1997 Chevrolet Cavalier
The PERFECT car for someone who needs reliability !
LOW RESERVE!! I NEED THIS GONE !!!!
I purchased this car in June of 2012 and have driven it (mostly highway) for over 15,000 miles! Even at 80 MPH I was getting about 25 MPG and the car had power to spare!
This car probably won't win any awards for aesthetics... but, as a functional car that is reliable I give it two thumbs up, as I've had absolutely NO problems with it. I don't know anything about the history before I bought it. But it has a clear title and no major damage that I have seen.
- Tires have good tread
- Alignment is good / perfectly straight
- starts easily in 118 degree Phoenix heat as well as 20 degrees !
- 25 MPG average ( what I was getting )
- Steering is tight, power steering works excellent
- Anti-lock brakes work perfect.
- Interior is 6 out of 10. one good cleaning and it'll shine.
Problems that I know about:
Convertible top won't go down all the way. I've checked it out and it seems to be the gear on the RH side. Easily replaced.
Convertible top is in very good condition , except for a few small scuffs and one spot where the frame poked through ( less then a dime width ) NO LEAKS !!!!!
Needs weatherstripping
Needs rear vinyl window ( Power leads for Heated Window )
Side mirrors need to be put back on ( Comes with car )
Leaks small amount of oil. small drips.. nothing major..... about 1 quart a month worth.
RH hubcap needs to be reinstalled.... (included)
Dashboard ( top part ) has missing piece near windshield. Not necessary to be replaced, but I found this at "pick-a-part" and it was about $25. Just pops off and snaps on.
Headliner need replacing.... or ... simply tear it off. Hangs down. Again.. priced this at Pick-a-part and was about $30.
Sun shades.. need recovering. ... or... tear off the fabric. Darn Phoenix sun !!!
DETAILS OF AUCTION!!!! READ !!!!
I will deliver anywhere in Phoenix on FEB 7, 8, or 9. NO SOONER .. NO LATER
What to have it transported ?? Pickup on Feb 7,8 or early morning on 9th. NO SOONER... NO LATER
DEPOSIT TO BE 1/2 AMOUNT OF SALES PRICE! Payable by PayPal / Money Pack (from Green Dot ) / Cashiers Check sent via FEDEX / or Bank Transfer to CHASE.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
