Up for auction is a 2000 Chevrolet S10 Pickup. Exterior color is Space Blue Metallic with Graphite color interior. This truck is the LS model which includes body-color bumpers, cloth bucket style seats with console, carpeting, air-conditioning, AM/FM radio with cassette, tinted glass and aluminum wheels. Other features include a 2.2L 4-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel anti-lock brakes. Factory options include tachometer, leather-wrapped steering wheel and heavy-duty rear suspension (which includes an extra leaf spring not found on LS base models). Also included is a Sony 10-Disc CD changer, Extang tonneau cover and front/rear molded mudguards.

I am the second owner of this truck and I've had it for almost 10 years (originally titled in PA). In that time, it has been extremely reliable and it has always started – it literally runs and shifts like new!  I am a maintenance fanatic and I take exceptional care of my vehicles. It has been waxed and detailed on a regular basis (I even wax the door jambs and apply dressing to the rubber weather-stripping ) and I vacuum the interior every 2 or 3 weeks. I’m the kind of guy who calls out sick from work, and then spends the entire day detailing his truck. That’s my idea of fun! The carpeting is very clean (I always use floor mats) and there are no stains on the upholstery (I have always kept a towel on the seats to protect them). I am also a non-smoker. I purchased the truck with 35K miles and I have always used full-synthetic motor oil. I lubricate the door hinges every few weeks. The bed has some scratching, but with no dents or rust, and it has basically only been used to carry such things as groceries, light items, and the occasional piece of furniture. It has never been used to carry things such as gravel or dirt. From 2007 to 2013, the truck was titled in Florida where I lived at that time. Until this day, it has always been garage kept and when I lived in Florida, it was even parked during the day in my employer’s parking garage. And when it’s parked outside, I always us a sun shield to protect the dash. It has not been driven in snow since 2007. The undercarriage is very clean, and the body panels have absolutely no evidence of rust.

Negatively speaking, there is a small approximate 3/8-inch “star” from a stone chip in the lower center of the windshield. I had it professionally repaired when it happened 5 years ago and it has never gotten any bigger. It is small and barely noticeable. The front bumper and hood do have some minor roadway stone chipping typical of a vehicle of this age, however, the original paint is as shiny as new and all body panels are very straight with hardly a ding to be found (I’m always careful about where I park). Otherwise, everything works as it should.

Maintenance items completed:

-          Cooling System (115K miles):  replaced radiator and rubber radiator mounting grommets.

-          Front Brakes (112K miles):  new inner and outer wheel bearings, new rotors, new brake pads.

-          Tires (105K miles):  Four (4) new Uniroyal Tiger Paws.

-          Starter (99K miles):  starter replaced.

-          A/C Repaired (80K miles): new AC Delco compressor and accumulator ($869.23 total).

-          Rear Brakes (68K miles): new drums, new brake hardware, new brake shoes, new wheel cylinders.

Misc maintenance items: AC Delco water pump, AC Delco serpentine belt, AC Delco platinum spark plugs, power steering system flush, brake system flush, oil and filter change, front end greased (every 3K miles and the steering is very tight with no play), fuel injection cleaner (usually Chevron Techron) every 3K miles, K&N air filter cleaned and re-oiled. Additionally, when I purchased the vehicle, I had the manual transmission and rear-end fluid replaced with Amsoil synthetic fluid.

Please contact me with any additional questions that you may have, or if you need additional photos (I have plenty). If you’d like to view the vehicle, please email me and we can work out a date/time. I require a $200 deposit made via PayPal within 48 hours of the end of the auction. And I expect payment in full within 7-10 days. You can make final payment in the form of cash, cashier’s bank check, or personal check (but it will have to first clear my bank before vehicle pick-up). Thanks for your interest and happy bidding!

Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks

Thu, Sep 29 2016

Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.

Weekly Recap: Ford guns for 2016 Le Mans glory with new GT

Sat, Jun 13 2015

On the eve of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford confirmed it will return to the French endurance race in 2016 and campaign the new GT racecar 50 years after three GT40s swept the podium at the Circuit de la Sarthe. The factory will back a two-team, four-car effort that will compete in the World Endurance Championship and the Tudor United SportsCar Championship running cars operated by Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. The GT racecar will make its track debut in January at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and the driver lineup will be announced later. "But rest assured, there's quite a line forming out the door," Ganassi said at the announcement. The GT is the modern successor to the iconic GT40, which won Le Mans four straight years from 1966-1969. The racecar is a rolling testbed of Ford's latest technologies, including a powerful twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. The car also makes extensive use of carbon-fiber pieces and advanced aerodynamics. Ford tapped Multimatic Motorsports of Canada and Roush Yates Engines to aid in the development of the GT racer. The road-going version, which was revealed in January at the Detroit Auto Show, is also set to launch next year. It caps Ford's growing performance lineup, and the company has ambitious plans to launch more than 12 new sporty models by 2020, including hot metal like the Focus RS, F-150 Raptor, and Shelby GT350R. The GT embodies Ford's best tech, but news of its return to Le Mans immediately conjured images of the company's fierce rivalry in the 1960s with Ferrari and intense competition with Porsche. "When the GT40 competed at Le Mans in the 1960s, Henry Ford II sought to prove Ford could beat endurance racing's most legendary manufacturers," Ford executive chairman Bill Ford said in a statement. "We are still extremely proud of having won this iconic race four times in a row, and that same spirit that drove the innovation behind the first Ford GT still drives us today." Ford is going back to Le Mans. Somewhere, Hank the Deuce must be smiling. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 BMW 7 Series arrives in the fall BMW revealed the sixth generation of its flagship 7 Series this week, which will start at $81,300 when it launches in the United States this fall. BMW is billing it as the roomiest 7 Series ever, and it measures 206.6 inches in length.

GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.
