2004 Chevrolet Astro Base Extended Cargo Van 3-door 4.3l on 2040-cars
Island Lake, Illinois, United States
2004 Astro AWD V6 Cargo Van ~ No Reserve Runs, drives and tows great!! All Wheel Drive great in snow!! Has dents/dings/scratches but none major. No major rust or holes, etc. Great personal work van I just needed bigger one. I've owned it since 2010 and maintained it well. Besides the new tranny and exhaust, all work done at Pep Boys, I have receipts for everything since I've owned it. NEW: Transmission Chevy Dealer Installed 130K Aftermarket 2” hitch insert with 2“ ball, 4-plug wire. It has a factory "tow/haul" feature on steering column. It has a thick protective rubber mat covering the entire floor, I think aftermarket.
Here's what you might want to fix but won't stop you from putting it to work today: There is a "check engine" light on, Pep Boys said it's just emissions related. Heater/AC/Defrost works but only on 3/4 fan setting. Back door handle is broken off, rigged with wire to release it. Lock/latch works perfect. Seats are torn on sitting surfaces (backs are not damaged), covered with cushions and cloth covers that aren't bad. Power locks repeatedly click trying to relock I think it's a dirty connection somewhere, it annoyed me so I pulled the fuse it's in the glovebox. (All locks work manually) The red button on the dash is for a beeping reverse alarm but it stopped working last year. The weather stripping around the back doors is not great especially at the bottom. (Sliding door and passenger doors are fine.) Interior steel door for the cargo area is missing.
I've tried to list everything I can think of, feel free to ask questions. Also for sale locally (Island Lake IL) so auction may end at any time. Title is free & clear in my name, no leins. SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE! $300 NON REFUNDABLE Paypal deposit due within 24hrs, full amount due at pick up within 7 Days of end of auction. IT"S A GREAT VAN GOOD LUCK BIDDING! |

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
