Summary

I purchased this vehicle in 2004 from Westwind Limousines for $103,500. The builder was Murgel Limousines in Missouri. I am the only owner of the vehicle and have owned it since it was purchased in 2004. The title is free & clear. Throughout it's ~65,000 mile journey, it's been used for ~350 rentals. A vast majority of these miles were highway miles traveling from Dayton OH to both Cincinnati and Columbus. A significant amount of extra money was dumped into this vehicle as it was purchased, for upgrades to the stereo & chrome exterior pieces. In total, around ~$15,000.

Stereo System 
The stereo system has a Kenwood KDC-X895 Head Unit which allows iPods / iPhones / Androids to be hooked up. We have an Alpine bass amp that pushes 550W RMS to two 12" subwoofers located in the trunk. There's an additional 600W Pioneer Premier Amp for the other speakers. Needless to say, it's absolute overkill...but the customers LOVE it all.

Chrome Upgrades
We have 22" chrome wheels all around. New tires were just installed last year so those will have plenty of miles left on them. Rather than list out all of the chrome upgrades, it's probably best to just check out the pictures in this listing or on the website.

Turnkey: Website + Company
This was initially purchased for recreation. After the novelty wore off, I turned it into a rental business. If you purchase this vehicle, you also get the entire company. This consists of the customer list (~350), website, marketing materials, branded promotional materials, existing marketing setups (Google Adwords, Bing, Limos.com, LimoPros.com), toll free number, Google Voice / email / voice setup, and much more. As of now, the business is 99% hands off for me. I have someone that takes care of answering the phones / emails and booking rentals for a fee. That person is more than happy to transfer over under new ownership. I have full financials available for the past and what I think this is able to do moving forward. If you'd like this information, let me know.

Certified / Licensed
It's been a pain...but I am certified and licensed with every government agency that's needed, including FMCSA, PUCO and OHDOT. I have an MC number and USDOT #.

Reason for Selling
I have other businesses I'd like to focus on. Even without giving this much attention, it makes money. That's paying the driver a % of each rental and the scheduling staff a % of each rental. I've neglected this business for quite some time, yet it still makes money. With the appropriate attention and focus, this can be an easy, and big money maker.

Condition
The only known issues are with the chrome wheels. Naturally, the rocks & gravel from roads have kicked up and dinged them a bit. The center caps are peeling a bit but I'm pretty sure those are only ~$100 total to replace. Everything else on the vehicle is in perfect working condition. It's one of my vices...but I've given this thing too much love and attention on repairs. Every single time something has acted up, it's been fixed. I could have certainly put some things off and made more money...but I'm a strong believer that vehicles should be kept in tip top shape. This limo was no exception.

History
As a full disclosure, this vehicle was involved in a few accidents. Insurance covered everything and all damages were fixed beautifully. I have yet to see a single issue, cosmetically or mechanically, from any of the previous incidents.

14 Passengers
The vehicle is rated for 14 passengers (plus the driver). If you own/operate vehicles like this, you know the benefits of that. There are a lot less restrictions on the drivers and government hoops you have to jump through. Insurance rates are also a lot less.

Features
If you're looking to buy a vehicle like this, you already know the basics. I'll mention everything that sets this apart from the others:
- Chrome upgrades
- Fiber optic lighting throught the vehicle (I can send night pictures of this upon request - it's cool as hell!)
- Infinity mirror on ceiling of interior (very cool also)
- 22" wheels
- Killer stereo
- Two TV's with DVD player; audio plays through stereo
- Bluetooth head unit allows calls to be made through the stereo / speakers
- Phone up front and back for passengers to talk to driver
- Powered partition between driver and passengers
- Oil changes every 3000 miles; full synthetic
- Very, very well taken care of and maintained
- Mostly highway miles
- You not only get the vehicle, you get a business that'll immediately turn a profit for you.
- Free & clear title

Questions? Ask Me!
I've done my best to mention everything here I can think of. If you need any information or require any additional pictures, let me know!

GMC Hummer EV First Drive Review | True supertruck, for better and for worse

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Right from the start, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV has been advertised with superlatives, mostly in reference to its specifications. GMC has even called it a "supertruck" in its own materials. And while we've received a taste of the truck before, only now have we finally got our hands on the production-spec model, and had the opportunity to drive it both off-road and on the street. What we've found is that the Hummer EV is undoubtedly a supertruck, much the same way that a Ferrari or a Lamborghini is a supercar. It totally delivers on its incredible capabilities, but there are compromises. And they're worth being aware of before plunking down the more than $100,000 a first-year Hummer will run you. That six-figure truck is the version we tested, the Edition 1, which actually rings in at $112,595. It's the only version in production for now, with lower trims coming in the next couple years. It's sold out, but many of the features will be available on the next highest trim level, the EV 3X. Among those features are the three motors, torque vectoring, “Watts To Freedom” launch mode, four-wheel steering, removable glass roof panels, 35-inch tires, Super Cruise, power rear window and MultiPro tailgate. In other words, although you can literally no longer order an Edition 1, you can still order a Hummer EV with nearly the same specification. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. We'll start where most owners probably will: mashing the throttle. No one can resist seeing what 1,000 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque will feel like. It's even a tad more torque in Watts To Freedom mode, which preemptively runs the cooling system to enable the additional twist. That mode allows the Hummer to hit 60 mph in 3 seconds, and the drama is dialed up with visual, audible and haptic cues. But even without engaging launch mode, the Hummer EV impresses and delights with its acceleration. In addition to pinning you to the seat, the entire truck squats in an exaggerated fashion. It's absurd, especially considering the truck's curb weight that surpasses a truly astounding 9,000 pounds. ThatÂ’s several hundred pounds more than the heaviest GMC Sierra HD 3500 diesel dually. Of course, that weight, as well as the nature of electric motors, means the party starts to calm down as the speed increases. The weight is noticeable in other areas, too.

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Hummer H3 SUV

Sat, Apr 27 2024

After General Motors bought the rights to the Hummer brand from AM General in 1999, it continued to sell the civilianized versions of the military HMMWV that was made famous after appearing in the heavily televised Operation Desert Storm. The Hummer H1 (as it became known) never sold in large numbers, but The General decided to make everyman Hummers based on existing GM truck platforms. The Silverado-based H2 came first, debuting as a 2003 model, followed by the Colorado-based H3 as a 2006 model. Here's one of those first-year H3s, found in a Denver self-service car graveyard recently. Now it's time for some Hummer brand history. After the American Motors Corporation bought Kaiser Jeep in 1970, it spun off the fleet and military parts of that operation into a new company called AM General. The best-known AM General products for many years were the Jeep DJ Dispatchers, generally called "Mail Jeeps," and they were sold all the way through 1984. 1984 was also the year that the United States Army put the first AM General-built High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV, which soldiers pronounced "Humvee" at first but eventually adopted the "Hummer" nickname). Around the same time, militarized VW-powered sand rails were being purchased from Chenowth by Uncle Sam. After Arnold Schwarzenegger convinced AM General to build civilianized Hummers, sales of the not-so-civilized brute that became the H1 began in 1992. The H2 and H3 had the misfortune to be launched just before the Great Recession hit and fuel prices went crazy, while a couple of overseas conflicts that were much less popular than Gulf War I made grim headlines and reduced the street appeal of combat-inspired civilian wheels. The H1 got the axe in 2006; GM tried and failed to sell the Hummer brand to a Chinese manufacturer in 2010, as it struggled through Chapter 11 bankruptcy, finally giving up and killing the brand alongside Pontiac, Saturn and Saab. Then the Hummer name was revived in 2022 as an electron-fueled GMC model, and you can buy a 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV right now (though GMC's website warns of "LIMITED AVAILABILITY" in big red letters, so you might have a hard time actually taking delivery of one). The final 2010 H3s were built for Avis at Shreveport Operations, which itself shut down two years later.

IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving

Tue, Oct 11 2022

WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
