Listed for auction is my  2 door 1991 Chevy S-10 Blazer Sport 4X4 that I have owned since 1991. I am the second owner having purchased it in the summer of 1991. The 4.3 litre 6 cylinder has plenty of power while still getting good gas mileage (about 20-25 mpg on highway).  This vehicle has never been smoked in. About the only major repairs I have had to make to it are a water pump, starter, and air conditioning compressor all in 2001. The air was not changed over and now needs recharged. This Blazer has been very reliable for me and has been through many winters with no problems.  I have kept up on the maintenance over the years (oil changes and service every 3,000 miles). It was also detailed twice every year.  One time I had to have some work done on the speedometer. The dealership had to keep it overnight and the next day a representative of MVA had to be there to oversee the procedure and verify the mileage. I have not used it very much over the past 6-7 years and it has been sitting most of that time. This is my reason for selling. Originally it had an electrical problem which drained the battery and it turned out to be a loose computer panel. The battery will need replaced. My mechanic had it started with a charger ("hot box") a few times. My mechanic has also determined that it will need a fuel pump. The brake light stays on. We have not tried to see what the problem is there.  The interior of the Blazer is in very good condition for the age. The cloth seats have a corduroy like material on them and there are no stains or tears in them. The carpet is also in very good condition and it still has the original floor mats. The dash does not have any weathering cracks in it.  I already described the mechanics of it in description above. The exterior is in need of a little TLC. The pictures show the bubbling rust and in a couple of places there are some small holes. The clear coat has worn off the top surfaces and the paint has faded. My mechanic checked the underside and said the frame and floor pans are in good condition. The rear hatch glass will only open partially, a problem with the hydraulics. The side rear windows will slide open to let air into the cargo compartment. Some of the rubber molding around them needs to be glued back. The spare tire unit in the back works well and has the original tire and the cover. All window glass and light lenses are in good condition with no damages. The tires have decent tread but are beginning to show some minor dry rot.  Other than a collision with a deer just after I purchased it and the damaged was very minor, this vehicle has never been in an accident since I have owned it. I also have the owners manual and other manuals.  Considering the good mechanics and the very good interior and low mileage (under 81,000), I believe this vehicle is a good candidate for restoration. This Blazer is being sold "as-is where is" with no warranty written or implied. Some of the pictures were taken at my house and the rest at my mechanics shop lot. The vehicle is currently there and will be picked up there with either a flat bed truck or vehicle pulling a tandem trailer. I have sold other vehicles on EBay and am quite familiar  with all the scam attempts so please do not try or bid will be cancelled. The only method of payment I want is a $200 deposit to Paypal account first and the balance in cash at time vehicle is picked up. Will give signed title only when cash is in my hand.  Please no personal checks, cashiers checks , or credit cards. Feel free to email me with any questions except to inquire about the reserve price, I am not going to give it out. Vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of close of auction. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck bidding.

New auto loans could soon extend out to 84 months

Sun, Apr 22 2018

Cars and trucks are more expensive than ever before. In order to boost sales and help consumers afford new vehicles, automakers are offering longer and longer terms for auto loans. This past week, Bloomberg reported that FCA's Ram Trucks division is currently offering the longest loans. Some stretch to 73 months. Jeep, Fiat and Chevy aren't far behind. More noteworthy is that we'll likely soon see lenders moving from 73-month to 84-month loans. That's seven years worth of interest. More than two-thirds of US auto sales come from light trucks like the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500. The average transaction price of a new vehicle is well over $30,000. It's not difficult to spec out a heavily-optioned truck up to $60,000. Vehicles depreciate from the moment they roll off a dealer lot, and these six or seven-year loans could hurt consumers and lenders both in the long run. The U.S. Senate voted last week to kill rules that would prevent discriminatory auto lending. These Obama-era guidelines were meant to curtail lenders who offered higher loans based on race, religion, sex or national origin.

Fingers point to dragged-out NHTSA investigation after second death by ARC airbag inflator

Thu, Oct 14 2021

Safety advocates have increased criticism of the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after an exploding airbag inflator that's been under investigation for more than six years killed a second person.  On Wednesday, NHTSA posted recall documents filed by General Motors that revealed the second death, the driver of a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse SUV with an inflator made by Tennessee company ARC blew apart, spewing shrapnel. No details were given about where and when the death occurred. NHTSA has said that ARC Automotive of Knoxville has manufactured about 8 million inflators used nationwide in vehicles made by General Motors, Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis), Kia and Hyundai. “NHTSA should have been all over this along time ago,” said Rosemary Shahan, president of California-based Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety. “There's just no denying that itÂ’s a (safety) defect.” NHTSA, the agency charged with with keeping America's automobiles and roads safe, began investigating ARC inflators in July of 2015 after two people were injured by flying shrapnel. The investigation became more urgent in 2016, when a Canadian woman driving an older Hyundai Elantra was killed by metal airbag fragments. Public records show only a little progress on the probe. In April, the agency posted a memo in saying it was reviewing volumes of information it received from ARC. Safety advocates such as Shahan say that the dragged-out investigation is an example of the deadly consequences that can result from an understaffed and underfunded agency. The second death should not have happened, Shahan said, and vehicles with faulty ARC inflators should have been recalled faster. The agency, Shahan said, is “grossly underfunded," but it still should have sought recalls of the ARC inflators. She said historically NHTSA has taken little action during Republican administrations but has ramped up safety efforts when Democrats control the White House. Messages were left Wednesday by the Associated Press seeking comment from NHTSA and ARC. At this time, relatively few vehicles are effected. The GM recall covers only 550 Chevy Traverse SUVs from the 2013 through 2017 model years, as well as Buick Enclave SUVs from 2008 through 2017. The automaker said in a statement that the faulty front driver's airbag inflators were either installed at the factory or in replacement airbag modules.
