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!

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
