1996 GMC Safari SLE

I am the second owner and have had this Safari Van for over 5 years. It has been a great vehicle for me. It is in good running condition, is reliable.  All the warning lights on the dash are clear. I recently put on all new brakes and an emergency brake cable, plus 2 new matching Kumho Solus tires on the rear. The front tires are good. The engine runs great and the tranny shifts smooth. I am a car guy and personally changed the motor oil often and have had the tranny serviced twice. I do this to insure smooth and long lasting operation on all my vehicles. It has a fairly new Sears Diehard Gold 100 battery. The 120,000 miles are low for the vehicle. 

The SLE model is a top model and has adjustable lumbar support on the driver and passenger seats which are power. Cruise control, intermittent wipers. Rear A/C and Heat. Premium sound. It has 1 Captain’s Chair in the 2nd row and the 3rd row seat folds down for extra loading. All the rear seats are easily removable if you need gigantic cargo space. It has a roof console with reading lights, storage, thermometer and compass. It has tinted rear and side windows, which open. The roof rack and tow hitch are included, to make it extra handy.

The body looks pretty good. It does have 1 place on the passenger door where it was hit and is pressed in. This doesn’t affect the function of the door in any way. There are a couple of small dents and some scratches but no rust holes. The floor is solid. I have touched up the chips from time to time with the correct color paint. The interior is pretty good also with some slight wear. There are no cracks in the driver seat. The door panels are nice.

Functionally, the automatic door locks don’t work. I use the buttons to lock and the key to unlock the doors. It could be a simple fix, I don’t know. They have worked recently. Also the A/C does not work, I never checked why. The spare tire is not good.

Overall a great vehicle for hauling people or stuff. It has no issues. Buy and drive. I think you could fly here and drive it home to anywhere. I’ll pick you up at the airport. 
I am making NO guarantees, it is being sold as is.

It is being auctioned with a low reserve. The buyer pays shipping. I can assist with the pickup on my end. 
This vehicle is being advertised locally and could be sold at any time.

You are welcome to view, inspect and drive the Safari Van located in central CT. Contact me.

WI dealer under fire for selling new GMC to dying, blind 89-year-old WWII vet [w/video]

Thu, 14 Mar 2013


You know, people, getting through this life from one end to the other in one piece really does require just one rule: don't be a prick. If you ever find yourself in a situation of dubious moral standing, take a step back and ask yourself, "Am I being a prick to any person or thing?" If the answer is "yes," then stop what you're doing, apologize and go home. One dealership in Wisconsin could possibly have benefitted from that course of action when it reportedly helped David McMurray con his elderly and disabled parents into buying a brand-new $42,000 GMC Terrain for his use.
According to local news reports, a representative from Palmen Motors visited Harold and Christen Thomsen's home to collect signatures for a loan agreement three weeks before the 89-year-old, legally blind Harold passed away. The World War II veteran was on morphine and in hospice when he signed for the GMC, and his 90-year-old wife suffers from dementia. Even so, upon being discovered, the dealer initially said everything was done "legally." According to Barb Tinkler, McMurray's sister, the sale was a scam that remained hidden until he was busted for an unrelated criminal charge.

GM recalling 54k Cadillac SRX, HD pickup models

Thu, 01 May 2014

There are more recalls to report General Motors, but these latest actions pertain to newer examples of the Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. With so much scrutiny on the company's recall strategy, GM is under increasing pressure to call in defective models more quickly, and it appears to be doing so here.
Here in the US, the automaker is recalling 50,571 Cadillac SRX crossovers from the 2013 model year fitted with the 3.6-liter V6 because the transmission control module programming can cause a three- or four-second lag in acceleration at low speeds. The explanation filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "if the following sequence occurs within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (8-10 mph), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 5 mph, and then accelerates again," the delay can occur. According to Automotive News, the recall effects 56,400 vehicles worldwide, and the company is not aware of any crashes caused by the problem. The fix consists of a transmission control module (TCM) reflash.
In a separate recall, GM is repairing 51 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from the 2015 model year in the US. In vehicles with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, the nuts that connect the fuel pipe to each side of the transfer pump between the tanks may be improperly torqued, which could cause a fuel leak. Obviously, this could be a fire hazard. The remedy is simply tightening the hardware. According to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, there have been no fires actually caused by the potential leak. "Only 21 of the trucks are in customer possession and they can be fixed anytime because there are no parts involved. The others are being fixed at dealerships," Adler said in an email to Autoblog.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
