PRICE SEEMS A BIT STEEP, BUT READ ON. I ASSURE YOU, IT'S WORTH IT. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE INQUIRING! This car is still my daily driver, registered under my name and inspected. She's still running and miles will increase. I had an offer for this car by a gentleman back in June for 1800. The only reason why the deal fell through is because he wanted the new struts installed in the car at the time of purchase and I could not accommodate his request. But upon test driving and assessing, the car was basically worth the offer. Also, more money has gone into the car since that time. I bought a car better suited for the winter months so now I am selling this car. It's a great little car, and has been very good to me. Absolutely reliable. Everything I did for this car since I took ownership back in December 3, 2012 was basically long overdue maintenance. Otherwise, no mechanical repairs were necessary nor are they now. I can't list all the things done. I have a meticulous service history for the car. They're for record purposes only as many jobs were DIYs. The major jobs however were done by a competent mechanic. I really don't drive very much, and although I have had the car for 10 months, I have only put in 6000 miles on the car. So all the repairs done on this car are recent, with most of the benefits being transferred to the new owner. This car needs nothing. Just the few big items I will list here, but keep in mind that this car is solid inside and out and much more was actually done: 1. Timing belt, tensioner, drive belt, and water pump all replaced within the last 6 months, with only 3000 miles on them. 2. New struts, all 4. Complete assembly replacement. So new springs, mounts, boots... you name it. 3. New linkages, front and rear 4. New tie rods, inner and outer 5. New coolant, complete with flush 6. New transmission gear oil. AMSOIL 75W90 7. MANY MANY MORE. 8. NEW CLUTCH!!! much lighter than the original OEM and grabs straight off the floor! 9. New mounts, engine passenger side and transmission side. 10. New tires! all 4. TOYO - Balanced and good to go! Nitrogen filled. 11. Alignments done regularly. 12. Oil changes done on the dot. This car doesn't need to be jacked for oil changes. So very convenient! currently running on Valvoline Maxlife. Excellent oil! The car isn't pretty, but it's an absolutely solid car. EVERYTHING works! and I mean everything! no blown speakers (upgraded Kenwood unit with all 4 matching Kenwood speakers. 3 way units) and all windows go up and down. (manually) And every dash lights, dome lights, AC, everything. Work like they should. Heat is awesome! it can get so hot during winter inside the car I've had back seat passengers complain about the heat! The AC is ice cold! Cons: Could do with replacement of both the front and rear engine mounts as well since they're also old and were not replaced with the other two mounts (Note, this is not essential. It's merely a recommendation). I never quite got around to it. But they're 25 dollar parts and a few hour DIYs. The result is occasionally, especially when cold and the engine has just started, there is a little bit of vibration. Other times it's absolutely smooth inside the car. The shift is a bit rough feeling as well when cold. That's cause the mounts that are new are doing all the work and they're not that pliant when cold. But this is in no way a mechanical fault on the car. I had the car driven by mechanics who said this is one of the smoothest and best running 20 year old car they've seen. My personal mechanic said that he wishes everyone looked after their car like I did. At the time of the drive I was told that the transmission mount would need to be replaced. But the right side engine mount was done as an elective. The other two mounts if replaced would probably make this car drive like new. And there is a whiff of gas due to a corroding filler neck pipe. It's a 65 dollar part and a 2 hour DIY. I could do this myself, but never got around to it since again, doesn't affect the car. In fact, only smells when the car is full to the brim in gas. Otherwise, no smell and runs perfect. Burns around .5-1.5 quarts of oil in 3000 miles. VERY normal for these cars. They all do it. And it's actually normal for cars to burn a bit of oil so this isn't unusual but I thought I'd mention it. No smoke though, at least nothing that would be considered out of the ordinary. The car's engine is still smooth and it seems to be getting better on the oil consumption since switching to Valvoline Maxlife. Lastly, paint isn't in the best shape. But the car is solid. I did what I could to prevent further oxidation and aging of the paint and metal. The car is very very clean and doesn't look too bad. I've put a ton of cash in to the car during my ownership (Well over 2000 dollars). In fact, I'm losing money selling this car. But i need a better car for the winter. I just wanna recoup some of the money I sunk into this car. Trust me, even at this price I'm losing money so don't expect to get this car for nothing. I am practically giving the car away for free. I just want some of the repair money back. That is all. I don't want anyone to think this car is unreliable. It's a TOYOTA COROLLA! these things run till you die first! and the only reason why so much money was spent was due to timing belt and clutch replacement! big cost there! but the car never stalled, broke down, over heated or left me stranded. EVER. She took me to Connecticut and back in a single day, no rest. No problems. Again, this car was good enough to receive a 1800 dollar offer. I'm sure you will appreciate this car. It will move fast! So if you're in the market for a very well kept cheap little car that will SAVE YOU MONEY GUARANTEED then don't let this little gem get away! I didn't list all the things I've done for this car! Trust me, it's worth it! Will throw in Haynes manual with car. And air filter, as well as oil filter. The car isn't pretty, but it is VERY CLEAN. I have applied clear coat to keep the car from rusting further. Currently the car has no rust, is clean and has no problems whatsoever. I'm selling this car because I got a better and newer car. When I think of selling it after only 10 months of use with all the money and repairs done, I feel like I want to keep the car but frankly can't because it would be impractical to insure 2 cars for just me. So come on over and see this little gem! Exterior isn't great, but interior is MINT and super clean! The car gets around 26 mpg in the town. Up to 34 MPG highway. I typically got 32 however. And this car is dirt cheap to insure! Reach me at 8-four-5 five-4-five 55-two-5 Please no spam, scam or paypal deals, or cashier's checks or whatever. This is a cheap car. So come with cash in hand and inspect the car yourself. This is a great little car and I promise you that you won't be disappointed! |

Watch a Camry driver in full road rage
Mon, 29 Apr 2013There are vehicles that, fair or not, will forever be associated with jerky drivers. But as this very recent footage from an in-car camera shows, even the most mundane of sedans can be piloted by an ass.
In this video, the driver of one very beige Toyota Camry is driving like a person choked with rage. Though we don't see which (if any) actions by our camera car might have lead up to the tirade, we do see the Camry driver swerving from lane to lane, in multiple attempts to get in front of and brake check the couple in the recording.
According to the text associated with the YouTube video, the offending incident took place last week, on a section of I-880 near Fremont, CA. The uploader has gone so far as to include the date, time and license plate number of the Camry driver, in hopes, we guess, that some kind of legal action can be taken against him. Take a closer look for yourself in the video below.
Toyota launches new Noah, Voxy minivans in Japan [w/videos]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014We know the feeling: you've got what seems like your whole bloodline to transport, and maybe not quite two of every living kind, but a household pet or two. So you're going to need something big to fit them all. Something like a Toyota Sienna ought to do the trick. But if you live on an Asian island that, we're sorry to say, has been known to flood in what can only be referred to as an Act of God but whose vehicles fall short of such biblical proportions, at least you can get one with a suitably biblical name. (And an awesome one at that, if this writer may say so.)
That would be Noah, the name Toyota gives to its JDM minivan. It's also known as the Voxy, and Toyota has just revealed new versions of both. Previewed in concept form at the recent Tokyo Motor Show, the production Noah and Voxy have been completely redesigned. The boxy form allows for as many as eight seats and a low, flat-folding cargo floor to accommodate your whole clan and all the stuff you could buy from Uniqlo and Muji with the roomiest interior in its class.
Toyota is offering both with a variety of gasoline and hybrid powertrain configurations driving the front wheels or all four through a continuously variable transmission in a range of trim levels starting from 2.18 million yen (equivalent to $20,952 at today's rates) to 3.4 million yen ($32,694). The Voxy is sold through Toyota's network of Netz dealerships across Japan, and the Noah through its parallel Corolla dealers. Along with the pair of video clips and the high-res image galleries top and bottom, there are plenty of details in the press release below, where you can read more about the flexible seating arrangements and all the latest tech. Just don't expect to be reading dimensions measured in cubits and construction from gopher wood.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
