2001 Toyota Corolla S

4-Door Sedan, 137,895 miles

This car still starts and drives fine. There's a lot of life left in the Toyota engine, it's fuel efficient, and the heat and AC both work great.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll list every issue the car has below, starting with the most serious and working to simple blemishes and nuisances. Don't hesitate to ask questions or request additional photos.

1) Our mechanic strongly suggests that we replace the engine mounts and tires. If we were keeping the car, we'd probably follow his advice.

2) He also suggests replacing the catalytic converter and fixing a tear to one of the CV boots. If we were keeping the car, we would not worry about these yet.

3) There's a modest oil leak.

4) The driver-side rearview mirror is cracked.

5) The passenger-side seatbelt is sticky and difficult to latch. It should probably be fixed.

6) Cosmetically, the car has a number of dents and dings (see the photos). One on the rear passenger-side door causes the front passenger-side door to stick, so sometimes the rear door must be opened before the front.

7) This was originally a Florida car, so the hood is pretty sunburnt.

8) The plastic panels between the windshield and the side windows have pulled off (purely cosmetic).

9) The car has a CD player, but the volume controls don't work very well.

Again - none of these ailments prevent the car from starting or running.

Contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for bidding!

Toyota Matrix not long for this world?

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

According to a report from AutoGuide, Toyota doesn't have plans to replace the aging Matrix hatchback in the United States after this year. If true, the timing coincides with the replacement for the Corolla, on which the Matrix is based, with that car slated to get its first complete redesign since 2006 (2008 in the US market).
We'd love to tell you how many Matrix models were sold by Toyota in the United States last year, but the automaker chooses to bundle Matrix sales with Corolla sales, so we have no idea. That said, we have to assume sales of the hatchback don't contribute much overall to the total number of Corolla-based machines.
We're also unsure if Toyota will choose to exit the youth-oriented compact hatchback market entirely, or if the automaker will rely instead on its hybrid Prius line and Scion models like the xB and xD.

Toyota celebrates 30 years of 4Runner with... incentives?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Many Americans view their 30th birthdays as significant milestones, even though the average life expectancy here is more than 2.5 times that age. So you might think Toyota would be keen to party over the 30th anniversary of its 4Runner, since most models don't even live to half that age. You can put that idea away unless you consider discounts of $500 to $1,000 something worthy of cake and kazoos, since it appears that's all the birthday SUV will get. That's right, not even a trim-and-tape special edition or so much as a sticker. We asked Toyota for comment and were told they had "No other 30th anniversary 4Runner items to announce at the time."
So, about those incentives: they climb from $500 on the SR5 and Trail editions to $750 on Premium models and $1,000 on the Limited trims. Toyota says they're available at dealerships now and will last for the entire year. There's a press release below with a little more background, and there's a sad violin playing somewhere in the distance.
Disappointed, party of one, your table is now ready...

How Charlotte lost to Plano without even knowing it was dealing with Toyota

Thu, 08 May 2014

With Toyota set to relocate its North American headquarters to the Dallas, TX suburb of Plano following a top-secret, 100-city search, the cities that missed out can now begin asking themselves what happened during a process they apparently knew little about.
That's a particularly brutal task for Charlotte, which, according to North Carolina's Secretary of Commerce, Sharon Decker, finished second to Plano. While Toyota has been fairly open about what it was looking for in a new headquarters city - direct flights to Japan, proximity to its US production facilities, a lower cost of living, high-quality educational facilities and finding a neutral site suitable to the California, Kentucky and New York-based employees that would be relocated - it's been less open about how the finalist cities, which also included Atlanta and Denver, stacked up against each other.
The Charlotte Observer has a few ideas. Part of the problem is the distinct lack of direct flights between Charlotte and Asia. US Airways, which operates a hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, doesn't fly to Asia.
