2012 Chevrolet Equinox LS. Used, one owner, non-smoker car. Purchased new a little over two years ago. Only reason for selling, is because my wife and I have two kids, and are about to gain custody of her sisters two kids as well, and we need a bigger vehicle. Car has been great, only had one small warranty issue that the dealership fixed. Some kind of engine sensor went bad. Has been serviced by the dealership since day one. A lifetime, full service plan was purchased with the vehicle, and I'll see if I can get the dealership to transfer that to the new owner. Does come with a membership card for free roadside assistance, towing, lockout, key replacement, and travel services.

All owners manuals are still in car, and both key/keyless entry fobs. Has three 12v power outlets, one in rear cargo area, one in center console, with stereo aux input, and on in the front console. Full driver information system, shows tire pressures, two trip odometers, average/instantaneous MPG, average speed, etc. Has bluetooth connectivity, hands-free calling, On-star, XM radio(Subscription is good for another 3 months at least) MP3/CD, AC blows cold, heat works great. Power windows/locks, drivers power seat.

Rear seat slides forward, and folds down. Tons of cargo room in the back. Dealer installed floormats front and rear. Spare tire/jack/lug wrench have never been removed. Something under the spare still covered in bubble wrap.

2.4L ecotech motor, and 6spd auto transmission. Gets great fuel mileage, averages around 30-32 on the freeway, and 20-25 in town. Vehicle average says 24.4 right now, with 30 mph average speed. Great looking 17" wheels, with Michelin P225/65 Latitude tires. Plenty of tread left, always rotated on schedule by dealership.

Car has never been in any sort of accident, and never had any major work done. The only real defects are small paint/body cosmetics. Pictures show the front end has a few paint nicks, and scuffs on the lower valence from parking curbs and such. The back of the center console shows some small scuffs, and the door panels have a few as well.

I'm going to talk to the dealership tomorrow to see if the paint issues can be fixed under warranty, and to see if the service plan will transfer. I am also going to see if they will inspect it and give me some kind of "certified pre-owned" document, since I'm sure they would resell it as such if I traded it in to them. I will update this listing once I talk to them about the above items.

The car is still under warranty. The basic warranty is 3yr/36,000 miles, and the powertrain is at least 5 years/100,000 miles. My dealership offers a lifetime powertrain warranty, but I will have to check with them to see if that transfers to a new owner.

Hagerty kicks back with Ringbrothers for a look at the Recoil

Sat, May 2 2015

Over the years, Ringbrothers has shown the ability to mix a meticulous eye for style and serious amounts of horsepower with customs like the Pantera-based Adrnln. The company's recent project, a tuned 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle called Recoil, is some of its best work yet and already has Jay Leno's denim-clad stamp of approval. Now, Hagerty is taking a look, while digging into the history of the actual Ring brothers: Mike and Jim. The two guys grew up in a small town where owning a car was practically a necessity, and the brothers were already wrenching before they could even legally drive. Eventually, that passion grew into a business, which led to wonderfully customized performance vehicles like the Recoil. Hagerty gets a fascinating look into Ringbrothers tuning philosophy in its interview. Of course, the real interest lies in this custom Chevelle, and there's a chance to hear the absolutely ferocious sound from the Recoil's supercharged V8 in this clip.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels

Sat, Dec 20 2014

The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.

2.0-liter turbo four reportedly returning to Chevrolet Equinox line-up for 2022

Fri, Oct 2 2020

Chevrolet's popular Equinox crossover will enter the 2021 model year with comprehensive updates and a turbocharged, 1.5-liter four-cylinder as its only available engine. The 2.0-liter turbo four offered through 2020 is allegedly leaving the line-up, but it will be replaced for 2022 with a newer engine that produces slightly less power while returning better fuel economy, according to a recent report. Called LSY internally, the new 2.0-liter turbo four already powers the Cadillac XT4, among other models in the General Motors portfolio. Enthusiast website GM Authority learned it will deliver 237 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 258 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm. For context, the 2.0-liter available through 2020 (known as LTG) made 252 horses and 260 pound-feet of twist, and the 1.5-liter posts figures of 170 and 203, respectively. As a trade-off for the slight drop in horsepower and torque, the LSY is smoother, quieter and cleaner than the LTG it replaces. Transmission options remain unconfirmed, but the four-cylinder will likely shift through a nine-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive will come standard, and all-wheel drive will be offered at an extra cost. Chevrolet hasn't commented on the report; it hasn't even confirmed the Equinox is losing the LTG engine for 2021. If the rumor is accurate, details about the 2022 Equinox should be released during the first half of 2021. GM Authority added the GMC Terrain, which is closely related to the Equinox, will receive the new engine for 2022 as well. Both should have gotten it for 2021, but the on-going global pandemic delayed its launch. Related Video:
