2001 Toyota Corolla S

4-Door Sedan, 137,895 miles

This car still starts and drives fine. There's a lot of life left in the Toyota engine, it's fuel efficient, and the heat and AC both work great.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll list every issue the car has below, starting with the most serious and working to simple blemishes and nuisances. Don't hesitate to ask questions or request additional photos.

1) Our mechanic strongly suggests that we replace the engine mounts and tires. If we were keeping the car, we'd probably follow his advice.

2) He also suggests replacing the catalytic converter and fixing a tear to one of the CV boots. If we were keeping the car, we would not worry about these yet.

3) There's a modest oil leak.

4) The driver-side rearview mirror is cracked.

5) The passenger-side seatbelt is sticky and difficult to latch. It should probably be fixed.

6) Cosmetically, the car has a number of dents and dings (see the photos). One on the rear passenger-side door causes the front passenger-side door to stick, so sometimes the rear door must be opened before the front.

7) This was originally a Florida car, so the hood is pretty sunburnt.

8) The plastic panels between the windshield and the side windows have pulled off (purely cosmetic).

9) The car has a CD player, but the volume controls don't work very well.

Again - none of these ailments prevent the car from starting or running.

Contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for bidding!

Australia may offer money to keep Toyota making cars there

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

In the wake of last month's announcement that Ford will cease automotive and engine production in Australia after 2016, many are wondering what the country's other automakers will do. Holden has already confirmed it will stay the course despite Ford's exit.
Much of the GM subsidiary's reason for sticking around has to do with a deal made last year between Holden and the Australian government. In order to secure a GM investment of $1 billion and a commitment to keep manufacturing in Australia through 2022, the government threw in an extra $215 million. According to Australia's Minister for Innovation and Industry, Greg Combet, the government is now in talks with Toyota for a similar deal.
Toyota operates one plant in Australia, the Altona manufacturing and engine plant in Victoria. The facility produces the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Australasia-only Aurion for both the local market and export. The report from GoAuto indicates that negotiations with the Australian government would include adding production of a third, all-new model at Altona, possibly the new RAV4, because it shares many parts with the Camry.

eBay Find of the Day: Back To The Future Marty McFly 1985 Toyota SR5 pickup tribute

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

With DeLorean time machine replicas thick on the ground, it was only a matter of time before someone started recreating the other vehicles in the McFly garage. At the end of the first Back to the Future movie, Marty returns to 1985 to find his sweet-looking Toyota SR5 truck all waxed and ready for his date. That truck always did look great in the movie, and now's your chance to own this close facsimile.
This Back to the Future replica Toyota is on eBay with a price of $14,500, which the seller claims is half of what's been invested. Perhaps that's true, but it's still a nearly 30-year-old truck that's covered 280,000 miles. The seller does say the 22RE engine has been recently rebuilt, along with the rest of the drivetrain, and there's new paint, too. The attention to detail is admirable, and if you've always admired Marty's '80s-chic 4x4, now's your chance to own it.

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.
