Find or Sell Used Cars, Trucks, and SUVs in USA

'10 Toyota Corolla Le Sedan 1.8l. 25k Mi Certified To 100k By Toyota on 2040-cars

Year:2010 Mileage:25700
Location:

Akron, Ohio, United States

Akron, Ohio, United States

I've been listing cars for the past 12 years for friends, family and clients who accept my approach.   I have 40 yrs experience as a mechanical engineer in the automobile after market.  I describe vehicles carefully and accurately, reveal any defects, provide buyers with all available service records and  photos including the underside of the vehicle--something 99% of eBay sellers would rather you not know about apparently.  That's where a lot of the money gets spent on a used car.  Since I sell world-wide we have sent vehicles to Europe, Mexico, the Middle East and all over the US, I can't afford any surprises.

Pricing

Auction is NO-RESERVE meaning the car will sell to the last bidder.  this could be the first bidder if there is only one bid of course.  once there is an opening bid, the car will sell thru eBay.  In the mean time if I get an acceptable offer locally and there has not been a bid yet this auction will get the automotive equivalent of what Arlo Guthrie called 'the disappearing railroad blues'.  Dealers would clean up the defects I mentioned and put this car out there for at least $13,500, so do your own math and if you'd rather end the suspense, send me your idea.  However, once there is a bid, i have to let the auction run it's course.  


The Scoop

I'm listing this very clean Corolla for a friend.  It was driven by her non-smoking niece to get back and forth to college.  It's done about half the miles of the typical 2010 and has the balance of the Toyota Certified PO warrantee (to 2017 or 100k miles).  This is transferable to subsequent owners until it expires. I have a card from Toyota to send in with the new owners information.  

The car has been serviced at Ganley Toyota in Akron needing only oil chnages, fluid interval checks with  no mechanical issues to date.

Scammers?  

Hope there's no hard feelings after I sent that 250,000 piece scam-bomb to your mail server after the last time you tried a scam on me?  Don’t even think about it!  I do not do bundled shipping.  I don’t care if you are in the merchant marine or your late dad was the president of Sri Lanka--if you don’t have a PayPal account we aren’t doing business, period.  And furthermore, please practice your English on more gullible sellers.  The boiler rooms you guys call from are so noisy these days I can hear your buddies in the background asking the same stupid scammer questions:  “So why are you selling your... ‘item’…”  There's always the chance that you are actually interested in aluminum siding or the free ginzu knives you got all those offers for.   All it cost me was a bottle of 15 yr old scotch to my friend with a pHd in computer security.  Want some more of that action?  Then scam on brothers.


Bidders' Qualifications:

Feedback less than 10?   You must me an e-mail with your phone number so we can discuss my terms and conditions.   I welcome legitimate international bidders and have sent vehicles to Europe and the middle east but please contact me before bidding to discuss your shipping plans.

Audi, Toyota land on MIT's list of 50 Most Disruptive Companies

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

MIT Technology Review, a magazine all about innovation, has announced its list of the 50 most disruptive companies in 2013, and both Audi and Toyota made the cut. While the term "most disruptive" may carry a negative connotation in most uses (especially in the classroom), the acknowledgement in this case is an accolade, signifying that the company is at the forefront of its industry. In a nutshell, a disruptive company is a business whose innovations force other businesses to alter their strategic direction.
Audi made the list for "pushing autonomous cars closer to fruition with a laser-scanning road detector that fits in a vehicle's front grille," and Toyota for "expanding its dominance of the hybrid-car market with its new plug-in version of the Prius." Click on the image above to be taken to the original graphic at MIT Technology Review, where clickable colored squares reveal information about each of the 50 winners, compiled from a variety of industries.

Toyota expands airbag recall to 2.27M vehicles worldwide

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Was your Toyota inspected under the company's recall campaign for faulty airbag inflators last year? You might have another trip ahead to have it repaired again. The automotive giant says that it found "the involved serial numbers provided by the supplier were incomplete, and did not include all of the potentially involved inflators," according to its official announcement. That means more replacements are needed.
Toyota's April 2013 inflator recall covered the Corolla, Matrix and Tundra from the 2003 and 2004 model years, the Sequoia from 2002 to 2004 and the Lexus SC 430 from 2002 to 2004. At the time, the company said it would need to inspect about 510,000 vehicles in the US but only expected to replace around 170,000 inflators.
However, the latest announcement increases that figure to about 766,300 vehicles in the US. Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the new amount is the combination of owners who need to have their vehicle looked at again and those who didn't come in for the initial recall. The company learned about the problem when Takata, the supplier, provided it with an improved list of the faulty part's serial numbers. According to The Detroit News, the latest recall affects about 2.27 million vehicles from them worldwide. Knight said owners would receive notification of the problem around the end of the month but repairs would come in phases because the automaker doesn't have all of the necessary parts at the moment.

Unintended acceleration settlement hits Toyota's Q4 bottom line

Fri, 09 May 2014

Depending on how you want to look at things, the US Attorney's Office $1.2-billion dollar settlement with Toyota in March over its unintended acceleration recall was either a big blow to the company or completely inconsequential. From January to March, net income fell five percent to 297 billion yen ($2.89 billion), compared to 313.9 billion yen ($3.05 billion) a year ago. However, the automaker still posted record full-year profits worldwide.
Operating profit also fell in the US by 9 percent to $498.1 million for the quarter, but sales were up by 6 percent to 581,261 vehicles. According to Automotive News, global revenue was still up from January to March by about 13 percent and vehicle sales were up 6 percent to 2.58 million units.
However, the payment to the feds did little to hold the company back last year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Toyota had net income of 1.82 trillion yen ($17.7 billion), compared to 962.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion) in the last fiscal year. Total vehicle sales were also up.
