The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Vehicle is in great mechanical condition with only 59422 actual miles on the car. Car is 12 years old and as such, the exterior reflects this. The paint is not perfect as there are small chips and a few scuffs on the vehicle. There is also a half dollar sized spot on the passenger side that was touched up by the previous owner. At the time i purchased the car, i had planned on getting this fixed but just never got around to it. I would say that for a 12 year old vehicle, the paint is a 7 out of 10. There is also 3 small spots on the passenger side seat that appear to be small puncture marks. These marks are very small and hard to see unless you know they are there. Factory Monsoon speakers have been replaced but it still has the original Monsoon head unit."

2001 Camaro SS


Up for auction is my 2001 Camaro SS with 59,422 actual miles on it. The car, as far as I know is bone stock with the exception of a K & N air filter. The car is Navy Blue Metallic in color and has an automatic transmission. The car has the optional T-top roof and the seals are very good. One of the previous owners had the factory SS 10 spoke wheels powder coated black and these are still on the vehicle. My opinion is that the wheels look great on the car like this but Ive always liked the factory wheels. I bought this car in May of last year and had intended on keeping it. Due to an unforeseen life event, I am now forced to sell it. I want this to be perfectly clear, I am selling this car because i have to, not because anything is wrong with it.


Pros:
  • The car is in excellent mechanical condition. Everything on the car works as it should from the power seats to the air conditioner.
  • New brake pads put on less than 100o miles ago. 
  • The power window motors still work well but are a bit slower than they probably used to be.
  • The leather interior, in my opinion, is in very good condition. There are a few small spots on the passenger side seat that appear to be puncture marks. These marks are very small and hard to notice unless you are looking for them. There is also a bit of wear to the side of the driver seat that is caused by entering and exiting the vehicle. This wear is common on all Camaros I have owned. The wear is only a color change and there are no tears or holes. This wear is seen in one of the pictures.
  • T-tops are in great condition. The seals all around the tops are perfect and do not allow any water to leak in. The tops themselves have no scratches.
  • As stated above, a previous owner had the factory wheels powder coated black, as well as the center caps and lug nut covers.  
  • The motor is very strong. As stated, the car only has 59,422 miles on it and it is a beast. If you are looking at this listing, you probably know all of the specs so I wont waste your time boring you with the details. The automatic transmission also shifts very well. Again, I have had zero problems with this car!!! 

Cons:
  • Paint- I cant lie, the paint on this car is not perfect. The car is 12 years old and the paint reflects this. Most of the car appears to still be glossy but the hood and front appear faded a bit. I am not sure if the front was repainted by a previous owner or what but the hood has definite swirl marks. You can also see a mark across the front end just under the hood. I am no paint expert so I have no idea what causes this other than age. You can see this mark in the pictures. Also, on the passenger side, near the rear, is a small half dollar sized spot that has been retouched at some point. The car was like this when i bought it and I have just never gotten it fixed. You cant really notice it from a distance but it is noticeable when you are up close. The paint that was used to retouch it is not peeling off. Other than that, there are a few rock chips that have apparently been retouched so you dont really notice them.
  • The tires on the car will need to be replaced soon. They were not great when I bought the car and I have put around 8,000 miles on it since i bought it.
  • The factory Monsoon speakers have been replaced. I didnt know if I should put this in the pros or cons so I put it here. I never liked the Monsoon speakers so to me it was good. The only thing is, whoever replaced the speakers left the Monsoon head unit in the car. I am assuming that they had replaced the unit too but replaced it with the Monsoon unit when they sold the car. The speakers sound OK with the Monsoon unit but I am sure they would sound way better with another unit.
According to the previous owner, the car has an aftermarket SLP exhaust on the car. It definitely sounds different than the last SS I had that did not have this exhaust. The SLP door sticker makes no mention of this exhaust being added so i am not sure if the previous owner added it after the fact or what. The exhaust is louder than the factory one on my last SS but it is not annoyingly loud at all. It is still mild, it just has a very nice rumble to it. 

I apologize if I have left anything out or have gone on too much about certain things. t is just that I have bought cars in the past and the owners were not very truthful about their vehicle. I do not want this to be the case. I need to get rid of the car but i would be happy if someone gets it that would truly appreciate it. When I get back on my feet, I would love to get another one as this is still by favorite body style Camaro. Another thing that i want to add is that this car, as seen in the pictures, is presently sitting on a car lot in Russellville Kentucky, where I live. The car lot is called Carz N More and is located at 319 S. Franklin Street. The number there is (270) 726-1533. The owner is Jeff and if anyone wants to look at or test drive the car, you are more than welcome to do so. My name is Greg and my number is (270) 725-7018. NOTE: I do not need help selling my car so dont ask. Also, I dont give a damn about your "I work overseas and am getting this as a gift for someone else" speeches. Not interested!! If you want this car, you will have to come and get it. I WILL NOT ship this car to ANYWHERE!

There is a lien on the car as of now. I will tell you that I have been pre approved for any amount over what I get in the auction. That being said, I can't let it go for a stupid amount. Because of the paint condition of the vehicle and the fact it needs new tires, i will reflect this in my reserve price. This is an excellent chance to get an awesome vehicle for cheap. Good luck!!!

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer 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.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
