Up for auction is a well-cared for Chevy Astro. This Astro Van has the perfect set up for Road Trips, Tail Gate Partying, and Work. Fact is that Engine Oil is the life blood of your vehicle’s engine and I always changed it every 3 months or 3000 miles (usually every 3 months). I drive daily about 10 miles to and from work and school. And on the weekends I rarely go over 25 miles. I got this Astro in 2009 and I have done plenty of work to it which I have listed. I will also be including in the auction all the original working parts I removed,  and extra parts I haven’t had the chance to replace. All parts replaced were new except for the hydraulic brake booster. I had many more plans for this Astro but unfortunately my situation has changed and I no longer have the space or funds to keep it. I live in the Bronx but the van is currently at my in-laws house in Wyandanch NY, L.I.E. off exit 51.

The Good = Religiously changed the oil and oil filter, Transmission filter and fluid, Preformed a FULL Tune up, REPLACED the water pump, thermostat, upper and lower hoses, heater control valve, thermostatic fan clutch, tensioner pulley, idler pulleys, alternator, drive belt, vacuum hoses, The ENTIRE ac system (compressor, evaporator, condenser, expansion valve) front shocks, rear shocks (replaced with air shocks controlled by an air valve under rear bumper) all steering linkages, Hydraulic brake booster (used), Master cylinder, Repaired spare tire mount and winch cable mechanism, Repaired oil fill tube and mount, within the past year I have REPLACED, Front wheel bearings, front rotors, and brake pads, rear drums with all hardware and mechanisms and brake shoes, Flushed and bled entire brake system, egr valve, catalytic converter, muffler and pipe.

The Not so Good = The paint (obviously from the pictures the hood and front fenders need help). A small oil leak (not a drip but when I change the oil there is some residue around the pan). The transmission slips a little when cold but once it warms up its good to go. A small exhaust leak (muffler shop would not warranty its work, small opening before cat). The ball joints clunk (ALL ball joints are included in the auction!). The driver window sticks every once in a while (just wait 15 seconds). Worn Idler control arm (causes front end vibration at 70-75mph stops at 80pmh).

The Extras!!! = New tires with less than 1,000 miles! (New valve stems and balancing). New extra fifth tire, Aftermarket alarm, Air Horns (also connected to alarm when triggered). K&N air filter, Yellow top optima battery, JVC detachable face cd radio receiver with front usb port, ipod interface and remote control. 1000 watt Audiopipe amp, Premium Scosche wire kit, Scosche farad 500k capacitor. 2 MTX 12” Bass box (woofers are beat up bad but still thump hard). 2000 continuous / 4000 peak watt power inverter wired independently from vehicle wiring system to prevent damage (using optima battery separate terminals). Custom made console/shelves to house inverter, amp, amp remote and capacitor. Used H.I.D kit removed from a Saturn View the same light set up High Low Beam 9005, 9006 (not installed). Heavy duty leaf springs (not installed). Upper, Lower, Left and Right ball joints (not installed). Extra lug nut covers (tend to disappear a lot). Extra Dash trim blank (original was drilled through for alarm warning light). New in box extra-long wide angled rearview mirror. New in box L.E.D. amp power fuses (x4). Factory radio and key fob and 4 keys 2 aftermarket fobs. Haynes repair manual, Class 3 hitch with wiring kit (only used once, I jumped the gun when I was offered a free boat and trailer but the offer fell through horribly).

For the drive home a FULL Tank of gas ($100 value) Fresh Oil and Oil Filter changed at exactly 254,433 miles, and Brand New Front and Rear Anco Wiper Blades!!!

Good Luck Bidding and please serious buyers only text me at 646-734-7386 with any questions you may have. Thank You.

This vehicle is being SOLD AS IS, Even though this Astro Van has been cared for and maintained it does have 254,478 miles on it and other problems that I am not aware of can still arise with driver abuse and regular wear and tear.

2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery

Thu, May 15 2014

As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

Here's the production Chevy Bolt

Tue, Dec 1 2015

"It looks like a Volt had an evening of regrets with an i3." That's AutoblogGreen editor-in-chief Sebastian Blanco talking about the car you see here, the 2017 Chevy Bolt. Our trusty spy photographers caught the new Bolt EV fully uncovered at a photo shoot, ahead of its official debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. To say the styling looks familiar would be an understatement. There's a lot of Volt elements here, and the nod to the BMW i3 is definitely valid. It's not unattractive, it's just sort of, well, there. Never mind, the Bolt will have a lot going for it when it launches, should earlier rumors come to fruition. The hatchback is expected to have a 200-mile electric range, and should cost right around $30,000 after incentives. The Bolt will be built in Michigan, and will likely arrive at dealers in early 2017. Chevy knows this one's going to be huge, and the company is fully committed to launching and marketing the Bolt the right way. We'll have the full details in January at CES. For now, feast your eyes on His Boltness in the gallery above. Let us know what you think about it, in the Comments.
