This is a very rare opportunity to own, what really is an almost brand new 14 year old pickup in MINT condition. The truck was bought new in Durham, North Carolina by a collector who had two other S-10 pickups with even lower mileage than this one. All his vehicles were kept in doors and rarely driven. He was good friends with the owner of the local Chevy dealership and when he passed away the dealership purchased the trucks from him and sold them to the public. A gentleman in Phoenix bought the truck and had it shipped out here to Arizona in 2012. The second owner here in Phoenix put about a thousand miles on the truck and now is selling the truck. He originally purchased it with the idea of putting AC in the truck but then decided that he did not want to invest the money in the truck and sold it. I have had experience with putting AC in these trucks and so I purchased it from him to be my daily driver. Two days after I bought the truck I tore my right rotator cuff and had to undergo surgery. Now I will be in a sling for 6 weeks followed by another 3 months or so of therapy before I can use my right shoulder again. My orthopedic doctor recommended that I not use a manual transmission as my daily driver going forward because my tear was very severe and he thinks it will compromise the procedure. So I am making it available for sale. The pictures speak for themselves and don't really even do the car justice. It is in MINT condition with only 9902 miles on the truck. There is not one ding or scratch on the truck. There are two tiny paint chips one on the front edge of the hood and one on where the tailgate meets the edge of the bed on the drivers side. That is it. Interior has no stains, no tears, no funny smells. Looks and smells brand new. There is not even wear on the floor mats. The grain pattern on the steering wheel and the shifter is like new. All glass is like new. Everything works on the truck. It is a base truck with no power options or AC. Estimates for AC installation are from about $1500-2000 if you have a shop do it with all factory parts. Obviously if you did it yourself the cost would be much, much less. The truck was ordered with base package, no AC and the big motor (4.3L V6) with the manual trans by the original owner because that's what he preferred and he liked to go fast. This little truck does scoot right along and is a blast to drive. The second owner put on the Keystone Raider classic rims with brand new tires. He liked the old school look that these rims gave the truck. I do not have the original wheels but they are abundantly available if you wanted to go that route. The truck is spotless, and runs and drives as new (probably because it is basically new). No leaks, no funny noises and no rust or corrosion of any kind anywhere on this truck. This truck sold new for somewhere in the neighborhood of 14k when brand new. The new owner will get a near new truck at less than half of this amount. This is truely a great deal on what has to be one of the lowest mile 1999 S-10 pickups on the planet. If you have questions please ask and I will do my best to answer them. Check the pictures and my feedback and bid with confidence. This truck CANNOT disappoint, it is that nice.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
