Find or Sell Used Cars, Trucks, and SUVs in USA

'10 Toyota Corolla Le Sedan 1.8l. 25k Mi Certified To 100k By Toyota on 2040-cars

Akron, Ohio, United States

Akron, Ohio, United States

I've been listing cars for the past 12 years for friends, family and clients who accept my approach.   I have 40 yrs experience as a mechanical engineer in the automobile after market.  I describe vehicles carefully and accurately, reveal any defects, provide buyers with all available service records and  photos including the underside of the vehicle--something 99% of eBay sellers would rather you not know about apparently.  That's where a lot of the money gets spent on a used car.  Since I sell world-wide we have sent vehicles to Europe, Mexico, the Middle East and all over the US, I can't afford any surprises.

Pricing

Auction is NO-RESERVE meaning the car will sell to the last bidder.  this could be the first bidder if there is only one bid of course.  once there is an opening bid, the car will sell thru eBay.  In the mean time if I get an acceptable offer locally and there has not been a bid yet this auction will get the automotive equivalent of what Arlo Guthrie called 'the disappearing railroad blues'.  Dealers would clean up the defects I mentioned and put this car out there for at least $13,500, so do your own math and if you'd rather end the suspense, send me your idea.  However, once there is a bid, i have to let the auction run it's course.  


The Scoop

I'm listing this very clean Corolla for a friend.  It was driven by her non-smoking niece to get back and forth to college.  It's done about half the miles of the typical 2010 and has the balance of the Toyota Certified PO warrantee (to 2017 or 100k miles).  This is transferable to subsequent owners until it expires. I have a card from Toyota to send in with the new owners information.  

The car has been serviced at Ganley Toyota in Akron needing only oil chnages, fluid interval checks with  no mechanical issues to date.

Scammers?  

Hope there's no hard feelings after I sent that 250,000 piece scam-bomb to your mail server after the last time you tried a scam on me?  Don’t even think about it!  I do not do bundled shipping.  I don’t care if you are in the merchant marine or your late dad was the president of Sri Lanka--if you don’t have a PayPal account we aren’t doing business, period.  And furthermore, please practice your English on more gullible sellers.  The boiler rooms you guys call from are so noisy these days I can hear your buddies in the background asking the same stupid scammer questions:  “So why are you selling your... ‘item’…”  There's always the chance that you are actually interested in aluminum siding or the free ginzu knives you got all those offers for.   All it cost me was a bottle of 15 yr old scotch to my friend with a pHd in computer security.  Want some more of that action?  Then scam on brothers.


Bidders' Qualifications:

Feedback less than 10?   You must me an e-mail with your phone number so we can discuss my terms and conditions.   I welcome legitimate international bidders and have sent vehicles to Europe and the middle east but please contact me before bidding to discuss your shipping plans.

400-hp Toyota Hybrid-R Concept gets second teaser

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Toyota has released a second teaser of its Hybrid-R Concept, along with an estimation of the show car's power output. Using technology that's "similar to that used by Toyota Racing's TS030 Hybrid race car," the concept is expected to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The press release also mentions that the new concept is based on a current production model. While it's difficult to tell from the sole teaser image of the car's body, rumors are flying that it's related to the Yaris. If that's the case, though, it's difficult to know what to make of this concept. The teaser image is quite dark, but we played around with the exposure and came up with an image that reveals more details about the new concept. Take a look at the related gallery, below, to see the high-exposure image. We'll find out for certain what the Hybrid-R is in a few weeks at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Let us know what you think Toyota's newest concept is in the comments.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Toyota develops new pre-collision system with steering assist

Sun, 13 Oct 2013

A number of automakers are working on developing fully autonomous cars, but it looks like the groundwork for such technologies will likely show up first as semi-autonomous systems for both safety and convenience. Following recent announcements from Nissan and Ford in this area, Toyota has now released information for some of its advanced semi-autonomous technologies that could be offered in production cars over the next few years.
On the safety front, Toyota's new pre-collision system with pedestrian-avoidance steering assist is aimed at protecting the folks who aren't in the car. This system combines visual and audible alerts with automatic brake assist and automatic steering. If warnings don't get the driver to slow down, the brake assist kicks in if a collision is very likely, but if that is still not able to avoid the impending collision (and if there is enough room to do so), the car can automatically steer itself around the pedestrian. This sounds most beneficial for last-second dangers such as a person accidently stepping out into the road in front of a car. Toyota hopes to have this technology available to customers by 2015.
The Japanese automaker is also testing a suite of technologies called Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA). The key part of this is a new adaptive cruise control system that uses vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications rather than a radar-based system. This cooperative-adaptive cruise control allows vehicles to communicate their acceleration and deceleration data with other cars, which Toyota says this helps to improve fuel efficiency and traffic flow. Also a part of AHDA is the Lane Trace Control feature, which sounds like a next-gen lane keep assist. This system uses cameras, radar and a computer to keep the vehicle in a "smooth driving line" by being able to change steering angle, engine torque and braking force. Toyota says this technology could be in place by the "mid-2010s."
