UP FOR AUCTION IS A VERY NICE 2001 CHEVY IMPALA 9C1. BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER I WANT TO CLEAR UP SOME MAJOR POINTS FIRST: 1) THE EQUIPMENT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES INCLUDING THE LIGHTS ON THE GRILL AND BY THE REAR LICENSE PLATE WILL BE REMOVED PRIOR TO SALE, THE ANTENNAS WILL REMAIN AS THEY PLUG UP THE HOLES IN THE TRUNK LID. THERE ARE NO HOLES DRILLED INTO THE ROOF OF THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THERE ARE HOLES FROM EQUIPMENT IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ANTENNAS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE. 2) THE CAR COULD USE SOME WORK, BUT IS VERY DRIVABLE AS IT SITS AND I DRIVE IT THIS WAY 60 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK, THE MILEAGE LISTED WILL GO UP AS A RESULT, I OVERSHOT IT FOR THE LISTING BUT EXPECT IT TO BE HIGHER. THE CAR NEEDS ROTORS IN THE FRONT, HAS CROSS DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS THAT ARE WARPED, THE REAR BRAKES WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED AS WELL. THE CAR NEEDS STRUTS IN THE FRONT AND WILL NEED TIE RODS WITHIN 10K MILES, I HAVE THE TIE RODS AND THEY ARE INCLUDED WITH THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON. THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH THERE IS SUFFICIENT COOLANT IN THE CAR. TIRES HAVE DECENT TREAD BUT I RECOMMEND CHANGING THEM, I WAS GOING TO BUT HAVE DECIDED TO SELL THE CAR INSTEAD. THE CAR HAS 275,000 MILES ON THE ORIGINAL ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, NO KNOWN WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO EITHER ONE EXCEPT FOR ROUTINE FLUID CHANGES. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS AN EXTRMELY HIGH MILEAGE CAR BEFORE BIDDING. THERE IS A DENT IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FENDER ABOUT THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL. THERE IS RUST UNDER THE BACK DOORS (ON DOORS). THERE IS A PATCHED SPOT ON THE ROOF RIGHT NEAR THE WINDSHIELD, LOOKS LIKE AMATEUR RUST REPAIR, IT DOES NOT LOOK TOO BAD THOUGH, HARD TO SEE IN PICTURE. THE CAR HAS LIMO TINTED REAR WINDOWS, THE TINT JOB WAS DONE BY AN AMATEUR AND IT SHOWS WHEN UP CLOSE. ALL OF THE VENT SHADES THAT WERE INSTALLED ON THE CAR HAVE BEGUN TO FALL OFF. EXHAUST IS A LITTLE THROATY, IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND EVEN REMAINED AFTER I HAD EXHAUST WORK DONE. CAR IS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND WEEPING OIL, BUT I GET ONE OR TWO DROPS OUT OF IT A WEEK IF THAT. ONE HIGH BEAM DOES NOT WORK, THIS IS DUE IN PART TO THE HEADLIGHT FLASHER THAT WAS REMOVED WHEN CAR WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE, JUST NEED TO TRACE THE WIRES BACK AND RE-CONNECT THEM AND SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE PROBABLY DUE FOR A CHANGE. 3) THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THIS CAR, CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS. CAR IS A FORMER ILLINOIS STATE POLICE CAR AND WAS ASSIGNED TO ONE DRIVER ITS ENTIRE POLICE CAREER. OK, SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW ALL OF THAT, THIS CAR GETS GREAT FUEL MILEAGE EVEN WITH THE HIGH MILES IT HAS. HAS TILT STEERING, CRUISE CONTROL, A/C WORKED LAST SUMMER, HAVE NOT TRIED THIS YEAR YET, HEAT WORKS GREAT, AND KEPT ME VERY WARM THIS WINTER. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SOLID DESPITE THE MILES. HAS POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS AND ALL 4 DOORS WORK. THE BACK DOORS ARE NOT DISABLED, HOWEVER I CURRENTLY HAVE THE CHILD LOCKS ON, SIMPLY FLIP THE SWITCH AND THIS BECOMES YOUR STANDARD 4 DOOR CAR. THERE WAS A CAGE IN THIS CAR AND THERE STILL ARE SMALL MOUNTING TABS FROM IT. THE SEATS HAVE NO RIPS, BUT HAVE OTHER MINOR IMPERFECTIONS, NOTHING MAJOR JUST TYPICAL THINGS THAT COME FROM AN 11 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 275000 MILES. CAR STEERS AND HANDLES GREAT, STOPS QUICK DESPITE THE WARPED ROTORS. THE SPOTLIGHT WORKS, BUT NEEDS TO BE LUBED UP A LITTLE TO OPERATE, IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO MOVE AT TIMES. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BRAND NEW, THE CAR ALSO JUST HAD BRAND NEW O2 SENSORS INSTALLED, BRAND NEW RADIATOR AND A BRAND NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER, STILL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, BEAR IN MIND THIS WILL NOT CHANGE BEFORE THE CAR IS SOLD, ITS ON NOW AND WILL STAY ON. THIS CAR HAS FULL CLOTH INTERIOR WITH CARPET ON THE FLOORS AND THE BIG COP "TICKET" LIGHT. THE CAR IS VERY DIRTY, WINNING BIDDER WILL NEED TO WASH IT. THE CAR ALSO HAD A RUST PREVENTER SPRAYED UNDERNEATH, SO THE FENDERS AND WHEEL WELLS HAVE REMAINED ALMOST RUST FREE, I WILL NOT SAY IT IS AS I COULD HAVE MISSED SOMETHING. THERE ARE DINGS, A DENT, AND SEVERAL SCRATHES ALL OVER THE CAR. THIS CAR MUST BE PAID IN FULL WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSING VIA PAYPAL OR CASH IN PERSON. THERE IS A DEPOSIT DUE BY THE WINNING BIDDER ONCE AUCTION ENDS, WINNING BIDDER WILL HAVE 24 HOURS TO MAKE A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $500 TO SECURE THE CAR. THE CAR WILL NEED TO BE PICKED UP 5 DAYS AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS UNLESS OTHERWISE APPROVED BY ME. THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF ANY SORT ON THIS VEHICLE, BY BIDDING YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY COSTS CONCERNING THIS CAR WILL BE PAID BY YOU IF YOU DO INDEED WIN. BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE FUNDS NEEDED FOR THIS VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING, THIS INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO THE WINNING BID AMOUNT AND THE DEPOSIT PAID TO ME VIA PAYPAL OR IN PERSON IN CASH. ON TOP OF THOSE INITIAL COSTS YOU WILL ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REGISTRATION/PLATES/TITLE IN YOUR STATE AND SHIPPING. I AM OFFERING NO ASSISTANCE IN DELIVERING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE READY TO BUY BEFORE YOU BID THIS IS A GREAT CAR AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO SELL IT, BUT I NEED A TRUCK AND LIVE IN AN APARTMENT SO I CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY VEHICLES. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE THIS CAR ACROSS THE NATION AND BACK, THIS CAR HAS BEEN VERY VERY GOOD TO ME AND I WILL MISS IT ALOT. THESE CARS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR BEING VERY HEAVY DUTY, BUT KEEP IN MIND THIS ONE HAS 275000 MILES ON IT. I WILL NOT DISCLOSE THE RESERVE, HOWEVER IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN OFFER, FEEL FREE. AUCTION CAN AND MAY END AT ANY TIME. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES I AM INCLUDING AND HAPPY BIDDING!On Mar-22-12 at 07:07:17 PDT, seller added the following information:The transmission felt like it slipped once on me the way home from work last night, I am lowering the reserve as the car is no longer in the same condition as it was at the start of this auction.
