I have owned this truck since 6/22/2011, so just under 3 years. I have put about 48,000 miles on it in that time. It works great, looks unique & presentable, and I would drive it anywhere. I am selling due to not needing such a large vehicle anymore...we bought a bmw 325i to replace this.

$5000

This Trailblazer is a 2005, with 178,832 miles. This is an EXT...so it has the somewhat uncommon THIRD ROW SEATING. Has the 4.2 liter inline 6 cylinder Vortec. I have current tags on it and I did an emissions test back in november (i have the registration but can't find the emission printout--actually, the MVD may have taken it when I got the registration). No trouble codes, runs and drives perfect. 

There are a few MINOR issues:
1. The stepper motor on the tachometer and battery gauge are worn out and those two gauges frequently get stuck and do not read correctly. Speedometer, temperature, fuel level, oil pressure all work fine.
2. Few dings in the paint...but it looks pretty good...not like your typical Arizona car, the clear coat is there and it is shiny.  There are some rock chips on the front edge of the hood, headlights could use one of those resurfacing kits, and the truck could probably use a good washing and wax.  (The interior was just shampoo'd and steam cleaned).
3. I have the front bumper cover but it needs to be painted if you want to put it back on. I removed it so the aux lights could be mounted and to gain a little more nose clearance.
4. The air conditioning works & blows cold, but it is not extreme cold, I suspect it could use a recharge.

That's it, everything else works! Radio, cruise control, 4x4 hi/lo, AWD, all electric windows, front and rear wipers, all lights, the rear struts to hold up the tailgate, and the remote key fob...all of it is there and works like it should.

Also, some upgrades have been done to the truck:
* 3" suspension lift kit.
* 31" BFG Off road tires WITH full size matching spare
*Custom K&N cold air intake
*Custom Exhaust - Flowmaster 40 series 1 into 2, with custom done dual exhaust with one exit on each rear corner. This was shop done, not a hack job. The Flowmaster DOES add a little growl, so be aware (it is not obnoxious however).
*Truck has POWERLITE limited slip rear end.
*KC Off road lights, wired to the stock fog light dash switch.
*3 gauge pod mounted on a pillar (gauges are removed, but it is there and ready for you to put in whatever you want).
*New battery less than a year ago (Interstate Battery)
*New rear door lifts about 6 months ago.
*4 of the 6 ignition coil boots have been replaced with new.
*New exhaust manifold less than a year ago
*New brake pads and new front rotors about 1 year ago.
*New spark plugs 8 months ago.
*New serpentine belt 1 year ago.
*Probably a couple hundred dollars worth of towing balls/bars are included!

Title is in hand, regular/non-salvage, no liens.

Truck is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to void the auction should it sell locally.

$200 non-refundable deposit via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close.  The rest in CASH upon pickup.  Vehicle must be picked up within 10 days of auction close in Glendale, AZ 85308.  NO SHIPPING!!

Weekly Recap: Geneva's splendor reflects growing demand for ultra-luxury cars

Sat, Mar 7 2015

Geneva is one of the most glittering auto shows in the world, but the list of high-powered and bespoke luxury cars was decadent this year even by the rich standards of the Swiss exhibition. It's great for enthusiasts to revel in the flame-throwing Aston Martin Vulcan, the racing-inspired elegance of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept and the insane performance of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, but there's a reason for all of this opulence: the luxury market is big business. And it's growing. IHS Automotive forecasts that so-called ultra-premium sales will nearly triple this decade from 123,000 to 353,000 units around the world. The estimate includes brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, but doesn't count BMW, Mercedes and Audi, which offer less expensive models in addition to their high-end flagships. Though IHS includes Porsche and its relatively large volume in the study, the ultra-premium segment is still set grow at about the same rate, even without the German automaker's figures. So what is propelling all of this growth in the most expensive segment of the auto industry? Put simply, there's more rich people. IHS Automotive principal analyst Tim Urquhart pointed to economic expansion in China, market recovery in the United States and a surge in the lucrative technology sector as contributing factors. This dovetails with a research report by UK-based Oxfam, an international relief organization, which found the world's richest one-percent owned 48 percent of global wealth in 2014, and it's expected to increase to more than 50 percent by 2016. View 17 Photos Carmakers are moving quickly to capitalize with new products, expanding their portfolios with low-volume speedsters like the 800-hp V12 Vulcan at Geneva, and plans to enter new segments, like Rolls-Royce's strategy to make an SUV. "Ultra-premium carmakers are looking to explore ways of growing their product offerings, and thus their bottom lines, in this most potentially profitable of segments," Urquhart wrote in a report on the Geneva show. In a nutshell, there are more choices for people with more money. It's a good time to have expensive taste. Other News & Notes 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata production launches It won't be long now.

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance

Thu, Aug 7 2014

Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.

It won't be long now before Nissan Leaf finally overtakes Chevy Volt

Thu, Dec 25 2014

The two best-selling plug-in vehicles ever are the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. When the two vehicles launched in late 2010, the plug-in hybrid Volt quickly outpaced the all-electric Leaf and, despite lots of ups and downs since then, continues to hold on to a cumulative sales lead. This will change in 2015. Cumulatively, from November 2010 through November 2014, the Volt sold 71,867 units while the Leaf trails with 69,220. That's a difference of just 2,647. Based on current trends (with the Leaf selling around 2,500-2,700 a month and the Volt at 1,500-1,700) we expect the Leaf to take over either in January or, more likely, February when the Leaf takes over as the most popular plug-in car in America. Perhaps even March, depending on how low the numbers are for January and February, which are always slow sales months in the US. Of course, once it takes the crown, the Leaf can't expect to easily hold on for long. A new Volt is coming in the second half of 2015, likely beating a new Leaf to market. The question is, then, how well the Chevy sells with all of its new bells and whistles. Do you think the Volt will be the comeback kid once the 2016 model becomes available?
