Good car I must sell, Chevrolet Cruze Eco, 2011 model year, gets about 40 mpg on the freeway, owned exactly 14 months, 18,500 miles









This Cruze Eco model is the lightweight, no spare tire, lightweight rims, built in aerodynamic variation blades in the grill to vary the amount of air into the radiator and lessen the drag coefficient when at higher speeds.

It's all made to get you better gas mileage than the ridiculously twice as expensive hybrid cars... no joke.

I just spent all Saturday cleaning and detailing the interior, it looks as good as the day I got it from Courtesy Chevrolet here in San Diego's Mission Valley, last April.

It has a dash pad to keep the sun from damaging the dash, and the front seat had covers on til last week... I forgot to take off the seat uppers, so those too are immaculate.

XM/Sirius, all the AC/PS/PB stuff, USB link and Blutooth link from your cell to the car stereo, the back seat has never been used, nothing's ever been spilled in it, and it's got all the paperwork from the dealership since day one. Window sticker, booklets for all the OnStar, XM/Sirius, etc etc.

1.4 liter turbo engine, 6 speed manual with overdrive, front wheel drive with traction control, and here is the PRAISE from Car and Driver magazine http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2011-chevrolet-cruze-eco-drive-chevy-cruze-review on a drive from Los Angeles to San Diego in a manual-equipped Eco, the (probably optimistic) trip computer showed an average of 43.8 mpg, with most of our cruising done at 80 mph with the air conditioning on

email me at jbohjkl@yahoo.com if you want to buy it, taking over payments is cool too, this car is financed through GM Financial / Ally whatever they call themselves, and if you have good credit like I do, I'd guess you'd get the 1.9 or 2.9 % I did. No, I don't remember which one it was, it doesn't matter that much to me which one, they are both good, and this isn't a house where the tenths of a % matter.
