Listed for auction is my  2 door 1991 Chevy S-10 Blazer Sport 4X4 that I have owned since 1991. I am the second owner having purchased it in the summer of 1991. The 4.3 litre 6 cylinder has plenty of power while still getting good gas mileage (about 20-25 mpg on highway).  This vehicle has never been smoked in. About the only major repairs I have had to make to it are a water pump, starter, and air conditioning compressor all in 2001. The air was not changed over and now needs recharged. This Blazer has been very reliable for me and has been through many winters with no problems.  I have kept up on the maintenance over the years (oil changes and service every 3,000 miles). It was also detailed twice every year.  One time I had to have some work done on the speedometer. The dealership had to keep it overnight and the next day a representative of MVA had to be there to oversee the procedure and verify the mileage. I have not used it very much over the past 6-7 years and it has been sitting most of that time. This is my reason for selling. Originally it had an electrical problem which drained the battery and it turned out to be a loose computer panel. The battery will need replaced. My mechanic had it started with a charger ("hot box") a few times. My mechanic has also determined that it will need a fuel pump. The brake light stays on. We have not tried to see what the problem is there.  The interior of the Blazer is in very good condition for the age. The cloth seats have a corduroy like material on them and there are no stains or tears in them. The carpet is also in very good condition and it still has the original floor mats. The dash does not have any weathering cracks in it.  I already described the mechanics of it in description above. The exterior is in need of a little TLC. The pictures show the bubbling rust and in a couple of places there are some small holes. The clear coat has worn off the top surfaces and the paint has faded. My mechanic checked the underside and said the frame and floor pans are in good condition. The rear hatch glass will only open partially, a problem with the hydraulics. The side rear windows will slide open to let air into the cargo compartment. Some of the rubber molding around them needs to be glued back. The spare tire unit in the back works well and has the original tire and the cover. All window glass and light lenses are in good condition with no damages. The tires have decent tread but are beginning to show some minor dry rot.  Other than a collision with a deer just after I purchased it and the damaged was very minor, this vehicle has never been in an accident since I have owned it. I also have the owners manual and other manuals.  Considering the good mechanics and the very good interior and low mileage (under 81,000), I believe this vehicle is a good candidate for restoration. This Blazer is being sold "as-is where is" with no warranty written or implied. Some of the pictures were taken at my house and the rest at my mechanics shop lot. The vehicle is currently there and will be picked up there with either a flat bed truck or vehicle pulling a tandem trailer. I have sold other vehicles on EBay and am quite familiar  with all the scam attempts so please do not try or bid will be cancelled. The only method of payment I want is a $200 deposit to Paypal account first and the balance in cash at time vehicle is picked up. Will give signed title only when cash is in my hand.  Please no personal checks, cashiers checks , or credit cards. Feel free to email me with any questions except to inquire about the reserve price, I am not going to give it out. Vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of close of auction. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck bidding.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Nissan Leaf sets new November sales record, Chevy Volt drops again

Tue, Dec 2 2014

When you talk to people in the plug-in vehicle industry, one theme you hear repeatedly is that the more plug-in cars that are out there, the better things are for everyone. One reason is that more EVs build a need for more public chargers, and more chargers mean more people see that plugging in is feasible. But there's still something to be said for old-fashioned competition, and in the sales race between the two long-running plug-in vehicles in the US, the Nissan Leaf is resoundingly beating the Chevy Volt for 2014. In fact, it won't be long before the EV's cumulative sales top the PHEV's. But that's a topic for another month. For now, we have the sales results from November. Unsurprisingly, Nissan set another monthly record (that is, the best Leaf sales in any November, the 22nd time in a row we've seen a monthly record) with 2,687 sales last month. That's up 34 percent over last November and up 35 percent year-to-date. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of electric vehicle marketing, said in a statement that, "Our 'Kick Gas' ad campaign and 'No Charge to Charge' launch in Chicago and Atlanta drove an increase in November Leaf sales. Even with gas prices falling across the country, consumers appreciate that the cost of driving a Nissan Leaf is still a fraction of that of a gas-powered car." Over on the Chevy side of the ledger, there were 1,336 Volt sales last month, down 30.4 percent from the 1,920 sold in November 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 16.4 percent and Chevy has sold 17,315 Volts in 2014. As we said last month, the Volt slump might be due to people waiting on the new version to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show next month before going on sale in the second half of 2015. So far in 2014, Nissan has sold 27,098 Leafs. Look for our detailed post of US green car sales in the near future. Until then, please discuss last month's Leaf and Volt sale in the comments, below.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
