Hi folks,


This one runs pretty well, but has some issues. 

Head gasket has had a very small drip onto the right side headers for years with no progression. There is no oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil, but if parked for many days, it will smoke a bit when the headers heat up. As a result I've only taken it out when there is water on the ground since the Fall when I got a new truck. It would be best to do the headgasket now-ish. Needs a new timing belt soon anyway, so...

New rear lower control arms two years ago. New rear brakes at the same time. Maybe 10k miles since. Will need new front brakes soon (runout is at the limit for spec and there is a mild shudder when braking at speed.)

Patched minor holes over the wheel wells. Everywhere else is solid with a few tiny spots in paint. No rust on roof, rest of body, etc. Body is in great shape and car feels very solid on the road. Engine light is ON--OBD codes say "small vacuum leak" (yes there's a code for "small" vacuum leak). I had it smoke tested once and they couldn't find it. It is most likely due to the aftermarket cruise-control plumbing and will most likely disappear when the engine is pulled and reinstalled for the headgasket job. Also, the exhaust can snapped at the rear gasket. The mid-pipe/cat is perfectly fine; the pipe to the exhaust can itself is what broke. I jerry-rigged it but it doesn't sound wonderful and the exhaust can will need to be replaced.

Bunch of other stuff has been done to keep it running. I'll update later when I'm in front of my books. I wanted to get this up now because it is due for inspection at the end of March and will not pass.

Sold AS-IS, but at a song. This is a fundamentally sound car. Tires are good. If it gets to $500, I'll throw in a full set of snow tires for it in excellent condition.

This would be a great bargain for someone who can do the work themselves, or even if you need to pay to have it done. Great,. safe car for a student, ski bum, camper, etc.

Questions? Send me an email through eBay and I'll let you know ASAP or send you my phone number.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.

How Subaru saved itself by marketing to the gay community

Mon, Oct 17 2016

Almost everyone who's in the car community, and even people that aren't, have probably heard the stereotype that lesbians drive Subarus. What you may not realize is that stereotype was fostered by Subaru, and it helped make the company relevant again in the '90s. This is the story told by NPR's Planet Money podcast. Apparently, as the company was trying to figure out who was buying its cars, the marketing folks discovered that gay and lesbian people were a large segment – along with all those outdoorsy types. The discovery led to subtle advertising directed specifically at what we now refer to as the LGBT community, which in turn led to more sales to gay and lesbian consumers. There were other components to Subaru's sales strategy in the '90s, but this particular campaign was an important part and quite successful. Thanks to that success, today we still have Subaru around building reliable, all-wheel-drive transportation, as well as rally-inspired sport compacts. There are of course many more details, but we don't want to spoil them for you. For the whole story, you need to head over to the Planet Money site and listen in.

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
