2006 Chevrolet Colorado
2.8L VORTEC I4 Engine

Lots of extras!

Im selling my 2006 Chevy Colorado 2-Door Regular Cab. I am the original owner and have the clear title in hand ready for transfer. I have the original sticker price which was at $17,085! I Have put about 8,500 miles a year on the truck for a total of about 79k miles.
I recently moved to New York from Florida and bought a new car for my growing family. Since I never registered the truck in NY I garaged it for about 7 months. Now Im selling because I don't see myself using the truck anymore. The truck runs very good, starts up right away and the motor has absolutely no leaks! It has the Fuel injected 2.8L I4 VORTEC Engine. Automatic Electronic Transmission. It has a GVW rating of 4850 lb. and a 3.73 rear axle ratio. I added some extras to the truck that I will mention further down.

It has Power Rack and Pinion Steering, Independent Front Suspension, 2 Stage rear leaf springs, front disc rear drum brakes. It has a 19.5 Gallon Fuel tank with a really good 23 mpg highway for those long road trips. For Safety and Security the truck has Dual stage front Air Bags w/ Passenger Sensing System, 4 Wheel anti-lock brakes, Daytime running Lamps with Auto Headlamps, latch child restraints and a passlock theft deterrent system. Interior has a 60/40 Split Bench Seat, Air conditioning, full vinyl flooring, Driver information center, Tachometer, Cruise control/tilt steering wheel.

The Bad:
-The truck has a dent on the rear right panel. A car was backing up and didn't see my parked truck. The dent honestly never bothered me so I never had it fixed. (See pics its really not that bad)
-The truck has a shopping cart scratch on the door. The truck bed inside walls have scratches throughout (I used to use it a lot).
- There is a small rock chip (dime size) on the windshield.
- When I recently started the truck up again, every once in a while when making a right turn or braking hard coming to a stop the truck sounds like it wants to stall. It did not do this before I garaged the car. I called chevy and inquired about the problem and they said most likely the throttle body needs to be cleaned and/or the spark plugs need to be replaced. The check engine light is NOT on so it should be an easy fix.
- The A.C. also stopped working on settings 1-3 but blows ice cold on setting 4. It didn't do this before I garaged the truck.
- The truck has an in-dash DVD/CD player indash TV installed but the faceplate with the buttons was pushed in to hard one day and thus you cant reach the buttons (needs to be refurbished). Although it does have an Aux Cable installed so you can connect your MP3 player to it and listen to music just fine.

THE GOOD:
Truck has a lot of new extras:
- Brand New Tonneu Bed Cover, which works nicely with the locking truck bed door! The bed also Has a GM heavy duty mat.
- Brand New High Flow Electric Pull Fan, Professionally installed at chevy. Lengthens the life of the water pump and improves gas mileage and hp.
- Brand New K&N Cold Air Intake system, Improves gas mileage and hp.
- Goodyear Wrangler All Weather Radial White Letter Tires. They have about 90% thread left. They are larger than stock, so the truck has a nice higher ride.
- I did the 60k maintenance so the car has all new breaks and fluid all done at chevy.
- The door windows and rear window have limo tint on it which helps keep the truck cool.
- All maintenance, oil changes exc. done at chevy dealership. So the truck has all records of how well its been maintained.
Shipping:
Shipping cost is the responsibility of the buyer. I can help with finding a shipper for you. The car is located in New York, Zip Code 11727
I did a quick search on google and saw a quote for about $1000 From New York to Los Angeles, California So shipping should be anywhere around that quote.
This is a No reserve auction for a great and clean truck. GOOD LUCK!

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
