Hello, up for auction is a 1997 Chevrolet Lumina with 126,700 miles. This vehicle is an automatic sedan with overdrive. I am selling this for my family, my father in law drove this and recently passed away. I drove this car for around 50 miles to check everything out, and went through every control and feature that the car has. I am very impressed with the car's handling and overall solid condition. I have checked with the family and this car has never been in an accident (other than a low speed backup that sideswiped a wooden post), nor have any of the airbags been deployed. No warranty with the vehicle, vehicle sold as-is where-is.

The car was always driven weekly up till last month. This vehicle was used to go to and from work. The car is in great condition mechanically, with no issues that prevent it from being driven across the state or cross country. Oil was changed every 5,000 miles.The brakes work perfectly, transmission shifts smoothly, vehicle does not shake or vibrate at any speed, and starts easily. Tires are at 85%-90% tread and match, radio works and all switches and controls work as well. Cruise control works, automatic door locks work, and all power windows work as intended except as noted below.

Here are the only issues with the Lumina:

The top of the cab has paint fading (see pictures)
The drivers side has scratches and minor dents from backing up into a post
The passenger side has several minor dents from parking lots
The A/C does not work and needs a new compressor
The cassette deck does not work (other than this, the original radio works well)
The dash is cracked above the steering wheel (see pictures)
The interior is in fair condition, with stains in the seats and carpet (see pictures)

The vehicle is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction at any time. In addition, vehicle can be inspected between now and Wednesday if arranged, please email me to set up a time and for directions and details. Vehicle is in Emanuel County Georgia near Kite. The successful bidder will need to pick the vehicle up by this Wednesday March 12th, 2014. If pickup must be made after March 12th, 2014, arrangements will need to be made for a Saturday or Sunday pickup only. Cash only. $100 deposit via email due 24 hours after auction ends (if vehicle is picked up within 24 hours of auction ending then deposit not required). Clear title is in hand.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut Â– which could pressure the stock."

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
