DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS AND INTEND TO PURCHASE. This is not a fire sale it was difficult for the owner to make the decision to sell her car. Her husband, one of my very best friends, passed away a few months ago and she is selling the MR2 because their SUV is currently more practical. So please don't play games. If you want a "buy it now" email me with a phone number.

I am listing this car for the original owner, a very close family friend. The car was purchased new by her and has been well cared for as the photos will indicate.

As noted in the "defects area the only item on this car requiring attention is the front facia which has the usual damage inflicted by years of driving. We considered repainting the front facia prior to selling (cost of $350) but then the question of damage or an accident could be asked. So take a look at the photos, repainting the facia will bring the cars finish to a very nice level.

This car has never been in an accident and drives straight and stops true. The motor and drive train has been well maintained with regular service and only minor maintenance items needed during its life such as a MAP sensor and Oxygen sensor replacement. The water pump was replaced as well as the usual belts, brake pads and service items. The car retains its original clutch and shifts as it should. I do not know the life of a clutch in an MR2 but there is no slippage or chatter indicating a need for service.

New rear tires were installed at 116,877 miles and front tires have about 60% wear remaining. A new top was installed in May of 2012 at a cost of $1620.00. The fit is perfect.

The interior is in excellent condition with no dash cracks, no fading and just the normal wear on the seats with no tears. The car was always garage kept and is owned by a non-smoker. Everything on the car works as it should.

There are no defects, rock chips in the windshield or door glass

While there are some tiny marks on the wheels there is no "curb rash" where the wheels have been ground against a curb.

If you are looking for a very clean and desirable ONE OWNER MR2 requiring very little effort to make it a near perfect example this is the car for you. The car shows like one with half the miles. You will not be disappointed.

I invite and recommend a personal inspection. The car is located in Mission Viejo, California. While I have endeavored to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible I once again recommend a personal inspection and am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

Please do not bid on this car unless you have the ability to complete the transaction. By bidding you are committed to purchase if you are the winning bidder and you should consider this a binding contract.

There is no warranty expressed or implied.

This vehicle is advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason.

Toyota RAV4 EV lease gets cut in half to $299/month

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, now is definitely the time to buy or lease. Following price drops on just about every other EV on the market, Toyota is looking to push a few more all-electric RAV4 crossovers out the door over the Labor Day weekend. The Detroit News is reporting that, through September 3, anyone looking to get into a RAV4 EV in Los Angeles or San Francisco, can get a deal: a $299 a month lease (no word on down payment, though) or zero-percent financing for 60 months for buyers.
The $49,800 RAV4 EV normally leases for twice as much - $599 a month - so this move could be an attempt to sell more of the 2,600 units Toyota has planned to produce. Or maybe, if you thought $599 was a fair price, you can now get two RAV4 Evs. Although temporary, the price drop comes at a time when many other EVs on the market have had their prices reduced, including the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Smart Fortwo ED and Honda Fit EV, not to mention already low prices for the Fiat 500e and Chevy Spark EV.

NHTSA may investigate new Toyota unintended acceleration case

Mon, Jul 13 2015

After paying a $1.2-billion settlement to the US government last year, Toyota largely put the unintended acceleration recall behind it. Although, there were still some civil lawsuits to handle. A new case where the owner of a 2009 Lexus ES350 is petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to open another analysis could draw the issue back to the forefront. Investigators are still deciding whether to research these claims further, though. According to this petition, the owner's wife was driving the ES350 in February 2015. While pulling into a parking space, the sedan allegedly surged forward, and there was a low-speed accident. The claim asserts there are at least two other similar cases in NHTSA's database: one in a 2009 Camry in 2009 and another in a 2010 Corolla in 2014. Specifically, this person wants an "investigation into low-speed surging in different models of Toyota automobiles in which the car starts accelerating and the engine RPM increases even when the accelerator pedal is not depressed," according to the agency. NHTSA will do further research into this person's claim and will decide whether to conduct a full investigation into the alleged issue. This won't be the first reappraisal of unintended acceleration in Toyotas by the agency in recent months, though. Between September 2014 and May 2015, NHTSA evaluated a similar petition with allegations covering 2006-2010 Corollas, and the government body decided to deny that one because the problem couldn't be replicated.

The petition was prompted by a February 2015 crash involving a model year (MY) 2009 Lexus ES350, which allegedly surged as the petitioner's wife was pulling into a parking spot.

Toyota officially outsells GM, VW through first three quarters

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

When it comes to global vehicle deliveries, the term "Big Three" doesn't apply to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, but instead Toyota, GM and Volkswagen - in that order - through the third quarter of 2013. Toyota sold 7.41-million vehicles through the third quarter and is on track to deliver more vehicles this year than GM and VW, which sold 7.25-million and 7.03-million, respectively, through the same period, Bloomberg reports.
During the third quarter, from July to September, Toyota's 2.5-million deliveries helped to push it higher than its closest competitors this year. In that period, GM delivered 2.4-million vehicles while VW posted 2.33-million deliveries.
Part of the reason behind Toyota's and other Japanese automakers resurgence globally is the weakened yen, which can be attributed to policies made by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe since he took office in December 2012. Many refer to those monetary easing policies as 'Abenomics,' which has led some, such as Ford, to call Japan a currency manipulator and is a big reason why the US is lobbying to oppose Japan's entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
