THIS IS A REALLY NICE ELCAMINO. THE MILAGE SHOWS 48,000 AND THE GUY WE BOUGHT IT FROM SAYS THAT IS CORRECT. WE DID A VEHICLE CHECK AND IT SHOWS IT WAS BOUGHT IN 87 AND TITLED BUT NEVER REGISTERED UNTIL 97 WHEN IT CHANGED OWNERS. IT WAS REGISTERED FROM 97 UNTIL 04 AND CHANGED HANDS AGAIN AND WAS NOT REGISTERED AGAIN UNTIL 2012 WHEN IT WAS SOLD AGAIN. THE GUY WE BOUGHT IT FROM DROVE IT A FEW MONTHS DURING 2012 AND WE BOUGHT IT. IT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE. WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS THE MILAGE HAS A STRONG CHANCE OF BEING RIGHT. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD THAT JUNK 80S GM PAINT THAT ALL FELL OFF. THE CLEAR COAT WAS PEALING BAD. WE HAD IT REPAINTED (BASECOAT CLEAR COAT) AT A COST OF AROUNG $5,000. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE IT SHOULD. THE AIR WAS WORKING WHEN WE PARKED IT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO BUT IT IS NOT BLOWING COLD NOW. IT MUST HAVE LOST THE FREON FROM SETTING. IT ALSO HAS A COUPLE OF CRACKS IN THE DASH THAT ARE COVERED WITH A DASHMAT. IT IS HARD TO FIND ONE THAT IS NOT CRACKED.( SEEMS TO BE THE NATURE OF THE BEAST) OTHER THAN THAT THE CAR SEEMS TO BE PERFECT. THIS CAR IS FOR SALE LOCAL SO IF YOU WANT IT THEN BID ON IT TO LOCK IT IN AND I'LL DROP IT LOCALLY. I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN UNTIL THE 27TH. IF YOU NEED TO COME LOOK AT IT I WILL BE AVAILABLE ANYTIME AFTER THAT. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE VEHICLE REPORT SO YOU CAN SEE WHEN IT WAS REGISTERED. LOOK THE PICTURES OVER CLOSE AND YOU AN SEE THIS IS TRULY A NICE ONE... GOOD LUCK ROD |

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
