1989 Silverado Blazer 4x4 W/lift-toyos-alarmed-118k Org Miles-20k On Motor-rare! on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
This is my 1989 chevrolet 1500 SILVERADO PACKAGE FULL SIZE BLAZER! This Blazer is my BABY! I purchased it in 1994, and it is part of our family!!! I was offered 12K once, and tjen about a tear ago I was offered 10K for it by someone off the street that just saw it and came and offered my Daughter the 10K, and said that he didnt even care if it ran!! My Daughter knew better, and told him it wasnt for sale at ANY price!!! She knew as I did, that I would have it FOREVER!! And I had it put in her name many years ago, so that there was no mistaking the fact that if something happened to me, it would be HERS!!!! :) Unfortunately, I have had a knee injury, and it hurts me to try to get in and out of it! :(.I am being scheduled for surgery soon, but the doctors say that my knee will never be the same! :( I never imagined ever selling this vehicle, and now I am afraid that I dont have much choice! :( My kids are sad, and so am I!!! My kids being 30 years have came to know it as family, but I am STUCK! I have to have something that I can drive that doesn't hurt me! :{ I have owned this truck for 20 years!! It has been a great truck! It is ALL original, including the paint!! It was always garaged until about 7 years ago! It even has the original red stickers that go down each side! :) As to NON-ORIGINAL: I had a 6 inch lift put on it along with 35 inch all terrain mud tires, chrome wheels and nerf bars all at one time at Les Schwab! That cost $4,000.00, but I have LOVED it! I also had a new Sony stereo system out in it that is the latest Ipod, Aux, etc.. I love being able to hook up my phone and listen to my favorite music! Other then these items, EVERYTHING is original! That includes the spare tire! It is a smaller tire, so if you were to need a spare I don't know if it would work?? I am a 53 year old woman, so I don't know a lot, but I wouldn't use it, it just makes sense that you should use the same size tires! The interior is free of any holes, rips, etc... It could use a good detail cleaning to bring it back up to new condition though. Its not BAD or anything, just a little dirty in places, especially in the back where you carry things! I use seat covers to protect the front seats, but I took them off for the pictures so that you can clearly see how great of condition that they are in! :) I just had a new battery put in it about 8 months ago. Then I just recently had the serpentine belt replaced, new sparks plugs put in it, and a complete oil change and other fluids as well as I have ALWAYS done! I know that I am going to cry when this truck is gone! :( All that I can do is hope that I will be able to get a truck that I will feel safe in that isn't lifted to where it hurts me, and will be as dependable as this truck has always been! :( The motor WAS replaced about 20,000 miles ago! My Son was 18 years old at the time, and sneaked out with my keys late one night and took it on a joy ride, in which he took it out on the freeway doing over 100 miles an hour in SECOND gear and toasted the motor! You just got to love teenagers! :( But my Ex is a mechanic and $4,000.00 later the motor was replaced, or it would still have been fine otherwise. It ALWAYS FLEW through DEQ!! Just like a new car he would tell me! :) It does need some little things! The silverplated rectangles on the doors that cover the screws have one missing on each door. The rear view mirror came off and needs to be put back on. I have the mirror and even a glue kit but just haven't gotten around to having someone put it back on. The glue probably just let go after so many years, but the mirror is PERFECT and just needs to be put back on! As to the body, my Daughter accidently backed into it once, and the passenger side rear bumper is pushed in a little. :( There has never been any SERIOUS accidents with my truck, but one time my Son in law had his car in the shop and I allowed him to take my truck to work, and he didn't see another car when he went to switch lanes, and got into an accident. The car was hurt, but the only thing that shows on my truck is a small little dent in the nerf bar and a small ripple in the passenger side door! You have to look close to see them, but I am just letting you know that they are there!! I am honest to a fault! The hood needs to be painted as well!! This paint job has lasted a LONG time, so I am not surprised with that! Black attracks HEAT anyway! This truck is equipped with 4 wheel drive, but it has NEVER been off the road, and I have really only used the 4x4 a few times when I HAD to drive in bad weather. I avoid driving in bad weather unless absolutely necessary! This vehicle is ALL POWER! The windows, including the back window are power, power disc brakes, and came LOADED from the factory! The AC does need to be recharged, and the button for the drivers side window recently broke on me! :( Its not a big deal, and one of my Sons said that he could take the door panel off and fix it if needed! He pushes on it a certain way, and the window rolls right down! The top IS removable, but I have never had it off!! I was told that once removed they could start leaking, but I didn't want to fade out the upholstery either! I like it looking new! :) Oh! I almost forgot! I DID have an aftermarket alarm put in it with auto-start was well! That was another $1,500.00, but that included buying an extra alarm pad for in case I were to lose one! It was done by Stereo King, and they uphold their products 1000%! There have been a few times that I have taken it back to them and they will take care of it at NO CHARGE no matter what! This last time the valet button was just getting old, so they replaced it with a NEW one with no charge! I will tell you that this alarm system is the best investment that I have EVER made! If not for the alarm system I would not have this TRUCK!!! The flashing blue light really lights UP at night, and I know that most people will ignore the ones that are alarmed, but with this vehicle there has been MANY attempts to steal it! It could be that it is an eye catcher, but I think that it is because it is SOOOO RARE!! I have had sooo many people asking questions! Even people with K5s! There are still plenty of K5s out there, but these Silverado packages are just about extinct! Matter of fact, insurance companies don't even have that classification in their computers anymore!~ They insure it as a V10!! That's the way that it reads on my insurance card! I just want you to be aware of the fact that this vehicle NEEDS to be alarmed of garaged to protect it! Or you WILL lose it! Due to this reason, I wont allow people to know exactly where I am! If someone wants to see it I will be happy to meet you somewhere in the area! But I wont allow someone to come to the house, just to protect it! This vehicle is built like a TANK, and is the LAST year of the BIG rigs! It will last someone a VERY long time!! I am still depressed that I am having to let it go! I NEVER thought that this day would come! :( Getting old and injuring myself wasn't ever expected! :( I hope that it will be babied as I have always done by it, and loved even HALF as much as I love it! Gee, when you add up the lift and tires/wheels, the new motor, and the alarm system, I am actually giving away the rest of the truck! But I will consider offers as well. If I think of anything elase that I might have forgotten, I will be sure to come back in and add it! I looked and saw that one a lot like it, minus the alarm system, and minus the lift and toyos that was in Portland sold for $91,000.00, so I guess I am about in the right category! I doubt that there will be many that will have this few of miles on it! Thanks for looking, and you take care and have a great day! :) |

Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show
Tue, Jan 13 2015At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.
Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe
Fri, Feb 12 2016The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan.

Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.
GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk
Thu, Jul 9 2015An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software.

The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.
