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.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

GM recalls 3.8 million vehicles in North America due to braking issue

Wed, Sep 11 2019

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co said Wednesday it was recalling 3.46 million U.S. pickup trucks and SUVs to address a vacuum pump issue that could make braking more difficult and that has been linked to 113 accidents and 13 injuries. The recall covers 2014-2018 model year vehicles, including some Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon vehicles. In late June, GM recalled 310,000 vehicles in Canada for the same issue. GM did not immediately explain why the Canadian recall occurred more than two months before it called back the vehicles in the United States. The recall was triggered because the amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time, GM told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in documents posted on Wednesday. The NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation into the issue last November, and said it had reports of nine related crashes and two injuries. It provided GM in July with additional field reports that prompted the automaker to open an investigation. GM said it could affect braking in "rare circumstances." The NHTSA said in a statement the "vehicles may experience brake boost failure, which would require increased brake pedal effort, leading to a hard brake pedal feel, and potentially increased stopping distance." GM said dealers will reprogram the electronic brake control module to improve how the system utilizes the hydraulic brake boost assist function when vacuum assist is depleted. GM said the vacuum assist pump, which is lubricated with engine oil that flows into the pump through a filter screen, can in some cases lose effectiveness over time, as debris such as oil sludge can accumulate on the filter screen. GM told NHTSA that prior model years used a different brake assist system design, and vehicles manufactured after 2018 were not equipped with the affected pump design. Separately, GM said on Wednesday it is recalling 270,000 additional U.S. vehicles in three smaller recalls, including 177,000 2018 Chevrolet Malibu cars with 1.5L turbo engines because an error in the engine control module software may result in the fuel injectors being disabled.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
