2009 Toyota Prius W/ Lojack, Very Low Miles, Negotiable Price! on 2040-cars
Springfield, Virginia, United States
2009 Prius 5D Hatchback Standard w/ Lojack - $16,000/obo Come get your very own quintessential hybrid. This Prius has very low mileage and is very clean. Very easy and comfortable to drive. The first thing you'll notice is how very QUIET it is to drive with its Hybrid-Synergy drive. The Prius is certified as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) and Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV). 5-star front-crash safety rating with front SRS and side-curtain airbags. The electric motor and gas engine produces a combined 110HP, but at a stop, the electric motor alone produces 295 lb-ft of torque, meaning you actually get good acceleration. The continuously variable transmission allows the car to run at the most efficient RPM while never feeling the transmission shift. I am the original owner of this Prius that has less than 38,000 miles (I was lucky enough to live near work). The backup camera takes some getting used to but lets you parallel park without having to “feel” the other cars. Smart Key entry system is to die for (never take your keys out of your pocket/bag again!!) It also has an included LoJack system to let you know your car has moved before you even find out (including if your car is ever towed). Never been in an accident, though there is one minor dent in the rear quarter panel from an inconsiderate parking garage patron (visible in the photos). The 10 gallon fuel tank means it will never cost a lot to fill the tank. This is a very nice car to own, though it's time for me to transition to being a one-car family. If my family still needed two cars, I would never be getting rid of this car. My driving has yielded an actual 44 MPG over its life, with about 50/50 highway/city driving. If you frequently drive in moderate traffic (averaging 40MPH or so), you can actually get 75MPG on the highway (the only benefit to being stuck in traffic). I have kept this car very clean and cleaned it some more so the lucky new owner can enjoy it in the same condition I got it in. Features include: 2009 Prius - Magnetic Gray Metallic (including package 4) JBL premium sound with multi-disc CD changer including MP3/WMA and aux input, back-up camera, HID headlamps, power and heated side mirrors, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, bluetooth phone integration, Homelink universal garage door remote, power windows, power locks, ABS traction control system, cloth seats, anti-theft system, integrated fog lamps, cruise control, vehicle stability control, 60/40 split folding rear seats, tilt steering with climate and audio controls integrated, direct tire pressure monitoring system. Don't worry about being hassled at a dealership, e-mail Jesse or call: 434-535-2460 to make an offer, ask a question, or to get a copy of the Carfax report. We can talk about shipping, but local pickup would be far easier. |

GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The path to become a racing driver is a difficult one. It requires starting early, with karts, and then building up through the years and if you're really, really good (and really, really lucky), a team will notice you and sign you up. Or, you know, you could just become really good at Gran Turismo, and beat out other like-minded fanatics for a seat in the GT Academy.
The racing school, which culls its students from the ranks of Gran Turismo players has already pumped out successful racers, most notably, Lucas Ordoñez, who has a second and third-place finish under his belt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2014 GT Academy kicking off April 21 and running through June 16, you could have a chance to be the next Ordoñez.
That won't be easy, though. We recently had a playthrough on GT6 the proper way - with a racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, complete with column-mounted paddles. (Our setup looked just like the one you see above, though that image is from E3.) In other words, it was as close to driving an actual car as most console games can get.
Toyota recalls 690,000 Tacoma trucks for rusty leaf springs, fire risk
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Toyota has announced that it will be issuing a recall of 690,000 Tacoma pickups from model years 2005 through 2011. The affected vehicles include both the four-wheel-drive model and the two-wheel-drive PreRunner (but not the standard 4x2 pickups), which may have a rather serious problem with their rear suspensions.
In some cases, corrosion and stress could cause one of the three or four leaves in the rear suspension's leaf springs to fracture. While the trucks can still be driven with a broken leaf, Toyota is concerned that it could move out of position and impact other components in the rear of the truck, with a particular focus on the fuel tank. Needless to say, but a piece of metal continuously impacting anything, let alone the fuel tank, is cause for concern.
As of this writing, there have been no reports of crashes, injuries, fires or deaths due to this problem, although that won't stop Toyota from informing all affected customers of the issue. Those 690,000 owners will need to report in to dealers for inspections and, if necessary, repairs.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
