PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW = It will probably save us both some time.

If for some reason I've missed something that you have a question to, I would be glad to answer it.

A few months after buying this car from a friend, my brother in law joined the Navy and needed someone to take care of his SUV for the next 6 years.  I don't need to sell this car, but I also don't need it sitting around on storage insurance.  The previous owner moved to New Orleans and needed the money, otherwise he loved the car and would've kept it.  For the few months I've driven it, I've had no problems.  I've gone to Vancouver, WA from Renton a few times, and then once a week local driving, or to Seattle (I work from home).  It gets good gas mileage although I don't recall what it is.

The only things I've done since buying it was have a new windshield installed for $300, a full interior clean/steam/shampoo for $150, alignment tuned, a new cabin filter and two synthetic oil changes.

I bought the car knowing the following from the previous owner...

-he hit a guardrail which damaged the front hood as seen in the second picture.  The radiator was replaced but the cosmetic damage was left.  Sometime after this repair, the check engine light came on and now stays on.  He paid for a diagnostic report to be run, which confirms it's OBD-II code P0128, which I can show you.  There are five possible causes for this code, which you can find by searching google for "OBD-II code P0128".  ebay won't let me include a link, so when you get the list of results from google, chose the link that has "obd code p0128" in the actual link.  Of the five possible causes listed, it is not low engine coolant and not likely a faulty cooling fan, as it turns on and off as expected.  Therefore the cause must be one of the remaining three listed.  I haven't had it looked at because the car runs fine and now after getting the brother in laws SUV, it doesn't make sense for me to spend the money on it.

-he backed into something, which caused the damage seen in the third picture.  Again this is cosmetic and doesn't make sense to spend money on.

-had a CD/stereo professionally installed with a sub and amplifier in the trunk, but there's still plenty of trunk space.

-spent a little over $1K for new 16" rims and tires.  There is also a set of snow chains.  However, the TPMS sensors didn't get put back on.  Therefore, the indicator light that tells you when your tires need to be inflated stays on.  The estimate from Firestone Complete Auto Care to have new sensors installed is $440 for labor, parts and tax.  I didn't have this done because I don't need my car to remind me of the obvious--check your tires every once in awhile.  :)

-he had tint installed in Texas.  It was done well.  The back window is darker than the side windows.

-there is 1 small cigarette burn in the passenger seat and 1 small burn in the drivers seat from the previous owner.

I would like to get $3,500, which is what I paid for it.  If I can't sell it for this then I'll continue to pay storage insurance for six years because eventually I'll need a car again.  I also have a car fax report, but it says the same thing as the above report that ebay is providing as part of this listing (click the "Vehicle History Report" tab).

If after reading the above, you would like to see the car or take a test drive with me, please send a message on here with your number.  Let me know if I can text, or if I should call.  Since I'm only paying storage insurance you will need to come to Renton and will only be able to drive it around the neighborhood.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
