1985 Toyota Corolla Dlx Sedan 4-door 1.6l on 2040-cars
Mayflower, Arkansas, United States
|
Straight-body, no rust, fair paint. Good-running old Toyota. Was my daily driver until I retired this year. I drove it 60 miles per day and it never let me down over a 10-year period. The driver's seat back has a wear hole in the edge. Otherwise, the interior is in fair condition with the exception of the headliner which is sagging and cracking on the dash panel on right side where sun shines directly on it. There are some stains on the cloth seat inserts but overall not bad. The car starts, runs, drives, stops as it should. Transmission and clutch work perfectly. A/C works. Tires are good, nearly new. Engine is all original and does have an oil leak. It is more a nuisance than anything. Driving it at interstate speeds to work every day it would leak a quart in a week. Driving in town and at more moderate speeds lessens the amount of leakage. It seems to be coming from the crankshaft seal. This is replaceable without engine removal. I just lived with it for 10 years rather than tinker with something that was working well otherwise. In the photos, the engine has not been cleaned. You are looking at what you will get. There is a slight leak in the radiator header. Not enough to require adding coolant except maybe once in a few months. The photos were taken yesterday and therefore represent the current state of the vehicle. This is an old vehicle and I have been running 'antique' tags recently. This is a big savings in itself and is perfectly legal if you own more than one vehicle that is accessed and licensed. Being an old vehicle with high miles, there is no guarantee. But....it IS a Toyota. My brother's Toyota truck is still running with over 300,0000 miles on it. These old cars are fairly hard to find....especially in fair condition. Even if you had to work on the engine, it is a good investment. I wouldn't even consider selling if I wasn't retired and didn't have several other vehicles. Please ask questions if the condition wasn't described sufficiently, etc. NOTE: Does not have power windows as in description box...couldn't figure out how to keep the automatic robot from putting that in there! |

Toyota GT86 convertible on 'indefinite hold'
Sat, 05 Oct 2013Bad news, sportscar fans. According to a new report from What Car?, Toyota has cancelled plans to produce a GT86 convertible, a model based on the FT-86 Open Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In truth, Toyota never actually confirmed it would produce the budget-friendly droptop in the first place, but rumors have been flying since last year and Toyota reportedly showed its embattled Scion dealers a FR-S version of the convertible in August. Presumably, this means that a lidless variant of the Subaru BRZ is not in the cards, either.
The reason for the move is unknown, though What Car? reports "one possible cause is weight; Toyota did say that further work would be required on rigidity before the convertible could be launched, and that could have added extra bulk that conflict with the regular GT86's ethos of light weight and agile handling." It doesn't look like that work will happen anytime soon, as "sources now say that the car has now been delayed indefinitely, with no place in Toyota's product plan in either 2014 or 2015." Still holding out hope? What Car? says the project could be "fast-tracked" if management decides it wants to reboot the program down the road.

Toyota settles for $3M after being found liable in sudden acceleration case
Sat, 26 Oct 2013A jury has decided that faulty software was to blame for a crash involving a 2005 Toyota Camry that killed one woman and injured another. This is the first time Toyota has been found liable by a jury in a lawsuit involving sudden acceleration claims. Toyota has maintained that driver error is the most likely cause for cases of sudden acceleration.
Shortly after the jury in the case, which took place in Oklahoma and centered around a crash that injured 76-year-old Jean Bookout and killed her passenger, Barbara Schwarz, reached a verdict that would see Toyota paying $3 million in compensatory damages, a confidential settlement was reached. The jury, which had found Toyota liable for "reckless disregard" for public safety, had yet to decide what punitive damages Toyota would face.
Toyota said in a statement, "While we strongly disagree with the verdict, we are satisfied that the parties reached a mutually acceptable agreement to settle this case. We will continue to defend our products vigorously at trial in other legal venues."
Toyota FT-86 Open Concept leaves us feeling flushed
Wed, 20 Nov 2013When last we checked in on our topless would-be hero, the Toyota FT-86 convertible had been reportedly placed on "indefinite hold." That was back in early October, not long after Toyota had trotted out the rear-wheel-drive canvasback to Scion dealers as a possible future product carrot if they decided not to turn in their franchises. And yet, we're here at the Tokyo Motor Show, where Toyota has taken the time to at least repaint the FT-86 Open Concept in "Flash Red," if not build a whole other car (the original Geneva showcar was white). It's enough to make our heads spin like a teenager on the verge of a breakup. Will they? Won't they?
At this point, we still don't know any more than you do - the last word we heard out of Toyota was not encouraging, although the story was that the program could still be fast-tracked if management had a change of heart. As the car has never been seen before in Japan, perhaps Toyota is merely extending its domestic audience a courtesy view before it lines this showcar in mothballs, or maybe they're still trying to make a decision on its fate and gauging public reaction on the homefront.
Interestingly, in a new story published today, Automotive News quotes Subaru brand boss Yasuyuki Yoshinaga downplaying the likelihood of a production model, saying flatly "We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen." The executive went on to note, "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change." Given that such a car would probably trade in rather small volumes, that sounds like a significant hurtle.
