Marblehead, Massachusetts, United States

Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix 2003, GT model (Same as Toyota XRS).   Yamaha-manufactured 1.8 liter engine makes 180 hp @8200 rpm with six-speed transmitssion - car will reallly move!  Car has most available accessories for year, including sun roof, roof rack, power windows, locks (with remote) and mirrors, side curtain airbags, cd changer, AC, anti-locki brakes, etc. 

 

131k miles, excellent overall condition for age. This car has been rock-solid, bulletproof trouble free for me during 75000 miles and five years.  Oil changes, tires, battery and brake pads - that's it.  It is amazing what it can carry with the fold-flat passenger front seat.  Unlike the newer models the rear window opens separately from the hatch for even longer stuff. 

 

There are a few things to mention:  the car is ten years old.  It has a minor ding on the driver's door under the GT symbol (photo) and the rear bumper cover has been bumped in the right corner so the back-up light now points up.  (Good for spotting low-flying planes while backing up)  It might be possible to pop it out.  There is a stain on the rear passenger side seat (photo). The plastic splash shield in front of the left front tire is split.  Other than that, the car is pretty clean and mechanically excellent.  Tires probably average about 40 % and the aluminum wheels are in average condition for age.

 

This is a no-reserve auction - I won't waste your time with hidden "reserves" or unrealistic buy it now prices.  You tell me what it's worth!  The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells locally.  $500 deposit withing24 hours, balance in seven days.  I might be able to cooperate in delivery from Boston area under mutuallly negotiated terms.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following 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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
