Sports, Red, Coupe, Project, Sub Woofers, Amp on 2040-cars
Gulf Breeze, Florida, United States
This car is a clean salvage title. And it does have a share of issues (but also very good points), however, let me explain the new pieces and history of it. This car is drive ready (given, it is rough. Please read below for information).
I strongly believe this car is worth fixing and driving. Before this small issue, I loved driving it and getting compliments on it being my car (I'm a student just out of HS). The car has many brand new parts on it (I never do used performance parts). Most of the new parts of for performance. I never got around to doing body work. Battery and alternators are GOOD (12.4V and 13.9V will running). CCA and CA of both show good during testing. The check engine light is on. I have an OBDII scanner and will show you what the codes mean. NEW PARTS - Power Steering Rack - Inner Tie Rods - Rack and Pinion - EGR valve - BRAND NEW A/C Control Head (cold A/C and heater work) - Brand new ignition switch (I never put the ignition cover back on). - Air filter - Spark plugs and wires - Fuel Filter (changed at 174,000 ODO) - Oil Filter (changed at 174,000 ODO) - New Oil Dipstick (inaccurate reading. cosmetic) - New Rear Brake pads (NEVER GOT TO CHANGING FRONT. WILL GIVE FREE FRONT PADS) - New Passenger side mirror - Seat covers for cosmetic - Has an AMP and subs in back. Not hooked up - NEW Front windshield - BRAND NEW tires (currently have 400 MILES on them) - New PCV valves USED PARTS - Engine upper intake plenum (installed by professional mechanic) There are problems with the car, as I said. I'm not sure what is 100% wrong. I no longer want to continue fixing things on this car (I am a student and cannot afford to continue tuning it. I have two little girls [sisters] that need safety to and from school). I will be getting a new car. KNOWN ISSUES - Engine code (P0300) - Rough acceleration - Exhaust vibrates ONLY AT IDLE - VERY ROUGH IDLE - Squeeking when accelerating (only on initial). Car will run fine once it gets above 30 MPH I suspect a sensor is bad. Changing them out should improve performance. Because of the issues, I suspect the TPS (throttle position sensor) or camshaft sensor. TPS is $30 at O'Reillys. Worth a swap. However, I recommend getting it professionally diagnosed at most repair shops for free. (Free diagnostics at most local shops). Gas treatment is also recommended and might clean up acceleration. I only put 93 OCTANE (premium) fuel in it. I have a log book of everything that has been done to the car. Will be given if purchased or viewed. Please text me at the contact number for any more details. I know everything about this car and will be happy to inform you of them. |

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
