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.

Best Convertibles for 2022

Thu, Jun 30 2022

The past decade has not been kind to the drop-top enthusiast. No matter which dealer you walk into, convertible models have been biting the dust left and right. Nissan Z? Audi TT? Buick Cascada? Volkswagen Eos? All gone. Remember the humble Chrysler Sebring/200? Well, you do now. Fortunately, though, the news isn't all bad. There are still plenty of options out there for those who absolutely must have a convertible. Whether you need something to haul behind your retirement cruiser, a performance car that can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world or just something that allows you to sling the roof back after a long day of on-location business meetings before catching the flight back to your everyday hustle and bustle, there's at least one cabriolet out there to suit your needs. Here are our picks and starting prices for the top convertibles in several categories for 2022.  For the frugal open-top lover: 2022 Mini Convertible ($34,650) Let's face it; gas ain't cheap. But open-top motoring doesn't need to be a wallet killer. The Mini is cheap (at least by 2022 standards) and an absolute joy to drive, so there's really no downside here ... except for the roof. Get it?    For the hardtop lover: 2022 Mazda MX-5 RF ($37,260) / 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible ($69,695) The number of hardtop convertibles has seriously dwindled due to weight concerns and the fact that fabric roofs have gotten so quiet, but there are still some options for those who prefer a more coupe-like look with the roof up. Our picks here are the delightfully Targa-like MX-5 Miata RF and literally any Corvette Stingray — even the hardtop has a removable roof!    For long road trips: 2022 Ford Mustang Convertible ($34,100) The first image that comes to mind for many who are told to visualize an American convertible is the classic Ford Mustang. It's not the only drop-top pony car out there, but thanks to the Camaro's tiny trunk, it's much harder to see the USA in a Chevrolet when a drop-top enters the equation. The Mustang has much more cargo space and a much larger opening, which is likely the difference between keeping your bags under lock and key or leaving them exposed in the back seat.    For towing behind an RV: 2022 Jeep Wrangler ($31,590) While many small runabouts make sense for towing behind a motor home (or nestled up inside a fancier one), the Wrangler has a serious advantage when it comes to RVing: it can easily be flat-towed.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Quick Spin [w/video]

Tue, Dec 1 2015

The Silverado 1500 gets what most would consider an early update for 2016. Just two years into this generation, the half-ton Chevy truck has been given a visual overhaul and a handful of feature upgrades. Chevy reps say they didn't wait the usual three years for a refresh because they knew the domestic competitors were planning updates of their own for 2015. We're told the fast refresh was always in the plans, and that it wasn't a response to critics (like us) saying "meh" to the new truck's design, which some felt hewed too close to the GMT900s that came before. If a Ford grille that reaches halfway into the headlights is good, a Chevy grille that cuts the units clean in two must be better. That's at least how we imagine the designers' thought process went. Those new split lights use HID projectors on lower models and full-LED tech on the upper trims, with all versions getting LED daytime running lights. LED taillights are also included on the fancier models. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Each of the eight trim levels has its own look, and the differentiation goes beyond the placement of chrome and the color of cladding. Look closely and you'll see that elements of the various grille treatments are repeated within the headlights. It's a neat touch, and proof that attention to detail is still a thing. Chevy also reshaped the hood, with sharp lines and pockets that look like they'll do a great job of collecting snow come winter. We get why a Corvette has troughs in its hood (you know where the wheels are and see through the valley to the road) but the surfacing on the Silverado's engine hat has only aesthetic benefits. On the feature front, almost all 2016 Silverado models get standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support; the 7.0-inch screen includes both, while the available 8.0-inch screen will add Android Auto through an update in March of 2016. The top High Country trim gets new power-articulating side steps as an option. In addition to swinging down to help you hoist yourself in through the door, the steps have a button at the rear that, when pressed, motors them down and rearward to give you a foothold at the front of the bed. Chevy also catches up to the competition with an available remote-locking tailgate. Chevy also gets further into the competitive numbers game for 2016 with expanded use of its eight-speed truck transmission.

IIHS gives good ratings to 4 of 8 midsize pickups in crash test

Wed, Sep 6 2017

Versions of the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab earned top ratings in a new crash test of midsize pickup trucks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while two versions of the Nissan Frontier earned marginal ratings. But the organization gave poor marks to all eight pickups tested for their dim headlights. Overall, four of the eight pickups evaluated earned good ratings for protecting occupants in all five crash test categories — the Tacoma double cab along with crew cab versions of the Colorado, Canyon and Tacoma. But the poor headlights and lack of an automatic emergency braking system blocked any of the pickups from qualifying for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick awards. The study looked at two pickup body styles using 2017 models: crew cabs, which have four full doors and two full rows of seating, and extended cabs, which have two full front doors, two smaller rear doors and compact second-row seats. It subjected each to five tests, and it evaluated the performance of front crash prevention systems and headlights. The Toyota Tacoma crew cab was the only pickup in that class that earned a good rating for structure in the small overlap test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle clips a tree, pole or another vehicle that has crossed the center line. The model's Access Cab extended-cab version was rated similarly, though its structure was rated acceptable. "This group of small pickups performed better in the small overlap front test than many of their larger pickup cousins," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer. "The exception was the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't had a structural redesign since the 2005 model year." The extended-cab versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon earned acceptable ratings, while both the Nissan Frontier king-cab and crew-cab models were rated marginal. Toyota says its 2018 Tacoma will feature upgraded headlights and a standard autobraking system that can detect pedestrians. "Headlights are basic but vital safety equipment. Drivers shouldn't have to give up the ability to see the road at night when they choose a small pickup," Zuby said.
