Wow! This car is as clean as it gets !!! This is a 2000 GX Oldsmobile Alero that is in excellent condition. Here is a full explanation of this vehicle so please read closely! In July of 2011 I bought this car from the original owner ( an elderly neighbor) that only used this vehicle for Church and groceries.. When I bought the car, she was 94 and had just given up driving. The car was in excellent condition inside and out , it had 15,000 original miles on it. I had new brakes installed and bought a new battery for it. My wife drove the car to work only. Well a month later in late August, when my wife was traveling to work, she drove thru a large puddle of water and the car bogged down. I drove it to my local mechanic and he told me that there was water in the intake. He suggested I take it to another dealer since he did not do extensive engine work. I then took the car to Napeltons ( a very large dealer and mechanic). They determined that I needed a new motor in the car. So with that being said, on 9-13-11 I got the bill for $6702.67 and the car was like new again. I have attached the invoice so you can see the details for yourself. The engine came with a 3 year warranty and there is another 8 months left on it. We have been very happy with this car and my wife has driven 20 miles per day to work and back. We have had no issues with the car and I would truly be confident to sell this vehicle to my best friend. You are welcome to come and test drive this car before you bid, or even take it to a local mechanic for a complete inspection. In all honesty there are two minor issues with this car right now. One is that the rear defrost isn't working (maybe just a fuse but I haven't checked it out). Secondly, since we've had the car I've had to fill the AC with Freon annually. I think there is a slow leak somewhere but haven't had it looked at. The tires and battery are excellent and the interior is like new. The body is free of rust, dents or repairs. There are a few very minor dings here and there and there is a very small portion of paint flaking off of the front bumper. Currently the odometer reads 28700 which is the actual miles on the car but the motor only has 12000 miles on it. The only reason were selling this car is due to the fact that I surprised my wife with a SUV for Christmas this year and we do not need three vehicles. For serious inquiries or if you want to schedule a time to see the car please give me a call Dan 1-847-858-9328. We are located in Mt. Prospect Illinois just 17 miles west of Chicago. |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
