Hi, I'rm Dickie.I've been selling cars since I graduated from the University of Massachussets in 1974. I'm a Massachusetts licensed auto damage appraiser and I also do consulting work for people in this bad economy who find themselves in an accident where it is clearly their fault. I never buy trade-ins or cars people are getting rid of for any reason. Remember, especially in this economy, nobody gets rid of a good car. It has remote start, keyless entry dual exhaust fog lamps and more. I get a good laugh at dealers on Ebay who tell you "everything is in proper working order and don't worry, drive it anywhere". ( these are mostly used car dealers who do not drive them every day,if at all. Look at the mileage category on my car's title and on average my wife and I will put on at least another fifty plus miles before delivering them to the new owner. By the way,the first thing I look at before going any furthur is the undercarriage. I won't under any circumstances sell a rusted car. You have to know where to look. For example: Where the suspension bolts to the body, or on a full frame ( mostly a full size car whose rust and rot can be very obvious ). When I ran the shop ( we've leased it to some else now ) I repaired many of these cars. Some could not be repaired properly at any cost. I explained this fact and hoped they would have the knowledge to buy something that may be repaired properly and safely. Many times I checked out a car on behalf of my customer and saved them some hard earned money. Like all my cars, this one comes wtih a thirty day warranty. It covers the internal lubricated parts such as: engine, transmission, transfer case etc. Look at the fancy ads the new car dealers show and usually at the bottom in fine print they inform the bidders that they promise no warranty e.xpressed or implied. They are using ebay to get rid of those cars and the furthur out of state they go, the better. Please feel free anytime to call us for advice on transportation, methods of payment, offers. Sometimes we can get a good deal on a transporter. There are no hidden costs here. We will store your car here at no cost, giving you plenty of time to make your best arrangements. You will not be disappointed wit this car. Take care, Dickie.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Junkyard Gem: 1963 Dodge Dart two-door sedan

Mon, Mar 6 2017

The 1963-1966 Dodge Dart, sibling to the Plymouth Valiant, was sturdy, cheap, and easy to drive, and it sold very well. Here's a worn-but-solid example of the two-door '63 Dart sedan, spotted in a Denver-area self-service wrecking yard. The only transmission choices for the Dart this year were a three-speed manual and an automatic controlled by Chrysler's famous dash-mounted pushbutton shifter. These shifters worked surprisingly well, even when used for road racing. Starting in the 1964 model year, the Dart could be purchased with a 273-cubic-inch V8 engine, but in 1963 Dart buyers had but two engine choices: a slant-6 displacing 170 cubic inches and good for 101 horsepower and a slant-6 displacing 225 cubic inches and making 145 horsepower. This car has the big engine. This is one of the most reliable engines to come out of Detroit, period. The interior is pretty beat, but the metal isn't rusty. You'd think that someone would have rescued this car long before it came to this sorry end, but perhaps Dart restorers only want numbers-matching V8 cars these days.
