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.

Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.

Toyota mulling more Tundra, Tacoma capacity in TX

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Toyota may be expanding its pickup truck production at its San Antonio, TX factory following calls from dealers for more Tacoma and Tundra models, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The San Antonio plant is currently able to produce 250,000 trucks on two shifts with overtime, while a secondary facility in Tijuana, Mexico can build an extra 50,000 Tacomas. Despite this capacity, and the fact that Tundra is a slow seller relative to the full-size trucks from Ford, Ram and Chevrolet/GMC (not to mention the Tacoma being part of a segment with diminishing sales), Toyota franchisees apparently can't get enough of the trucks.
"Dealers are telling us they could sell more Tacomas and Tundras," said Bill Fay, the general manager of the Toyota Division. "We are evaluating our footprint and capacity." According to AN, Toyota has moved over 248,000 trucks through November.

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.
