Santa Monica, California, United States

I am the original owner of this beautiful and clean black on black 2009 Matrix S. I purchased the car from the Toyota dealership and have put 60,000 gentle local commuter miles on the car (well below average). The car has a clean current title and is currently registered in California.

The exterior of the car is in excellent driver condition with a few unnoticeable beauty marks accumulated throughout the last 5 years from daily driving and city parking (see pictures). The interior of the car is spotless and in absolute mint condition. The seats, carpets, headliner are all perfect. And of course, it's never been smoked in and has never been used to transport pets. Truly, I have babied this car and it shows.

The car drives wonderfully, has newer tires (2014), and all service is up to date, including the 60,000 mile service (with receipts). It's a really zippy car, faster than a Fiat 500, handles as well as a Mini Cooper S, and being Japanese, it is as reliable as a Honda Fit or Civic. The car gets great gas mileage, like a Toyota Corolla, and has a lot of cargo space inside, more than Volkswagen Golf!

The car has the following options included in the Sports Package:

- Aerodynamic front, side and real spoilers
- Alloy wheels and high performance all season tires, sport tuned suspension
- Automatic transmission, tilt wheel, telescopic wheel
- Power steering, locks, brakes, windows, mirrors
- Keyless entry, anti-theft system
- Air conditioning, rear defogger, rear window wiper, daytime running lights
- Passenger + driver airbags, front side impact airbags, head/curtain airbags, 4 wheel antilock disc brakes
- Cloth bucket seats 
- 5- disc CD changer, AM/FM, auxiliary audio input, 120v power outlet, Bluetooth enabled

I'm moving to the east coast and no longer have a use for this car, which is why I'm selling it. 

This is a local auction only and the car will not be shipped.  As it is also for sale locally, I have the right to end this auction at any time.

I'm available during the day to show the car in Santa Monica, feel free to reach out.

The private party sale Blue Book value of the car is $11,534. The local dealers are asking more than $12,000 for the same car.  I've set a very realistic reserve way below these prices.

Toyota hits 10 million Camry models sold in US

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

This year marks 30 years of sales for the Toyota Camry in the US, and in that time, it has amassed more than 10 million sales. In its first year on the market, the Camry sold 52,651 units, but it has gone on to become the best-selling car in the US for the last 11 years.
Toyota says that "virtually all" current Camry models sold in the US are made here, and three-quarters of all Camry contents are domestically sourced. Scroll down for the official press release from Toyota, and be sure to check out our gallery of images showing every model year and bodystyle of the Camry since it first went on sale in 1983.

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."

Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.
