Buy a cheap Chevy Corvette from Government Auctions (GSA), if you are looking for a good deal on a bank owned car, ex police, seized or ex lease fleet car then its a good idea to browse through the latest listings on our website. Purchasing a car in this way is a great way to save cash. If we look at each case we will explain the exact reasons why you can save a good amount of money if you are prepared to do a bit of research.

Government Auctions: The majority of government companies will turn over their cars to the public on a regular basis. This may be after a predetermined time period or number of milies. When these cars are considered of no more use to the companies then they are auctioned off or sold at wholesale prices. In most government auctions the cars have been well kept and don’t have very high car mileage so they make good buys. We have a lot of GSA auction data available if you do want to search then click the red search button and this will take you to the government auctions website.

Bank Owned Chevy Corvettes: Seized cars and repos are similar. In both cases the owner has failed to remake the car loan repayments to the lender. This leaves the lender with debt to recover from the failed car loan and the financer looks for buyers through sometimes a quick sale. Often these quick sales are needed so that the cars can be very inexpensive compared to dealer retail pricing.

Lease and Ex Fleet Chevy Corvettes: When a car lease expires the car is returned and like bank owned cars, the finance company is looking for a buyer to clear the debt on the car and move on. Leased cars are often not more than a few years old and most will make great buys for several reasons. Ex company lease cars are usually maintained well and with research you should find a good bargain.

Ex Police cars are common because they are usually pretty cheap and come custom fitted with some non standard equipment. Many people will buy an ex highway patrol car because it’s a cool onroad vehicle, and others for their collections. Other buyers choose them because they are a low cost option, opinion on the value of these ex police cars varies greatly so judge these used cars individually

Chevy Volt Plugin Electric Hybrid Car

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:26:25 +0000

The Chevy Volt Plugin Electric Hybrid Car is due in 20011 – the price of the Volt is expected to be around US$40000

The Extended-Range Electric Vehicle that is redefining the automotive world is no longer just a rumor. In fact, its propulsion system is so revolutionary, it’s unlike any other vehicle or electric car that’s ever been introduced.

The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle to be produced by General Motors, expected to be launched as a 2011 model. The Volt’s propulsion system will be based on GM’s new Voltec (formerly known as E-Flex) platform, which differs significantly from GM’s earlier BAS Hybrid and Two-Mode Hybrid systems.

The electrical power from the generator is sent to either the electric motor or the batteries, depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. The distribution is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. With fully charged batteries, enough stored electrical energy will power the Volt for 40 miles (64 km), a distance capable of satisfying the daily commute of 75% of Americans,[10] which averages around 33 miles (53 km). After 40 miles (64 km), a small 4-cylinder gasoline internal combustion engine drives a 53 kW generator effectively extending the Volt’s potential range to as much as 640 miles (1,030 km) on a single tank of gasoline.

Unlike most current commercially available electric hybrids, the actual propulsion of the Volt is accomplished exclusively by the electric motor, and the internal combustion engine is used as another charging method. Electric power for the vehicle is sourced from its onboard lithium-ion batteries which are charged by an electrical power outlet and/or the gasoline engine. The Volt’s 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can be fully charged (technically ~85%; see SOC) by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772 compliant charging cord. No external charging station will be required.
