Please email me with any questions or requests for additional pics or something specific at: lonnie.lovaglio@vfemail.net .
This car is completely stock, with the exception of the 19” VMR rims, Bridgestone pole
position S04 summer tires, and upgraded brakes I bought and added to car. The rims/tires were $2000 (I have
receipt) and I have the original rims. It still drives comfortably and there's excellent grip on the street. The
only other change I made were the brakes, I put slotted and cross drilled rotors with carbon fiber/ceramic brake
pads on the car. It had okay braking before, now it stops very quickly. I have title in hand with NO liens.

Emissions Test passed -required in Illinois, good until 9/17
The transmission was replaced with a brand new (not rebuilt!) one at 6,000 miles (2nd gear syncro defect) at Gary
Lang Auto, so it truly only has 33,700 miles. I’ve changed the oil every 1000-2000 miles with only Mobil One
fully synthetic. A couple months ago I put in 15,000 mile Mobil One Fully Synthetic, it has about 500 miles on it.
The A/C runs perfect, car shifts great, clutch works perfectly, and the engine runs excellent. Exhaust is in
great condition. The bottom side of this car looks great. The interior looks brand new. The trunk is in perfect
condition, and under the hood this car looks great. The spare tire (yes full-size spare), Jack, lug wrench are
still in-tact. The new wheels/tires are still in perfect condition with about 500 miles on them. The previous
owner kept it in a garage year-round and drove it 3k miles a year in the summer. This car has been well kept.
I’ve owned it for around 2 years and put 3k miles a year on it. For the past year I’ve only drive it on sunny
summer days on the weekend. When I first bought it, I had to drive it one month in the snow, which of course, I
washed it daily if there was snow on the ground; I had an indoor heated garage with car wash bay, so I could clean
under the wheel wells and power wash the underside. I assure you, no salt/snow has damaged this cars integrity in
the month it was driven in February ‘14. Since I’ve owned it, I stored inside the center of a concrete garage
with the car cover on it, so it never sees dust, let alone the outdoor elements.
This is an adult driven car, the only reason I’m selling this car is my new job doesn’t require I travel
anywhere, so it’s only getting 15 miles a month on it in the spring/summer/fall. It’s waste to just store the
car, this car is in top notch condition and ready to drive cross country or anywhere else for that matter.
Extra things included with car:
-Brand new OEM fob and cut-key, just needs to be coded (you can do it w/o taking it to dealership)
-OEM Wheels with snow tires and new valve stems, balanced with stick on weights - $700 (valve stems and balance
another $132) for snow tires with 70% tread left -Dunlop Wintermaxx XL

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
