Truck is in extremely good shape for 2004. Not mint but very very very good shape. We used the truck as the Kenwood eXcelon demo vehicle for the past 2 years here at Big Picture AVU. Truck itself is in very good shape. I didn't drive it much further than back and forth to the store so not much wear and tear since I've had it. Tires are in pretty good shape as well. It has been parked during the winters and as of the moment only has storage insurance on it. My wife used to be a technician at one of the service shops here in Cranbrook and went over the truck regularly. If it needed to be fixed... it got fixed! Truck does not leak or sweat from anywhere. This truck literally needs nothing. I purchased it locally from Northstar GM as an "optimum used" vehicle. I had a levelling kit installed in it by Integra Tire which allowed for the slightly larger 31" tires.
Really good solid vehicle both mechanically and cosmetically. As I mentioned this truck was used as a Kenwood demo vehicle for Big Picture so it did have a really nice audio system in it. If you are interested in car audio I can arrange to have a nice system put back into it otherwise I will just put a basic one back into it. The graphics on the rocker panels and rear glass ARE NOT paint. They are vinyl graphics made up by our friends at Selkirk Signs. They are 100% removable with NO damage to the paint underneath. The rocker graphics actually will have protected the paint so whether you want them or not it will have been a benefit to you that they were there! The entire truck is also lined in sound damping material (dynamat) which we used to improve the sound quality of the system however if you are not into car audio it also does a great job at keeping out road noise! This will be the quietest Colorado in town! 

I want this truck sold and will consider realistic offers. I would also consider a trade for a Ford Sport Trac or a 4 door Jeep Wrangler.


I will only sell this truck to someone that can finish the paperwork with me in person. In other words NOBODY who wants to buy it for top dollar who conveniently is stationed in Australia but would be more than happy to cover the shipping costs! 
I require a $500 deposit when the auction ends. This is the only form of payment that I will accept through paypal. The rest needs to be sorted out in person. If you live near the Cranbrook area the truck is available in person and for a reasonable offer I have no issue ending this auction.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.

In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
