Like Shrek Only Blue. Strong And Beautiful Inside, Not So Great Outside. on 2040-cars

This has been and still is a great running car.  My son used it to drive to college and/or work at least 4-5 days per week.
There is less than 82,000 miles on the car. He maintained it regularly with the mechanic that takes care of all our vehicles.  
I can provide the mechanics information and you can speak to me or the mechanic directly regarding this car. 
The mechanic has referred this car to a couple customers, so it may not make it to the end of auction. It could be sold early locally. 

THE GOOD!  
The engine is great and very dependable, gets really good MPG, has no leaks and runs as it should.  All maintenance is up to date. 
We just installed a new Catalytic Converter ($400) so it would pass smog here in California. Smog will be completed prior to your pick up. 
The brakes are good and the transmission shifts smooth through all the automatic gears. The Air Conditioner blows very cold. 
There is no chips or cracks in the glass. The interior looks good, it has dark gray stain resistant fabric with a split fold down rear seat. 
It drives straight and true as it travels down the road. Alignment recently done. Our mechanic was not concerned about the vehicle's history report. 
All the electrical items work: turn signals- headlights - outlets - interior lights.

The Not So Good!  
As indicated there is a salvage title, not a big deal on an older car at this price. The previous damage was contained to the front end and repaired.
Our mechanic has inspected the car numerous times and does not see the damage indicated on the history report.  
There have been a few other minor incidents to the grill and fenders. We have replaced the fenders. The grill can use more work. 
There are a few dents in the hood from a group of kids that wanted to make some noise on New Years Eve.  The hood has a few dents in the metal. 
There are a couple small cracks in the plastic where the sun hits the dash.  But the rest of the dash looks pretty good. 
There are a couple bumper stickers and a magnet that did not come off as they should have (a residue is stuck on the rear fender).
Like I said,  We call this the "Blue Shrek"!!  Not so good looking, but a strong heart with a great attitude.  

This would be a good car for a student or someone that needs a dependable car for driving around.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
