You are bidding on an amazing, reliable, luxurious and durable 2003 Z71 Premium Package Chevrolet Suburban! 

 

This vehicle currently has 184xxx miles and is in excellent mechanical condition!  It is ready to go another 100,000 miles easily.  If you know anything about a Suburban, you know they can easily go 300,000 miles if mechanically well maintained.

 

This vehicle honestly starts, runs, and shifts like it came off the factory line.  It has been excellently maintained since my ownership at 140,000.  The old owner also shared my attention to mechanical detail, but let his wife drive the vehicle and kids sit in the back freely.  They were not careful and the leather and exterior are now in fair condition because of it.  With that being said, the vehicle has always had timely oil changes and services since day one sparing no expense from the previous owner and myself.  The first owner didn't keep maintenance records, but promised me it was well taken care off mechanically throughout his ownership.  

My records pick up at 140,000.  This vehicle has every bell and whistle you could ever imagine.  My personal favorites are the OnStar capabilities, XM Radio, Bose Sound, DVD Player, captain chairs in front and back, third row, tons of cigarette lighters for your electronic use, great handling, smooth ride, huge trunk, amazing four wheel drive that will leave you stuck nowhere, lifetime (comes with cleaning kit) K&N Air Filter, and did I say space?  This truck is so roomy, you could have 7 people all sitting comfortably.  Oh, and most importantly the power.  This truck will tow and accelerate better than most in the game.  This is a great undervalued truck being sold at a devalued cost.  Blue book in fair condition puts it at $6,000-$7000 or more.  I will let it go for much less as I am moving and no longer will need this great truck, or else I would keep it forever.  This vehicle will not let you down for many thousands of miles to come.  Any questions, please feel free to ask. 

 

 

Here are the are the 100% honest things wrong with the vehicle that I have not had time to fix:

1. There is a small rod in the steering wheel that is slightly corroded.  This is a very common problem in this model and year.  This corrosion causes slight vibration only when sometimes turning left and if turning at very high speeds.  It has honestly never bothered me, so I never replaced it.  It does not bother performance whatsoever.  $100 bucks for repair

2. This vehicle has some rust spots, but none significantly on the body and the amounts are completely in line with the year and mileage of the vehicle.  There are only two spots that are developing on the body.   There is a small spot on the left rear panel and one on the passenger rear right door.  Both have been treated with rust protected coating and repainted to match the vehicle.  This seems to keep the rust from spreading.  Should be visible in photo. The front guard has also been painted to match the rest of the vehicle since it was fading.  The Chevrolet marker on the front hood has also been painted due to fading.  

3. The right rear tail light is out and this has just occurred today.  I attempted to change it personally and it was unsuccessful.  Probably needs to go to dealership to see if there is a short or may require better quality bulb.  $12-$100 for repair

4. The trunk springs could use replacing as it does not hold the trunk up too well anymore.  I've always just used the gate that lifts up.  Very cheap repair.  Just $20

5. The body is in fair condition.  It has very small dents and scratches in places.  All from the old owner.  There is also a little piece of plastic missing on the side of the front bumper.  Is not noticeable unless really looking.  

6. That’s it! Just remember it is a used vehicle and can’t be perfect.  I have done my best to describe this vehicle.  The vehicle is sold as is and no returns or exchanges will be accepted. 

7. This truck is in amazing mechanical condition as noted by the few problems. 

8. Lastly, you are responsible for picking this vehicle up and a $500 deposit is needed to PayPal immediately upon winning the auction.  The rest of the payment is due through Paypal in 3 days.    Thank you and happy bidding!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
