Our daughter is the second owner of this car; she has driven it for the past 11 years. She has maintenance records; kept up with oil changes and any needed maintenance, up to date registration, etc. She has the owner's manual, too. The A/C runs cold, the heater runs hot. The stereo/CD player has the removable front plate. The car is smoke-free. The cruise control works, the power windows work. The car has a thermometer on the dash indicating the outside temperature. The fabric on the seats is in good condition, no rips or tears. The back door handles are broken, can't open the doors from the inside. The back door lock on the passenger side has to be unlocked/locked manually; the driver's side lock needs to be locked manually at times.  All 4 tires are less than 1 year old.  Headliner fabric is separating in many places. The car has paint issues on the hood (fading, chipping). The windshield has a crack across the top about halfway across the windshield - out of the driver's view.  The amber check light comes on intermittently; had it checked - our mechanic said it's not a problem when driving the car, but it would need to be turned off in order to pass inspection. The car runs great, smooth ride. Few dings, scratches; never been in a wreck. The car has a spare tire, jack and tools; all in the trunk.  All in all, the car is great for running around town (although it has made many trips cross country when our daughter was attending college in California). Please note: the car is sold as-is and there is no warranty implied. Please call Mike at 817.675.9787 if you have any questions. Thank you.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.

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.

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it

Thu, 05 Jun 2014



Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.
