 2012 Chevrolet Equinox LS. Used, one owner, non-smoker car. Purchased new a little over two years ago. Only reason for selling, is because my wife and I have two kids, and are about to gain custody of her sisters two kids as well, and we need a bigger vehicle. Car has been great, only had one small warranty issue that the dealership fixed. Some kind of engine sensor went bad. Has been serviced by the dealership since day one. A lifetime, full service plan was purchased with the vehicle, and I'll see if I can get the dealership to transfer that to the new owner. Does come with a membership card for free roadside assistance, towing, lockout, key replacement, and travel services.

All owners manuals are still in car, and both key/keyless entry fobs. Has three 12v power outlets, one in rear cargo area, one in center console, with stereo aux input, and on in the front console. Full driver information system, shows tire pressures, two trip odometers, average/instantaneous MPG, average speed, etc. Has bluetooth connectivity, hands-free calling, On-star, XM radio(Subscription is good for another 3 months at least) MP3/CD, AC blows cold, heat works great. Power windows/locks, drivers power seat.

Rear seat slides forward, and folds down. Tons of cargo room in the back. Dealer installed floormats front and rear. Spare tire/jack/lug wrench have never been removed. Something under the spare still covered in bubble wrap.

2.4L ecotech motor, and 6spd auto transmission. Gets great fuel mileage, averages around 30-32 on the freeway, and 20-25 in town. Vehicle average says 24.4 right now, with 30 mph average speed. Great looking 17" wheels, with Michelin P225/65 Latitude tires. Plenty of tread left, always rotated on schedule by dealership.

Car has never been in any sort of accident, and never had any major work done. The only real defects are small paint/body cosmetics. Pictures show the front end has a few paint nicks, and scuffs on the lower valence from parking curbs and such. The back of the center console shows some small scuffs, and the door panels have a few as well.

I'm going to talk to the dealership tomorrow to see if the paint issues can be fixed under warranty, and to see if the service plan will transfer. I am also going to see if they will inspect it and give me some kind of "certified pre-owned" document, since I'm sure they would resell it as such if I traded it in to them. I will update this listing once I talk to them about the above items.

The car is still under warranty. The basic warranty is 3yr/36,000 miles, and the powertrain is at least 5 years/100,000 miles. My dealership offers a lifetime powertrain warranty, but I will have to check with them to see if that transfers to a new owner.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
