1994 Geo Metro Xfi With Air Conditioning No Reserve on 2040-cars
Sparks, Nevada, United States
|
I bought a new car and now I'm selling my beloved Geo Metro xfi. I drove a Metro because I wanted to. I could afford to fix anything that ever went wrong with the car and I enjoyed working on it, so it is ready to drive anywhere. I would trust it to drive to Alaska right now. It averages 48mpg in town and 52mpg on road trips. I drive slow but no hypermiling. No Rust. Car has 238k miles. I rebuilt the engine at 201k in December 2011. I did a good job on it (machine shop 0.020" over bore, new pistons, rings, bearings, new oil pump, studied forum posts before rebuilding). I have extensive prior mechanical experience and I am careful. It has given zero problems in the 37k miles since the rebuild. It gets Mobil 1 oil and doesn't burn or leak anything. It does have xfi cam. Pistons have standard rings since they were new oversize pistons. A/C installed by me with parts from a donor car. New filter/drier and O-rings. Super cold and never a problem with it in 3 years. Of course it affects performance and mpg but it's nice to have when you need it. Transmission is a 4.10 ratio, not 3.79. Synchromesh oil. Shifts perfectly into and out of all gears. New clutch and clutch cable at 201k. All wheel bearings new within 3 years. All brakes are good. Calipers and rotors replaced recently. Brakes work perfect and no strange noises or vibrations. CV joints good. All windows roll up and down. All door latches work like they should. All door locks work. Rear hatch stays up by itself. Professionally tinted windows with 3M film. Ultra capacitor/12ah SLA hybrid battery. Starts right up hot or cold. Easy to replace with normal heavy lead acid car battery if you don't like it. CD/MP3 Stereo with aftermarket speakers. USB and AUX inputs. The only issue with the car is sometimes in the winter I smell a coolant smell from the heater. It doesn't consume coolant but I assume there is a slight wet area on the heater core. It's been like that for 3 years and never got worse. Windshield wiper control lever is not original but it works. Fly to Reno, stay the night at my house, drive it home the next day. I live right next to I-80. Where else are you going to find a rust free xfi with A/C? Call me with any questions: 775-412-2596 |

2018 GMC Acadia with 'Christmas Aero' modification gets in the wind tunnel
Sat, Dec 16 2017Tis the season of "Big" - big cheer, big parties, big bowls of eggnog, big decorations, and when it comes to your family hauler, big drag. Festive drivers who festoon their crossovers, minivans, and SUVs with wreaths, Rudolph noses, fuzzy antlers, and rooftop Christmas trees undo the years of work that car engineers devote to fractional gains in fuel economy. To put numbers to such fuel-guzzling madness, GMC started with a 2018 Acadia, optioned it with the Xmas Aero Package - both Standard and Plus versions - put it in Lockheed-Martin's wind tunnel. The resulting dip in fuel economy results probably won't surprise anyone who's used a roof rack - or, for that matter, their car's air conditioning. However, it might surprise you to find out which seemingly substantial decoration had no effect, and which seemingly innocuous decoration was about twice as bad as running the A/C on its Mr. Freeze setting. Check out the brief video above for the results. And consider placement of that bow carefully.
2014 Chevy Silverado details continue to dribble out
Wed, 03 Apr 2013PickupTrucks.com has gotten its hands on a few more details concerning the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and the 2014 GMC Sierra. General Motors held a conference call on the two trucks, allowing Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for both, to answer a few questions. Luke said truck buyers are largely concerned with power and fuel economy, and as such, GM will continue to explore new methods of providing both. That may translate into any number of drivetrain permutations, including light-duty diesel engines, eight-speed transmissions or even a twin-turbocharged V6.
What's more, both the 2014 Silverado and its GMC twin will boast a tow rating of 11,500 pounds, but only when equipped with a max-trailering package. Without that special package, the rating drops to 10,200 lbs for regular cabs and 9,700 lbs for crew cabs. Buyers will no longer be able to opt for a 4.10 gear ratio.
We're also excited to hear that GM plans on making the Z71 package into something more than just a few a stickers. While Luke didn't go into details, PickupTrucks.com says "it will get significant improvements in the future." Head over to the site for a quick rundown of the call's highlights.
2015 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon unveiled
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has today unveiled its new family of fullsize SUVs, including the 2015 Chevy Tahoe, its longer Suburban sibling, and their GMC Yukon, Yukon XL and Yukon Denali cousins. More efficient powertrains, improved aerodynamics, increased connectivity and better overall refinement are what Chevy and GMC say will separate their new SUVs from the current generation.
Sporting a tried-and-true body-on-frame architecture, these full-size SUVs feature platforms that are stronger and offer a wider rear track for "a more planted stance," according to Chevy and GMC. Mounted at the front of each SUV is an EcoTec3 powertrain, which consists of a standard 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter V8 (or a 420-hp, 6.2-liter V8 for the GMC Yukon Denali alone) with direct injection, cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing, that's paired with a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. The setup is said to be more efficient than before, though official EPA fuel economies for each vehicle are not yet available. To help the powertrain achieve the best possible fuel economy in these 5,000+ pound SUVs, the new styling was developed with aerodynamics in mind. For the same reason, electric power steering also makes its debut in the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon family.
The front fascias of the Chevy Suburban/Tahoe and GMC Yukon are distinct, but from the base of the A-pillars back, they share most of the same styling cues. This now includes inlaid doors that tuck into the door sills, instead of over them, which improves aerodynamics and fuel economy, and lessens interior noise. The hoods and liftgate panels now are made of aluminum in an effort to reduce vehicle weight. Chevy and GMC also tout that the Tahoe/Suburban and Yukon don't share a single piece of sheetmetal or lighting element with the brands' full-size pick-up trucks.
