1996 GMC Safari SLE

I am the second owner and have had this Safari Van for over 5 years. It has been a great vehicle for me. It is in good running condition, is reliable.  All the warning lights on the dash are clear. I recently put on all new brakes and an emergency brake cable, plus 2 new matching Kumho Solus tires on the rear. The front tires are good. The engine runs great and the tranny shifts smooth. I am a car guy and personally changed the motor oil often and have had the tranny serviced twice. I do this to insure smooth and long lasting operation on all my vehicles. It has a fairly new Sears Diehard Gold 100 battery. The 120,000 miles are low for the vehicle. 

The SLE model is a top model and has adjustable lumbar support on the driver and passenger seats which are power. Cruise control, intermittent wipers. Rear A/C and Heat. Premium sound. It has 1 Captain’s Chair in the 2nd row and the 3rd row seat folds down for extra loading. All the rear seats are easily removable if you need gigantic cargo space. It has a roof console with reading lights, storage, thermometer and compass. It has tinted rear and side windows, which open. The roof rack and tow hitch are included, to make it extra handy.

The body looks pretty good. It does have 1 place on the passenger door where it was hit and is pressed in. This doesn’t affect the function of the door in any way. There are a couple of small dents and some scratches but no rust holes. The floor is solid. I have touched up the chips from time to time with the correct color paint. The interior is pretty good also with some slight wear. There are no cracks in the driver seat. The door panels are nice.

Functionally, the automatic door locks don’t work. I use the buttons to lock and the key to unlock the doors. It could be a simple fix, I don’t know. They have worked recently. Also the A/C does not work, I never checked why. The spare tire is not good.

Overall a great vehicle for hauling people or stuff. It has no issues. Buy and drive. I think you could fly here and drive it home to anywhere. I’ll pick you up at the airport. 
I am making NO guarantees, it is being sold as is.

It is being auctioned with a low reserve. The buyer pays shipping. I can assist with the pickup on my end. 
This vehicle is being advertised locally and could be sold at any time.

You are welcome to view, inspect and drive the Safari Van located in central CT. Contact me.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.

2014 GMC Sierra 4.3L V6 to offer segment-best 305 LB-FT

Mon, 06 May 2013

General Motors has released more information on the 4.3-liter V6 available in the 2014 GMC Sierra. The engine will serve up 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, with a six-speed automatic transmission, and giving the V6 Sierra a maximum tow rating of 7,200 pounds in regular cab, short bed four-wheel drive configuration. GM claims that figure is 500 pounds more than the equivalent Ford F-150 equipped with a 3.7-liter V6, and 700 pounds more than the Ram 1500 with its 3.6-liter V6. Buyers can expect to see the 2014 GMC Sierra with the 4.3-liter engine start at $25,085 including destination.
While the engine does deliver more torque than either of its main competitors, it falls short on the horsepower front. The 3.7-liter V6 in the F-150 develops 302 hp while the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500 yields 305 hp. GM says fuel economy estimates for its newest entry will land later this year. Check out the full press release below for more information.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
