Here is a very straight southern car with original paint and absolutely no rust...NONE! I am third owner. It drives and handles like a new car and can be trusted to go anywhere. It's been kept inside since new and looks to have been pampered. It has the original paint that isn't perfect by any means but hey, it is original. All of the emblems look good with no pitting or oxidation. Front and rear bumpers are straight but the rear bumper could use a plating job. All of the wheel covers are original to the car and look nice. Also, the fender skirts are straight and solid. The seats are original with no tears and the stitching is tight. Springs in the seats are firm also with no sag. I replaced door panels only because the driver side had a very small tear. The carpet had very minimal fading but I replaced it, also. The dash is so soft that you can squeeze it without it cracking.....seats are just as soft. The wood grain on the dash is perfect! The windows (tinted) go up and down like a new car. I sent the tilt column off and had it redone with new wiring, bearings, etc. Also, I sent the AM/FM radio off and had it cleaned and tuned......it works GREAT! The front and rear speakers are new with the factory option front and rear speaker control on front dash. Door, window, and truck seals are new. I removed all hard and flexible air duct from under the dash and cleaned it. The flexible duct under the dash was not hard and dry rotted like most cars, reaffirming what I was told about it being a garage kept car. The original carpet, dash and seats imply the same.

As far as mechanical, the car is near perfect. The original motor was gone through from top to bottom 4500 miles ago. I put a new carburator on the car so I could send the original off to be rebuilt.......both will go with the car. The transmission shifts perfect with the kick down working properly. It has new A/C that blows cold and the climate control works properly. Also, it has a new radiator, new heater core, new starter, new belts and hoses, new wheel cylinders, new brakes, new shocks and springs, new front end, and new Cooper tires (including spare). The hidden headlights work perfectly and open and close evenly with no sagging. All the gauges work except the fuel gauge seems to not be working properly.....probably the float assembly in the tank.

I have spared no expense to get this car mechanically sound in every way. With attention to paint, rear bumper, and fuel gauge, this car will be very near perfect. Another car that I've had my eye on for a long time is available and that's the reason for my selling. My reserve is well below what has been spent on the car. Please call me with any and all questions. If I don't answer, leave a message. 662-719-3307 Thanks for looking!

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
