1996 Chevrolet Impala Ss Near Perfect Dcm Lt1 Mint 100% Original on 2040-cars
Athens, Tennessee, United States
|
The car belonged to my neighbor's husband
who passed in February. He bought the car brand new in June of 1997 with
1 mile on it as you can see on the title, and has been the only owner
and driver of the car. He was 83 when he passed so he was either 65 or
66 when he bought it. This car has not been abused. She finally decided
to sell it to me in mid May. The car sat for just over 5 months, so
upon purchase, I had it fully serviced at the local Chevy dealership.
The service included a new battery, radiator flush, oil change, new spark plugs and thorough inspection. The car has 103,000 miles, which include 3 trips to
Vegas from Tennessee and back, and 9 or 10 trips to the Florida Keys from
Tennessee and back. I've driven the car to and from work, which is a 120 mile
trip there and back, several times, for a total of 687 miles since my
purchase. The car runs BEAUTIFULLY. Very quiet, comfortable ride, yet
very strong, and responsive as well. The car is 100% stock other than
the deer and crossflags emblem I added. This is a true SS impala, not a
clone, as can be found on the codes in the trunk. On a scale of 1-10,
the leather is a 10/10, the carpet is 9/10, and the paint is 9.5 of 10,
with no noticeable scratches or dings. Everything on the car works as it
should from heat and ac, locks and windows, EVEN THE CRUISE CONTROL
WORKS ON THIS CAR. The tires are BF GOODRICH GFORCE 255/50/17 which was
stock option when produced. There is approximately 80-85% tread left,
the tires look great all around. No curb rash on the wheels at all. This
car is in unbelievable condition. My description or the pictures do it
no justice! I own a 2011 Camry and a 2010 Silverado, and neither are as
clean as this Impala. It's truly remarkable, and unbelievable the
pampering and care this car has received. I've seen numerous b-body's,
even some with under 30,000 miles, but this is the cleanest, purest SS
I've EVER seen!
BAD: The
car sat for over 5 months in a detached garage after the owner's
passing. Squirrels nested under the hood and scratched the insulation
under the hood. (Pics below) The
odometer fades in and out which is common for these vehicles. You
cannot see the mileage during the day, but it does fade in and out, and
is visible at night time. There are 2 plastic knob covers missing from the factory radio adjustments. You can still adjust the bass and treble without the covers.The rear driver window rolls up and down, but does come off track momentarily. Please feel free to message me your number for videos and any more pics you may want... Also, do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have about the vehicle, as I know it's entire history, and have seen the service records dating back to 2002. I have 100% positive feedback, so please bid with confidence, as you can assure that I am an honest seller, that has yet to disappoint a customer. Thanks for stopping by and God Bless you all!! |

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Fingers point to dragged-out NHTSA investigation after second death by ARC airbag inflator
Thu, Oct 14 2021Safety advocates have increased criticism of the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after an exploding airbag inflator that's been under investigation for more than six years killed a second person. On Wednesday, NHTSA posted recall documents filed by General Motors that revealed the second death, the driver of a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse SUV with an inflator made by Tennessee company ARC blew apart, spewing shrapnel. No details were given about where and when the death occurred. NHTSA has said that ARC Automotive of Knoxville has manufactured about 8 million inflators used nationwide in vehicles made by General Motors, Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis), Kia and Hyundai. “NHTSA should have been all over this along time ago,” said Rosemary Shahan, president of California-based Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety. “There's just no denying that itÂ’s a (safety) defect.” NHTSA, the agency charged with with keeping America's automobiles and roads safe, began investigating ARC inflators in July of 2015 after two people were injured by flying shrapnel. The investigation became more urgent in 2016, when a Canadian woman driving an older Hyundai Elantra was killed by metal airbag fragments. Public records show only a little progress on the probe. In April, the agency posted a memo in saying it was reviewing volumes of information it received from ARC. Safety advocates such as Shahan say that the dragged-out investigation is an example of the deadly consequences that can result from an understaffed and underfunded agency. The second death should not have happened, Shahan said, and vehicles with faulty ARC inflators should have been recalled faster. The agency, Shahan said, is “grossly underfunded," but it still should have sought recalls of the ARC inflators. She said historically NHTSA has taken little action during Republican administrations but has ramped up safety efforts when Democrats control the White House. Messages were left Wednesday by the Associated Press seeking comment from NHTSA and ARC. At this time, relatively few vehicles are effected. The GM recall covers only 550 Chevy Traverse SUVs from the 2013 through 2017 model years, as well as Buick Enclave SUVs from 2008 through 2017. The automaker said in a statement that the faulty front driver's airbag inflators were either installed at the factory or in replacement airbag modules.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
