2003 Toyota Avalon Xl Sedan 3.0l Burgundy W/2-tone Tan Int. Rear Spoiler/jbl on 2040-cars
|
When an opportunity presented itself, I purchased the car as a surprise
for my newly licensed daughter to drive. After much more thought,
we've determined that she will need a small SUV with a hatchback to
commute to and from college. She loves the sedan, but unfortunately it's
not practical for her needs.
My best friend in CA owned this car, and he took excellent care of it. I've known this vehicle since he purchased it -new, from the dealership. I cancelled my return flight, and drove it to the midwest from CA. It performed perfectly. I was amazed at the 'big car' feel - at 80mph through Nevada and Utah, I thought I was going 55 or 60. When I didn't have cruise control activated... I 'accidentally' got up to 90+ a few times, without realizing that I was traveling that fast. Tires are in good shape (see photo). The trunk interior is immaculate - the spare tire and toolset have never been used. The original Toyota First-Aid Kit is still intact and also unused. There is a small vertical surface scratch down the center of the back bumper where a handle on the garage door slid across the bumper when it was opened. This is a luxury sedan of it's time, and I am saddened that we will not keep it because I believe that it will be a very low-maintenance, good-mileage, solid vehicle... particularly for a young driver. It's an extremely good value. |

2014 Toyota 4Runner priced at $32,820*
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Toyota has announced pricing on its facelifted 2014 4Runner. The rough-and-tumble SUV will be available in three grades: base SR5, upmarket Limited and off-road-ready Trail. Depending on the trim level, buyers will have the choice of rear-drive or one of two different four-wheel drive systems. The sole engine is Toyota's 4.0-liter, 270-horsepower V6.
Entry-level buyers can get an SR5 for $32,820. That includes 17-inch wheels, fabric seats and Toyota's Entune infotainment system. Adding four-wheel drive bumps the price by $2,920, while the Premium Package (SofTex faux leather seats, navigation, sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors and power passenger seat) adds $1,875. All model prices listed do not include $860 for destination and tax.
The Trail starts at $35,725, while the Trail Premium bumps the price to $38,645, adding the same suite of equipment found on the SR5. While it boasts the same standard equipment as the SR5, the Trail is better suited for going off road. A multi-terrain response system comes standard, as does hill-start assist and Toyota's Crawl Control. For an extra sum, buyers can opt for the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which automatically disconnects the sway bars for better articulation and trail holding.

Toyota unveils two new small displacement engines
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Toyota introduced a pair of brand-new engines in Japan today, that it says will eventually spawn 14 different variants by 2015. Where these two engines stand out in today's world, is that neither mill boasts direct injection, and both are naturally aspirated.
The larger of the two is a 1.3-liter, while the smaller engine, a 1.0-liter, was developed in collaboration with Daihatsu. What makes these two unique is that they both use the Atkinson cycle. Now, we aren't going to bore you by explaining just what this is - there's Google for that. Suffice it to say, Atkinson engines are highly efficient, but that efficiency comes by sacrificing power. That's why they're so popular in hybrids, which can offset the power losses.
This focus on fuel efficiency extends throughout the new engines, which also benefit from tweaks like a cooled exhaust gas recirculation system and a trick intake port, while the 1.3 employs Toyota's iE variant of variable valve timing. Both engines can be fitted with stop-start tech. According to Toyota, when fitted with stop-start the 1.3 should provide around a 15-percent bump while the 1.0-liter will increase economy around 30 percent, when they arrive on the road.
