, whatever you want to call it - nothing flashy - just an honest to goodness hard working vehicle for people who are money conscious and want to get from point A to point B.

Let's get to it - this is a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier with 128,538 miles on it ... which means realistically it has not even used half of it's mileage life yet!! Why the low miles you ask - my commute to work is about 3 miles and we always rent a car when we take long road trips so we don't run up the mileage on our cars. THIS IS A ONE OWNER CAR ... YES ... ONE OWNER. We typically keep our cars for a very long time and we care for them like they need to last forever. Oil changes every 3,000, tires rotated every 6,000, trans. fluid changed religiously, air filter, pcv, and the list goes on. If it is on the scheduled maintenance item list - it has been checked and maintained.

I will tell you right now what makes this car a prize possession and why I don't want to get rid of it - GAS GAS GAS!! This CAR HAS THE 2.2L engine and is FANTASTIC on gas! I believe the milage is somewhere around 30 mpg - and that is amazing when you consider this car was built in 1996! Honestly, it is a money saver.

With all of that said - this car is a 1996 ... so it does have it's minor issues just like any older car. Here is what you are looking at - air conditioning does not work. I believe it is simply a leak, but I have not recharged it in a couple of years because it just really never bothered me. My drive was so short it really did not matter. The headlights only work in "brights" mode. This is a short and can be found all over the internet as a known issue. If you are handy - this is an easy fix - if not, just use the brights as the lights as I have. It has been no problem at all as the brights are not "crazy" brights like newer cars so they pretty much look like normal headlights and work fine. Body has some rust near the gas tank. Lastly, the hood release does not work from in the car. I fixed it using a piece of cable that you can simply reach under the hood and pop it - no big deal and you could probably fix it fairly easily if you had time and were handy. Other than that - this car is mechanically very sound and we never hesitate to drive it. In fact, I have had my daughter (in her 40's, not a "kid") driving it rather than having it sit and I trust it 100%.

I am more than happy to share service records with you if you are interested. I have a spreadsheet with all of the dates and mileage of services performed.

IF YOU BUY THIS CAR I WILL ALSO THROW IN MY HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL. It has served me well and should go with the car so you can keep it running for a long time and well maintained - hopefully it will be helpful to the buyer.

What else would you like to know? If you have any questions at all or if you would like additional pictures or if there is any way I can help out with information about the car please don't hesitate to contact me and I will be more than happy to offer up anything I can.

As you can see - I have been on Ebay for a long time - I don't sell a ton of stuff, but the stuff I do sell is always 100% feedback as you can see.

Best of luck and Happy Bidding to all!

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To 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):
