Interior recently detailed and in excellent condition-no stains, no odors, smoke and pet free.

In the last 10K miles: new tires in front (rears are OK), battery, spark plugs and wires, fuel filter, air filter, transmission fluid and filter changed. Runs and drives good.

 Up for auction with a low reserve, is a 2003 Chevy Venture LS Extended Van. We bought this van a few years ago. The big selling point? Smells. Or, lack thereof. It seems to be an almost impossible task to locate a used van that does not reek of something. As for selling it now? We had the option to purchase my company van at the end of its lease. So, now there are three vans in our driveway. That's one too many. Air conditioning front and rear works great and is ready to take your family and their gear on a road trip in comfort. Integrated child seat. Tons of cargo room with the seats removed. Good trunk space with the seats in. Runs and drives good. Power outlets front and rear to keep the kids' devices running on those long trips.Options include: ABS brakes, traction control, power steering, tilt wheel, AC front and rear, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, front driver and passenger air bags, side impact air bags (front), power drivers seat, 7 passenger seating, roof rack, alloy wheels and privacy glass. She is not in perfect condition, but not bad for a 10 year old van.  Just to reiterate the condition:

Reserve is set way below the Kelley Blue Book Value of $4389 (way below). Local pick up only.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
