  • I bought this car at the end of January of 2013.

This Pennsylvania Department of Transportation title copy is dated 7/20/11 and it has odometer miles showing as 016182 on that date. i.e. 16,182 miles. This confirms the low mileage reading.

  • This car now has a clear/clear Oregon Vehicle Certificate of Title.

  • I believe this car has never been wrecked, including anything minor.

  • My mechanic says this car is very clean in the engine bay and the under side of the car it was very clean with no rust and little road wear. That was the first thing I had checked since the car came to us from Pennsylvania.

  • In 2013, we paid a professional auto detail shop to have the under side of this car power washed and then a preventative undercoating was applied. We decided to do this to prevent any rust from happening ………the coating that was applied provides an added barrier between the underside of the car and the road/rocks/debris, which keeps the inside of the car ride slightly quieter, too.

  • All items below were done at a professional mechanic shop with ASE certified mechanics and all work is one year guaranteed at nationwide NAPA Auto Centers.

  • 2013 – Coolant Fluid Serv Extd Afrz – Back flush cooling system, add anti freeze to specs, pressure test system &rad cap, checked thermostat & elec fan operation.

  • 2013 – replaced battery & terminal protection pieces.

  • 2013 – I decided that now matter how much I hand washed the front bumper, that it had a dirty white look/tone that was like tea stained teeth. So I had a local auto body and paint shop take off the front bumper and factory bumper stripes off of the bumper and then had it repainted whiter shade to better match the actual color of the car's original paint. Over twenty two years the front plastic bumper over 16K miles of travel had faded and darkened a different shade of color than the car. So I had the front bumper removed, then repainted and re-striped to a more uniform color look. The front bumper (or this car) has never been wrecked or dinged. The front bumper is the only part on the car that is not the original paint. But it looks better now than before I had got it re-painted.

  • 2013 - New front license plate frame/support piece for the front license plate - we also had it painted the exact white color of front bumper.

  • 2013 – Replaced broken/worn shift cables – replaced two custom made heim joint shifter cables, drilled oem fasteners, modified and fabricated connections as needed, adjusted and performance test as required to confirm integrity of repair. Replaced 4 new clips.

  • 2013 - Brake Inspection – test drove and removed all four wheels, inspected integrity of brake fluid, inspected master cylinder for leakage, Inspected brake lines front and rear, inspected for brake leakage, investigated rear auto adjusters and adjustment.

  • 2013 – resealed shift gear

  • Car has never been smoked in. In fact, I think it still slightly has that ‘new GM car smell’ inside.

  • Car is something that the former owner represented to be in mint condition, etc….the reality truth is that this is a very nice original condition car.....but is not perfect mint condition. But very nice. Previous owner also made claim that this low mile rare car will increase in value over time. I am not sure if that is the case or not. I do know these are real hard to find like this in real good condition with such low actual miles. But what I have learned is when you do get a nice low miles car that is older, most need new tires right away and then more (see above items I have done in 2013, for example) to get the car actually functioning and operating as well a it looks and feels.

  • No windshield cracks, no dash cracks that I see. I have brought this car up a level or two from the level it was at when I got it at the 16K mileage level.

  • Have the factory floor mats.

  • I do drive the car on occasional sunny afternoons every week or two just to keep everything working and flowing well. So there may be up to a hundred or two hundred more miles added, depending on if and when it sells.

  • There are two 1992 factory Chevy Lumina Service Manuals/books in the trunk. These books from 1992, book 1 and book 2, are each a couple inches thick. These books are specific to the Chevy Z34 model and each have tons of illustrations and literally spells out every detail part of this car’s body and engine. Great for future repair shop quick reference, or for plan B reference if you/they don’t have the info electronically as plan A.

  • Original factory owner’s manual booklet from GM is in the glove box.

  • The car comes with three pairs of original sets of GM keys – ignition and doors/trunk keys.

  • All lights work, everything works as it should, down to the unused cigarette lighter.

  • Reason for selling : an unforeseen recent IRS tax bill is due for us this year, so we are selling our collector car. Absolutely hate to see it go, was hoping to keep and enjoy this for a long time. But IRS is needing our $ this year soon, so car must go up for sale to raise funds. No trades.

  • Our family has invested over $15,000 in this car in total. The $13,900 ebay 'Buy it now price' sells this car for us at a loss of a couple thousand $ when all is said and done. We'll make no profit on this eBay sale compared to the grand total $ we have invested in the car to date.

Fullsize GM SUVs have a problem that's making owners sick

Thu, Dec 31 2015

Some fullsize SUV owners are getting sick, thanks to a buffeting and vibration problem in 2015 model year examples of the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, and GMC Yukon. According to owners' complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue can vary from an annoying vibration inside the cabin to an experience so severe that it leads to dizziness and headaches. General Motors is aware of the complaints, but the fix isn't so simple. According to spokesperson Tom Wilkinson to Autoblog, the company "has been tracking this issue for a while." The problem has a fairly low incidence rate, but when it does occur the issue can be "uncomfortable and annoying for owners." There's no precise cause for the issue, Wilkinson claims, and in some cases, simply balancing the tires or changing the door seals can make it go away. However, not all of the fixes are so simple. AutoGuide dug deep into the problem and discovered a GM preliminary information bulletin that advised dealers to remove the headliner and to check the roof's bonds to the bows that go across the vehicle. However, that document included a note that the solution might not entirely eliminate things. According to AutoGuide, adding Dynamat insulation to the roof sometimes helped the problem. A GM spokesperson also told AutoGuide the company fixed the problem at the end of the 2015 model year, and didn't go into any more detail. This roof issue seems linked to some of the worst droning in these SUVs. According to one complaint from a 2015 Suburban owner to NHTSA: "Roof will not remain attached to the roof bows. This causes the buffeting similar to a window being down when all are up. The results span from annoying to painful." A 2015 Yukon owner claims to have another alleged cause for the problem in a NHTSA complaint from February 2015. This person brought their SUV to the dealer seven times over the course of four weeks for vibrations. The dealer replaced the driveshaft, suspension components, and more, but nothing worked. According to an engineer to the service adviser: "In an effort to prevent roll overs, they designed the frame and body mounts too stiff. There are 40 engineers working on issues, they have no solutions that work across the board." Wilkinson told Autoblog that GM is working with customers on an individual basis to rectify things. Since these are newer vehicles, dealers should also fix the problem under warranty.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans 

Thu, Apr 30 2020

Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.
