THIS IS A 1996 CHEVY ASTRO CARGO VAN. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER IN 1996. MECHANICS SPECIAL BECAUSE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED FROM VEHICLE FOR REBUILD. MECHANIC FRIEND REMOVED AND DISASSEMBLED TRANSMISSION THEN FELL ILL. TRANSMISSION IS CURRENTLY IN A BOX IN THE CARGO AREA OF THE VAN WAITING FOR RE BUILD AND RE INSTALLATION. I WOULD NOT BE SELLING VAN IF FRIEND WAS HEALTHY ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE JOB. VAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN RELIABLE AND CURRENTLY RUNS GOOD AND A/C WORKS ALSO. MILEAGE SHOWN IS ACTUALLY MUCH LESS BECAUSE SINCE ABOUT 1997, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS RUN AT TWICE NORMAL SPEED AND SHOWING TWICE ACTUAL SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN IT READS 60 MPH, YOU ARE REALLY GOING 30 MPH. SO IT HAS ADDED 2X MILEAGE ON TO THE ODOMETER. IT WILL OBVIOUSLY NEED TO BE TOWED BUT ANYONE WITH TRANSMISSION KNOWLEDGE CAN REPAIR AND RE INSTALL IT. HAS THE USUAL SCRATCHES AND DENTS FOR A VEHICLE ITS AGE BUT ALWAYS BEEN A RELIABLE WORK TRUCK. PICK UP ONLY. CLEAR NJ TITLE.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
