See all pictures: 2004 Chevy Van

2004 Chevy Express LS full size (not extended body), 12 passenger van, modified inside (to a lesser degree) to a 5 passenger. I bought it new with a list price of $32,700, it has a $2800 1SB extra package with power options and other extras (I show the original sticker price window tag and other factory paperwork, showing all options, in the pictures). The van has 128,817 miles on it, I have never had any problem with the engine, drive train or anything major except for the transmission...in case it matters, it went very quickly...within 100? miles after showing signs. The only reason I am not fixing it is because I just dont have the money and I dont need the work aspect of the van anymore.
The 6.0 Liter Vortec motor has been regularly serviced at about 6,000 mile intervals. The brakes were recently done completely (every single break part was replaced! at the cost of $2200, by a long time trusted mechanic), this was only needed due to the weight I was carrying. It had normal break work done a little sooner than usual but again, the weight was a factor, there is nothing wrong with them and all functions of the van are fine at this point, its ready to go, after the transmission, of course.

It is a 1 ton or a 3500 (the heaviest load capacity available) and it has heavy duty springs which are not tired, it still sits as new. The motor is very strong, even with the weight, it was very powerful. The rear end is heavy duty locking and has a 3.73 gear ratio and leaks no oil, nor does the engine or transmission. The engine starts right up, sounds normal, the muffler system was also largely replaced fairly recently, there are no odd sounds coming from the motor or anywhere else (you can start it up when you look at it of course). I always had whatever it needed done right away.
The only other problem is with the side doors, I had them fixed once and was only charged $100 (but apparently that was because it was a quick fix which didnt last that long). Apparently they need hinge pins, the hinges are not bent or damaged but the gap between the doors is very close and I dont use them because it got so difficult to get them closed after a while...I recommend not opening them until you are ready to fix the problem. I even disengaged the locks (just by blocking the connection in the door jamb) so they wouldnt unlock and get opened. I would think it shouldn't be a very expensive repair but I never pursued it either. One of the extras that come with the van is a spray can of the same paint color, I show a touch up in the pics over the back wheel well which just started to rust due to a past scrape (I didnt even bondo it, I just sanded it) and you dont even see it unless you really look. There havent been any accidents requiring body work, just bumper related stuff...The headlights had that typical haze which reduces the brightness so I just installed new headlights and all the lights work. I replaced the wipers, the battery was fairly new but I am told when it sits and is not used all the time it go dead, so dont count on much there. When I hook up the jumper cables it starts right up after a minutes time. There is only one key but I have spare remote start/lock remotes as well as the original key-less entry remotes. I have all paperwork to everything, Stereo parts, radio, amps, speakers, roof racks etc., as well as the vans manual and other paperwork.
The van, being a 12 passenger, had rear A/C and heat in separate units with separate switches. The heater took up important space in the back (and neither was needed) and the A/C unit which was located inside the rear doors on the ceiling, and there wasnt enough room to stand up sheets of plywood, so I had to remove that as well. The removal of these 2 units was done professionally and the systems were adjusted under the hood to allow for the removed units. This was done soon after I bought it and I have never had any problem with the heat or A/C. Because the A/C unit was removed, there is a piece of the head lining missing inside the rear doors, which doesnt affect anything..that is shown in the pictures.
Here are some other details which only really pertain if you intend to use the van...there is a nice Nevlen metal cabinet/rack on the left side, there are 24 drawers and a couple new extra drawers and dividers. The cabinet is very secure and I just made sure the screws were all tightened up as well for noise etc. Also, to avoid anyone seeing all the tools in the cabinet (even though the glass is already dark), I painted the inside of the long rear window black, it does not show from the outside, or the inside for that matter. This latex paint will come off with a razor blade easy enough and I did it neatly in case it wasnt needed anymore.
There is a full size spare under the rear or the van, the jack is all there and an additional 4-way tire iron.The rear brake lights have been replaced with aftermarket lights...One light broke and it was too difficult to find a replacement and too costly to buy one from the dealer. The rear door handle, from the inside, is loose or maybe even broken but still works, and the rear door panels which I had removed and stored could stand some new clips or a few small screws if you wanted it to hold on better, it doesnt fall of but is loose (I can do that if you want...with small screws that is). The body is sound but there are a few minor dents but they are not big enough to stand out really, you can see every part of the van in the pictures. There is no rust to speak of, the front bumper is dented but I straightened it out and evened it up, and it can be replaced, of course. The interior is very clean and complete, no damage etc. On the passenger side airbag the dash is bubbled a bit, it came like that from the factory. Basically I took very good care of the van, I never even got stuck with a breakdown.
There is some extra incidentals (not shown) that will be included plus all the paperwork for, and anything to do with the van (racks, stereo etc).
The 'System One' roof rack system is top shelf, I paid $600 for the rack system itself and it served me well. It is all aluminum and stainless steel which is why it is still so nice. It has 4 ratcheting tie downs which are easy to use, quick and effective. It comes with 4 wrenches...I show inside the drivers door, where I store one wrench on each side, they fit perfectly in this spot and are easy to get and you always have one on either side. I also have all the optional parts that I didnt use, ladder pegs etc.
As for payment...cash is preferred, of course...also, please dont attempt to pick things apart to get the agreed price down, everything is shown or explained and I just wont do it unless it happens to be very reasonable. I am located in Woburn MA 01801 Phone: Dave 617 780 9879. I am available most anytime for you to pick it up. Dont hesitate to ask any questions and thanks for looking.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There 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.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth 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.
