General overview:


Model: 3500 6.0L V8 Work Cargo Van A/C Tow Pkg & Stereo
Engine: V8 6L OHV

This Express has the 323-hp, 6.0-liter V-8 with 373 pounds-feet of tourque. Standard safety features for all models include: four-wheel-disc antilock brakes and lap/shoulder belts for the all center seats. This engine has air-filter and oil-life monitors and are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission that incorporates a Tow/Haul mode.  This 6.0-liter V-8 has a fast-idle option that makes it easier to run accessories while the vehicle is idling. 
  • 86,000 miles only
  • 6 liter V8. Excellent engine. 
  • Reliable, clean, well maintained
  • Great battery. Starts perfectly. Very reliable.
  • Electric Tow Bar (wired, ready to be connected), A/C (good), power windows, no rust, great bodywork, regularly serviced
  • 5 New tyres, with excellent tread
  • Seats 15 (full set of seats). Seats are very fast and easy to remove, for big loads.
  • Was originally a Government vehicle. So, very well maintained, religiously serviced and in excellent condition.

Great, new stuff:

  1. Brand new paint job (white) - paid $1,500 - this week
  2. Brand new window tint (professional, all round) - paid $350 - this week
  3. Brand new spark plugs, oil change and filter - paid $100 - this week
  4. Brand new seat covers - this week
  5. Brand new underlay - this week
  6. Brand new carpet - this week
  7. Professionally cleaned throughout - this week - $100

That's $2050 of value, right there!

Only negatives (very minor, but worth mentioning for complete transparency):

  • Exterior: A very, very small dent on one side panel. It is almost invisible to the naked eye.
  • Interior: Original seats (gray leather/vinyl) are a bit tatty (hence seat covers)
  • Interior: Original roof fabric is a bit tatty (might replace)
  • Interior: One interior rear door panel is missing (easy to replace and easy to find cheaply on ebay)

So... with a very small bit of work, and a little bit of tender love and care, this van will be in great shape. Adding possibly 5k to the value. These vans (at this mileage and condition) regularly sell for 15-20k. They also hold their value well and it is easy to find many of these which are going strong at 150, 200, 250,000 miles. Case in point, I recently saw one advertised on a local craigslist, with 260k on the clock, going for 8,500. Enough said. These hold value, work forever and are much loved by all.


I have a very genuine reason for sale - my wife doesn't like driving it and she makes the real rules. She wants something smaller and something that looks a little cooler! Otherwise, we've been very happy with it. It's been great to us and great for the kids.


I am willing to deliver this anywhere (within reason) in the Continental USA for 1,000 extra. Mainly because no-one else seems to do that and I'm up for a road trip.


These vans sell fast. This is in great condition and the buyer will be very happy. Bid in confidence and without delay, this won't hang about!


So tell me matey, what are you waiting for?


Don't delay, stick your bid in now.

 
NO TIMEWASTERS. NO BIDDERS WITH ZERO, NEGATIVE OR VERY LOW FEEDBACK. NO TYRE KICKERS. ONLY BID IF YOU WANT TO BUY. NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT (20%) WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION. BALANCE IN FULL WITHIN 7 DAYS. I WILL ONLY DELIVER UPON RECEIPT OF 100% CLEAR FUNDS AND THE $1,000 DELIVERY CHARGE.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.
