Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Scratches, rust, cosmetic issues, as might be expected.FRAME RUST ISSUE: around-town driving recommended.Puff of blue smoke on start.Coolant leak.Recent work: new exhaust, all brake work done.Good clutch, strong engine."

Air blows cold, cruise control works, roof rack, runs and drives great. Five speed with a strong clutch, new brakes, new exhaust, and very clean interior.

Here's the deal on this car.

I just bought it for $1,200, then did a front end alignment, then took it in for a safety check.

It turns out, the seller I bought from "forgot" to mention a few small issues regarding this car; I am choosing to sell it at a loss that I can accept, or else learn how to part out a car!

The issues:

puff of blue smoke on cold starts (it lasts about one second).

leaking antifreeze from the radiator or near the radiator, I am not sure exactly.

And the biggest issue: the frame is badly rusted. Some welding has been done under the car to combat this. However, upon the safety check my mechanic told me that he feels the car is unsafe for use as my do-everything vehicle. He said he would feel ok with me driving it locally, but did not want to see my taking it across the country (as he knows I have a tendency to do). The frame is especially bad in the rear and poses a serious safety issue if the car was ever rear-ended.

The car can and has been taken on the expressway (I drove it about 500 miles on expressways in the couple days after purchasing), but for safety reasons this is not recommended.

Therefore I am selling it as a PARTS CAR that can be driven home. If you are uncomfortable driving it at all, I can deliver to you for the cost of gas plus $7 an hour driving time, within about 5 hours or so of Hillsdale, MI. Remember when calculating the costs that two people will have to drive out and a five hour drive would be twenty hours of driving time (2 people making the 5 hour drive twice). Despite the warning on the frame it does run and drive great and I will be driving it until it is sold or too parted out to keep driving.

It has other cosmetic issues (rust, dings, and scratches on the body) as might be expected for a 20 year old car. I do think it looks better in the pics than in real life, so buy accordingly. There are rust holes under the doors that are not really visible in the photos, and the scratch on the driver's side rear door is worse than it looks in the pic, though still cosmetic only.

If you just want a cheap, good car, this is probably not for you.

If you have one of these and you want a perfectly good, running parts car with everything there and working, maybe it's for you. The cruise works, the air blows cold, the factory radio is good, ALL electronics work except the cig. lighter.

The engine runs VERY STRONG.

The clutch is good.

Teach your kids to drive stick in the meantime!

the E brake does not work. Aside from what is mentioned, everything is top notch. It's a shame it can't/shouldn't stay on the road.

Thanks for looking. If it's not bought I will be parting it out. Send me a message to express interest in specific parts in advance, and I can contact you once they are listed.

BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"

VW is world's second-best-selling automaker, GM falls to third

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Every year when we start talking about which automaker is the biggest in the world, there always seems to be at least a little bit of controversy. For 2013, Toyota handily took the top spot with 9.98 million sales, but it's the runner up spot between General Motors and Volkswagen that is starting to create a stir.
Based on our earlier report, GM's 9.71 million vehicles put it in second place ahead of VW's 9.5-million-vehicle effort. Now, The Detroit News is reporting that VW is claiming a tally of 9.73 million sales, including figures from MAN and Scania - heavy-duty truck divisions under the VW AG family. The article points out that Toyota's sales figure includes its Hino line of trucks, but these might still be considered light-duty vehicles while MAN and Scania build tractor trailers.

Toyota Camry Dragster takes the phrase 'sleeper' to its logical extreme [w/video]

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Sometimes, looks can be deceiving. This is certainly one of those times, as Toyota successfully trolled the entirety of the media corps at the 2014 SEMA Show by rolling an innocent-looking Camry onto the floor... only to lift literally the entirety of its body to reveal an 850-horsepower, tube-framed dragster. Well, we have been asking for a more driver-oriented Toyota.
While it's designed to go fast in a straight line, the origin of the Camry Dragster's parts might be surprising. The 5.7-liter V8 engine, transmission, rear axle and electronics were plucked from the Toyota Tundra pickup. Toyota Racing Development donated a supercharger, while a wet-nitrous-injection system was also tacked on for that little extra something. Those goodies will help propel this anonymous looking monster through the quarter mile in just 9.8 seconds.
"This is the most extreme build we've ever unveiled at SEMA," said Toyota's motorsports chief Steve Appelbaum said in a statement. "The transformation from seemingly stock Camry to full-blown racecar just shocks the senses. Chuck Wade and the team at Motorsports Technical Center did a truly spectacular job executing the vision of this project."
