Amazing car, superbly maintained for last 7 yrs by me, the 3rd owner. Was a southern car for almost 3 yrs, no rust, no leaks, newer brakes, newer tires (2 new 12/2013), recent timing belt & water pump replacement, two new o2 sensors. Drives like a car less than half its age and miles. V6, Auto, Leather seats (no rips), power seats, power windows, HEATED seats, power tilt & sliding Moon Roof, AC cold, everything works (except 2 small dash bulbs! Clean, clean car and smoke-free. And great mpg... 22 around town, 29 on highway. Regular gas. The only negatives are obvious: car looks great from 5' but there are some tiny rock chips on the hood,paint looks its age, one small dent (dimple) above tail light to right of trunk lid (I did it with my hand accidentally), leather seats show wear, alloy wheels show road rash from the Michigan winters but these are all minor considering the overall condition. Perfect winter car, or for student. AutoCheck available. This Avalon has the rare bench seat in front. This was the last year this was available in the Avalon. These were virtually impossible to find, because it is a true 6 passenger sedan (seat belts for all passengers). The Avalon is powered by a 3.0L V6 engine which produces 200 hp and 214 lb-ft of torque. Despite the size of the Avalon, it is rated at an impressive 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. $100 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours, balance due within 3 days by certified check. Car in as-is condition, no warranties or guarantees given... as always, all sales are final.

Impala crashes into Land Cruiser... to hide from a cheetah

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

What would you do if a wild animal jumped into your vehicle through an open window during an African safari? What if said animal was an impala being chased by cheetahs? Though the scenario seems unbelievable, that's just what happened to a group of tourists in Kruger National Park in South Africa, and it was all caught on video.
With the tour groups stopped, a motorist with a video camera handy happens to catch the unlikely sight of a herd of impalas (not that kind of Impala) jumping over the tarmac while being followed, quickly of course, by two cheetahs. The feline predators thought they had cornered one impala and were closing in for the kill when it jumped through the open window of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - South Africa's version of the Lexus GX. Fortunately for the occupants of said vehicle, the cheetahs did not follow.
A short while later, one of the occupants in the Toyota fearlessly opens a door to let the poor animal out. It must have been its lucky day, because the cheetahs didn't take pursuit. Check out the circle life get interrupted by this traffic jam in the video below.

Union to launch Toyota organization drive in Canada

Sun, 12 Jan 2014

Toyota may be heading toward some labor issues in the Great White North, as employees at a pair of Canadian Toyota factories may be set for a certification vote. The Unifor union, which was the result of a merger last year between the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union, will be holding the vote.
Over 40 percent of the employees at the Woodstock and Cambridge, Ontario factories have signed union cards, cresting the minimum percentage required to instigate a legal certification vote, according to Reuters. The Woodstock factory is responsible for RAV4 production, while Cambridge builds the Lexus RX350 and RX450h, as well as the Toyota Corolla. The two factories employ nearly 7,000 people.
It's unclear when the union will hold a certification vote at the two factories, but what is rather clear are the worker complaints. Employees are concerned about workers being hired on temporary contracts which lack the benefits of full employment, John Aman, head of organizing for Unifor, told Reuters.

Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand

Tue, 21 May 2013

An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
