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.

Krafcik says US Gov. shutdown is slowing Oct. auto sales

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

The government shutdown is eroding consumer confidence in the auto market, says John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai's US sales unit, and could lower October sales by as much as 10 percent, Automotive News reports. "It's that anxiety that keeps customers, potential buyers, on the sidelines when making a big purchase like an automobile," Krafcik says, adding that industry sales could be off by five to 10 percent in October compared to September.
The fourth quarter, which started October 1, usually consists of increased auto sales as dealerships clear their lots to make room for the next year's models. Leading up to the fourth quarter this year, the auto industry was doing well in the fragile, recovering US economy, although September deliveries decreased by 4.2 percent, due in part to this year's Labor Day sales being recorded for August.
To help its customers, Hyundai announced it is deferring new-car loan and lease payments for furloughed federal workers until they're called back to work and also offering them a three-month payment deferral if they buy a new Hyundai in October. "We have already had requests from over a thousand people to have their payments deferred," Krafcik says.

Toyota launches BMW-powered Verso in Europe

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

BMW makes some sweet-revving engines, but its own vehicles aren't the only ones running BMW engines. So do the latest from Rolls-Royce and Mini, of course, as well as a handful of Peugeots and Citroëns thanks to its joint engine program with PSA. Wiesmann uses BMW engines, as did the famous McLaren F1. And now we can add one more to the list.
That would be the Toyota Verso, a Corolla-based minivan which Toyota builds in Turkey and sells in Europe and a few other markets overseas. The Verso is also now officially the first beneficiary of the partnership between Toyota and BMW as the Japanese automaker has released the MPV with BMW's 1.6-liter turbodiesel four.
The 111-horsepower engine is coupled to a Toyota transmission and joins the Verso range as the fourth (and least powerful) engine in the lineup, alongside the 122hp 2.0 diesel and the gasoline options with 1.6 liters and 160 hp and 1.8 for 180. Future collaborations between the two automakers will include fuel-cell development, a new joint sportscar platform, lightweight bodywork research and a new generation of lithium-air batteries. See the press release below for further details.

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.
