I'm the second owner of this 2010 Toyota Prius. It's in good condition with about 78,000 miles. I bought it from the original owner (a doctor). I've driven this on quite a few long trips. It drives great, gets amazing gas mileage, and is EXTREMELY reliable. I've never had an issue. My local Toyota dealership did a free test on the battery and found it to be in excellent condition with minimal degradation. They told they only replaced 2 batteries on the 3rd generation Prius. Both batteries had more than 200,000 miles.

FEATURES:

Features include: Gray leather seats, bluetooth, power windows/locks, upgraded JBL stereo system, cruise, XM satellite radio. It has the push button start with smart key. You can keep your key in your pocket or purse. Awesome feature.

CONDITION:

It has wear and tear typical of a car of its age and mileage. It has some dings, dents, and scratches. It looks great though and still shines like a new car. No accidents! There is a small, repaired hole in the driver's seat base (caused by a small key attached to a belt loop). OEM leather was placed between the hole and cushion.

CONFESSIONS FROM A FORMER PRIUS HATER:

I used to get stuck behind Priuses no matter where I went. I used to curse the name. However, my wife and I rented one during a vacation and we loved it. So, I bought a used one to be my wife's car. I'm now sold on the Prius. These are the reasons:

It's easy to drive. Turning radius is significantly better than any car I've driven. Steering is smooth and seamless. It has ample power. In power mode, it drives like a normal car.
It's fun to play with the hybrid system. You can play with the power and watch the mileage go up. If you are in heavy traffic, switch to EV mode. While everyone is frustrated over the traffic and idling car, this car is operating off of its self-generated electrical power. The regenerative brakes reduce wear and tear on your brake pads while charging the battery.
It's well made. I'm a Honda fan and unfortunately, this Toyota's fit and finish has Honda beat. The interior screams quality. Exterior sheet metal is light, but the car feels solid.
It's very roomy. Back seats fold flat. Cargo area is almost the same as a small SUV. If you want to throw a lawn mower in there, you can. If you're going on a weekend trip, it holds a ton of suitcases even with one of the rear seats up.
Cost of ownership is unbelievably low. Suppose your driving a 15 MPG SUV and you drive 20 miles each way to work. It costs you about $10/day for gasoline. With the Prius, that commute now costs $2.50/day. This car saves $45/week - $195/month - $2300/year. I've ranged between 50-65 MPG in mixed driving. It's actually quite hard to get lower than 50 MPG. Depreciation is less than $1,000/year.

PAYMENT:

Payment is via certified check or cash only. I have the title clear in my name. The price is very good. It is LESS than dealer auction prices! You can probably find one with a lower price, but buyer beware - be very cautious of the prior rental Priuses and those with salvage or rebuilt titles.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

2015 Toyota Sienna SE keeps the swagger, adds thoughtful updates [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Toyota found huge success with its "Swagger Wagon" rap video for the 2011 Sienna SE. It showed that a minivan could actually sort of maybe be fun and didn't have to be a lame vehicle for people who long ago lost their sense of humor. Now that there is a slight refresh for the 2015 model, the company is trying to capture that effervescent image again with a bunch of videos aimed at families.
For the latest launch, Toyota is partnering with some family-friendly online video stars and having them show off the Sienna's features. It's releasing YouTube videos from the creators of Action Movie Kid and Convos with My 2-Year-Old and a Vine from Eh Bee Family, and they all hope to show that it's cool to be a family with a minivan.
In terms of actual changes, though, the update is pretty light aesthetically, but the new tech inside seems aimed directly at mom and dad. However, unless you've got a sharp eye, spotting the exterior refresh might be tough. Toyota is tweaking the front end slightly by adding a dark mesh grille and trim. The headlights are also slightly reshaped to incorporate a new strip of available LED running lights.

Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.
