Up for auction is a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado Z-71 Extended cab 3 door. 

This truck has a rebuilt title. That means that the vehicle was involved in an accident and that the insurance company felt that the repair bill would exceed the value of the vehicle. Therefore they sold it at an auction where I purchased it and repaired the damage myself. That being said....

This truck has a 5.3 liter V-8 engine and an automatic O/D transmission. The engine starts right up and runs smooth. This vehicle starts, runs, drives, shifts, turns, and stops exactly as it should. Despite having just under 231K miles, this truck has plenty of power. The transmission shifts perfectly also. This truck also has push button 4 wheel drive. I believe the truck also has a factory towing package as the trailer hitch on the rear appears to be original. 

The exterior of the vehicle has a very nice shine to it. There are a couple small defects (scratches, dings, etc.) in the paint, but I would say it is in great shape for a 15 year old vehicle. There is NO RUST anywhere on this truck, which is very unusual for one of these trucks. I get compliments everywhere I go with it. I would give it a 9 out of 10. I believe the pictures represent it well. 

The interior is also very nice. The seats are clean and tear free. There is a small stain on the back seat, but I'm sure it's nothing a good detail job wouldn't take care of. The carpet is also clean, but has stains form normal use. I would give it an 7 out of 10. The pictures represent it well also. 

There isn't anything that would keep me from driving this truck cross-country tomorrow. We have had it for a little over a year now and it has proven to be a reliable truck. The only thing that I can think of that would need replacing is the tires. They are not bald, but they are worn down to the wear bars. They would be fine to drive it home on and would probably last you the rest of the summer and fall, but I would recommend replacing them before driving in snow. 

This vehicle is available from now until the end of the auction for inspections and test drives. If you'd like to come and see it in person before bidding, send me a message through ebay and we'll set something up. By bidding, you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase a vehicle. 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

Shipping is not being offered on this truck. If you need shipping, feel free to arrange it with a vehicle shipper of your choice. I will do my best to assist your shipper in any way possible, but I will not be responsible for any damages to the vehicle during shipment. The truck is located in Knox, Indiana. The zip code is 46534. If you'd like to fly in and drive the truck home, I'd be happy to pick you up at Midway airport in Chicago, or South Bend Regional airport in South Bend, Indiana as long as you fly in on the weekend. I have a full time job that prevents me from traveling during the week. 

This vehicle is being offered at NO RESERVE! The winning bider at the end of the auction drives it home. There is a $200 deposit due within 24 hours if the end of the auction via PAYPAL. The remainder of the winning bid is to be paid in CASH at the time of vehicle pickup. Pickup is to be no later than 7 days after the end of the auction. If you are not willing or able to meet any or all of these terms, please don't waste your time or mine by bidding. I am a very honest and straightforward person and if we are to do business, you should be also. 

Thanks for looking, and Happy Bidding!

Want a V8 on the cheap? Buy a work truck

Thu, Aug 3 2017

In case you didn't notice, V8 cars have gotten pretty expensive. If you want a modern muscle car like the Dodge Challenger R/T, Ford Mustang GT, or Chevy Camaro SS, you'll need between $34,000 and $38,000 for a stripped out example of one. The cheapest of those is the Challenger, and the priciest is the Camaro. These are also the cheapest V8 cars the companies offer. But if you absolutely have to have a V8 for less, there is an option, work trucks. As it turns out, all of the Big Three offer their most basic work trucks with V8s. And because they're so basic, they're pretty affordable, especially when sticking with the standard two-wheel drive. A Ram 1500 Tradesman with a V8 can be had for as little as $29,840, which is a little more than $4,000 less than a Challenger R/T. For a bit more at $30,275, you can have a Chevy Silverado W/T, almost $8,000 less than a Camaro SS. The most expensive is the V8 Ford F-150 starts at a starting price of $30,670, which is a bit over $5,000 less than the Mustang. Of course you'll be in an ultra bare bones vehicle with few comforts, and the price will go up if you add stuff, but we're bargain hunting here, and sacrifices are sometimes necessary. Besides, what you lose in comfort, you gain in loads of cargo space and towing (try to look at the bright side). Also, as a side note, all three trucks are available with optional electronic locking rear differentials. At the discounted price of these trucks, you still get a heaping helping of power. The most potent of the trio is the Ram 1500 Tradesman with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque generated by a 5.7-liter V8. Compared with the Challenger R/T, the Ram is up by 20 horsepower and they're tied for torque. The value proposition is even more stark between the two vehicles when looking at the price per horsepower. Each pony in the Ram costs $75.54, while the Challenger charges you $90.91. The Challenger is also more expensive per horsepower than its close competitors. The F-150's 5.0-liter V8 is just barely behind the Ram with 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. That's still more power than the Challenger, and it matches the torque of the 2017 Mustang GT. On the down side, it still would be down 20 horsepower on that same 2017 Mustang, and it's behind by 60 horsepower and 20 pound-feet on the new 2018 Mustang GT. The F-150 also just edges out the Mustang in the dollar per horsepower measure.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings.
