The History/ownership of the van: NO KIDS to ruin this van.  An elderly couple owned the van first, it's super clean inside and out and was serviced regularly.
I bought the van from them to help them pay their Nursing home bills at the home where I worked in Oswego.
A month after I got the title for the van and after putting  a ton of money into it to get it in perfect working order for this winter I had a siezure at work  and
was diagnosed with a siezure disorder,  I have had my license revoked and can no longer drive, band my wife just got s new truck. So my loss will be your gain.
Come drive this van you won't believe how nice it is!!!!!!!!

Totally reconditioned to like new condition with lots of maintenance done to get it ready for this winter.  I used to drive 45 minutes each way to Oswego every day and needed a reliable vehicle to get me there every day snow or not(see below for the entire list of newly serviced parts and maintenance done since I got the title last November 2012 when I had the first siezure.)

Invoices for the work will be provided with the title, bill of sale and all other paperwork I have for the vehicle upon completing the purchase.

KBB Value : $3,083.00 for Good condition, although I believe it to be considered Very Good, but not excellent as it does have a few minor cosmetic issues
and a cassette player with no backlight, but with all the work that's been done and the new tires(49,000 miles remaining at the very least),
new battery, other parts, maintenance,  etc which lists at $3,158.00. Although I have way more money into it than either of these figures
see below for the rundown of the maintenance done and the cost... I have the receipts for all the parts and labor done since I got the title, and will supply
them upon purchase Any way you look at it you're over the KBB value by $750.00 right from the beginning, because I wanted everything to be perfect
for my winter driving since I spent 1 1/2 hours in my vehicle at least every day and was required to be at work every day even in a blizzard,
because Nursing homes run 24/7/365, but again you really need to drive and see the van to appreciate how nice it really is and and don't just read about it.
So call to schedule a time to stop by, drive it and kick the brand new tires!
Call Shawn 315-456-8694 anytime 8 AM to 10PM or stop by to look at it at 102 Westfall Drive (across from Wegmans on Genesee St. in Fairmont)

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
