2006 Corolla LE sedan VIN # - 2T1BR32E76C591371
I bought this car new for my wife in 2006. It has had Mobil 1 engine oil in it since the first oil change and I've changed the oil at 5000 mile intervals since then. It has about 1000 miles on the last oil change. A few months ago I gave it to my son and bought my wife a new 2013. But he has to be a macho-man and drive a big SUV thing which he already complains costs too much to run. So now I'm selling the pretty-much perfect 2006. To you I guess.
Early on I replaced the wimpy OEM horns to some Serious loud and impressive sounding units. I later installed Continental's highest wet-traction rated tires and I guess they are still about half there. Fabulous tires too - they made it handle at least 200% better than the original tires - it just became a completely different car with the Continentals on it. The brakes are all new and the brake fluid was flushed and changed at 60K miles. Whatever it says in the owners manual to do to the car - I have always done. I always kept the car nice for her. Not too long ago, maybe last fall, the dealer replaced the CPU computer unit even though I specifically told them not to as I was having no issues with it. It was a recall and I guess they like to back charge Toyota whenever they can.
I have four Toyotas now and have had more in the past. They always treat me like gold, never cause any problems, and apparently run like a fine watch forever. One of mine is over 20 years old now too.
With less than 62K miles on this 2006 - my thought was that it would last my son well through his doctorate degree and then maybe he could teach His son to drive in it - but I guess he knows more than the old man. This 2006 will Run down the road too. It's astonishingly fast and has averaged about 32-34mpg ever since it was new. No wait; the first tank it got 30.9 mpg - but never again that low.
This is basically a clean, well cared for, adult driven, non-smoking Corolla which has no real flaws other the scrape on the rear bumper. I'm not sure that anything other than cloth grocery bags have ever been in the trunk. You can see that the paint looks very nice, the car has always been kept washed and waxed and under cover, the carpet and interior is nice, and everything functions just as it should with no issues. The car runs, drives, and looks great and will no doubt last for another 200K miles. I am Very sorry now that I didn't just keep this 2006 and not buy the 2013 at all.
Any questions - just let me know.
Good luck 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.

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept
Sat, Nov 22 2014"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.

Toyota To Stop Building Cars In Australia
Tue, Feb 11 2014Toyota said Monday it will stop making cars in Australia by the end of 2017, spelling a final blow to auto manufacturing in the country, where car companies say high production costs and tough competition have crippled business conditions. Toyota's announcement, which will result in the loss of around 2,500 jobs, was widely anticipated, coming just two months after General Motors Co. said it would end production in Australia by 2017. Ford Motor Co. announced in May that it would cease Australian production in 2016. All told, some 6,600 manufacturing jobs will be lost between the three companies. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. stopped manufacturing in Australia in 2008. Toyota Motor Corp. said its decision was based on a combination of factors including the high Australian dollar, the high cost of manufacturing and competition. "We did everything that we could to transform our business," Toyota Australia CEO Max Yasuda said in a statement. "But the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia." Toyota President Akio Toyoda delivered the news to workers at the company's Altona plant near Melbourne, where he paid tribute to 50 years of Toyota cars being built in Australia. "To now have to deliver this news to the very people we have worked so hard with, to the many people who have supported our production for so many years, is most regretful for Toyota and, for me personally, simply heartbreaking," he said. Toyota, which has been manufacturing cars in Australia since 1963, currently makes the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Aurion in the country. It will become a sales company. Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane said Toyota had not asked the government for any financial assistance in the lead-up to its decision. The government had subsidized auto manufacturing, hoping to keep the industry alive as it supports tens of thousands of jobs in other areas including auto parts. Holden, which is the Australian arm of GM, received 1.8 billion Australian dollars ($1.6 billion) in federal government assistance in the past 11 years. Auto makers in Australia produced about 178,000 cars in 2012, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers.
