THE GOOD: This is an amazingly good running little car. Everything works as it should- cold air conditioning on hot summer days, plenty of heat on cold days. It has an Alpine AM-FM CD stereo system. Exterior has some scratches here and there, and a pretty obvious scar on the right rear bumper. No major dents to be found. Gas mileage is excellent. It never fails to start immediately, even on the coldest days. It runs perfect, and the engine is very smooth and quiet. In the last several months it's had new battery, new front struts/shocks, new tires (Goodyear), transmission serviced and fluid changed, coolant drained and replaced, complete brake service with new pads, etc new valve cover gasket and PCV valve, new air filter, engine tune-up. The interior is decent, no rips, tears, etc., it has gray cloth seats. It has a lot of miles, but then I've seen Toyotas still running well at 300,000.

THE BAD: The car has one flaw I'm aware of- it consumes oil. I've had the valve cover replaced, as well as the PCV valve, both are normally suspect when a car is using oil. Once warmed up, there is not a trace of smoke from the tailpipe. However, on cold mornings, it sometimes produces a small amount of blue smoke for the first couple of minutes, then it goes away. I've had two different shops look at it and try to diagnose it. One was the Toyota dealer, who thought it was valve cover gasket (it's not), PCV valve (not that either), or oil pan gasket (haven't tried that yet, but I don't think that's it). The oil pan gasket is about a $200 job, and I don't see any sign of drips or leaks anywhere on it. The other shop thinks that it's burning a lot of oil on cold starts, which they say isn't at all uncommon for the 1.8 liter engine. You can park the car for days, and there are absolutely no drips or leaks anywhere. So I just make sure to check the oil very regularly, and add as needed. It's an inconvenience, but I simply can't find the culprit for where the oil is going! I think the cold engine theory is most likely, as that's when you can sometimes see a little blue smoke out the tail pipe.

So, the bottom line is, it's a great running, very fuel efficient little car with a good maintenance history, and everything in working order. It has a few scratches and imperfections, but nothing real bad, and no rust. Decent interior, great stereo, and a nice ride. It has a lot of zip for a little 1.8 four cylinder engine. If you don't mind checking the oil very regularly, and keeping it topped off, it'll make a great little car for somebody, especially at the price! The car is for sale locally as well as on e-bay, so if you think you're interested, I really don't believe it'll last long. Kelly Blue Book in "good" condition with the miles on it is $2,581.00, and in "fair" condition is $2,081.00. So I accounted for the oil issue, and set the price accordingly. The car has a clear title, which will be signed off and turned over with a cash payment.

Does Scion's LA concept presage a US Auris?

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

When the doors open at the LA Auto Show in a few weeks, Scion will be on hand to showcase its new iM Concept. But considering what little Toyota's youthful brand has revealed about the concept so far, it's led to rampant speculation. And the prevailing wisdom seems to point towards a production iM arriving as a Scion-badged version of the Toyota Auris.
For those unfamiliar, the Auris is to European (and other) markets essentially what the Matrix is (was?) to ours: a hatchback version of the Corolla. The model line was first introduced in 2006, looking in its first iteration like an overgrown version of the contemporary second-gen Yaris, and was replaced with the current model in 2012. It's available as a five-door hatch or wagon, with a range of gasoline, diesel and hybrid powertrains available.
If the rumors - spurred by the similarity of the iM concept's nose depicted in the teasers - prove accurate, and public reception to the idea ends up spurring Toyota to put it into action, it wouldn't be the first overseas Toyota brought over as a Scion. The Scion iQ was sold as the Toyota iQ overseas years before it arrived here.

Question of the Day: Ever consider driving a minivan?

Thu, May 12 2016

Since I'm supposed to know something about cars, it happens all the time: friends and relatives ask me advice about what kind of vehicle they should get. Very often, the only type of vehicle that can check every item on their wish list (e.g., hauls lots of people and stuff, gets good fuel economy, has great crash-test ratings, can take four Great Danes camping, and so on) is a modern minivan... and, of course, nobody wants to hear this. I'm not a minivan person, they will wail, and so they end up with a cramped, fuel-swilling SUV or a not-so-space-efficient minivan-in-disguise CUV. So, is it worth becoming one of those minivan people in order to get the incredible usefulness of these masterpieces of vehicle engineering, or do you hold your head high and drive something that doesn't quite meet your needs?
