Hello, I am reluctantly offering this amazingly solid Corolla for your consideration. I brought this car home to give to my teenage daughter. I knew she would think it was super cool just like I do. Well I was wrong. I told her this car is just like the one Red and Kitty bought on That 70's Show when he gave his son Eric the Vista Cruiser wagon. My TV trivia knowledge didn't help her see things my way. Why I would buy a car for her that does not have a phone jack and a U.S.B. port is beyond logic....I can't afford to keep it and buy her something different so I must sell it. This car was imported to, bought in and raised in Florida were it spent its life mostly in the garage. It is very solid and rust free probably because of the rust inhibitor that was dealer installed and documented on the original window sticker (see pics). The paint appears to be original everywhere except a spot on the front right fender in front of the wheel where a bad touch up has been attempted. The trunk lock has been broken and removed. A new lock cyl. is available on EBAY for 40.00. The pin stripes and moldings were added at the dealer as well as the black vinyl top and floor mats that are still with the car along with the optional wheel trim rings. Overall this car is really original and very cool. Under the hood is a 1.6 4cyl that gets awesome mpg and a automatic transmission that sends the power to the rear axle. You will not win any drag races with this car in its stock form but it is dependable and fun to drive like it is and would be a great candidate for a motor swap, turbo, or maybe a resto mod. The car is so original and solid you may feel bad about chopping it up but if not it could be a mean drifter or bracket racer as well. I made a 2 1/2 hour road trip in this little car yesterday and find it hard to believe how nice it goes down the road. When I drive it I find myself with a smile stuck on my face. If you are a shy person do not buy this car. You can't go anywhere in it without people coming up to you and wanting to see and talk about the car. If you have any questions please call me at 513-792-9444 and I will do my best to answer them. Obviously this car is sold as is without any warranty. Please only bid if you are a serious buyer. Thanks for looking and have a nice day. Car comes with original window stickers and owners manuals ( see pics) |

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
Toyota Camry, Lexus RX to get aluminum parts
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Ah, aluminum. The lightweight, strong material has long held a following within the premium ranks, but as Ford prepares to launch an aluminum F-150, the material is gaining acceptance among more mainstream automakers. Toyota is one such brand, with a new report indicating that the Japanese giant will add aluminum bits and bobs to some of its upcoming vehicles.
These won't be full, aluminum-intensive treatments like the F-150, however. Automotive News reports that an aluminum hood and liftgate will be coming to the 2016 Lexus RX, and following that, the Camry will get a bonnet built from Element 13 for model year 2018.
As AN points out, Toyota is no stranger to aluminum, using it in Japanese-built models like the Prius and Scion FR-S. The RX and Camry, though, will mark the first time the company's North American factories will use the material, and they'll do so on a significantly larger scale, owing to the higher volumes that the Camry and RX represent.
Toyota nears $40B cash reserve as calls grow for new investment, payouts
Wed, 05 Feb 2014With the April 15 tax deadline just a few months away, our US readers will be faced with a decision should they get a refund: save or spend? It seems this issue is one many of us face whenever there's a windfall, trying to decide whether we should set the money aside in an account of some sort or use it as a down payment on a new car or a trip to the Apple store. Unsurprisingly, major corporations face a similar, albeit more complex, issue.
Take Toyota, for example. With President Akio Toyoda at the helm, the Japanese manufacturer has gracefully weathered recalls and natural disasters, all while turning beaucoup profits. Last quarter, profits quintupled to 434.4-billion yen ($4.3-billion USD), according to Bloomberg. Toyota also upped its forecast for the end of fiscal year 2013 (which ends on March 31 for Japan), to a record 1.9-trillion yen (about $18.8 billion). Now, the Japanese brand is reportedly sitting on a cash pile of nearly $40 billion, leaving Toyoda-san in an envious predicament - what should the company do with all that money?
Some think Toyota should be doing something, anything with that big stack of cash.
