2004 Chevrolet Quality Coach Conversion Luxury Van on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:164000
Location:

Avon, Indiana, United States

Avon, Indiana, United States

      For sale is a LOADED 2004 Chevrolet Express Explorer Conversion Van.  It was used to travel, so most of its 164K miles were highway.  This van has every conceivable option offered in 2004, including 17" Flip-down TV, DVD Player, Cassette/CD/Radio, additional CD player (Sony) with 11-disc magazine changer, 2 heated and cooled drink holders, heated front seats, leather upholstery (all seats), fold down rear sofa, 110VAC electrical outlet, 2 wireless headphones (so the driver does not have to suffer through kids-movies being played), front and rear heat and air-conditioning, power locks, power windows, 6-way power seats (front), power heated side mirrors, cruise, all sorts of interior lighting, storage places, and window shades everywhere.  Drive train is a 5.3L V8, 4-speed automatic, posi-traction rear axle, and fairly new tires.  Has a Category 3 hitch with a 7-pin round wiring connector.  Has electric brake controller installed. There's a lot of good miles left in this cruiser.

    I am the second owner of this van, and purchased it in 2007 with 16,000 miles on it.  It has had regular maintenance (3000-mile oil changes) and repairs as needed.  The water pump was recently replaced and most of the front suspension rebuilt, re-shocked, re-bushed, with new tie-rod ends and spindles installed. Has excellent tires, new belts, and a brand new $200 NAPA battery installed.  It starts, runs, drives, shifts as new...NO funny noises, smells, leaks, or smoke.  Speaking of smoke, this van has NEVER been smoked in.

     Here's the negatives...The running board rubber mats need replaced (see pictures), the front bumper has a golf-ball sized dent in it, and a few little nicks here and there as expected on a 10-year old vehicle.  The driver-side side doors hinges need freeing-up.  These doors rarely got used, so the hinges froze up...need hinges removed and cleaned to fix.  The original 12" TV was removed from the upper rear panel.  A 17" screen replaced it, but the original hole in the panel is there.  As long as the TV screen in flipped down, it covers the hole.  Not a big deal, I'm but trying to accurately describe the defects. 

     I am starting this auction at a price WAY BELOW any book value...retail, wholesale, loan because I need to sell quickly.  We traded our pop-up camper (that this van used to haul) in for a travel trailer that requires a much bigger pickup to pull...so I am what is called a "motivated seller".

 

     You are invited to ask all the questions you need, and to personally view and drive the vehicle.  Successful bidder will be required to PAYPAL down payment of $200 immediately.  Cash or bank check upon pickup, title sent when check clears.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

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.
