Condition Report

ENGINE: Runs on all six cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. Newer battery & good charging system, recent oil change. Starts easy and runs strong.

TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors.

EXTERIOR: Body: Body is in very nice shape with not a single ding down the sides - not even a door ding. No body rust ever which is no surprise as the body panels are plastic. Above average body. Paint: Paint is nice and shiny everywhere. All original paint. Only flaws are a few touch up spots on hood and a very small scratch under left taillight. Way above average for 20 years old - nicer than most 5 year old cars. Other: Lower plastic trim is extremely nice without scratches or fading. I did NOT Armor All the lower plastic - it's as shiny and nice as it looks. Front right corner lens has a chip that does not result in a leak into the lens - it's just chipped where the design meets the headlight. All glass is good - no cracks or chips. Undercarriage is just perfectly beautiful with NO rust - see the many pics. Underhood is nice. Aluminum wheels are in excellent shape.

INTERIOR: Interior of the car is in very nice shape as you'd expect of the low miles. The only complaint is some very minor staining on the driver's side carpet and one overhead courtesy lamp lens is missing. Dash has no cracks, cloth seating areas are in perfect shape, cargo deck carpet in great shape, third seat like new, headliner is nice with no sagging or fading, steering wheel is in nice shape, door panels are nice with no cracks or fading. No smoke or pet odors. I think it's evident from the condition that this was what the title shows - an older, female owner: car was not used like most minivans to haul the fam all over. Exceptional interior.

ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, horn, wipers, etc.) All the power options work including power windows, power locks, hot heat front and rear, tilt, cruise, am/fm stereo cassette, power sliding rear door, rear wiper, keyless entry, intermittent wipers, and rear defroster. Needs A/C compressor - I have a newer compressor and will install and make air blow cold for additional $400. Compressor goes with car if you choose to do it yourself. Note that if the sliding door is closed manually, the "side door ajar" light comes on but if the power slider is used, it does not - either power or manual, the door does latch correctly.

DRIVEABILITY: Drives out nicely. Steering is tight, alignment is good, suspension is tight. Brakes work well with good linings. Tires have about 80% tread remaining rear, 60% front, on a matched set of blackwall radials. Solid, quiet exhaust with no leaks. Check engine light is not lit (except at start up as it should.) No complaints - drive anywhere.

Short version terms: Small non-refundable deposit as listed (but fast) by Paypal within 24 hours. Balance due in 5 days by cash in person, wire transfer, or Wells Fargo cashier's check. Will meet you or your transporter at my location by appointment after 6 pm weekdays or anytime weekends. No administrative fee on this auction. Any other costs - tax, emissions inspection, registration, shipping, etc. are buyer's responsibility - see full terms. 30 days to pick up. Temporary tags available at local license bureau on weekdays. WILL PICK YOU UP AT THE CHARLESTON, SC INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT weekday evenings or any time weekends. Inspections are strongly encouraged, but by appointment only - please email or call. By bidding, you agree you are satisfied with the item description. Note that pickup times are by appointment only also - just call! Prepaid vehicles scheduled for transport can be picked up any time with at least 24 business hours' notice - have your driver call me. I'm happy to drive the car to a nearby large parking lot for easier truck loading. See my about me page for full terms.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
