Amazing Toyota Avalon Xls, Superbly Maintained! Typical Toyota Reliability! on 2040-cars
Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States
|
Amazing car, superbly maintained for last 7 yrs by me, the 3rd owner. Was a southern car for almost 3 yrs, no rust, no leaks,
newer brakes, newer tires (2 new 12/2013), recent timing belt & water pump replacement, two new o2
sensors. Drives like a car less than half its age and miles. V6, Auto, Leather
seats (no rips), power seats, power windows, HEATED seats, power tilt & sliding Moon Roof, AC
cold, everything works (except 2 small dash bulbs! Clean, clean car and smoke-free. And great mpg... 22 around
town, 29 on highway. Regular gas. The only negatives are obvious: car
looks great from 5' but there are some tiny rock chips on the hood,paint
looks its age, one small dent (dimple) above tail light to right of trunk lid (I did it with my hand accidentally), leather seats show wear, alloy wheels show road rash from the Michigan winters but these are all minor considering the
overall condition. Perfect winter car, or for student. AutoCheck
available. This Avalon has the rare bench seat in front. This was the
last year this was available in the Avalon. These were virtually
impossible to find, because it is a true 6 passenger sedan (seat belts
for all passengers). The Avalon is powered by a 3.0L V6 engine which
produces 200 hp and 214 lb-ft of torque. Despite the size of the Avalon,
it is rated at an impressive 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the
highway. $100 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours, balance due within 3 days by certified check. Car in as-is condition, no warranties or guarantees given... as always, all sales are final.

Tesla expects another higher-volume deal with Toyota in next few years
Tue, 09 Sep 2014Four months have passed since Toyota ended its relationship with Tesla Motors, in which the electric-vehicle specialist supplied full lithium-ion battery packs to the Japanese behemoth for its RAV4 EV rollout, of which 2,500 vehicles will be completed. Now, Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk has been heard suggesting that a future collaboration is likely within the next two to three years, and that it will probably be much larger than the last one.
Both Tesla and Toyota have sung each other's praises in the not-too-distant past, Toyota telling Autoblog back in May, "We have a good relationship with Tesla and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects." According to Automotive News, Musk said of the Japanese giant, "We love working with Toyota... We have a huge amount of respect for them as a company and certainly much to learn."
Interestingly, though, the two automakers have rather divergent strategies for eco-friendly automobiles. Toyota, as you're surely aware, is the clear-cut leader in hybrids and has thrown its massive support in the direction of hydrogen fuel cells, while Tesla has invested heavily in battery-electric technology and high-speed charging stations.
Toyota Harrier gets a whale of a facelift [w/video]
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Historically, the Toyota Harrier has been a doppelgänger for North America's Lexus RX - at some points, it was little more than a badge-swap and a few options away, at least aesthetically. That appears to be changing with this just-revealed new generation at the Tokyo Motor Show.
That's because this two-row, five-seat Toyota is in possession of a bold new look, dominated by a jutting, baleen-like grille edged in chrome, along with new headlamps and fascia. The greenhouse has likewise been revamped and gotten more pointed at the rump, which has new taillights, a resurfaced tailgate and a faux rear diffuser. Were it to be ported over to North American Lexus dealers intact, the Harrier's look would be jarring in light of the brand's spindle-grille-based design language, so we suspect that if the RX gets any of these updates (it was just refreshed for 2013), it will strike out on a different path visually.
Unlike the US RX, the new Harrier will rely on smaller-displacement four-cylinder engines, namely a 2.0-liter paired with a continuously variable transmission or a 2.5-liter four backed up by an electric motor. We'd like to see a smaller-displacement option for the US RX (it presently runs with 3.5-liter V6 engines in both gas-only and hybrid guise), but suspect it won't arrive until the next all-new model.
NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect
Mon, 25 Feb 2013The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.
