You are looking at a 2009 Toyota Corolla XRS that had an engine failure.  The car is the top of the line model XRS that has the upgraded 2.4L 4 cylinder engine and sport suspension, brakes, and a few other touches that make it stand out from the other models.  This one has been driven a lot- 132000 miles and it has some wear and tear but has held up well.  It has not been in an accident, has original paint, and driven on the highway a lot.  The paint has scratches here and there but most notably there are long scratches on the hood (see pic) and some on the roof from dragging something across it when the paint was dirty.  The roof has very minor hail damage but there is no hail on the rest of the car.  The front left fender has a small 2 inch dent.  The front bumper lower valences or ground effects have both been bumped and are loose.  The front bumper has plenty of nicks from rocks but is in good condition.  The only other body dent issue to note is the right rear door has a 4 inch or so dent (see pic).  There are some decent scratches on the rear bumper valence on the bottom left. (see pic). The paint otherwise will shine up nicely.  The interior could use some cleaning but is fairly clean already, and is in good condition.  It has black cloth seats that are made of quality cloth and are in good condition.  The carpet has a few stains.  The carpet and the floor mat under the drivers pedals has a wear mark that goes all the way through the fabric.  The dash is in good condition.  Options include a 6 disc cd changer, bluetooth hand free system with voice activation, XM capable stereo, AC, Sunroof, power mirrors, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, keyless entry (with one FOB), two glove boxes, and lots of cup holders.  The passenger side door hinge limiter (that keeps the door from opening too far) is broken in half and needs to be replaced.

Mechanically- The engine through a rod through the block and is not repairable.  It needs a new engine and does not start.  It has a 5 speed automatic transmission, stability control (with a switch to turn it off), and anti-lock brakes.  The wheels are the XRS-only 17 inch aluminum wheels with 215/45/17 tires.  The tires need to be replaced immediately. 

Overall this car has a lot of potential to either be a great car for the buyer or to make money if the intention is to fix and sell.  Please look up many different online appraisal estimates and then also search for other cars like this for sale to see what they are selling for.  The XRS trim line is uncommon and often sells for more then book value because of this.  Sold as is, not running, and needs to be towed at the buyers expense.  I will coopereate with any shipping arrangements made by the buyer at the buyers expense. Please ask any pertinent questions prior to bidding and I will get back to you ASAP!  Thank you very much for looking!

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of

MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.

Impala crashes into Land Cruiser... to hide from a cheetah

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

What would you do if a wild animal jumped into your vehicle through an open window during an African safari? What if said animal was an impala being chased by cheetahs? Though the scenario seems unbelievable, that's just what happened to a group of tourists in Kruger National Park in South Africa, and it was all caught on video.
With the tour groups stopped, a motorist with a video camera handy happens to catch the unlikely sight of a herd of impalas (not that kind of Impala) jumping over the tarmac while being followed, quickly of course, by two cheetahs. The feline predators thought they had cornered one impala and were closing in for the kill when it jumped through the open window of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - South Africa's version of the Lexus GX. Fortunately for the occupants of said vehicle, the cheetahs did not follow.
A short while later, one of the occupants in the Toyota fearlessly opens a door to let the poor animal out. It must have been its lucky day, because the cheetahs didn't take pursuit. Check out the circle life get interrupted by this traffic jam in the video below.
