This Chevy Cavalier is in fair condition and runs.  Could be a good weekend car for a student or high-schooler.  I've had this car since I was 16, so it hasn't changed hands at all in the last seven years.  Realistically, although I hope this car goes to a good home, I realize that sometimes Cavaliers are sought after for parts as well.  I'm selling the car because I'm moving across the country and won't need it anymore.  


The Kelly Blue Book value on a vehicle in this condition is $939.  Fair condition includes a couple minor issues this Cavalier has: there is a slow oil leak, but the vehicle has NOT been treated with coagulants (as we know some owners prefer not to use them) which may solve the issue.  The third brake light (the one in the middle) has a short in it, but this is not one of the brake lights that is legally required to function in order for the car to be driven (all the lights that are required to function work just fine).  The frame is rusted  (in addition to some cosmetic rust damage) and there are several dents.   We don't know if the car will pass emissions, as Indiana does not require us to do that.  The ignition has never failed to come on so far, but it sometimes requires two or three turns of the key.  In addition to the rust on the frame, there is some rust on the underbody as well.   The car is being sold as-is with no guarantees, but has been driven 100 miles from Indianapolis to St. Louis several times this year with no problems.   

All that having been said, the car runs and will get you from A to B.  

The car was purchased from Crown Auto Brokers in 2004.  I purchased it from that buyer in 2006.  
The radiator and radiator hoses were replaced with more durable metal parts in 2007.  
The alternator was replaced in 2011.  
The car passed a safety inspection in 2012, although the frame being rusted was noted.  

Again, I can confirm that the car runs - I just drove it today.  I really hope it goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did!  

Sincerely,
Caitlin (the owner)

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
