What you are viewing is a future collector car. This car has super low miles (8200) which was the reason we bought it. The owner was local and we pounced on it when we saw it. Our plan was to baby it, take it on a few long trips and enjoy it, but our plans have changed and it is time for someone else to enjoy it. Our reserve is very reasonable for an all original C-5 with this few of miles. Since we purchased this beautiful Speedway White time capsule of a car, I have replaced the battery, changed the oil with Mobile One, and had professionally installed a 3M invisible shield for the front to avoid those nasty bugs and stone chips. It was too perfect to have survived for 15 years to be ruined. I figured if I could save it for $500; it was money well spent. It spends most of its days hanging out in our heated insulated barn where it is covered and on the battery maintainer. We only drive it on sunny days on main roads and we never leave the car unattended. So far, this summer, we have put about 50 miles on it. I have never washed the car with water and the previous owner stated it had never been in the rain. It is never left outside at night. The only problems that I see with the car is that the passenger door won’t unlock with the remote or the switch, we just reach across and unlock it. I suspect it is the module? $65 to repair it? There are two small scratches, one about three inches behind the gas door and another just above the right rear side marker light. The seals and door gaskets are in excellent shape. The engine runs smooth with no smoke or strange noises. We debated about adding louder exhaust but decided to keep it stock. All the lights operate as they should, the headlight doors open perfectly with no noises. The interior looks and smells like new. As you can see from the photos, I have the original owner’s manual, two key fobs, and an unopened video tape. The seats look fantastic and they are really much more comfortable than I imagined. One thing about the car that we really enjoy is the HEADS UP DISPLAY. Why doesn’t every car have this? We have only had the top off once, for a road trip. The other time I had it off for a parade. Personally, we would rather have the top on with the A/C on full blast. Super cold. This is a great opportunity to own a super car for less than half the price of a new mustang. The engine and transmission combination is perfect and powerful. This is a reliable car that you could load up and take off on a long trip. It runs great and starts perfectly. We hate to see it go, but we cannot keep them all. Right now we get our insurance from the Corvette Museum and it costs about $500 a year with guaranteed value. We live in Michigan, so we have to pay the ridiculous catastrophic claims fee which is almost half the premium. Thanks for checking out our beautiful C-5.

GM seatbelt recall affects over 1m Silverados and Sierras
Fri, Apr 15 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall 895,232 examples of the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the US. The campaign will also affect the trucks in markets worldwide, and the total number the company will recall is 1,037,982. The Problem: A steel cable connects the seatbelt to the vehicle, but over time repeated bending can cause the part to fatigue and separate. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will enlarge the side shield opening and install a pusher bracket on the tensioner. Technicians will also replace the entire tensioner assembly if necessary. If You Own One: GM will contact owners about the recall. The company hasn't said when those notifications would begin. More Information: There are still about 3,000 new examples of these older pickups at dealerships. Until mechanics fix the problem, these vehicles are subject to a stop-sale. Similar problems have affected the General's vehicles in the past. In 2015, the company recalled over 400,000 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu for fatiguing cables. It also hit over a million Lambda platform crossovers in 2014. GM Recalling Certain 2014-15 Pickups to Repair Seat Belts DETROIT – GM is voluntarily recalling 895,232 model year 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the United States because the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of the driver repeatedly bending the cable when entering the seat. This issue was discovered through warranty data, and there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue. For trucks in the field, dealers will enlarge the side shield opening, install a pusher bracket on the tensioner, and if necessary, replace the tensioner assembly. The recall in the United States includes a stop-sale of approximately 3,000 new 2014 and 2015 model year pickups still on dealer lots. Dealers will repair the vehicles prior to delivering them to customers. Customers will be notified by General Motors. They also can look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) at either https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ website or at https://my.gm.com/web/portal/ownercenter to see if their vehicle is part of the recall. GM also will voluntarily recall and repair these models in other countries where they are sold, including Canada, Mexico, and several countries in Latin America and the Middle East.
GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models
Fri, Mar 28 2014General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.
Thu, Jul 14 2022All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.
