2005 Toyota Corolla Xrs Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Meridian, Mississippi, United States
Up for sale is my 2005 Toyota Corolla XRS. The XRS is Toyota's souped up version of the Corolla. With the same Yamaha 2ZZ-GE used in the Lotus Elise and a tight 6-speed manual transmission, this car is athletic and zippy. The suspension is lowered and tightened at the factory, giving her sure and nimble footing. Check it out on Google or Wikipedia! The XRS is superbly well built and very popular. I have taken excellent care of this car. All factory recommended maintenance has been performed at proper intervals. Oil changes have been performed every 5000 miles with Mobil-1 synthetic. She has been hand washed, hand waxed, and garage kept her entire life. She sports several upgrades, including - Pin-striping and wheel well accents - Professional tint job on back windows and sunroof - Motegi lightweight alloy wheels - Bridgestone Potenza tires - Injen cold air intake - Magnaflow exhaust - TWM short shifter with weighted shift knob - Sony XPLOD radio head unit - Bazooka sub-woofer and amplifier Nothing has been done to the engine and drive train, excluding routine maintenance such as fluid changes. She is extremely reliable, and has never given me trouble or left me stranded. - The engine runs strong and starts every time in all weather conditions. It idles smoothly and pulls cleanly through the rev range. - The transmission shifts smoothly and all gears and synchros engage without trouble. The short shifter gives each gear a very exact and precise feel. - The clutch and flywheel have less than 40000 miles and work perfectly; smooth engagement with no grinding or slipping. - The XRS features four-wheel ABS brakes, which work extremely well. They grab hard and track straight. - The steering tracks true and has recently had the alignment and balance checked in January when the new tires were installed. - The A/C was recharged last summer and blows ice cold. So much so that the top two settings are really only needed after a long day in a hot parking lot. - All lights and indicators are good, including high beams, fog lights, and interior lights. - All electronics function good as new. Cruise control works properly, all power windows track properly from top to bottom, all power locks work correctly, wireless key fob locks and unlocks every time. - Fuel economy is very good. I routinely get 28 MPG on my split city / highway commute. Roadtrips normally show better than 32 MPG. - The interior is in great condition. Floor mats and carpet are new-car clean. Head liner is un-torn / un-stained. Seats and upholstery are mostly clean with some small discolorations and no rips or tears. - The exterior is in fantastic condition. No rust, dents, or body damage. Paint is clean and even. She looks like a much younger car! Also included are user manual, wheel lock-nut tool, stock shifter and knob, stock intake, and stock radio. For a list of required maintenance, click here To see her current maintenance status, click here Despite her excellent condition, she is still a used car and sports a few blemishes. There are some scratches on the right running board, a couple door dings from other cars, two bird poop spots on the hood, and various small nicks on the front of the hood. There are also some discolorations on the rear seat upholstery and the interior driver door handle is peeling on the back side. She also took a love tap to the bumper a year or two back while I was stationed in Pensacola. Fortunately, no serious or structural damage was done, and the damage was replaced with OEM Toyota parts by a certified professional body shop. It was a service in disguise, as the old bumper was pretty scratched up from whatever the previous owner liked to drag in and out of his trunk. This car has a clean history and will show up well above average on any vin history check. Check out the free one eBay provides at the top of this description. This is a truly excellent car with no parallel. She looks great, runs great, drives great, handles great, and has been a blast to own. Sadly, I am changing duty stations with the Navy and it is time for me to part ways. I'm going to miss her! This car has been a reliable friend for some of the best years of my life; I hope she can go on to serve you just as well! Buyer owes $500 deposit immediately upon winning auction. Full amount due within one week. Buyer is responsible for shipping. You've got questions, I've got answers!

Honda, Subaru airlifting parts to bypass port labor diputes
Fri, Feb 6 2015It should be abundantly obvious that a vital element in building cars is actually having the components on hand to assemble them. A labor dispute on the West Coast between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and management is not making that quite so easy for some Japanese automakers. Work slowdowns at the ports have pushed Honda and Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries into flying some parts into the country. The two automakers began shipping by airplane late last month to avoid production delays, according to Bloomberg, but it has been an expensive solution. Subaru's chief financial officer said the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. They aren't the only companies dealing with the problem, either. Toyota reportedly stopped overtime assembly at some of its factories here because of the delays in getting parts, according to Bloomberg. The dockworkers have been negotiating on a new contract since May 2014, and the current offer on the table to them has offered a 3 percent raise, according to Bloomberg. Although, the union is reportedly considering another slowdown at 29 ports along the West Coast in the coming days.

At meeting with automakers, Trump launches new attack on NAFTA
Fri, May 11 2018WASHINGTON — Ten American and foreign automakers went to the White House on Friday to push for a weakening of U.S. fuel efficiency standards through 2025, while President Donald Trump used the occasion to launch a fresh attack on the North American Free Trade Agreement that has benefited the companies. A draft proposal circulated by the U.S. Transportation Department would freeze fuel efficiency requirements at 2020 levels through 2026, rather than allowing them to increase as previously planned. Trump's administration is expected to formally unveil the proposal later this month or in June. "We're working on CAFE standards, environmental controls," Trump told reporters at the top of the meeting, referring to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for cars and light trucks in the United States. Trump said he wants automakers to build more vehicles in the United States and export more vehicles. But much of the hour-long meeting focused on NAFTA. Trump blasted the pact involving the United States, Canada and Mexico as "terrible" and noted that negotiations to make changes sought by his administration were ongoing. "NAFTA has been a horrible, horrible disaster for this country and we'll see if we can make it reasonable," Trump said. Automakers have called NAFTA a success, allowing them to integrate production throughout North America and make production competitive with Asia and Europe, and have noted the increase in auto production over the past two decades with the deal in place. They have warned that changing NAFTA too much could prompt some companies to move production out of the United States. The chief executives of General Motors Co, Ford Motor Co, Fiat Chrysler, along with senior U.S. executives from Toyota Motor Corp, Volkswagen AG, Hyundai Motor Co, Nissan Motor Co, Honda Motor Co , BMW AG and Daimler AG met with Trump, as did the chief executives of two auto trade groups. Major automakers reiterated this week they do not support freezing fuel efficiency requirements but said they want new flexibility and rule changes to address lower gasoline prices and the shift in U.S. consumer preferences to bigger, less fuel-efficient vehicles.

FEV's plug-in hybrid battery pack has gone into vehicle series production. The 10-kWh battery pack, developed by the German development services provider, offers an all-electric range of about 30 miles. FEV says its battery management algorithms are just as important as choosing the right battery hardware. "The core system for the battery development is our own mature battery management system (BMS), now in its third generation, that together with optimized algorithms allows a very reliable and stable control of the battery," says FEV's Dr. Michael Stapelbroek. Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release from FEV below.
