2008 Chevrolet Tahoe 2wd - Police/special Service - on 2040-cars
Beverly Hills, California, United States
|
This is a cool 2008 Tahoe -- it has a clear CA title and brand new CA License plates. It has just passed its smog test and its registration is good until next August. This car started life as a white Tahoe service vehicle in Virginia. It was well kept and has a low mileage count of 84K miles. It was bought a year ago by a production company and taken to Detroit where it was used in a commercial. For filming it was painted and dressed as a Michigan State Police SUV. That's why it is currently the light blue that it is.
I have set the reserve low -- the blue book is 20k for this car Before I could buy the car, all of the police badges and sirens had to be removed -- it is illegal to drive a fully dressed cop car ... even in Detroit. The search lights remain on the front windshield pillars and seem to be wired but not functional. You will see in the pictures a few shots of it BEFORE I drove it away where it has all of its POLICE badges etc. When all of that was removed we plugged the drill holes from the siren on the roof with rubber stoppers. Also there was a POLICE sign on the hood that we removed and plugged the drill holes. The drill holes are pretty small but evident. The paint is good not fantastic. There are a few spots where you can see drip lines -- on the driver door there are a few drip lines that used to be covered by the POLICE decals. If you don't know these cars you will need to know that the interior has cloth buckets up front and a leather bench for a second row. There is no console as cop SUVs typically have guns locked to the floor between the seats. For a carpet there is a rubber mat -- presumably so that if you are transporting a bad guy who is bleeding or puking ... you can just hose it out the next morning. I have checked on EBAY and you can buy all kinds of goodies to make this truck just like a soccer mom's -- you can buy a third row bench or a console that fits perfectly between the front buckets. Or just leave it all copped out ... It has a CD player that works -- the AC works great -- it drives really nice as I drove it 700 miles in a day through UTAH earlier this summer. I am posting the pictures I have right now -- I may post a few additional ones that show the plugged holes. The car is registered and insured so come take a look if you are serious. I have been driving it regularly, it's really a nice ride. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Thanks for reading ... Reminder the car started life WHITE -- it was painted LIGHT BLUE and NO LONGER has POLICE DECALS AND LIGHTS. It has a really cool PUSH GUARD on the front so you can disperse your local riot or flee the zombie apocalypse in fine style. On Aug-26-13 at 15:33:47 PDT, seller added the following information: I added a few new pics that show some of the interior and also the drill holes in the hood -- I placed a quarter in between the holes to give you some size reference -- I also took a pic of the driver door as there is a small dimple/ding below the handle on the body line -- I realized I have a spare stock wheel just like the ones it rides on -- they are the actual cool, black, stock rims with new rubber -- in fact all of the rubber on the car is very new -- Also I realized that there is a cool switch on the lower driver side dash that strobes the headlights -- pretty cool -- I also took a pic of the driver door sill as you can see that the mat has a split in it from heavy boots kicking it. I am a long time e-bayer with 100% feedback and plan on keeping it that way. Any questions or concerns you have ask me now. I also have found the original rear wiper arm -- in one of the photos it shows it to be missing -- it has been found and put back on and it works come drive it -- it's awesome |

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?
Sat, Mar 26 2016High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news
Sat, Aug 8 2015Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.
