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 a low 79k miles. It has the sought after black original paint job with grey interior.
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 rust free 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, but im getting over 25mpg with the new upgrades recently installed. 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 which is great for dirty shoes, easy to clean up! , 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! Improves the aerodynamics of the truck which helps improve gas mileage. The bed also Has a GM heavy duty mat that helps protect the bed floor.
- 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!

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
