This Chevy Cavalier is in fair condition and runs.  Could be a good weekend car for a student or high-schooler.  I've had this car since I was 16, so it hasn't changed hands at all in the last seven years.  Realistically, although I hope this car goes to a good home, I realize that sometimes Cavaliers are sought after for parts as well.  I'm selling the car because I'm moving across the country and won't need it anymore.  


The Kelly Blue Book value on a vehicle in this condition is $939.  Fair condition includes a couple minor issues this Cavalier has: there is a slow oil leak, but the vehicle has NOT been treated with coagulants (as we know some owners prefer not to use them) which may solve the issue.  The third brake light (the one in the middle) has a short in it, but this is not one of the brake lights that is legally required to function in order for the car to be driven (all the lights that are required to function work just fine).  The frame is rusted  (in addition to some cosmetic rust damage) and there are several dents.   We don't know if the car will pass emissions, as Indiana does not require us to do that.  The ignition has never failed to come on so far, but it sometimes requires two or three turns of the key.  In addition to the rust on the frame, there is some rust on the underbody as well.   The car is being sold as-is with no guarantees, but has been driven 100 miles from Indianapolis to St. Louis several times this year with no problems.   

All that having been said, the car runs and will get you from A to B.  

The car was purchased from Crown Auto Brokers in 2004.  I purchased it from that buyer in 2006.  
The radiator and radiator hoses were replaced with more durable metal parts in 2007.  
The alternator was replaced in 2011.  
The car passed a safety inspection in 2012, although the frame being rusted was noted.  

Again, I can confirm that the car runs - I just drove it today.  I really hope it goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did!  

Sincerely,
Caitlin (the owner)

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.

2016 Lamborghini Huracan at the Horse Thief Mile | AutoblogVR

Tue, Sep 13 2016

AutoblogVR returns to the Horse Thief Mile in the Mojave Desert to put the Lamborghini Huracan to the test. It's everything we want a modern supercar to be: Powerful, striking in appearance, and a riot to drive. But does it live up to Lamborghini's unique performance heritage? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reviews the Huracan on Horse Thief's unyielding curves and elevation changes to find out. Meanwhile, Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin reviews a different kind of performance car – the Chevy SS at the IndyCar circuit on Detroit's Belle Isle. He's ably assisted by ace driver Simon Pagenaud. You must watch his hot lap! The SS is old-school V8 American muscle wrapped in Australian design and engineering. This AutoblogVR segment also launches on the app Sept. 13, and the teaser follows the Huracan preview above. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
