PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW = It will probably save us both some time.

If for some reason I've missed something that you have a question to, I would be glad to answer it.

A few months after buying this car from a friend, my brother in law joined the Navy and needed someone to take care of his SUV for the next 6 years.  I don't need to sell this car, but I also don't need it sitting around on storage insurance.  The previous owner moved to New Orleans and needed the money, otherwise he loved the car and would've kept it.  For the few months I've driven it, I've had no problems.  I've gone to Vancouver, WA from Renton a few times, and then once a week local driving, or to Seattle (I work from home).  It gets good gas mileage although I don't recall what it is.

The only things I've done since buying it was have a new windshield installed for $300, a full interior clean/steam/shampoo for $150, alignment tuned, a new cabin filter and two synthetic oil changes.

I bought the car knowing the following from the previous owner...

-he hit a guardrail which damaged the front hood as seen in the second picture.  The radiator was replaced but the cosmetic damage was left.  Sometime after this repair, the check engine light came on and now stays on.  He paid for a diagnostic report to be run, which confirms it's OBD-II code P0128, which I can show you.  There are five possible causes for this code, which you can find by searching google for "OBD-II code P0128".  ebay won't let me include a link, so when you get the list of results from google, chose the link that has "obd code p0128" in the actual link.  Of the five possible causes listed, it is not low engine coolant and not likely a faulty cooling fan, as it turns on and off as expected.  Therefore the cause must be one of the remaining three listed.  I haven't had it looked at because the car runs fine and now after getting the brother in laws SUV, it doesn't make sense for me to spend the money on it.

-he backed into something, which caused the damage seen in the third picture.  Again this is cosmetic and doesn't make sense to spend money on.

-had a CD/stereo professionally installed with a sub and amplifier in the trunk, but there's still plenty of trunk space.

-spent a little over $1K for new 16" rims and tires.  There is also a set of snow chains.  However, the TPMS sensors didn't get put back on.  Therefore, the indicator light that tells you when your tires need to be inflated stays on.  The estimate from Firestone Complete Auto Care to have new sensors installed is $440 for labor, parts and tax.  I didn't have this done because I don't need my car to remind me of the obvious--check your tires every once in awhile.  :)

-he had tint installed in Texas.  It was done well.  The back window is darker than the side windows.

-there is 1 small cigarette burn in the passenger seat and 1 small burn in the drivers seat from the previous owner.

I would like to get $3,500, which is what I paid for it.  If I can't sell it for this then I'll continue to pay storage insurance for six years because eventually I'll need a car again.  I also have a car fax report, but it says the same thing as the above report that ebay is providing as part of this listing (click the "Vehicle History Report" tab).

If after reading the above, you would like to see the car or take a test drive with me, please send a message on here with your number.  Let me know if I can text, or if I should call.  Since I'm only paying storage insurance you will need to come to Renton and will only be able to drive it around the neighborhood.

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.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
