167,XXX Original Miles (11,XXX on rebuilt engine).  (Yes, I still drive her around, too! Mileage will change)

Clean title in hand

FENDER-BENDER VICTIM!

There is some damage to the front (shown in pictures) that is not minor, but not really major. Details below…

I’m only selling this truck because I don’t really need her anymore.  I’ve had her for about 6 years, always maintained and driven sanely.  My kid has gone from college dorm to apartment, so I have nothing to haul anymore (hallelujah!).  I’m severing my attachment for the sake of practicality.

 

The Good:

·         Green Paint still shines! 

·         All-American steel rims still solid, with wheel locks.

·         Goodyear Wrangler SRA deep-tread tires are very meaty with only about 14kmi of use (Originally $900 for the set).

·         Rebuilt motor installed at 158k miles, runs strong, synth-blend oil only (almost due for change).

·         Transmission shifts smooth, 4WD is strong and sturdy.

·         There are no leaks anywhere!

·         Interior is great for its age. Nothing major wrong with it, but I’ll list the small stuff with the bad…

·         If you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan, you’ll love the accents! (If you’re not, they come off easy, and I’ll keep the flag!)

·         This truck is registered “Historic” in Maryland.  Cheaper tags, cheaper insurance, no emissions testing, and no inspection!  Should qualify for most states (check yours).

Overall this is a GREAT 24 year-old truck that needs some TLC to keep rolling another 100k miles!

 

The Bad:

·         The exhaust needs to be replaced from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe >$600 total.

·         The stabilizer bar is bent slightly. Costs about the same to repair or replace the part >$100+ labor.

·         Interior:  Clock and cigarette lighter don’t work.  Mechanic believes there’s a break in the line somewhere because all the fuses are good. I’m not pulling the dash because I never used either one, so…).  There is a small hole in the right backseat cushion.  Smaller than a nickel, probably from a cigarette.  Been there since I bought it. The factory radio works, but occasionally jumps stations for no reason to whatever you have on Preset #4.  The cassette does not work, and 3 out of 6 factory speakers work.  Power windows and locks all work, except the rear window comes off track sometimes when lowering.  Always gets back on track with a helping hand, and does not leak or cause other problems.

·         AC needs charge (I rarely used it), but it works.

·         Windshield wiper fluid tank is cracked, won’t hold fluid. (I found one for $30, but forget to get it, haven’t looked again since).

Actually, it’s not so bad for a 24 year-old truck! I’d keep her, but my wife is like… well, anyway…

 

The Ugly:

·         The bumper assembly, grill and hood were damaged in a fender-bender.  Bumper and grill have to be replaced, and costs vary $125+. The hood can be hammered down. Still latches, just a bit bent (not crumpled).  One headlight bulb went out because the lens was cracked.  I already have two new ones.

I haven’t gotten any appraisal to fix this because I’m selling her instead.  But, I do drive this baby occasionally, just to keep her active.  She’s always been great in bad weather. 

 

But, now she’s going to the highest bidder!  AS-IS!

 

I will show the vehicle locally in Clinton, Maryland (Prince George’s County), BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

I am willing to deliver the vehicle within 50 miles of zip code 20735 ONLY IF PAID IN FULL!

PAYPAL   OR   CASH      ONLY!

Fake bidders WILL be reported.

Toyota turning landfill gas into hybrid vehicles, indirectly

Fri, Mar 28 2014

Chamillionaire certainly wasn't referring to the Toyota Avalon or Camry when he rapped about "ridin' dirty" but maybe he'll change his tune soon. That's because some of the future energy sources for the Kentucky factory that makes those two models will come from gas created from the breakdown of solid waste. So the power behind some of the production at Toyota's largest North American factory will indeed be funky. Toyota is working with Waste Services of the Bluegrass to build a network of wells at a nearby landfill in order to collect the gases. Construction of the system starts next month and will be finished by early next year. The upshot is that the system will produce one megawatt of electricity per hour, which is the equivalent to the power used by 800 houses. Last spring, Toyota said it would start producing the Lexus ES at the Kentucky plant after getting almost a $150 million offer from the state. That's because that model is expected to add 50,000 vehicles to the existing production numbers at the plant. And those production numbers are already large, as Toyota makes both the standard and hybrid versions of both the Camry and Avalon there. Mind you, Toyota's not the first to go this route for factory-energy production. In 2011, General Motors' Orion Assembly Plant started getting about 40 percent of its energy for production of models such as the Chevy Sonic and Buick Verano from methane captured from a landfill nearby. The General estimated at the time that the process would cut the company's energy costs by about $1.1 million a year. Check out Toyota's press release about the Kentucky plant and its future landfill gas below. Landfill Gas to Build Cars and a Greener Community Partnership between Toyota and local landfill turns garbage into good March 24, 2014 GEORGETOWN, Ky. (MARCH, 24 2014) – Can a car company be a vehicle for change? Toyota thinks so. The Kentucky plant that manufactures some of the greenest cars on the road, including two hybrid models, will soon be powered in part by green electricity. Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. has teamed up with Waste Services of the Bluegrass to generate power from local landfill waste, marking the region's first business to business landfill gas to energy initiative. Toyota estimates the locally-generated landfill gas will supply enough power each year for the production of 10,000 vehicles. How it Works As solid waste naturally breaks down in a landfill, it creates gas.

Recharge Wrap-up: Honda Grace hybrid goes on sale in Japan, Daimler spends 100M euros on batteries

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The Mercedes-Benz S-500 Plug-In Hybrid has earned an Environmental Certificate from the TUV Sud technical inspection authority. The award is based on a lifecycle assessment of the vehicle. This includes the ability to reduce CO2 emissions by 43 percent through charging, and by 56 percent if charged using hydroelectricity. Read more in the press release below. Daimler is expanding its production capacity for lithium-ion batteries. The company is investing around 100 million euros in its subsidiary Deutsche ACCUmotive, who will provide batteries for the electric Smart Fortwo and Forfour, as well as various Mercedes-Benz models. By the end of the construction, Deutsche ACCUmotive will have quadrupled production and logistics space since 2011. Read more in the press release below. Honda has begun sales of its Grace hybrid sedan in Japan. The Grace is based on the Honda Fit and uses the automaker's Sport Hybrid i-DCD system. It comes in front- and four-wheel-drive versions and uses a seven-speed DCT with built-in motor. The Honda Grace starts at the equivalent of about $16,500. Read more in the press release below. Honda has begun operation of its wind farm in Brazil. The farm consists of nine wind turbines, expected to produce about 95,000 MWh of electricity per year, which is on par with Honda's consumption for automobile production in the country. Honda is aiming to cut its CO2 production by 30 percent by 2020 compared to 2000 levels. Read more in the press release below. Toyota has won the 2014 World Endurance Championship's Driver and Manufacturer categories with hybrid technology. Toyota celebrated the win after the final race in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Toyota uses the same hybrid technology in its racing cars as it does in its production vehicles. Read more in the press release below. Controlled Power Technologies and other groups are calling for an international 48-volt electrical standard for vehicles. The groups called for the standard at the International Conference Automotive 48 V Power Supply Systems, saying that the 48V standard for mild hybrids would help make the systems more affordable. This will make it easier for automakers to meet the more stringent CO2 standards anticipated in coming years along with the introduction of the World Light vehicles Test Procedures.

2014 Toyota Aygo is so cross with itself

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

It almost made it, but images of the redesigned Toyota Aygo have leaked ahead of its official debut at tomorrow's Geneva Motor Show. The new Aygo sports an aggressive look overall with a, um, mark on its face.
That distinguishing design feature aside, we quite like the angular headlights and muscular overall look of this little city car. The gaping trapezoidal air intake make the Aygo look more substantial, while swollen rear wheel arches hint at something sportier than your standard commuter device.
Sportiness, though, isn't likely to be a big part of the Aygo. As it's built on the same platform as the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108, we should expect the same pair of gas-powered engines, which means at best, the Toyota will come to market with 82 horsepower under hood.
