You are looking at a 2009 Toyota Corolla XRS that had an engine failure.  The car is the top of the line model XRS that has the upgraded 2.4L 4 cylinder engine and sport suspension, brakes, and a few other touches that make it stand out from the other models.  This one has been driven a lot- 132000 miles and it has some wear and tear but has held up well.  It has not been in an accident, has original paint, and driven on the highway a lot.  The paint has scratches here and there but most notably there are long scratches on the hood (see pic) and some on the roof from dragging something across it when the paint was dirty.  The roof has very minor hail damage but there is no hail on the rest of the car.  The front left fender has a small 2 inch dent.  The front bumper lower valences or ground effects have both been bumped and are loose.  The front bumper has plenty of nicks from rocks but is in good condition.  The only other body dent issue to note is the right rear door has a 4 inch or so dent (see pic).  There are some decent scratches on the rear bumper valence on the bottom left. (see pic). The paint otherwise will shine up nicely.  The interior could use some cleaning but is fairly clean already, and is in good condition.  It has black cloth seats that are made of quality cloth and are in good condition.  The carpet has a few stains.  The carpet and the floor mat under the drivers pedals has a wear mark that goes all the way through the fabric.  The dash is in good condition.  Options include a 6 disc cd changer, bluetooth hand free system with voice activation, XM capable stereo, AC, Sunroof, power mirrors, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, keyless entry (with one FOB), two glove boxes, and lots of cup holders.  The passenger side door hinge limiter (that keeps the door from opening too far) is broken in half and needs to be replaced.

Mechanically- The engine through a rod through the block and is not repairable.  It needs a new engine and does not start.  It has a 5 speed automatic transmission, stability control (with a switch to turn it off), and anti-lock brakes.  The wheels are the XRS-only 17 inch aluminum wheels with 215/45/17 tires.  The tires need to be replaced immediately. 

Overall this car has a lot of potential to either be a great car for the buyer or to make money if the intention is to fix and sell.  Please look up many different online appraisal estimates and then also search for other cars like this for sale to see what they are selling for.  The XRS trim line is uncommon and often sells for more then book value because of this.  Sold as is, not running, and needs to be towed at the buyers expense.  I will coopereate with any shipping arrangements made by the buyer at the buyers expense. Please ask any pertinent questions prior to bidding and I will get back to you ASAP!  Thank you very much for looking!

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.

Watch the Muppets go for ice cream in a Toyota

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.

Toyota Supra ready for its retrospective video closeup

Mon, 20 May 2013

Our friends at XCAR have taken the time to train their lenses on the iconic Toyota Supra. With Toyota finally back into the performance car game, it seems only logical to remember one of the brand's most legendary sports cars. While we're all busy ladling praise onto the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins, it's important to remember that Toyota used to produce all manner of fun-to-drive machinery. The Supra once sat at the top of that list, its most recent iteration giving buyers the option of a ludicrous forced-induction inline six, gorgeous styling and plenty of presence.
Of course, the legend didn't stop once the Supra fell off American order sheets in 1998. Always an aftermarket darling, the Supra has gone on to become a tuner favorite in nearly every corner of grassroots motorsport. From drag racing to road racing and everywhere in between, the Supra is remains a force to be reckoned with nearly 15 years after it last prowled the US auto market. You can catch the tribute from XCAR below.
