1995 Toyota Corolla 4 door. VIN 1NXAE09BXSZ288885. Clean title. Mileage 268,463. Power steering, windows, and locks. No rips in the upholstery.  I have owned this vehicle since 2004 and it's been a gem. 1.8L engine still runs good and the gas mileage is about 32 mpg. Transmission is smooth. Heat and A/C still work well. Less than 10,000 miles on all 4 tires. Goes great in the snow. A new water pump and timing belt were installed less than 25,000 miles ago. New half shafts, front struts, and new front wheel bearing less than 15,000 miles ago. New starter about 40,000 miles ago. I have tried to keep up with the maintenance as best possible. This car would take me round trip to work everyday with highway miles amounting to about 21,000 miles per year. I finally got another vehicle and passed it down to my kid but he wasn't cool enough in it and decided to buy a gas guzzler truck instead lol.

Now for what's wrong with it. It has some rust as you can see in the pictures around the rear wheel wells, the front windshield, and the hood mainly, with surface spots elsewhere. The windshield is cracked (see picture). The rotors may need to be cut because there's some rust from sitting this winter but they may wear in if you drive it more. The condenser fan on the passenger side front isn't working. If this was fixed it would help the A/C be colder during idle times. The neutral safety switch went out so I wired in a start button (see picture) to start the vehicle after the ignition switch in on. The sunroof will open only with the assistance of helping it along.

Other than that I think it would be a great car for a younger driver or someone that drives to the train. It will last another 100,000 miles. Still runs good at highway speeds if you choose to drive that way too.

Good luck bidding.

Lexus eschews production in China over quality concerns

Sat, 03 May 2014

One of the more popular trends in the auto industry is setting up production operations in China. Mainstream manufacturers like Ford, General Motors and Volkswagen have done it, and even luxury marques like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have or will soon have manufacturing ops in the People's Republic.
One company that isn't building cars in China, though, is Lexus. The Toyota-owned luxury brand still manufactures all of its vehicles in Japan (aside from a few RXs, which are built at a Toyota factory in Canada). According to Tokuo Fukuichi, Lexus just isn't ready to build cars there yet.
"The German Three have a brand image that they have cultivated over the past century in their long history, but Lexus is not in people's minds like that yet," Fukuichi-san told Reuters UK.

Couple survives 50-foot fall from overpass in Toyota

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

It doesn't matter the make or model - modern vehicles are technological miracles when it comes to occupant protection. Take this story out of New York City, which involved two people going for a very wild ride in a Toyota Matrix.
Carlos and Raquel Broadbelt were on the Cross Bronx Expressway overpass when they hit a patch of ice while dodging a pothole, sending them hurtling into a guardrail and over the side of the overpass. They fell 50 feet onto the road below. Despite the catastrophic accident - and the mangled Toyota - both driver and passenger walked away. The couple spent a night in the hospital just for observation.
The Broadbelts' miraculous survival has even surprised doctors, who told Dave Carlin from CBS New York they'd never seen an accident like it. Take a look below for the full news report from CBS New York.

Toyota GT86 gets TRD treatment in UK

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

As dearly as we love the Toyota GT86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ franchise, we readily admit we wouldn't look sideways at a model with a bit more firepower. And while that's not quite on the table yet, Toyota has been busy amping up the visual firepower of its rear-drive coupe with a whole host of TRD parts. To this point, that's been a largely à la carte affair, but the automaker's UK outpost has just announced a special-edition model that allows our British friends to pick up the whole shooting match all in one go.
The Toyota GT86 TRD will only be available in black and white, and just 250 examples are to be built. As you can see from the excellent gallery above, the catalog of look-faster bits include a more aggressive front air dam, side skirts, rear bumper fascia, spoiler and unique 18-inch forged alloys. Additional flourishes include a TRD shift lever and branded radiator cap. The sole concession to actual performance? A "fast-response quad exhaust" that might only improve things audibly - 0-62 mph is apparently unchanged at 7.7 seconds, and the top end is still 140 mph for the manual transmission model. (The auto gets by with 8.4 seconds and 130 mph).
Pricing? Glad you asked. £31,495 for GT 86 TRD manual, £32,995 for the automatic - that's nearly $50,000 US for the tripedalist and just over for the automatic. (Those are heady prices, but bear in mind that UK MSRPs and taxes are generally significantly higher than their US counterparts). If the standard GT86 is more your speed, it still rings up at a more affordable £24,995 - roughly $39,500 - leaving plenty of budget for actual performance parts. No word yet on North American availability of a special TRD model, but we've got a call in...
