1996 Chevy Tahoe two door.  This Tahoe is in excellent condition for its age and mileage. We bought this Tahoe from an Arizona dealer in 2008.  We believe it was a California vehicle before coming to its current home in Arizona. It has always been well taken care of and serviced regularly.  It starts and runs perfectly and is very reliable.  All accessories work, cold A/C, cruise control, 4x4.  JCV HD Head unit with 400 watt Alpine amp, Pyle sub woofer box in back. This truck rides smooth and is comfortable to drive.

Items recently replaced / rebuilt:

  • New battery in mid 2012
  • New Radiator
  • Transmission rebuilt in late 2011 - less than 3,000 miles since rebuild
  • New A/C compression, dryer and condenser early 2011

Items of interest and full disclosure:

  • Tires will need to be replaced soon
  • There is a small engine oil leak towards the rear of the engine.  Doesn't leave a puddle, but several drops after sitting overnight.
  • As you can see in the pictures, there are some small rust areas on the roof near the luggage rack attaching points.  These are the only areas of rust I have seen on the entire truck.  Not sure if this area is prone to rust or not.  Being in Arizona, rust isn't an issue.
  • The steering wheel isn't perfectly centered. This occurred when a local shop replaced the tie rod ends and failed to center the wheel. It is just a little off to one side instead of being centered when you are driving in a straight line. 
  • The driver seat is power and it is weak. Moves very slowly and sometimes needs assistance.
  • The passenger door power window switch does not work, however, the switch on the driver door for the passenger window works fine.
  • Window tint on the rear side windows is starting to peel as noted in the pictures
  • When turning sharp left, there is sometimes a clunking noise.  This doesn't happen frequently and is probably a CV joint on the front axle but would need to be examined to be sure.
  • Paint on hood is starting to spider. You can't see it in the pictures.  This is very minimal.

This is a fun truck that could be used as a daily driver. I would feel comfortable jumping in this truck and taking it anywhere.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
