You are bidding on an amazing, reliable, luxurious and durable 2003 Z71 Premium Package Chevrolet Suburban! 

 

This vehicle currently has 184xxx miles and is in excellent mechanical condition!  It is ready to go another 100,000 miles easily.  If you know anything about a Suburban, you know they can easily go 300,000 miles if mechanically well maintained.

 

This vehicle honestly starts, runs, and shifts like it came off the factory line.  It has been excellently maintained since my ownership at 140,000.  The old owner also shared my attention to mechanical detail, but let his wife drive the vehicle and kids sit in the back freely.  They were not careful and the leather and exterior are now in fair condition because of it.  With that being said, the vehicle has always had timely oil changes and services since day one sparing no expense from the previous owner and myself.  The first owner didn't keep maintenance records, but promised me it was well taken care off mechanically throughout his ownership.  

My records pick up at 140,000.  This vehicle has every bell and whistle you could ever imagine.  My personal favorites are the OnStar capabilities, XM Radio, Bose Sound, DVD Player, captain chairs in front and back, third row, tons of cigarette lighters for your electronic use, great handling, smooth ride, huge trunk, amazing four wheel drive that will leave you stuck nowhere, lifetime (comes with cleaning kit) K&N Air Filter, and did I say space?  This truck is so roomy, you could have 7 people all sitting comfortably.  Oh, and most importantly the power.  This truck will tow and accelerate better than most in the game.  This is a great undervalued truck being sold at a devalued cost.  Blue book in fair condition puts it at $6,000-$7000 or more.  I will let it go for much less as I am moving and no longer will need this great truck, or else I would keep it forever.  This vehicle will not let you down for many thousands of miles to come.  Any questions, please feel free to ask. 

 

 

Here are the are the 100% honest things wrong with the vehicle that I have not had time to fix:

1. There is a small rod in the steering wheel that is slightly corroded.  This is a very common problem in this model and year.  This corrosion causes slight vibration only when sometimes turning left and if turning at very high speeds.  It has honestly never bothered me, so I never replaced it.  It does not bother performance whatsoever.  $100 bucks for repair

2. This vehicle has some rust spots, but none significantly on the body and the amounts are completely in line with the year and mileage of the vehicle.  There are only two spots that are developing on the body.   There is a small spot on the left rear panel and one on the passenger rear right door.  Both have been treated with rust protected coating and repainted to match the vehicle.  This seems to keep the rust from spreading.  Should be visible in photo. The front guard has also been painted to match the rest of the vehicle since it was fading.  The Chevrolet marker on the front hood has also been painted due to fading.  

3. The right rear tail light is out and this has just occurred today.  I attempted to change it personally and it was unsuccessful.  Probably needs to go to dealership to see if there is a short or may require better quality bulb.  $12-$100 for repair

4. The trunk springs could use replacing as it does not hold the trunk up too well anymore.  I've always just used the gate that lifts up.  Very cheap repair.  Just $20

5. The body is in fair condition.  It has very small dents and scratches in places.  All from the old owner.  There is also a little piece of plastic missing on the side of the front bumper.  Is not noticeable unless really looking.  

6. That’s it! Just remember it is a used vehicle and can’t be perfect.  I have done my best to describe this vehicle.  The vehicle is sold as is and no returns or exchanges will be accepted. 

7. This truck is in amazing mechanical condition as noted by the few problems. 

8. Lastly, you are responsible for picking this vehicle up and a $500 deposit is needed to PayPal immediately upon winning the auction.  The rest of the payment is due through Paypal in 3 days.    Thank you and happy bidding!

Recharge Wrap-up: EV torque secrets, UC Davis maps future of biofuels

Fri, Jul 25 2014

A UC Davis white paper maps out "Three Routes Forward for Biofuels," balancing investment risk with carbon benefits. The first option is "incremental," in which we tinker with the existing biofuel manufacturing infrastructure for small improvements over time. The "transitional" plan suggests integrating cellulosic production and other innovations with existing operations. The third route, called "leapfrogging," would mean building refineries based on new technology such as cellulosic and algae-based biofuels. The paper suggests ways the US could use these three routes together in different areas, and predicts the payoffs in terms of carbon emissions could be significant if the right people are willing to risk the capital. After all, financial advisers are always telling investors to diversify their portfolios to manage risk and rewards in the same way. Read more over at the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies. The Formula E Long Beach ePrix will offer free admission. The seventh round of the inaugural all-electric race season, which was moved from Los Angeles to the streets of Long Beach, will offer fans free grandstand and general admission. The race, which takes place on April 5, 2015, will use a 1.6-mile portion of IndyCar's Grand Prix of Long Beach. Read more at LA Times. Polaris is now offering its 2015 GEM electric vehicles, including the new street-legal eM1400 LSV. The passenger and utility vehicles come in two- to six-passenger configurations, many of which are street legal on roads with posted speed limits of up to 35 miles per hour. The eM1400 LSV utility vehicle seats two, offers 1,250 pounds of payload, 1,250 pounds of towing capacity, a top speed of 25 mph and a range of up to 45 miles. Its on-board charger plugs into any standard 110-volt outlet. Read more at Hybrid Cars and check out all the different configurations yourself at the Polaris website. In EVs, more torque does not always equal faster. Green Car Reports found this out when driving the Fiat 500e (with 147 pound-feet) against the similarly weighted Chevrolet Spark EV (with 400 pound-feet). The secret is, at least in part, in the gearing. The Fiat has a 9.6:1 reduction gear, making it quicker at lower speeds despite having far less available torque, while the Chevy uses a 3:1 ratio. The trade-off though, is in top speed. Furthermore, Chevy electronically limits the torque delivery at low speeds, as 400 pound-feet is a lot of launch for the little Spark EV to handle.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.
