2003 Toyota Corolla S Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Aurora, Illinois, United States
|
On
behalf of my friend I am auctioning his 2003 Toyota Corolla S which runs but
cannot be driven due to a broken left front spring. The car has 166,068 miles. He
is the 2nd owner. It is silver with black cloth interior. Some of
the equipment on this Corolla includes: automatic transmission; power
locks/windows/mirrors; keyless entry; cruise control; and AM/FM CD player. The
car has a clean and clear Illinois title. Please read below for a detailed
description of this Corolla.
MECHANICAL The car
starts right away and runs strong with smooth shifts. There are no leaks or unusual
noises but the engine compartment is dirty. My friend has kept up with all
regular maintenance and just put new tires on in November, 2013. The suspension,
however, needs work. The left front spring broke and it appears it will also need
front struts and inner/outer tie rods. There is also a loud popping noise when
turning the steering wheel. No formal inspections have been done so this is
just an assumption of what is needed with the suspension.
EXTERIOR As
would be expected from an 11 year old car the exterior is showing signs of age.
There are dings, scratches, faded paint, and rust throughout. There is no major
body damage. As far as my friend knows the only accident the car was involved
in was a low speed parking lot fender bender that required paint work to the
left front fender.
INTERIOR The
interior just needs a good cleaning as we are coming out of a long winter here
in the Chicago area. There are no signs of unusual wear to the interior of the
car or unusual odors. Also it’s important to note that my friend is not a
smoker and has no pets.
TERMS
OF SALE
The car
is under a reserve auction and the final reserve amount will not be disclosed.
The car is listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
The car can be inspected in Aurora, IL on week nights with advance notice but
because of the broken left front spring I cannot let you take the car on a test
drive for liability reasons. You are not bidding on a cream puff – this is an
11 year old car that has been driven daily and needs suspension work so please
keep that in mind when bidding. That
being said this car is being sold as is and where is. There are no guarantees,
warranties, or refunds. If you buy this car you must pay a $1000 deposit within
48 hours and the full balance within a week. You must also arrange transportation
– again the car is not safe to drive. If you are paying by cashier’s check the
vehicle will not be released until funds are confirmed. Please only bid if you
are serious about buying this car. I will answer any questions you have so
please feel free to ask them before bidding! |

Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models
Wed, 30 Jan 2013The recall bug strikes Toyota again. The automaker has issued a voluntary recall of three models that, in total, represent more than one million units. Around 752,000 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being recalled for airbag concerns, while a windshield wiper issue is causing the recall for close to 270,000 Lexus IS sedans from the 2006-2012 model years.
Completely unrelated to the small airbag-related recall issued earlier in the week, the Corolla and Matrix recall is caused by a faulty airbag control module that could potentially short circuit, which could lead to the front airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying. The Lexus recall is due to a wiper arm nut that wasn't tightened properly, which can cause the wipers to not work when trying to clear heavy buildup such as snow.
Scroll down for a press release that includes more information, as well as details about how owners can contact the manufacturer directly.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Toyota announces GT86 CS-R3 rally car
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Toyota Motorsport GmbH has developed cars for all manner of racing, up to and including Formula One and Le Mans. But it got its start back in 1979 in rally competition, winning four drivers' and three manufacturers' titles in the World Rally Championship. And now it's announced a new rally car.
Based on the Toyota GT86 (better known to us as the Scion FR-S), the CS-R3 rally car isn't built to contest the top tier of the WRC, but is being developed to conform to the lower R3 class. That means a six-speed sequential gearbox, limited slip differential and upgraded engine, brakes, aero... the works. It'll retain the road-going model's rear-drive setup, joining the front-drive Yaris R1A in TMG's portfolio of customer rally cars.
Further details are set to be revealed "in the coming months", but the GT86 CS-R3 will benefit from the experience TMG accrued in developing the GT86 CS-V3 (pictured above) for the Nürburgring-based VLN endurance racing series.
