2012 Chevy Volt. Electric. 4 Door Hatchback on 2040-cars
Clinton, Connecticut, United States
|
this is not a hybrid, it is an electric vehicle with a gasoline powered engine that turns on when the batteries run down.
you can plug it into almost any household electrical outlet to recharge the batteries ,with the included 115 volt charger, or you can buy a 230 volt charger . charges in about 10 hours with the 115 volt charger , about 4 hours with the 230 volt charger. you can also use the free public 230 volt chargers that many local governments are installing, or pay to use the ones many businesses are installing. either way, electricity is a lot cheaper then gas. I have been averaging 9 kilowatt hours to charge it. averages 30 miles on a charge. average 300 miles a week for $20.00. if you charge it outside in the cold, you get less miles on a charge. that is just a characteristic of batteries, performance goes down in the cold. in the summer, i was getting 38- 40 miles on a charge. so i would guess, if you charge it in a garage, you will also get 38-40 miles. I am selling it because it is not working out for me. I drive 50 miles one way to work ,so about half of the time i am on gas and i am not saving anything. if you only drive it 30 miles a day, the gas engine never comes on and you never buy gas. I am the second owner. (EDIT) as far as i know, i am the second owner. The auotcheck report says I am the only owner and that it was owned by several dealers, but apparently never sold. the report also does not show anything after i bought it. about 70,000 miles left on the drive batteries warranty. remote start. you can also remote start it from anywhere with ONSTAR and a cell phone. key less , push button start. manual key back up, in case the key fob dies. back up camera, parking collision avoidance alarms,bluetooth. most climate, radio and bluetooth controls are display screen and touch screen. new tires. just got serviced at the chevy dealer. nothing wrong with it. nothing broken. just normal scratches. I have a loan on it, so buyer will have to wait for lien holder to release the title. you can take the car as soon as you pay for it, but it might be a few days for the lien holder to send me the title. these cars sell for $40 -50,000.00 new, so i think it is worth the asking price. you can get one with a cheaper sticker price at a dealer, but i doubt you will drive it off the lot for that price. if you dont like the price, make me an offer. no shipping. if you are out of the area you will have to make your own shipping arrangements. I drive to Norwich area almost every afternoon, so if you live along the way, i can stop by for you to see it and test drive it. I am still driving the car, so i cant give actual mileage . as of today, 30,680. I am estimating it will be around 31,000 during this listing. please dont waste my time with payment scams, I have heard them all. |

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
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."
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
