1998 White Toyota Corolla Le 4-door, The Perfect New Driver's Car on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:235588
Location:

Warrenton, Missouri, United States

Warrenton, Missouri, United States

Like sand through the hour-glass, so go the days of our lives, and this car has been a big part of our lives.


This is a 1998 Toyota Corolla LE.  The car has 235,588 miles.  We acquired the car in 2003 when it had 65,925 miles.  Since we have owned the car we have replace all four struts, rebuilt the brakes (front and rear), purchased one new battery and replace the power-steering pressure hose.  Oil has been routinely change every 5,000 miles.  The car drives straight, stops straight, and the air conditioner is nice and cold.  Cruise control works, as does the AM/FM Cassette Stereo. 

 

As disclosed above, the check engine light is on due to the depleted catalyst in the catalytic converter. I have enquired of a local mechanic and the cost of parts and labor to correct this issue is approximately $350.00.  This statement is not to be construed as a warranty or guarantee, it is simply a disclosure of the one deficiency that I know of with respect to the mechanical soundness of the car.   

 

Regarding the body, the clear coating is peeling off of the hood.  There is a crack in the nose which is shown in the pictures.  The wheels could benefit from a good scrubbing and likewise the carpeting could use a thorough shampooing.  That said, the seats are all in-tact with no rips, holes or tears.  This has been a non-smoking car.  All feature of the sun-roof are fully functional.  The vinyl material covering the door pillar on the passenger side is deteriorating.  


We purchased this car for our daughter prior to her 16th birthday.  I presented the keys to her with the following admonishment; "If you take care of this car, change the oil like I instructed and pay attention to the details, it will last you through high school, college, graduate school and your first two years of gainful employment.  By that time you should have saved a decent down payment for a new car."  I am happy to disclose that she did just that and the car served her as described.


I consider this car very reliable.  I drive 45 miles one way to work everyday.  If my primary driver had two flat tires in the garage tomorrow, I would have no qualms about grabbing the keys and driving the Toyota until my primary car was repaired.  


You are responsible for transporting the car to your abode.  I am willing to work with you on scheduling.  


Regarding payment, Cash is King.  Cashier's Check or Fed-wire are acceptable alternatives.  If your opt to pay by Fed-wire you will be responsible for all transfer fees.  If you choose to remit by cashiers check, I will retain the title until your funds are fully collected.  But bring your cash and you can drive it home.

Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.

Toyota Avalon celebrates 20 years with Touring Sport Edition

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Toyota Avalon may not have the sportiest image on the market. Heck, it doesn't even have the sportiest image in the Toyota lineup. But the Japanese automaker is out to fix that perception, at least a little bit, with the launch of the new Touring Sport Edition.
Announced together with some minor updates to the entire Avalon line - consisting primarily of enhanced safety and infotainment systems - the Avalon XLE Touring Sport Edition celebrates the 20th anniversary of Toyota's large sedan line. Setting this special edition apart are a black paintjob, HID headlights, LED daytime running lights, 18-inch alloys (similar in design to those on the Scion FR-S) and an interior decked out with perforated leather with dark blue trim... plus, of course, the requisite special badges inside and out.
Only 2,500 units will be offered with a $37,170 sticker price that puts it near (if not quite at) the top of the Avalon range that's capped by the $41,700 Avalon Hybrid Limited. Pricing has increased on most models by around two percent, and you can scope out all the details of the updates to the full range in the press releases below.

2015 Toyota Prius C is still colorful, still gets 53 mpg

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Few vehicles can match the affordable fuel economy of the $19,000, 53-mile-per-gallon Toyota Prius C, and that fact isn't likely to change for 2015, as the Japanese company has issued a moderate refresh of its sub-compact hybrid.
As mid-cycle refreshes go, this is a pretty standard affair, with a larger grille and tweaked LED headlights at the front of the Prius C, and more expressive taillights at the back. Toyota made some minor changes in the cabin, updating materials throughout, but not fiddling too much with the overall level of equipment.
Aside from those modest changes, this is the same fuel-efficient five-door, retaining its 1.5-liter, 73-horsepower, 82-pound-foot four-cylinder, while an electric motor tosses in an extra 26 ponies, for a total system output of 99 horsepower. Along with the 53-mpg highway rating, the C will return 46 mpg in the city.
