Way ahead of you. I drove the Caprice which is still wearing my SS wheels.

Everyone fails!

Says $1350 but he may have meant $1650. Seems to have an airbag light on. Still I am amazed how cheap these are despite cheap gas. I kind of want one for a winter beater.

I am intrigued by this. Did the trip have the ability to track personal and business miles separately?

No idea.

According to brief research, the answer is yes, it does!

Use the trip information button to scroll through the ODOMETER, PERSONAL TRIP ON/OFF, BUSINESS TRIP ON/OFF, HOURMETER, ANNUAL LOG and TIMER. If the personal trip and/or the business trip are set to ON, you will also be able to scroll through more messages. See Personal Trip and Business Trip next for more information.

If your vehicle is not equipped with the DIC steering wheel buttons you can select the trip information by pressing the trip odometer reset stem on the instrument panel cluster.

Personal Trip

If the PERSONAL TRIP is on (turn it on or off by pressing the select button) you will also be able to scroll through the following:

• PERSONAL: XX MI -- This shows the current distance traveled since the last reset for the personal trip odometer in either miles or kilometers.

• PERSONAL: XX.X GAL -- This shows the amount of fuel used for the personal trip.

• PERSONAL: XX.X MPG -- This shows how many miles per gallon of fuel your vehicle is getting for the personal trip based on current and past driving conditions.

• PERSONAL: AVG MPH -- This shows the vehicle's average speed for the personal trip.

• PERSONAL: % ANNUAL -- This shows the ratio of personal trip miles to annual miles as a percent.

You can reset the personal trip odometer by pressing and holding the trip odometer reset stem.

Business Trip

If the BUSINESS TRIP is on (turn it on or off by pressing the select button) you will also be able to scroll through the following:

• BUSINESS: XX MI -- This shows the current distance traveled since the last reset for the business trip odometer in either miles or kilometers.

• BUSINESS: XX.X GAL -- This shows the amount of fuel used for the business trip.

• BUSINESS: XX.X MPG -- This shows how many miles per gallon of fuel your vehicle is getting for the business trip based on current and past driving conditions.

• BUSINESS: AVG MPH -- This shows the vehicle's average speed for the business trip.

• BUSINESS: % ANNUAL -- This shows the ratio of business trip miles to annual miles as a percent.

To reset the personal or business trip information, do the following: press and hold select button for two seconds while in one of the personal or business trip modes. This will reset all of the information for the personal or business trip, or if your vehicle does not have the DIC steering wheel control buttons, press the reset stem on the instrument panel cluster.

You can also reset the PERSONAL: XX MI, or BUSINESS: XX MI, while they are displayed by pressing the reset stem on the cluster. If you press and hold the reset stem or select button for four seconds, the display will show the distance traveled since the last ignition cycle for the personal or business trip.

Odometer

Press the trip information button, or the trip odometer reset step, until SEASON ODOMETER appears on the display. This shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven in either miles or kilometers. Pressing the reset stem located on the instrument cluster with the vehicle off will also display the season odometer.

Hourmeter

Press the trip button to scroll to the hourmeter. The hourmeter shows the total number of hours the engine has run. Pressing the reset stem on the instrument cluster will also display the hourmeter after the season odometer is displayed.

Annual Log

Press the trip button, or the reset stem on the instrument panel cluster, to scroll to the annual log. The annual log shows the mileage accumulated since it was last reset. To reset the annual log, press and hold the select button, or the trip odometer reset stem for approximately two seconds.

Timer

The DIC can be used as a stopwatch. Press the select button, or the trip odometer reset stem, while TIMER is displayed to start the timer. The display will show the amount of time that has passed since the timer was last reset (not including time the ignition is off). Time will continue to be counted as long as the ignition is on, even if another display is being shown on the DIC. The timer will record up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds (99:59:59) after which the display will roll back to zero.

To stop the counting of time, press the select button briefly while TIMER is displayed.

To reset the timer to zero, press and hold the select button, or the trip odometer reset stem, while TIMER is displayed.

15 hours left on the offer. I guess I could go up to $1550 and try again. Ebay lets each buyer submit up to 3 offers during an auction of this type.

All depends how much you need a car right now. You have pretty good grounds to reject if you don't like it.
