Clean carfax record (preview provided in my photos, will give full report to buyer)
Aftermarket sound /navigation/phone system:
- Pioneer AVH-P3200DVD -- 5.8" touch-screen, radio, CD/DVD player, built-in iPod control, GPS navigation, hands-free bluetooth supporting phone or audio (will automatically mute the radio when a call is received, and allow you to speak naturally thru the speakers)
- Crunch amplifier -- 600 watts
- 10" Kicker subwoofer in custom fiberglass box that fits snuggly into the side of the trunk
- Premium JBL speakers
Quirks (because all cars have them):
- The driver's side door actuator motor needs to be replaced in order for the remote and power buttons to lock/unlock the driver's door. Right now the driver's door locks/unlocks only with the key. All other doors work normally. This should not be an expensive repair, and is potentially a DIY project.
- The person who owned the car before me didn't want to pay to fix a broken clockspring in the steering column, which was causing the horn not to work, so they re-wired the horn to sound from a button on the side of the steering wheel. After I bought the car, I had the broken part in the steering column replaced, but a mechanic still needs to re-wire the horn back to the steering wheel for normal usage. In case this is confusing: the horn works, but you have to press a button, not press the center of the steering wheel.
- There are some chips in the paint on the front bumper and some minor (nearly invisible) scratches on the passenger side of the car. There are no dents and no rust.
- Celicas have a rear windshield wiper with its own windshield wiper fluid, however the fluid is not coming out for the rear windshield. The hose possibly needs to be replaced? The fluid works perfectly for the front windshield, and all wipers work normally.
This is, to the best of my knowledge, a full report of the car. I have not had any problems with the transmission grinding. I believe that I had the clutch replaced last year, I will have to search thru my paperwork to verify that. The brakes and tires are in satisfactory condition. The timing belt has been recently replaced (verified by carfax report).
I am selling this car because we're expecting a child, and I need to upgrade to a larger vehicle. If it weren't for that, I would not get rid of the car because it has been very reliable for me and is in good overall condition.
Kelley Blue Book for this car in current condition is $5500. I am asking $6000, which will include the complete aftermarket sound system. I will also accept $5500, but for that price I will take the aftermarket amp, subwoofer, CD/DVD/GPS/bluetooth unit out of the car, and you will need to purchase your own radio. I will leave the speakers and the standard amp that is built into the car.
Please email me if you understand the description I have provided, the price I am asking, and are interested in viewing the car. Cash only, no trades. Car is in the Kansas City area. You must come pick up the car. I will not ship it. I will post more pictures when I have time.

Toyota to recall 185k cars globally, including Yaris
Thu, 04 Jul 2013Toyota has announced it is recalling a total of 185,000 vehicles worldwide for a power steering issue. Yaris and (overseas) Vitz models built between November 2010 and March 2012 could suffer a short circuit in their power steering control module if water gets inside. Should that happen, the power steering could fail, increasing effort when turning. The recall also includes the Verso-S and Ractis built from August 2010 to August 2011. The recall covers 130,000 vehicles in Japan and around 22,450 in Europe.
Only 74 units are being recalled in the United States.
Toyota says if the fault occurs, the vehicle will display the Electronic Power Steering warning light on the dash and a buzzer will sound. The automaker will alert owners by mail and dealers will replace the power steering control module free of charge. You can read the quick press release on the recall below for more information.
Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Toyota retires robots in favor of humans to improve automaking process
Sat, 12 Apr 2014Mitsuru Kawai is overseeing a return to the old ways at Toyota factories throughout Japan. Having spent 50 years at the Japanese automaker, Kawai remembers when manual skills were prized at the company and "experienced masters used to be called gods, and they could make anything." Company CEO Akio Toyoda personally chose Kawai to develop programs to teach workers metalcraft such as how to forge a crankshaft from scratch, and 100 workstations that formerly housed machines have been set aside for human training.
The idea is that when employees personally understand the fabrication of components, they will understand how to make better machines. Said Kawai, "To be the master of the machine, you have to have the knowledge and the skills to teach the machine." Lessons learned by the newly skilled workers have led to shorter production lines - in one case, 96percent shorter - improved parts production and less scrap.
Taking time to give workers the knowledge to solve problems instead of merely having them "feed parts into a machine and call somebody for help when it breaks down," Kawai's initiative is akin to that of Toyota's Operations Management Consulting Division, where new managers are given a length of time to finish a project but not given any help - they have to learn on their own. It's not a step back from Toyota's quest to build more than ten million cars a year; it's an effort to make sure that this time they don't sacrifice quality while making the effort. Said Kawai, "We need to become more solid and get back to basics."
