 What You See Is What You Get...

SUPER Reliable 1996 Toyota Corolla DX Wagon, but there is a story a problem that I FULLY RESOLVED.

The previous owner had a "malfunctioning odometer" and the odometer does not reflect the accurate mileage. Although the engine was COMPLETELY REBUILT 3,000 miles ago, the NJ DMV brought to my attention the car's accurate mileage is 300,000. The title is CLEAR, and reflects this discrepancy.

I have ALL the receipts of the rebuild, and will provide to owner. This car was a work vehicle in a past life, and would make a great commuter car, first car, or work vehicle again.

THE GOOD:

Mechincally this car is a dream. Smooth clutch, starts right up, COLD A/C.
Towing Hitch w/ 4 wide harness
Roof Racks
Lots of space

Here is a list of the new engine parts preformed March 12, 2013.

Replaced:


Piston & Rings

Main Bearing

Rob Bearing

Thrust Washers

Oil Pump

Water Pump

Timing Belt

Engine Seal (Front & rear)

Valve Stem Seals

All Gaskets

Spark Plugs

Radiator

Knock Sensor

Alarm System

The Bad (reflected in pictures):

Scratches throughout exterior.

Scratches on some of the interior panels

Small seat rip on passenger seat, small wear mark on driver (needs seat covers)

Rear windshield wiper is just there for looks. It doesn't work.

Minor fade marks to steering wheel.

Passenger side power lock button and key lock does not work (driver side does and remote unlocks door)

Back deck was manufactured by previous owner and is not stock

The engine light throws a knock sensor code every couple weeks. I'm assuming it is an occasional short in the system as the sensor is brand new, and the light is not constant.

Small rust spot underneath the rear passenger side door

Will need tires/alignment within the next couple months (uneven wear cause wobble in steering wheel over 65mph).

I am selling this car because I had a truck, wanted a vehicle I could do "truck like" things with, but at a cheaper cost on gas. But I miss having an actual truck. So time for it to go.

Toyota may return to F1 under Lexus banner

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

A new report in from the website Club Lexus claims to have insider knowledge about a return to Formula One racing by Toyota, this time under the auspices of the Lexus brand. Toyota competed in F1 from 2002 through the 2009 season. That final year saw the team return competitive, if inconsistent results, but the larger economic woes in the automotive market made a decision to pull the plug relatively easy at the time.
Now, citing recent interviews with Toyota executives and insider sources, Club Lexus says that the move to re-enter F1 for the 2014 season is "all but finalized." The choice to go with the Lexus nameplate over Toyota makes some sense, too, considering the success that rival Infiniti has had in recent years through its partnership with Red Bull Racing. Further, the emerging Lexus identity as a performance car builder, with a strong background in hybrid vehicles, could help the F1 move resonate with buyers.
A few technological factors and formula changes within F1 offer some credence to the Lexus rumor, too. F1 will increase the available capacity of KERS from 60kW to 120kW, a change that theoretically benefits the hybrid-savvy Toyota. What's more, 2014 will see a switch from the current 2.4-liter V8 engines to 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s. A Lexus team that goes racing in 2014 will be on a level playing field with the rest of the grid then, with all teams adjusting to and continuing to develop the new engines.

Manga stylized Toyota Aygo takes on Godzilla

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

Japan has given the world so much to enthuse over. We're not sure the Toyota Aygo is necessarily one of them as much as, say, the Scion FR-S or Lexus LFA (especially since it's actually made in Europe), but for many Nipponophiles, the centuries-old artistic discipline of Manga certainly is. And now the two have come together in this two-and-a-half-minute animated short.
In Toyota's own take on the classic narrative, an Aygo animated by celebrated artist Sonia Leong takes on Godzilla. As in, a giant lizard rampaging through a Japanese city, not the Nissan GT-R, against which the little Toyota would certainly stand even less of a chance by any metric other than affordability, fuel economy or ability to park in tight spots.
In any case, watch this Manga-fied video above, and feel free to read through the related press release below.

Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger

Mon, Jun 15 2015

Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.
