Don't let the mileage scare you away.  It runs and drives great!  The automatic transmission was rebuilt within the last 5,000 miles by a transmission shop (I didn't just put in a junk yard tranny, they actually rebuilt it and replaced the junk GM part that constantly fails with a high quality after market one).  The engine runs without any problems and there are no check engine lights on.  The previous owner says he replaced the engine with one that had 60,000 miles on it around 140,000 so according to them the engine has around 110,000 miles on it (but I don't have any documentation for that).  Either way, I would trust the engine to go cross country right now without any concerns or worries.  I use it as a back up vehicle for work and my normal daily commute is about 2-3 hours each way.  In the last month I've put about 800 miles on it and I'm not afraid to take it on the long trips.  That being said, the mileage may be a little higher once you come to pick it up because I do drive it once every week or two while I put my van in the shop for an oil change or brakes or whatever (like I said, I average about 1,500 miles per week so my van has to go in on a regular basis).  The oil was changed on the Avalanche about 600 miles ago and I always have them use good oil and the lucas additive.  The radio and cd player work fine.  The power windows work but the front passenger side window is slow going up and one time it actually got stuck half up so I don't use it any more (but it's not a problem because the ac blows cold and the heat blows hot).  There is a crack in the driver's side mirror but you can still see out of it fine and it's not so bad that it's trying to fall off or anything like that.  There are two small chips in the windshield that are both smaller than a dime.  They are both on the passenger side so they don't affect the inspection or the driver's view.  The cruise control stopped working but it does have it.  I haven't looked into it so I don't know if it's just a fuse or what it is (I'm not a mechanic so I don't know how to trouble shoot it and I don't drive it often enough to justify paying a mechanic to look at it).  The tires are in okay condition but will probably need to be replaced in the next 10-15,000 miles or so.  The body is probably an 8 out of 10.  The plastic moulding has a couple small bumps and bruises (as you can see in the picture but are in pretty good shape over all).  The only spot of rust I have seen is on the passenger rear wheel well (You can see it in the picture).  It is just starting to come out.  As long as you fix it before next winter it won't be a problem at all.  I would sand it down and spray paint it myself but the color matched paints from the auto parts store are never quite right so I would take it to an actual pain shop and pay the $100 to have them do it with the right paints (just my opinion).  There are no rips or tears in the seats.  The dash is in great shape.  It goes in and out of four wheel drive with the push of a button.  I only have smaller trailers (5'x8') but the Avalanche is rated to pull 8,100 pounds.  Over all this is a great running vehicle and since I'm listing it as a no reserve auction it's up to you how much you want to pay for it.  According to the websites it's worth close to $6-8k but I'm not greedy and I know it has higher miles.  If you're interested in a buy it now price email me an offer and if I like it I'll add the buy it now price to the auction for you (but be realistic, I'm not going to accept $2500 or anything close to it, just the transmission was $1600).

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
