DASH LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES, BUT GO IN AND OUT

GAS GAUGE IS MESSED UP-SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOES NOT

I reserve the right to take this listing down if I get an offer and I accept it.

I bought this car from a private seller about a year ago. I love this era and this model type, but I really wanted a convertible at the time, but I jumped in and bought this one. The interior is brown leather/ cloth and brown carpet. Radio is aftermarket (but does not fit very well and is loose in the hole). The mileage is approximately around the 70,000 miles mark. I have the original window sticker and other original booklet and documentation. V8, 350 engine, 2 barrel. When I bought it, the headliner was new but the seem split during the summer because I left it out in the sun when it was hot (I know, bad on me!) but I think it would be an easy fix. The interior is allegedly original by the guy I bought it from, but it does look a little too good to be original. Other folks have looked at it and suggested it has been redone. I have driven this thing to Nashville (from Alabama) and back in the winter, so it is a good driver. However, recently there was some smoking going on and it seemed there was some oil leaking. I had a mechanic look at it, and he said that there was a screw loose and oil was seeping through the seal. He tightened the screw and said I just needed to pressure wash off the excess oil and the smoking would stop. I haven't done that yet-I was afraid to put water near the engine parts. Overall, he gave me a clean bill of health on the engine. When I bought the car, it would take a minute to start it because you had to pump the gas twice and really feather it and give it time to idle first. My mechanic corrected that a lot by replacing the spring switch for the throttle. Still, as with any cars of this age and era, you have to feather the gas and "learn" how to start and get it going. The car has probably been repainted, according to the mechanic, due to overspray in the trunk. There are a couple of lines of rust-colored stain on the sides -where when it rains, the water comes out from under the top on that side where a small, quarter-inch size rust spot is right underneath the roof cover (see pics). I think it would be easy to buff it out. Any other questions just email me. I love the car, but its time to move on and find a convertible version. There are small flecks, dings, and rust spots as you would expect. Images should make them clear.

RESERVE IS SET at $4,500 because that is how much I still owe the bank. I had financed it for $6,000.

GM expanding Lansing Lambda CUV plant

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Considering that crossovers are a rapidly growing portion of the US auto market, it's not surprising to hear that General Motors is preparing to build even more of them. The company is investing $63 million to expand its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant that builds Lambda platform CUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave.
According to GM, the expansion will add roughly 263,000 extra square feet of space to the plant. Of that, 181,000 square feet will be for an updated body shop with cutting-edge robots. There will also be 54,000 square feet of additional room in the paint shop and 28,000 square feet of more area for general assembly.
GM isn't saying as much, but there is the possibility that this extra space could allow for additional models produced at the factory. Cadillac reportedly dropped plans to build a three-row SUV on the Lambda platform earlier this year, however, dealers for the luxury brand were recently pitched the possibility of adding large and small CUVs, an ATS convertible or a sedan below the ATS.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
