2005 - Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Kapowsin, Washington, United States
Selling my Daytona Sunset Orange 2005 Corvette with Z-51 package this is a very fun car and I am sad to part with it but the time has come for this to go to a new home. I bought this car from a dealership in the area February of 2012 and had the clear protective film put on then which makes a big difference on a car with a low nose like this, Manual transmission. This car has been well cared for and has recent work done on it, the only thing on this car that I know of is not stock is that I installed an aux input in the center console that replaces the satellite radio feed allowing me to listen to my MP3 player, this is a simple modification and easily undone if someone prefers to have satellite radio instead. This is still under warranty which will transfer with ownership. Warranty expires 2/15. Car is stock and has never been raced or abused, had original tires on it when I bought it at 39k miles that had to be replaced due to cracking in the sidewall. Has scratches to the passenger side rocker panel from a curb and a scratch down the rear quarter panel, the cover for the drivers side sun visor mirror is partially broken and the passenger side is completely broken off. Have nearly all maintenance records over last 7 years of cars ownership history. Options: Heated seats, Onstar, Satellite radio, 5 disc changer, Bose sound, Garage door opener, HUD, Car has recently had the following work: radiator replaced (road debris damage), A/C work, New rear struts, Clear bra, Newer tires (30kish miles) Edit: I was given a professional estimate quote of $1000 to repair the both the quarter panel scratch and running board damage. While shipping is the buyers responsibility I will help out in any reasonable way that I can. The only reason I'm selling is because it's time to work on buying a home and need to free up finances

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises.
