1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Ls Extended Cab Pickup 3-door 5.3l on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:231000 Color: of the vehicle has a very nice shine to it
Location:

Knox, Indiana, United States

Knox, Indiana, United States

Up for auction is a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado Z-71 Extended cab 3 door. 

This truck has a rebuilt title. That means that the vehicle was involved in an accident and that the insurance company felt that the repair bill would exceed the value of the vehicle. Therefore they sold it at an auction where I purchased it and repaired the damage myself. That being said....

This truck has a 5.3 liter V-8 engine and an automatic O/D transmission. The engine starts right up and runs smooth. This vehicle starts, runs, drives, shifts, turns, and stops exactly as it should. Despite having just under 231K miles, this truck has plenty of power. The transmission shifts perfectly also. This truck also has push button 4 wheel drive. I believe the truck also has a factory towing package as the trailer hitch on the rear appears to be original. 

The exterior of the vehicle has a very nice shine to it. There are a couple small defects (scratches, dings, etc.) in the paint, but I would say it is in great shape for a 15 year old vehicle. There is NO RUST anywhere on this truck, which is very unusual for one of these trucks. I get compliments everywhere I go with it. I would give it a 9 out of 10. I believe the pictures represent it well. 

The interior is also very nice. The seats are clean and tear free. There is a small stain on the back seat, but I'm sure it's nothing a good detail job wouldn't take care of. The carpet is also clean, but has stains form normal use. I would give it an 7 out of 10. The pictures represent it well also. 

There isn't anything that would keep me from driving this truck cross-country tomorrow. We have had it for a little over a year now and it has proven to be a reliable truck. The only thing that I can think of that would need replacing is the tires. They are not bald, but they are worn down to the wear bars. They would be fine to drive it home on and would probably last you the rest of the summer and fall, but I would recommend replacing them before driving in snow. 

This vehicle is available from now until the end of the auction for inspections and test drives. If you'd like to come and see it in person before bidding, send me a message through ebay and we'll set something up. By bidding, you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase a vehicle. 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

Shipping is not being offered on this truck. If you need shipping, feel free to arrange it with a vehicle shipper of your choice. I will do my best to assist your shipper in any way possible, but I will not be responsible for any damages to the vehicle during shipment. The truck is located in Knox, Indiana. The zip code is 46534. If you'd like to fly in and drive the truck home, I'd be happy to pick you up at Midway airport in Chicago, or South Bend Regional airport in South Bend, Indiana as long as you fly in on the weekend. I have a full time job that prevents me from traveling during the week. 

This vehicle is being offered at NO RESERVE! The winning bider at the end of the auction drives it home. There is a $200 deposit due within 24 hours if the end of the auction via PAYPAL. The remainder of the winning bid is to be paid in CASH at the time of vehicle pickup. Pickup is to be no later than 7 days after the end of the auction. If you are not willing or able to meet any or all of these terms, please don't waste your time or mine by bidding. I am a very honest and straightforward person and if we are to do business, you should be also. 

Thanks for looking, and Happy Bidding!

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
