2002 CHEVY CORVETTE ZO6   LOWEST MILEAGE IN THE US?

 

Gorgeous black on black ZO6 Corvette with 1681 original miles.  Car has 405 horsepower, 6 speed manual transmission, and heads-up visual display. Fantastic condition as you can imagine based on the mileage. This Vette has been garaged in Colorado its entire life and has never once seen rain or snow. (Colorado is a very dry climate so any type of rust is generally not an issue for metal parts.) 

 

This ZO6 sits under a car cover in an attached three car garage. It has never been left in direct sunshine for any significant period of time so fading or oxidation have not occurred. I regularly run the car; move its position; and generally maintain it very well. (In another lifetime I was a mechanic). It has never needed any kind of repairs since I’ve owned it, and I don’t believe that the original owner had any repairs either.

 

I purchased this ZO6 from the original owner with 1100 miles in 2004. I am the second owner and have pampered this car for the past 10 years. I don’t want to try to give you the little old lady who drove it to church once a week routine, but the longest ride I ever took in the car was when I bought it home in 2004.

 

I am not doing much describing of the vehicle itself, because what can I really say. The car is beautiful. I hesitate to use words like “perfect”, “immaculate”, and “mint”, but I have put less than 600 miles on the car in over 10 years. I really believe it still has the new car smell.

 

The engine compartment still has all of the manufacturer’s paper tags on the hoses and tubing that generally fall off a new car in a few months of daily driving. As far as modifications, I have not made any. The tires are original; the interior is unblemished; the paint is beautiful; and of course it runs great. The only equipment change was replacing the battery last year. (I would think this is expected from a 13 year old car.)

 

Finally, I want to apologize for the pictures themselves, but photography is clearly not one of my strong skills. I just don’t do this very much. I was told after I took the pictures that I should not have taken them in bright light. Oh well…   The pictures are not so great but the car is real nice.

 

I will be sure to include the original owner’s manual, car cover, and the promotional VCR tape which Chevy provided with the car in 2002.

 

If you have any questions or if you want me to describe anything more about the car please feel free to call Charlie at 3O3.9O4.96I4.

 

My requested terms of sale are as follows:    $1000 deposit within 72 hours through PayPal, with the balance paid within 5 days by bank check. I will not release the vehicle until the check has fully cleared my bank.

 

Vehicle pickup and transport is the coordination and financial responsibility of the purchaser, but I will certainly do what I can to assist.   Thank you.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

2019 Toyota Corolla vs. compact hatchbacks: How they compare

Mon, Apr 30 2018

So you've read what we thought about the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. Oh, you didn't? Well, click to your left, we'll still be here. Just made some coffee, we're good for a while. Welcome back! Wasn't that riveting? The blue paint sure is bright, eh? Well, now you must be wondering how that new 2019 Corolla stacks up with all the other hatchbacks. And, despite long thinking that hatchbacks were doomed, there are actually quite a lot of them these days. So many, in fact, that we couldn't fit them all in our space-limited comparison chart. So, with apologies to the Hyundai Elantra GT, Kia Forte and the dead-man-walking Ford Focus, these were the cars we chose based on sales and competitiveness: the Honda Civic Hatchback, Mazda3 5-Door, Volkswagen Golf, Chevrolet Cruze and Subaru Impreza. We also included the outgoing Corolla iM for reference. If you think we've left something of interest out, you can always create your own comparison. Performance and fuel economy There is but one king here, and its name is Civic. While the sedan and coupe come with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter 158-horsepower four-cylinder that's less potent than the Corolla's, the hatchback comes standard with the 1.5-liter turbo that aces the segment in terms of both acceleration and fuel economy. The Golf's acceleration should be comparable, but as you can see, it trails on fuel economy (still not bad, though). The new Corolla ends up being better than the rest with its new 168-hp four-cylinder paired to novel transmissions: a six-speed manual with rev-matched downshifting (!) and a CVT that mimics the actions of a 10-speed automatic. The Corolla does weigh more than everything else, though, so that could hamper its acceleration. Fuel economy data also wasn't announced, but Toyota indicated it would be a bit better than the old Corolla iM. Something akin to the 2.0-liter Mazda 3's numbers seems likely. As for the Mazda, its top two trim levels actually come standard with its bigger engine. In any event, despite its ample power, testing has often showed that the Civic is still the quicker car from 0 to 60 mph. And finally, let's not leave out the two on the end. The Subaru is the only car in the segment that offers all-wheel drive (the Focus RS and Golf R don't count), but is also the segment weakling now that the Corolla iM has been discontinued.

Here’s how 20 popular EVs fared in cold-weather testing in Norway

Sat, Mar 21 2020

Electric vehicles are known to suffer diminished performance in cold weather, but some do a better job than others hanging onto their range capacity while cabin heaters and frigid outdoor temperatures sap power from their batteries. Recently, the Norwegian Automobile Federation put the 20 of the best-selling battery-electric vehicles in the country to the test, to see not only how winter weather affected their range but also their charging times. The major findings: On average, electric vehicles lost 18.5% of their official driving range as determined by the European WLTP cycle. Electric vehicles also charge more slowly in cold temperatures. And interestingly, the researchers learned that EVs don’t simply shut down when they lose power but instead deliver a series of warnings to the driver, with driving comfort and speed levels maintained until the very last few miles. Because itÂ’s Norway, the worldÂ’s top market for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles by market share, the test included many EVs that arenÂ’t available here in the U.S. But there are many familiar faces, among them the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Models S, 3 and X, Hyundai Kona (known here as the Kona Electric) and Ioniq, and Audi E-Tron. In terms of range, the top-performing EV was the Hyundai Kona, which lost only 9% of its official range, which the WTLP rated at 449 kilometers, or 279 miles, compared to its EPA-rated range of 258 miles on a full charge. It delivered 405 km, just enough to nudge it ahead of the Tesla Model 3, which returned 404 km. Other top performers included the Audi E-Tron, in both its 50 Quattro (13% lower range) and higher-powered 55 Quattro (14% lower) guises; the Hyundai Ioniq (10% lower); and Volkswagen e-Golf (11% lower). At 610 km (379 miles) the Tesla Model S has the longest WLTP range of all models tested and went the furthest, but still lost 23% of its range, though it also encountered energy-sapping heavy snow at the end of its test, when many cars had dropped out. The Model 3 lost 28% of its range. The worst performer? That goes to the Opel Ampera-e, better known stateside as the Chevrolet Bolt. It traveled 297 km (about 184 miles) in the test, which was nearly 30% lower than its stated WLTP range. We should also note that Opel, now owned by Groupe PSA, is phasing the car out in Europe and that Chevy recently upgraded the Bolt here in the U.S.
