Up for auction is a bank owned, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS with 143,400 + miles. The car was purchased new by the bank and driven daily by our CFO who turned the car in approximately 1 year ago. Since then, it has been used by the bank as our courier vehicle. The vehicle has been properly maintained and has just recently been professionally detailed inside and out and had the oil changed. The car has never been in an accident. Below is a summary of each area of the car:

 

Exterior: The car is a silver metallic color with no visible body damage. The paint overall is in good condition; however, the hood does show some minor signs of wear and fading. The car does have a few small knicks and/or scratches but this is to be expected with a 2006 model. The car has aftermarket step up bars and window visors installed. Headlights are not cracked but are a little foggy. All windows are intact with no cracks visible. The wheels are in good condition; however, the tires will probably need replaced within the new few thousand miles. I am guessing the front end is out of alignment because the front tires have an abnormal wear pattern.

 

Interior: The interior is grey cloth and is in good condition with no staining, holes or tears in the seats or carpet. The car was never smoked in. The headliner is in OK condition, no holes but there are a few very small stains above the driver’s seat (maybe a coffee splatter). All of the trim is intact. The dash is not cracked. There are 2 hairline cracks on the clear plastic piece that covers the speedometer area. The cargo area is clean and the jack and spare tire are in place. The radio and CD player work. All power options work as they should.

 

Mechanical: The car has been a daily driver and still drives fine. No unusual noises or movements are noticed while driving. As mentioned, it has been properly maintained with the oil changed every 3k miles, transmission serviced at the proper intervals, etc. The transmission shifts smooth with no noticeable problems. Only one key and one remote is available. The “Check Engine Light” is on. We have had this diagnosed by a local ASE Certified mechanic and are told that the codes the computer is sending are as follows:

 

P0128: This is related to the thermostat. We are told that it has something to do with the idle temperature.

 

P0456: This is related to the evaporation system. We are told that there is most likely a small leak one of the lines that cycles the fumes from the fuel.

 

The mechanic stated that neither issue would impact the drivability of the vehicle and that it was not necessary to fix either problem. He further estimated that to fix both items, the cost would be approximately $515. The bank will not pay for these items to be repaired.

Overall, this vehicle would make someone a good daily driver. Keep in mind that I am a banker, not a mechanic and the opinions stated are my own, not the banks. The vehicle is being sold as it with no warranty either expressed or implied. I encourage any potential bidder to inspect the vehicle prior to bidding. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. If you would like a photo of a particular item or area of the car, please ask. I can be reached between 8:30am – 7:00pm EST at 706-270-4752 or via email at brad.ramsey@fnbcga.com. Winning bidder will be responsible for any taxes or fees associated with transferring title. The winning bidder will receive a clear Georgia title as well as a bill of sale. Payment via cash or certified check. The vehicle must be picked up within 7 days unless prior arrangement is made. Thanks for looking and good luck.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%

Sat, Jun 13 2015

General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt CarPlay video, Tesla Supercharger importance

Fri, Feb 5 2016

A video demonstrates Apple CarPlay on the touch display in the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. The Volt's eight-inch (bigger than an iPad Mini) capacitive display is capable of putting Siri and your iPhone apps and right at your fingertips. It's "the best CarPlay display I've seen," says the user in the video. In case you're not in the market for a new Volt, 9to5Mac offers some of its favorite aftermarket CarPlay screens. See the video above, and read more at 9to5Mac. A single Supercharger can make a big difference in the life of a Tesla owner. Teslarati's Electric Jen talks about purchasing a Model S, being assured by both Tesla employees and the map of planned Supercharger sites that one would be built along an important route for her. With the construction being pushed back, it made visiting family tricky. "As if owning such a grand car isn't embarrassing enough, asking for a ride to drop off and pick up said car because you can't make it home without charging really made me feel awkward," she says. "You see, one single charging location can mean the world to some people," Jen adds. Read the whole article at Teslarati. Tesla once had considered creating mobile range extender trailers for the Model S. Elon Musk touched upon the abandoned idea during his visit to Paris. While Tesla ultimately dismissed the concept, Nomadic Power has taken the opportunity to hitch their product onto the Tesla brand. "We are delighted, that Tesla Motors' CEO Elon Musk is thinking about a concept like ours for even more extending the range of the Tesla models," says Nomadic Power's CEO Manfred Baumgaertner. He adds, "This confirms our approach to build a long distance mobility provider for all electric vehicles on the market." If you say so, Baumgaertner.

When the batteries have degraded to the point that they're no longer suitable for use on the road, they still have a significant capacity that can be used for other purposes. Still useful for stationary storage, they can be used to support charging sites in order to allow for faster charging. The stationary batteries can charge slowly at the site, but then offer up the juice in a hurry when it's needed for a vehicle. Read more from Renault.
