2003 Toyota Matrix XRS. 6 speed manual transmission. The first owner was my father, I am the second owner, you are the third. Sweet sliding and tilting sun roof works perfectly and does not leak. The cool cargo nets and cargo straps that only came with this model (I think) are present and will be included for an extra $5,000. -I'm joking, of course. They are included...for free...really. The tires are somewhat new (maybe a year?). I got a new clutch in July. Since the clutch, I've MAYBE put 700 miles on it. Both front brake rotors are new (also in July). I've always had generic plastic floor mats covering the stock Matrix floor mats, so those puppies are in rather decent shape for being 10 years old. The car is presently dirty. It's getting to be cold here, and I have not taken it to a car wash, yet. Don't let the little bit of dirt in the pictures scare you off.
It can be quick when you need it to be so. When you find a transmission to throw in this baby, you're gonna have a fun and solid car for another 155,000 miles. This engine is strong. I LOVE this car. I planned on driving it till my kid becomes old enough to drive, but I had to get a pick-up truck for work. So this must go. The gas mileage is anywhere from 30 to 35 miles a gallon. Man am I gonna miss THAT. This car is NOT all wheel drive, in case that's what you're looking for. There is a small ding on the passenger side front quarter panel from a misplayed baseball. I don't think this car has ever been in an accident. There is what looks like a cigarette burn hole in the front passenger seat, but my father swore it was NOT from a cigarette...in fact he could not tell me what it was from when I bought it from him, but in the 9 years since that hole magically appeared, it has not grown. The plastic on the inside of the back hatch is cracked - I think there's even a small hole in it, actually. A fog lamp is out. The headlights need to be "cleared", if you know what I mean. -They have that haze, is all. The exhaust leak is annoying. The parking brake that does not work is also annoying. That panel on the inside driver's side door that contains all the power window and power lock controls is loose...that's kind of annoying, too. One or two lines in the rear window defroster are dead. Sometimes a few of the lights on the radio face go dim. The front ground-effect-spoiler-thing snapped off when I hit some debris on the freeway a few years ago. The car certainly lost some of it's good looks when that happened, but I could never justify getting it replaced as I am not made of money. All the cool amenities like the multiple power outlets, the little compartments to hide crap, the fold away drink holders, etc...are all intact. I'm telling you...this car is awesome. All the little annoying things are to be expected from a 10 year old car; and I don't believe they take the value down much. The lame transmission, however, is a different story. I THINK a new used tranny, installed, will run you between $1200 and $1800. My goal is not to screw you, here. I've listed about everything wrong that I can think of. I truly believe this car has only lived half its life. A new transmission and you're golden for another 10 years. Hit me with questions or if you want other pictures, I can certainly email them to you. |

Toyota reveals new customizable Camatte57s kid-friendly concepts
Tue, 11 Jun 2013Toyota plans to follow up last year's kid-friendly Camatte concept with two new versions: the Camatte57s and Camatte57s Sport (right). Like the original Camatte, the two new concepts will make their debut at the International Tokyo Toy Show, which is happening this weekend.
Not much has changed with these two new Camatte models. Like their predecessor, they both feature detachable body panels (the count is up to 57), a 1+2 seating array and reconfigurable pedals that allow children to operate the gas and brakes while Mom or Dad steers. What is new is an open-top roadster design that even eschews doors in favor of easier ingress/egress. They look like something a tourist would rent to get around a Hawaiian island, though we dig the distinct personalities of each model's design.
Both cars are all-electric, though Toyota hasn't provided any other specifications, like what makes the Sport model sporty besides its more aggressive body panels and silver, black and red color scheme. That's just as well, as neither concept, like the original Camatte before them, is street legal.
VW is world's second-best-selling automaker, GM falls to third
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Every 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.
Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations
Mon, 16 Dec 2013So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.
