I am looking to sell my 2005 Toyota Rav4 L AWD.

The only reason I am selling is because I want a bigger SUV and more cargo space. This is the finest vehicle I have ever owned. In fact, my wife is quite angry with me for even contemplating parting with a vehicle which has served us so well.

The fortunate new owner of this Rav4 will be getting a very reliable vehicle with excellent gas mileage that is essentially a new SUV under the hood.

I put a lot of money into the vehicle over the past year. It has brand new;

- Radiator, hoses, & water pump.
- Belts
- Air Conditioning system
- Spark Plugs
- Battery/ Starter & Alternator.
- Front Axle, Struts, Shocks, & Stabilizers.
- Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
- Front and Rear Brakes and Rotors all done in Feb. '13
- Differentials, Transmission, & Motor Oil changed last week.
- Tires rotated and Alignment performed last week.

Furthermore,

The Body and Paint is in fantastic shape with only insignificant parking scrapes on the plastic driver's side front and rear bumper, which you can not even see unless looking up close. The Interior has some scratches through daily use and the steering wheel is slightly worn as well.

The Rav4 AWD system performs flawlessly in poor weather and road conditions. I've driven it in whiteout conditions and it has never gotten stuck when buried in the snow by the plows. I have yet to get out the shovel and dig it out.

I have maintained this vehicle very well since I bought it new from Penn Toyota in Greenvale, NY. It currently has 144000 miles but runs like its still new. It will have no trouble putting on another 150000 and more so do not be dissuaded by the mileage.

The Cooper AT tires have about 33,000 miles left on them and they have worn evenly through rotating them at each oil change. The only thing this car will need for a very long time is the oil changed. Everything runs perfectly on this vehicle including all electronics. I have some of the service records as well, and all of the ones within the past year.

Buy with full confidence.

I will accept cash on the condition that the buyer make the transaction with me at the bank. I will not sign over the title nor turn over the keys until successful deposit.

I will accept a check but will not sign over the title or turn over the keys until the check has cleared the bank.

What to do if the infotainment in your Lexus isn't working

Wed, Jun 8 2016

According to Toyota, "errant data from our traffic and weather data service provider" caused the infotainment systems in 2014-2016 Lexus vehicles and the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser to go into some sort of endless reboot loop. The video above shows what that looks like, in case you're interested. Obviously, it's not good – the malfunction means the audio systems, navigation and climate control systems aren't working properly, and that the hands-free mobile phone function won't work. Apparently, some owners were able to manually fix their cars by disconnecting the battery cables for 10 minutes, which forces the car's computer systems to restart. But Toyota isn't officially suggesting that people take that action. Instead, "Toyota and Lexus owners experiencing these issues should visit their dealer for a complimentary system reset and a confirmation of the system," the automaker said in a statement. It's worth noting that issues with the usability of modern infotainment systems have caused customer satisfaction scores to drop. Lexus, though, has been mostly immune to such complaints, having come in first place in J.D. Power's most recent Vehicle Dependability study. Not that you should automatically trust those findings, anyway... Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Toyota to recall 185k cars globally, including Yaris

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

Toyota has announced it is recalling a total of 185,000 vehicles worldwide for a power steering issue. Yaris and (overseas) Vitz models built between November 2010 and March 2012 could suffer a short circuit in their power steering control module if water gets inside. Should that happen, the power steering could fail, increasing effort when turning. The recall also includes the Verso-S and Ractis built from August 2010 to August 2011. The recall covers 130,000 vehicles in Japan and around 22,450 in Europe.
Only 74 units are being recalled in the United States.
Toyota says if the fault occurs, the vehicle will display the Electronic Power Steering warning light on the dash and a buzzer will sound. The automaker will alert owners by mail and dealers will replace the power steering control module free of charge. You can read the quick press release on the recall below for more information.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
