This has been and still is a great running car. My son used it to drive to college and/or work at least 4-5 days per week.

There is less than 82,000 miles on the car. He maintained it regularly with the mechanic that takes care of all our vehicles.

I can provide the mechanics information and you can speak to me or the mechanic directly regarding this car.

The mechanic has referred this car to a couple customers, so it may not make it to the end of auction. It could be sold early locally.

THE GOOD!

The engine is great and very dependable, gets really good MPG, has no leaks and runs as it should. All maintenance is up to date.

We just installed a new Catalytic Converter ($400) so it would pass smog here in California. Smog will be completed prior to your pick up.

The brakes are good and the transmission shifts smooth through all the automatic gears. The Air Conditioner blows very cold.

There is no chips or cracks in the glass. The interior looks good, it has dark gray stain resistant fabric with a split fold down rear seat.

It drives straight and true as it travels down the road. Alignment recently done. Our mechanic was not concerned about the vehicle's history report.

All the electrical items work: turn signals- headlights - outlets - interior lights.

The Not So Good!

As indicated there is a salvage title, not a big deal on an older car at this price. The previous damage was contained to the front end and repaired.

Our mechanic has inspected the car numerous times and does not see the damage indicated on the history report.

There have been a few other minor incidents to the grill and fenders. We have replaced the fenders. The grill can use more work.

There are a few dents in the hood from a group of kids that wanted to make some noise on New Years Eve. The hood has a few dents in the metal.

There are a couple small cracks in the plastic where the sun hits the dash. But the rest of the dash looks pretty good.

There are a couple bumper stickers and a magnet that did not come off as they should have (a residue is stuck on the rear fender).

Like I said, We call this the "Blue Shrek"!! Not so good looking, but a strong heart with a great attitude.

This would be a good car for a student or someone that needs a dependable car for driving around.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter

Thu, Nov 6 2014

We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan

Wed, Mar 15 2017

GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones Â– timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.
