This is a 1996 Chevy Caprice 9C1. It was originally a municipal vehicle in Elk Grove Village. I am selling it as is. It has the LT1 350 5.7 V8 motor. Power locks works. Trunk pops. This has been my daily driver for almost 5 years. It runs and drives well. It will be a great car for someone that will care for it. I am the second owner.

 

Things that have been done since 2009. Most done in the past 2 year.

             Gas tank from junk yard

             Fuel filter

             Fuel pump

             Fuel pressure regulator

             Shocks

             Hotchkis four link suspension

             Hooker headers and flowmaster super 44s

             Pro comp powder coated steel wheels (off-set 2 inches to stick out further than stock)

             All new break lines

             All new calipers

             Relatively new rotors and pads

             Wheel bearings

             Radiator

             Water pump

             Heater core hoses

             Detroit locker (real locker not true track or other Eaton posi)

             Alternator

             Idler pulley

             40% tread left on Michelin hydro-edge tires

             Optima 6 pack red top battery

             Original ignition switch broke. Cheap quick fix by hot-wiring with a switch for ignition on and a button to start it. (Fixable if you buy the parts. The cable snapped between the tumbler and original ignition switch located under the dash above the steering column)

             Electric cooling fans are also on a switch

- Starter replaced

 

 

Things to consider for future repair

             Windows need to be glued back onto tracks but all windows will go up and down relatively easy with some manual assistance

             Headers leak at heads. I have brand new aluminum chrushable gaskets that will resolve the issue. They will be provided with the car.

             Steering has play. I have Hotchkis complete tie rods and end links that will come with the car

             Some rust on lower quarter panels behind rear wheels. There are two small spots on the floor that have rusted through. The floor is still very sturdy and the holes can be repaired. Hole inside trunk on the passenger's side where the wheel well meets the trunk. Normal surface rust on frame and spots under the hood for a car with this mileage.

             Air conditioning worked last summer. Something malfunctioned so I unplugged the compressor. Should be repairable.

             A normal sized stereo will fit into the dash. All wires are there and ready to be hooked up. 1 pioneer speaker in each front door. No rear speakers but there is wiring.

GM reworking mandatory OnStar plans for some 2024 models

Tue, Mar 21 2023

For the 2023 model year, GM added its OnStar and Connected Services plan as standard equipment to a large number of Buick, GMC, and Chevrolet vehicles. Folding the $1,500 retail price into the MSRPs of models like the GMC Acadia and Buick Encore plumped up prices beyond the usual year-on-year bumps. Looks like there's a reversal in play for 2024, GM Authority reporting that many of the models fitted with OnStar and Connected Services — now called OnStar Premium — will step down to three years of OnStar Remote Access standard.   OnStar Remote Access comes with these features: Remote key fob, vehicle locate, and remote personalization through mobile and in-vehicle apps. Three additional features can be added to the plan: OnStar Guardian, in-vehicle hotspot, and Super Cruise. Owners can also upgrade to OnStar Premium if they choose.  Higher trims like Buick's Avenir and GMC's Denali, plus the GMC Hummer and the Cadillac Escalade will retain OnStar Premium as standard equipment. That suite starts with Remote Access and adds: Automatic crash response, stolen vehicle assistance and recovery, OnStar Guardian, in-vehicle app access, unlimited streaming, three years of Super Cruise on vehicles with the hardware, and six months of SiriusXM radio. The Escalade puts a cherry on top with three years Sirius XM instead of six months. The Remote Access plan normally charges $14.99 per month. We're not sure yet if GM will subtract the cost of OnStar Premium from the MSRP and add the $540 for OnStar Remote Access, or if the trial period comes free of charge. Even if that's what happens, the change could take nearly $1,000 off the MSRP of a car like the GMC Acadia before any 2024 increases. We'll know more as the 2024MY models roll out and prices are announced. Related Video 2022 Buick Enclave Avenir revealed

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race

Thu, Sep 8 2016

The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.
