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

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here – to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.
