2002 Chevy Avalanche
flat/satin black exterior gray cloth interior Z71 - 4x4 (also has auto 4x4 option) towing package This was my everyday driver, I have a company car now and need to sell the truck to help pay for private tuition. This is a 4 door truck/Avalanche and has been really nice for me. I love having the bed and the 4 doors. I had a local shop paint the truck flat/satin black. My son wanted to go for the zombie apocalypse look and it really worked out nice. I had all side windows tinted 5% limo to match the truck. The rear removable window is factory tinted and I didn't change it. The rear factory window comes out and has an inside storage area for the window. You can also fold down the rear seats and have a longer bed that is open to the back. I believe this was a one year only option on the Avalanche and 2002 was the one with this very desired option. I put in new front headlights, running lights, rear taillights when the truck was painted. I also put on two new outside side mirrors. The ones I purchased are heated mirrors but the truck doesn't have this option. The mirrors have the heated symbol but they don't work. The mirrors from the inside controls go down and out, but not up and in - I believe this is because I bought the wrong mirrors. This is not a big issue to me, but I wanted to be up front. The outside mirrors have the puddle lights. The interior seats have no rips and are in perfect like new condition. There is a little foam wear on the drivers side bolster from getting in/out but the factory seat cover isn't ripped and it isn't horrible. The carpet is starting to show its age, but it isn't horribly stained or ripped. I was going to install black carpet if I kept the truck. The headliner is perfect and no stains. The center console is perfect and isn't ripped anywhere. The dash is not cracked and is in perfect condition. The digital dash cluster is out (lights only) but the gauges work. I have a Snap-On diagnostic computer that I can plug in and show the actual mileage. I have been told the cluster can be repaired for $125 and wouldn't mind having it fixed if a deal is made on the truck with the buyer. Even though the cluster is out the mileage still keeps running and its only the visible light part of the cluster that is out, you can search for more details on this issue. There is no check engine light on and I still drive it everyday after work. Two door panels show a small cut/divot in the door panel. I took pictures of the areas. The one on the drivers door is inside the handle area about the size of a dime. The one on the passenger rear panel is about the size of a nickel. The body shop where I had the truck painted said they are small cuts in the vinyl and they can be repaired rather easily. I had the truck painted last year with base coat/clear coat and had a flattener used in the clear coat. This looked great for about six months until my son used a sponge and a shammy with wax residue on it and it turned my lower moldings transparent white where he rubbed on the truck. While this paint procedure produced a much flatter look it wasn't the look I was going for anyway. Last month I had the body shop paint it again but this time I wanted the flat/satin look and used a Dupont Hot Hues Hot Rod Black 2k Urethane paint. This has the same UV protection as the other and has better color retention. This is also a popular paint product that keeps it sheen and color for years. This is not the "paint it primer black and go with it" that turns all white after six months like the old days. If you would like paint pictures of the before and now paint job just let me know. The truck also started out originally painted from factory gloss black and I had them leave the jambs gloss black in the even I ever wanted to go back (but I wouldn't even if I was keeping the truck). The truck runs and drives great and drives smoother and better than my wifes 07 Denali. The tires are worn and need replacing but it still drives excellent and smooth. I was going to change the rims and tires and go black if I kept the truck. If the truck sells at reserve and the new owner wants the factory rims that are pictured on the truck painted flat/satin black like the rest of the truck I will have it done at the shop. The AC blows super cold, I had the high pressure AC line replaced over the summer and had it evac and recharged at that time, holds the charge and doesn't leak anywhere. The heat blows super hot and will run you out of the truck once it warms up to regular engine temperature. The right rear window is slow to go down and up - probably needs a window motor to be fast like the rest of the windows (common GM issue) but it still rolls up and down - just slow. All of the rest of the defrost, rear defrost, interior/exterior rear cargo lights, fog lights, everything else works as it should. There are a few lights out on the radio (some of the buttons do not light up like the rest of them). I can take a picture for you if this is an issue showing you which ones. I think I have detailed everything about the truck, if you have any questions or are near Nashville TN and want to see and test drive it just message me. I do have the truck for sale local and reserve the right to end the auction if it hasn't reached the reserve. The reserve is much less than I am asking for the truck. The truck is sold as is condition, as stated. I require a $1000 deposit via Paypal once the truck is sold, remainder can be paid via Paypal or cash in person upon pickup. The truck needs to be picked up within three weeks upon the end of auction. If the truck is paid in full I can store the truck for longer if you are working out details for transportation. I will not be in the middle of working out transport, that is your responsibility. I will not take any bank transfers, checks, checks for more than the sale amount etc. For more pictures or specific information about the truck please message me. I have a clean and clear title in hand. |

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
