2009 Toyota Matrix S - 1 Owner, Clean Title, Low Miles on 2040-cars
Santa Monica, California, United States
I am the original owner of this beautiful and clean black on black 2009 Matrix S. I purchased the car from the Toyota dealership and have put 60,000 gentle local commuter miles on the car (well below average). The car has a clean current title and is currently registered in California.
The exterior of the car is in excellent driver condition with a few unnoticeable beauty marks accumulated throughout the last 5 years from daily driving and city parking (see pictures). The interior of the car is spotless and in absolute mint condition. The seats, carpets, headliner are all perfect. And of course, it's never been smoked in and has never been used to transport pets. Truly, I have babied this car and it shows. The car drives wonderfully, has newer tires (2014), and all service is up to date, including the 60,000 mile service (with receipts). It's a really zippy car, faster than a Fiat 500, handles as well as a Mini Cooper S, and being Japanese, it is as reliable as a Honda Fit or Civic. The car gets great gas mileage, like a Toyota Corolla, and has a lot of cargo space inside, more than Volkswagen Golf! The car has the following options included in the Sports Package: - Aerodynamic front, side and real spoilers - Alloy wheels and high performance all season tires, sport tuned suspension - Automatic transmission, tilt wheel, telescopic wheel - Power steering, locks, brakes, windows, mirrors - Keyless entry, anti-theft system - Air conditioning, rear defogger, rear window wiper, daytime running lights - Passenger + driver airbags, front side impact airbags, head/curtain airbags, 4 wheel antilock disc brakes - Cloth bucket seats - 5- disc CD changer, AM/FM, auxiliary audio input, 120v power outlet, Bluetooth enabled I'm moving to the east coast and no longer have a use for this car, which is why I'm selling it. This is a local auction only and the car will not be shipped. As it is also for sale locally, I have the right to end this auction at any time. I'm available during the day to show the car in Santa Monica, feel free to reach out. The private party sale Blue Book value of the car is $11,534. The local dealers are asking more than $12,000 for the same car. I've set a very realistic reserve way below these prices. |

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Toyota retires robots in favor of humans to improve automaking process
Sat, 12 Apr 2014Mitsuru Kawai is overseeing a return to the old ways at Toyota factories throughout Japan. Having spent 50 years at the Japanese automaker, Kawai remembers when manual skills were prized at the company and "experienced masters used to be called gods, and they could make anything." Company CEO Akio Toyoda personally chose Kawai to develop programs to teach workers metalcraft such as how to forge a crankshaft from scratch, and 100 workstations that formerly housed machines have been set aside for human training.
The idea is that when employees personally understand the fabrication of components, they will understand how to make better machines. Said Kawai, "To be the master of the machine, you have to have the knowledge and the skills to teach the machine." Lessons learned by the newly skilled workers have led to shorter production lines - in one case, 96percent shorter - improved parts production and less scrap.
Taking time to give workers the knowledge to solve problems instead of merely having them "feed parts into a machine and call somebody for help when it breaks down," Kawai's initiative is akin to that of Toyota's Operations Management Consulting Division, where new managers are given a length of time to finish a project but not given any help - they have to learn on their own. It's not a step back from Toyota's quest to build more than ten million cars a year; it's an effort to make sure that this time they don't sacrifice quality while making the effort. Said Kawai, "We need to become more solid and get back to basics."
Supra successor may be all-electric sourced from Tesla; MR2 returning too?
Wed, 14 Nov 2012Rumors of a revival of the Toyota Supra and MR2 have been swirling for years right up until just this week when high-level Toyota employees all but confirmed their return.
But now The Detroit Bureau has put together news from different sources suggesting that the next Supra might be all electric. The report cites recent comments from Toyota senior executives hinting at plans to work with Tesla on a new joint project. The FT-HS Concept (shown above) seems a logical inspiration for a new Supra.
And on the other side of the equation is Tesla's design chief Franz von Holzhausen who was quoted last year saying his company was looking at its next project, probably a sports car, that would follow next year's intro of the Model X. He went on to suggest the car would compete directly with BMW's 3 Series, which, in coupe form, could be a worthy competitor to a Supra as well.
