Up for auction today is a beautiful Chevrolet Express 1500 conversion van. This particular van comes from a fleet of other vans that belonged to a limousine company. It drives comfortably and rides smoothly on long road trips. The Interior features am/fm radio, a video cassette recorder, two dvd players (one is working and one is not), surround sound, a flip down TV screen, Power windows, Rear Air Conditioning, Center Console, Digital Clock, Power Mirrors, Tilt Steering Column, Third Row Seat, Interval Wipers, Custom Trim, Privacy Shades, Captain’s Chairs, Power sofa bed (does not fully recline flat), Wireless Headphones, Infinity Lighting, Power Steering, Reclining Bucket Seats, Keyless Entry, Trip Odometer, Map Lights, and Cup Holders.

I personally have never had a problem from this van however there are a few maintenance items that must be tended to in the future. The first thing is that there is a crack in the windshield. Of course it does not affect the operation of the vehicle, but you certainly do not want to drive forever with a crack. This crack started out as a small one and expanded all the way across from left to right over the winter. The snow and cold caused this to happen. The weight of the snowfall and the cold made it inevitable. The second thing is that I have noticed antifreeze on the ground. I check the levels under the hood and it stays stable, but after a few days its low. I looked under the van but cannot locate where it is coming out from. The third is that the blower on the a/c sounds as if it’s needing inspection. It started to sound louder about a month ago. Besides that, this is a durable and dependable van. It will carry you from one state to another comfortably like an airline jet. This van has 309, 920 miles on it and the majority of the miles were put on by chauffeuring customers to the airport and the city. As you may know, these vehicles are built to run far beyond 500,000 miles. I have ALL maintenance records for this vehicle. It has been serviced regularly and well maintained. Thank you for your interest and good luck in your bidding! This is a GREAT van! |

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.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
