Hello.  With our boys heading to college, its time to downsize and sell our dependable family SUV.  I have spared no expense maintaining this truck because this SUV hauls my family every day through every kind of weather.  As I'll explain, this truck is in absolutely perfect mechanical condition and should make someone a reliable, affordable vehicle for many years to come.  Pick it up and drive it to the grocery store or anywhere across country with confidence.

The basics:  The Suburban is powered by a 5.3l v8 with automatic transmission.  It has push button four wheel drive with high and low range. We've never towed or plowed with it but it sure has plenty of power. The truck starts in any weather without fail and has never let us down.  I have taken great care of it going above and beyond on maintenance.  I've done the oil and filter changes religiously with premium products. The truck does not smoke, use oil, or leak a drop of any fluids. 

Serviced recently:  Brand new air conditioning compressor, brand new ceramic heavy duty brake pads on all 4 wheels, brand new rotors on all 4 wheels, 4 newer matching goodyear all season tires with 90% tread.  Its super roomy with 3 rows of seats for 9 adults and all your gear.  The double barn doors on the back are a great feature for loading and unloading groceries, sleds, your stuff.

The Good:  Truck is well maintained and has never let us down.  Frame and paint is solid with no rot or rust issues.  It is reliable, roomy, and safe.  The 4x4 system works great and the truck is very sure-footed; she's gotten the family home safely every time through the worst New England blizzards and ice storms.  The GM 5.3l v8 is known to go 3-400,000 miles or more with proper maintenance.   At 150k this truck is still breaking in.  All the glass and paint are in good shape.  The kelly blue book retail value is $8,540.

The Bad:  The passenger side rear seatbelt needs an adjustment as one of our guests pulled it all the way out so the recoil mechanism isn't working.  The driver side rear door panel is loose and needs new fasteners.  The front bench seat is black vinyl and has a tear on the driver side.  The two rear rows of bench seats are tan leather.  There are dings and spills as you would expect from 4 boys and their friends climbing around in the truck.  There is one or two shopping cart dings on the outside.   This won't compete with a prius in gas mileage but I always preferred the tough, large envelope around my family over fuel economy.  That's it.

Please check my feedback and bid with confidence.  This will make you a nice, dependable, safe vehicle for any years to come if you keep up with the maintenance.  There is no shipping for the truck.  There are no warranties on this sale.  Title is clear and in hand.  Buyer will get title and bill of sale. Please be prepared to conclude this transaction within 7 days of auction close. Cash at pickup is strongly preferred though I accept paypal if you want the protections it provides.  You are most welcome to come check out the truck before bidding.

Thank you for checking out this auction.  Good luck bidding.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
