The car developed a small rod knock, so I parked it and then I tore it down (slightly) to fix it, and I have not had time to repair it. So as-is in no-op project car status only. For probably less than a few hundred bucks and a few hours of your time, you can own a $5k car easy and turn around, sell it and make a profit. If I were to fix these same issues, I would be selling it for no less than 5K given its excellent rating. 


Head gasket fine, I just had that repaired a bit ago and the tick might have been my imagination or over-acting thoughts of woe...   
only things off engine are radiator & related hoses; air intake; a few mounts and the oil pan is on to keep engine clean but nothing is broken down to repair state and engine IS intact!

Has clear title. I have possession of the "pink slip" and legal ownership. It has been non-op'd through CA DMV w/ NO back fees due at all.
Has a mostly brand new paint job, with minor defects/scratches. It is missing a strip of door trim on driver side too for some reason.
Has a broken rear quarter window but a replacement window is included in the sale.
Excellent interior. no cracks in dashboard but, it is a bit dirty & dusty from sitting in the shade. (vehicle has been stored in a shaded carport with sun & element protection)

IIHS: Drivers safer than passengers in frontal crash test

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety introduced a small overlap frontal crash test in 2012 that replicates what happens when the front corner of a car impacts another object. In the test, vehicles travel at a speed of 40 mph toward a five-foot-tall barrier with 25 percent of the total width of the car striking the barrier on the driver side. One would assume that vehicles with good small overlap front ratings would protect the driver and the passenger equally. But a recent study from the IIHS proves that passengers aren't as protected as drivers. The IIHS conducted the test on seven small SUVs with good driver-side small overlap ratings and only one of the vehicles, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson, performed well enough to be given a good rating. The other SUVs performance ranged from poor to acceptable. After reviewing the results of the test, the IIHS is deliberating whether it should institute a passenger-side rating as part of its Top Safety Pick criteria. "This is an important aspect of occupant protection that needs more attention," states Becky Mueller, lead author of the study and an IIHS senior research engineer. "More than 1,600 right-front passengers died in frontal crashes in 2014." Since the small overlap front test was introduced, 13 automakers have made structural changes to 97 vehicles with roughly three-quarters earning a good rating after the adjustments. The IIHS' test for frontal ratings is completed with a dummy in the driver's seat and with a barrier overlapping the driver's side. Which makes sense, as passengers aren't always riding in a vehicle. "It's not surprising that automakers would focus their initial efforts to improve small overlap protection on the side of the vehicle that we conduct the tests on," states David Zuby, IIHS executive vice president and chief research officer. "In fact, we encouraged them to do that in the short term if it mean they could quickly make driver-side improvements to more vehicles. As time goes by, though, we would hope they ensure similar levels of protection on both sides." As the IIHS' test revealed, there's a massive difference in safety between the two front seats. Increase passenger safety, according to Mueller, would require automakers to strengthen the occupant compartment by using a different type of material or by making it thicker.

Watch Congress sample Toyota's i-Road 3-wheeler concept

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Toyota brought its new i-Road, a three-wheeled, all-electric low-speed vehicle that debuted in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show, to the Capitol for some of our elected officials to test out. As easy as it is to forget that politicians are people, too, it was refreshing to see a human side to many of them as they zipped about one of the Capitol's many meeting rooms.
We'd say their reactions were surprisingly positive. Of course, some were just down there because Toyota is a big presence in their respective districts, but the bulk of the senators and representatives seemed like they just wanted to zip about the makeshift indoor course on the leaning trike.
Take a look below at the video from Bloomberg.
