The car runs and drives wonderfully.

This twenty two year old car is in very nice original condition and is under 18,000 original miles.
Original factory paint.
Original factory stripes and decals.
Original Factory interior is in very good condition. I see no rips, tears, or cracks.
I bought this car at the end of January of 2013.
This car was in Pennsylvania before we bought it. We have copy of previous owner’s car title of this car. This Pennsylvania Department of Transportation title copy is dated 7/20/11 and it has odometer miles showing as 016182 on that date. i.e. 16,182 miles. This confirms the low mileage reading.
This car now has a clear/clear Oregon Vehicle Certificate of Title.
I believe this car has never been wrecked, including anything minor.
My mechanic says this car is very clean in the engine bay and the under side of the car it was very clean with no rust and little road wear. That was the first thing I had checked since the car came to us from Pennsylvania.
In 2013, we paid a professional auto detail shop to have the under side of this car power washed and then a preventative undercoating was applied. We decided to do this to prevent any rust from happening ………the coating that was applied provides an added barrier between the underside of the car and the road/rocks/debris, which keeps the inside of the car ride slightly quieter, too.
All items below were done at a professional mechanic shop with ASE certified mechanics and all work is one year guaranteed at nationwide NAPA Auto Centers.
Synthetic oil change, oil filter performed in 2013. Auto shop mechanic / owner says the car has not gone enough miles to need another one yet this year.
Replaced Fuel Filter – 2013
New air filter – 2013
Replaced Serpentine drive belt – 2013
Replaced Brake Fluid – 2013
Spare tire inspected and PSI level is 60 in this tire in the trunk - 2013.
Set of four new tires purchased at Les Schwab Tires in 2013. P225/60R-16 97T Eclipse All Seasons BW. Four wheel spin balance done at time the tires were put on. Four tubeless valve stems installed at this time, as well. These nice all weather Toyo tires come with a limited warranty good at all Les Schwab Tire Centers. Have paperwork on this that spells out what is covered / under warranty.
2013 - Two new wiper blades installed, 5620 20” Touring Ultra Wiper Blade – 2013, from Les Schwab Tire Center.
2013 - Replaced Compressor HVAC – installed New A/C Compressor
2013 - Replaced Accumulator HVAC – Receiver/Drier
2013 – Replaced Expansion Block/Orifice – expansion valve
2013 - AC Service R-134 – Hooked up a/c machine to vehicle, charge system and performance test. Add dye to system. AC Oil Dye added. Refrigerant added.
2013 - AC Convert. Evac AC system retrofit to R-134 recharge and performance test install retrofit kit as per manufacture specs.
2013 - Replace Radiator Hoses – upper hose, lower hose, four new hose clamps
2013 – Coolant Fluid Serv Extd Afrz – Back flush cooling system, add anti freeze to specs, pressure test system &rad cap, checked thermostat & elec fan operation.
2013 – replaced battery & terminal protection pieces.
2013 – I decided that now matter how much I hand washed the front bumper, that it had a dirty white look/tone that was like tea stained teeth. So I had a local auto body and paint shop take off the front bumper and factory bumper stripes off of the bumper and then had it repainted whiter shade to better match the actual color of the car's original paint. Over twenty two years the front plastic bumper over 16K miles of travel had faded and darkened a different shade of color than the car. So I had the front bumper removed, then repainted and re-striped to a more uniform color look. The front bumper (or this car) has never been wrecked or dinged. The front bumper is the only part on the car that is not the original paint. But it looks better now than before I had got it re-painted.
2013 - New front license plate frame/support piece for the front license plate - we also had it painted the exact white color of front bumper.
2013 – Replaced broken/worn shift cables – replaced two custom made heim joint shifter cables, drilled oem fasteners, modified and fabricated connections as needed, adjusted and performance test as required to confirm integrity of repair. Replaced 4 new clips.
2013 - Brake Inspection – test drove and removed all four wheels, inspected integrity of brake fluid, inspected master cylinder for leakage, Inspected brake lines front and rear, inspected for brake leakage, investigated rear auto adjusters and adjustment.
2013 – resealed shift gear
Car has never been smoked in. In fact, I think it still slightly has that ‘new GM car smell’ inside.
Car is something that the former owner represented to be in mint condition, etc….the reality truth is that this is a very nice original condition car.....but is not perfect mint condition. But very nice. Previous owner also made claim that this low mile rare car will increase in value over time. I am not sure if that is the case or not. I do know these are real hard to find like this in real good condition with such low actual miles. But what I have learned is when you do get a nice low miles car that is older, most need new tires right away and then more (see above items I have done in 2013, for example) to get the car actually functioning and operating as well a it looks and feels.
No windshield cracks, no dash cracks that I see. I have brought this car up a level or two from the level it was at when I got it at the 16K mileage level.
Have the factory floor mats.
I do drive the car on occasional sunny afternoons every week or two just to keep everything working and flowing well. So there may be up to a hundred or two hundred more miles added, depending on if and when it sells.
There are two 1992 factory Chevy Lumina Service Manuals/books in the trunk. These books from 1992, book 1 and book 2, are each a couple inches thick. These books are specific to the Chevy Z34 model and each have tons of illustrations and literally spells out every detail part of this car’s body and engine. Great for future repair shop quick reference, or for plan B reference if you/they don’t have the info electronically as plan A.
Original factory owner’s manual booklet from GM is in the glove box.
The car comes with three pairs of original sets of GM keys – ignition and doors/trunk keys.
All lights work, everything works as it should, down to the unused cigarette lighter.
Reason for selling : an unforeseen recent IRS tax bill is due for us this year, so we are selling our collector car. Absolutely hate to see it go, was hoping to keep and enjoy this for a long time. But IRS is needing our $ this year soon, so car must go up for sale to raise funds. No trades.
Our family has invested over $15,000 in this car in total. The $13,900 ebay 'Buy it now price' sells this car for us at a loss of a couple thousand $ when all is said and done. We'll make no profit on this eBay sale compared to the grand total $ we have invested in the car to date.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum Sport Coupe

Wed, Aug 23 2023

Before General Motors created the Geo brand for cars built or designed by its overseas partners, the Chevrolet Division put its badges on U.S.-market versions of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter, the Suzuki Cultus and the Isuzu Gemini. Those cars were known as the Nova, the Sprint and the Spectrum, and all became Geos starting with the 1989 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the last Chevy Spectrums ever sold, found in a Denver self-service yard a few months ago. Midway through 1988, the Chevrolet Spectrum abruptly became the Geo Spectrum and was assigned to the 1989 model year. This car was built in May 1988, making it one of the very last of the pre-Geo Spectrums. The Chevrolet/Geo Spectrum was available as a four-door sedan and as a three-door hatchback, from the 1985 through 1989 model years. For 1988 only, a Spectrum Sport Coupe package, featuring some trim upgrades and these rad decals, could be had on the hatchback. This car was essentially identical to its Isuzu-badged counterpart, the I-Mark. In 1988, the MSRP for the cheapest possible Chevy Spectrum hatchback (the stripped-down Spectrum Express) was $6,495, while its somewhat better-equipped I-Mark twin started at $7,439 (that's $17,128 and $19,617 in 2023 dollars). Meanwhile, the base Hyundai Excel hatchback listed at $5,295 and the Yugo GV cost a hilarious $4,199 ($13,963 and $10,941 in today's money). Power came from this 1.5-liter SOHC four-cylinder, rated at 70 horsepower. A turbocharged version with 110 horsepower was available as well. You could get an automatic transmission in the Spectrum, but this car has the base five-speed manual. This car didn't get the optional air conditioning, but at least it has the traditional Isuzu HVAC control icons featuring blow-dried hair and high-heeled dominatrix boots. Just over 170,000 miles on the odometer. Someone installed a pretty good (for the 1980s) Blaupunkt Charlotte CR148 cassette deck in the dash. This was a necessity if you wanted to enjoy full appreciation of the music of the era. The Spectrum is special! It's as slick as city rain. "I didn't spend a lot of money but with my Spectrum it looks like I did." Joe Isuzu mocked Toyota salesmen when pitching the I-Mark. As was nearly always the case during the 1980s, the JDM ads for the same car were much more fun. They should have recreated this commercial with Spectrums.

GM recalls nearly 1 million vehicles for airbag defect

Sat, May 13 2023

WASHINGTON — General Motors said on Friday it will recall nearly 1 million sport utility vehicles in the United States because the driver's airbag inflator may explode during deployment. The recall covers 994,763 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles from the 2014 through 2017 model years with modules produced by ARC Automotive Inc. Dealers will replace the driver's airbag module. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said a driver in Michigan of a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse was in a crash in which the front-driver airbag inflator ruptured during deployment causing facial injuries. An April 25 inspection confirmed that the front driver airbag inflator ruptured in the vehicle. TheÂ National Highway Traffic Safety AdministrationÂ (NHTSA) demanded the recall of 67 millionÂ air bagÂ inflators because it believes there is a safety defect, but auto supplier ARC Automotive Inc rejected the U.S. regulator's request, documents released on Friday show. TheÂ auto safetyÂ agency said the inflators pose an unreasonable risk of death or injury. Even as ruptures mount, "ARC has not made a defect determination that would require a recall of this population," NHTSA said in its demand letter to the Tennessee-based company. "AirÂ bag inflators that project metal fragments into vehicle occupants, rather than properly inflating the attached air bag, create an unreasonable risk of death and injury." GM said it was still investigating the issue with the assistance of a third-party engineering firm. "GM is taking this expanded field action out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of our customers as our highest priority," the Detroit automaker said. GM said it was aware of two prior ruptures of ARC-manufactured airbag inflators in 2015 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles, and GM conducted two earlier small recalls of about 3,000 ARC inflators. All three rupture events in Chevrolet Traverse vehicles involved the same inflator variant. ARC noted in a letter made public Friday that no root cause for those ruptures has been identified by ARC or GM. ARC said it was assessing the scope of GMÂ’s recall.Â Government/Legal Recalls Buick Chevrolet GMC Safety Crossover SUV

GM and Isuzu to partner for medium-duty commercial truck

Tue, Jun 16 2015

General Motors is returning to the medium-duty truck business in the US for the first time since 2009 thanks to a new deal with longtime-partner Isuzu. The arrangement brings the Isuzu N-series models to Chevrolet dealers with the Bowtie's branding on them in 2016. There are six medium-duty Chevy models arriving at dealers in regular cab and crew cab bodies: the 3500, 3500HD, 4500, 4500HD, 5500, and 5500HD. The trucks will be sold as a bare chassis for buyers to outfit to their needs. Depending on model, customers will have the choice of an Isuzu-sourced 3.0-liter and 5.2-liter diesel engines or a 6.0-liter V8 gasoline-fueled engine from GM and six-speed gearbox. According to company spokesperson Bob Wheeler to Autoblog, the diesel models will be built in Japan and the rest assembled from knockdown kits in Charlotte, MI. This kind of vehicle sharing isn't uncommon for GM in the commercial segment, and it already partners with Nissan to use the Japanese brand's NV200 as the City Express van. The General also once owned a significant stake in Isuzu, and the two have remained collaborators even since then. Isuzu and GM Enter Commercial Vehicle Collaboration Agreement in the U.S. 2015-06-15 DETROIT and FUJISAWA, Japan – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) and Isuzu Motors (TSE 7202) have reached an agreement on a U.S. commercial vehicle collaboration, allowing Isuzu to strengthen its product lineup and GM to expand its commercial vehicle portfolio. Isuzu will produce low cab forward models for GM, based off of the Isuzu N-Series. The vehicles will be distributed by participating Chevrolet dealers in the U.S. market starting in 2016. To strengthen the product lineup, GM and Isuzu will explore the use of GM commercial vehicle components for Isuzu low cab forward trucks and GM will continue to produce and supply the 6.0L V-8 gas engine and six-speed transmission for Isuzu gasoline-powered low cab forward trucks. Isuzu and GM have maintained a strategic partnership for more than 40 years, producing collaborative business opportunities throughout the world. This agreement continues that tradition and reinforces a long-term relationship that helps to explore future collaborations in the U.S. commercial vehicle business. About General Motors General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM, TSX: GMM) and its partners produce vehicles in 30 countries, and the company has leadership positions in the world's largest and fastest-growing automotive markets.
