2012 Toyota Corolla on 2040-cars

I bought this vehicle as a second vehicle for our family, but we can really get by on one, and I certainly wouldn't mind having the cash. 

This Corolla is in excellent shape. Cosmetically (interior), I'd rate it an 8.5/10. I use the car, so it's not completely spotless, but it's very clean and there are no rips in the fabric or broken pieces. Cosmetically (exterior), I'd rate it an 8/10. It has a couple light scratch marks on the back bumper, as well as the front bumper, that were there when I bought it. Nothing indicating an accident. Just a quick scrape on the garage doorframe maybe. Mechanically, I'd rate this a 9.5/10. I hesitate to say 10/10, just because I find that unbelievable when I read ads. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with this car mechanically. It's in great shape, with only 26,000 miles on it. I just had the oil changed at the 3,500 mile increment. 

I will be more than happy to take the vehicle to my mechanic for a "buyer's inspection," at your expense. If you opt for this, I guarantee they'll find nothing wrong. The only possible thing the car could need is a balance/rotate for the tires. That's it. If you are serious about it, I don't mind sending you the VIN as well. 

It's excellent on gas, in really great shape, and I'm offering it well below the Kelly Blue Book suggested price. This is a no-brainer. Perfect for: a daily driver, a graduation gift upgrade, students, and anyone who wants an incredibly reliable car that will perform well and be economical to maintain. 

If you're local, please feel free to come take a look at the car in person. I work odd hours, so just send me a message to set up an appointment. I'll be using the car sparingly in the coming weeks, so mileage will go up a little. 

I've bought vehicles online, and I've had some good experiences, but I've also been burned. I'll do everything I can to help you buy confidently and make things as smooth as possible. Thanks for your time and interest.

1967 Toyota 2000GT most expensive Asian car ever sold at $1.2M

Fri, 10 May 2013

Toyota's agelessly beautiful 2000GT has been sold by RM Auctions for $1.16 million, making it the new record holder for the most expensive Asian car ever sold. As always, rarity played a big factory in driving up the price; just 351 2000GT models were built, and only 62 left-hand-drive cars (like this one). The classic Toyota, standout member of Texas car-collector Don Davies' paddock, was originally a US-delivery car that spent time in a collection back in a Japan before returning to Texas just a short time ago. The car last sold in March of 2011, for just $650,000.
Enthusiasts will recognize the 2000GT as perhaps the most heralded Japanese classic of all time. The Toyota was a contemporary of the Jaguar E-Type - though one that obviously sold in a fraction of the English car's numbers - that was well reviewed by the motoring press of the day. Sometimes referred to as Japan's first supercar, the 2000GT boasted a 150-horsepower, dual overhead cam, 2.0-liter straight-six engine; a five-speed manual transmission; and a reported top speed of over 135 miles per hour.
RM described this record-setting example as, "the finest and most authentic 2000GT to come to market in recent years," equating it with blue chip classic exotics like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura.

Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch kei car in Japan

Sat, 12 May 2012

Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch.
It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards.
The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.

New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.
