I have a BEAUTIFUL 1990 TOYOTA COROLLA SR5 COUPE for sale!

 

I'm selling it for my folks, who purchased it new in 1990, once they were "empty nesters".  They took good care of it and put many happy miles on it. 

 

Now that they're in their 80's, the car is much too small and much too low for them to be comfortable in it, so they've given it to me to sell for them.

 

I looked the car up on the NADA website and found it valued in excellent condition (which it is) at $4,600.  I'd like to do a quick and happy sale, so I'm offering it up here for auction.

 

I believe in TOTAL DISCLOSURE, and Karma, so here's the GOOD NEWS and the "BAD" NEWS:

 

 

THE GOOD NEWS:

 

The exterior is in EXCELLENT CONDITION.

(This car is BEAUTIFUL!  We've refreshed the paint.  The body is pretty straight for a 24 year-old car.  There is a ding near the gas filler door and another on the passenger side door.  There are a few tiny nicks in the windshield on the driver's side and we've put some snazzy wheel covers on it because the old 1980's ones fell apart.)

 

The interior is in LIKE-NEW CONDITION.

(Check out the photos!  It's kind of like a time machine.  The upholstery is original as are the carpets, dash, steering wheel...everything!  Mom took good care of the car.  She was pretty much the sole driver of the car, and rarely took passengers with her.  )

 

It RUNS WELL.

(It might need a tune-up soon, but it's running great for a car that's 24 years old.)

 

It STOPS WELL.

(I just had the brakes replaced.)

 

It HANDLES WELL.

(I had the suspension tightened up.  For a 24 year-old car it handles quite well.)

 

It gets GREAT GAS MILEAGE.

(Moms and Pops reported somewhere around 30mpg.)

 

It's been WELL CARED FOR.

(I have all the service receipts for the car since it was purchased new.)

 

It's the PERFECT CITY CAR.

(It's cute, it's small, it gets good gas mileage, it's inexpensive to insure and it's not new, so you can park it on the street and might not mind it getting scratched or dinged too much.)

 

It's a PERFECT 1ST CAR.

(Same reasons it's a perfect City Car.  Most folks are hard on their 1st cars.  It's cute, it's small, it gets good gas mileage, it's inexpensive to insure and it's not new, so you might not mind it getting scratched or dinged too much..)

 

 

THE "BAD" NEWS:

 

You'll eventually have to replace the TIMING BELT.

(The belt was last replaced in 1995, and the car continues to run great.  I got a quote of $600 to replace it.)

 

You'll probably want to replace the AUDIO SYSTEM.

(My Dad was adamant about me leaving the existing stereo in the car.  He and my Mom fought Toyota to pay for it when they bought the car new because the stock stereo system was lousy.  They won, got the stereo and INSIST that I keep it in the car because, "It's a GOOD stereo!"

 

You might want to replace it with something that has an AUX input, USB connectivity and BLUETOOTH.  You can find something like that pre-owned on Craigslist for somewhere between $100 - $200.)

 

You'll probably want to get it TINTED.

(I got a quote for $150 for all the rear windows, $200 for all but the windshield.)

 

(see, the bad news isn't really that bad at all)

 

Did I mention that the car is BEAUTIFUL?

 

So, contact me and we'll set up a VIEWING and a TEST DRIVE!

Andrew Gilleland is new VP of Scion, Murtha moves to Toyota

Fri, Sep 25 2015

Scion is getting some fresh blood at the top as Andrew Gilleland (pictured above) becomes the new vice president to take over for Doug Murtha. Gilleland is no stranger to the division, and served as the national field operations manager early in the brand's launch. Murtha moves to take leadership of corporate strategy and planning for Toyota in North America. "Now it's Andrew's charge to spread the message of the style and value of the iM and iA, as well as a third new vehicle that will be added to the lineup," Toyota division group vice president Bill Fay said in the announcement. Gilleland moves up from being general manager of Toyota's central Atlantic regional office. He takes the reins at Scion at a potential turning point for the division. Sales volume for the year through August is down 22.1 percent to 32,691 vehicles, but some big changes are afoot. The long-lived xB is likely about to bow out, and the brand is launching two new products with the iM and iA. They're getting some celebrity advertising, too. Spy shots also suggest the FR-S might get a refresh soon. Plus, the third model Fay teases is expected to be a compact crossover, possibly with styling inspiration from the Toyota C-HR concept. Scion could get a big boost by having an entry in that booming segment. New Products, Previous Player - Scion Introduces New Vice President Andrew Gilleland Returns to Youth Brand September 24, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif. (Sept. 24, 2015) – In the early days of Scion, when xAs and xBs were flying out of dealers' showrooms, Andrew Gilleland was the National Field Operations Manager for the youth brand. He was responsible for working with dealers to ensure they embraced the new products and processes Scion offered. Now, Scion is entering its teen years, and Gilleland is back as Vice President of Scion, once again encouraging dealers to sell its new models and investigate new methods to attract young buyers. "Scion has sold nearly a million vehicles since I left in 2005 and I'm excited to be back leading this team," said Gilleland. "The iM 5-door hatchback and iA sports sedan arrived at dealerships earlier this month and the response has been great.

Tesla expects another higher-volume deal with Toyota in next few years

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

Four months have passed since Toyota ended its relationship with Tesla Motors, in which the electric-vehicle specialist supplied full lithium-ion battery packs to the Japanese behemoth for its RAV4 EV rollout, of which 2,500 vehicles will be completed. Now, Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk has been heard suggesting that a future collaboration is likely within the next two to three years, and that it will probably be much larger than the last one.
Both Tesla and Toyota have sung each other's praises in the not-too-distant past, Toyota telling Autoblog back in May, "We have a good relationship with Tesla and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects." According to Automotive News, Musk said of the Japanese giant, "We love working with Toyota... We have a huge amount of respect for them as a company and certainly much to learn."
Interestingly, though, the two automakers have rather divergent strategies for eco-friendly automobiles. Toyota, as you're surely aware, is the clear-cut leader in hybrids and has thrown its massive support in the direction of hydrogen fuel cells, while Tesla has invested heavily in battery-electric technology and high-speed charging stations.

2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, Volvos earn IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Tue, Oct 2 2018

It's time for another round-up of recent IIHS crash tested cars. The trio this time include the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, 2019 Volvo XC90 and 2018 Volvo S90. All three have earned one of the highest ratings from the IIHS, the Top Safety Pick. And all three continue a trend of very safe cars having slightly below-par headlights, preventing them from earning the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating. Of these three cars, the Corolla Hatchback has the most impressive scores. It earned the highest "Good" rating in every single crash test, including the difficult small-overlap passenger-side collision. It also received the top score for access to LATCH anchors for child seats. The standard forward collision prevention technology also brought home the best score possible, stopping the car before a crash at speeds up to 25 mph. The headlights themselves weren't particularly bad either, earning the second-highest score of "Acceptable" with both the standard and optional LED headlights. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Both Volvos shared similar scores to the Corolla Hatchback, with "Good" ratings for all crash tests they participated in, and top rank for their standard forward collision technology. Both vehicles were not tested for the passenger-side small overlap collision, so there is no score in that area. Both also received the "Acceptable" rating for LATCH anchor access. In the headlight department, the XC90 earned "Acceptable" scores for both of its available headlights, and the S90 received an "Acceptable" for its optional lights, while the standard ones were rated as "Marginal."
