See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Bad engine; knocking rod. serious body damage to right side"

Hydro-locked engine! My son drove through a deep puddle during a storm and the engine sucked water through the air intake. We had the car towed home, pulled the plugs, turned the motor over to pump out the water, drained the crankcase, then put in fresh oil, oil filter and new Denso plugs. The car started, but has the sort of knocking indicative of a bent rod. I figure that the engine would blow if we tried to drive at much over idle speed, so it is still parked in front of my house.

As to the body damage; my son was driving and an elderly gentleman side-swiped him. We took the payout from the insurance company instead of having the body repair done, and my son kept driving the car until this incident with the water. Looking at the photo, you will see that the dents include the front fender and both doors on that side. I primed the damage shortly after the accident to avoid rust. Since the accident, there has been an issue with the power locks sometimes failing.

What's good:

transmission has always work perfectly and still has less than 80k
New battery in June
4 Goodrich tires with less than 5,000 miles on matching 15" Chevy aluminum rims
Belt replaced in June
Has the optional airbags and none have ever been activated
A/C, stereo and power windows work well.

Chevy Gives World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner A Recalled Truck

Thu, Oct 30 2014

Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the YearÂ™ awards. The Green Truck of the YearÂ™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the YearÂ™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the YearÂ™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
