Vehicle is equipped with a 2.2L 4-cylinder bi-fuel engine, which averages around 28 MPG. The CNG tank can hold around 5-6 GGEs (gallons) and the regular fuel tank holds about 12 gallons. This gives you a range of 500+ miles. This car has four Goodyear tires. Although the pictures show a mounted power inverter and floor mats, both of these have been removed. The inverter was really nice and could be remounted; I'd be happy to include that with the car (just let me know). I've placed the generic floor mats (from Costco) in a different car... sorry. The inverter is nice because it allows you to plug in your regular computer, phone charger, etc. without fiddling around with the DC outlet and related accessories.
There is a mechanical problem that you should be aware of, which I'm told will cost between $600-$2,000 to fix. As a student I do not have the time, money, or inclination to fix it. The vehicle starts up and drives, but it cannot travel long distances because it overheats. I've had 2 mechanics look at it and they agree that the head gasket is blown. Therefore, I am selling as is with no warranty expressed, written, or implied. This would be a great vehicle for someone who is mechanically inclined. My mechanic quoted me the following scenarios: (a) $600 to rebuild the engine with a 50/50 outcome, (b) $1,000 to replace the engine with a used one, or (c) $2,000 to replace with a new engine. In any of the 3 cases the vehicle would retain it's CNG capability. You could do the labor yourself and have a CNG vehicle for much less.
I've also noted that the passenger's side headlight is more dim than the driver's. As I understand, this is a common problem for these vehicles, but I have not investigated how to fix it. Also, I noticed that the A/C had difficulty working when the vehicle was at a standstill. Works great when driving. Despite this, the vehicle and A/C did wonderful in the blistering Arizona heat. The body and interior have wear typical of a vehicle its age. There are also cracks in the dash (see picture), especially near the driver's side windshield. Headboard in good condition, but the visors are not (see picture).
At the very least, this would be a great parts vehicle for someone with an existing CNG cavalier (i.e., donor car), as you would still qualify for the tax credit and obtain expensive CNG parts at a fraction of the normal cost.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
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.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
