This 2001 Chevy Suburban 4x4 has done it's job and has taken good care of my family.  I've performed all the required maintenance on this grocery getter myself. My wife is the one who drives it and all she does is pick up groceries and drop kids off at soccer practice. I made a deal with my wife that I would get her a new car after college, now I have to keep my end of the deal. Shouldn't of open my big mouth! We just drove this suburban from Columbus GA to Killeen Tx and I can still get 509 miles per gas tank which breaks down to 16.9 mpg. I'm confident this SUV can make it anywhere in the country without any problems, last year I drove it from Utah to Georgia as comfortable as it's meant to be with 3 kids in the back screaming they need to pee every 20 miles or so :). I'm in the military so I have access to the mechanics shop on post, I regularly take my cars there to do routine maintenance, the car currently has 174,000 miles but runs great and transmission shifts smoothly, both engine and tranny have had all the maintenance done to go for another 100k miles without a major problem. Within the last year I've -

-Maintenance the rear end ($200)
-changed the original spark plugs and wires ($60)
-Added 22" wheels and tires ($1,700)
-New water pump and thermostat (this spring) ($140)
-tinted windows (maybe to dark in some states) ($200)
-recharge air conditioner (professionally of course, blows ice cold) ($100)
-installed a new stereo ($250)


I really don't want to sell it, I know it's a great running car and since we don't owe anything on it it's just savings us more money each month. The car doesn't leak anything at all, come to think of it I think it's been the only vehicle that hasn't left a oil stain in my garage. Anyone who buys it can be confident they can drive this home without any issues. The next oil change it due in 2,000 miles. All the windows work as well as the rear A/C unit. I don't want to sell it but my wife deserves a new ride she's been patient. My reserve is about $1,700 below market value, since I'm not a dealer I'm not trying to squeeze every cent out of this car for a profit, all I'm looking for is a fair price so I can put it down on another car for her. If you have any question please feel free to contact me directly on my cell at 801-390-3030. If you're interested text me and I'll send a video of the engine running and one of a test drive.

$500 deposit due 24hours after auction ends and full payment made no later than 7 days after that. Thanks for viewing and Happy Bidding!!!

Trucks and tidbits from GM's earnings report

Wed, Feb 6 2019

General Motors announced this morning that 2018 was a good year for it financially, thanks in large part to the company's performance in North America, which was predicated, according to the company, on "strong pricing, surging crossover sales, successful execution of the company's full-size truck launch, growth of GM Financial earnings, and disciplined cost control." GM reported full-year income of $8.1 billion and EBIT-adjusted income of $11.8 billion. Crossover sales in 2018 were 1,034,808, an increase of 7 percent compared to 2017 deliveries. Throw in the body-on-frame SUVs and the ute number is a total 1,295,700. But let's face it: It is the trucks that really matter. The Chevy Silverado and Colorado, the GMC Sierra and Canyon. Altogether, GM sold 973,463 pickups in the U.S. in 2018. Although Ford gets bragging rights for F-Series sales, GM gets to point out that it has a greater aggregate number. An important factor regarding the trucks and the reported income is that during the last quarter, more than 90 percent of the new 2019 trucks were crew cabs (which have a higher sticker), and at GMC more than 70 percent were Denali and AT4 models (which have even higher stickers). According to reporting by Bloomberg, GM's pickup trucks combine for $65 billion in annual revenue. Clearly when the 2018 sales of the Silverado — 585,581— dwarf the combined sales of both Buick (206,863) and Cadillac combined (154,702), pickups are what matter to the overall health of the company in a way that it is difficult to otherwise achieve. The "disciplined cost control" is something that is very much in the public eye right now, as the company is taking out thousands of its workers, and there is still the "unallocated" plant situation and other plants that will remain under capacity. The numbers in GM's earnings report probably made Unifor members' heads explode in consternation, coming fresh off their Super Bowl ad: " GM, you may have forgotten our generosity, but we'll never forget your greed." But there are a couple of curiosities in the full GM earnings release. One is that so far as its autonomous efforts go, it mentions only that (1) in the first quarter of 2018 Cruise introduced a production-ready autonomous vehicle, and (2) Cruise attracted $5 billion in external capital from SoftBank and Honda. Not a whole lot of love for autonomy. Good thing they have the trucks to fund the program, to say nothing of the external capital.

Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups

Wed, Aug 5 2015

Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes

Thu, Feb 5 2015

General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.
