Find or Sell Used Cars, Trucks, and SUVs in USA

'10 Toyota Corolla Le Sedan 1.8l. 25k Mi Certified To 100k By Toyota on 2040-cars

Year:2010 Mileage:25700
Location:

Akron, Ohio, United States

Akron, Ohio, United States

I've been listing cars for the past 12 years for friends, family and clients who accept my approach.   I have 40 yrs experience as a mechanical engineer in the automobile after market.  I describe vehicles carefully and accurately, reveal any defects, provide buyers with all available service records and  photos including the underside of the vehicle--something 99% of eBay sellers would rather you not know about apparently.  That's where a lot of the money gets spent on a used car.  Since I sell world-wide we have sent vehicles to Europe, Mexico, the Middle East and all over the US, I can't afford any surprises.

Pricing

Auction is NO-RESERVE meaning the car will sell to the last bidder.  this could be the first bidder if there is only one bid of course.  once there is an opening bid, the car will sell thru eBay.  In the mean time if I get an acceptable offer locally and there has not been a bid yet this auction will get the automotive equivalent of what Arlo Guthrie called 'the disappearing railroad blues'.  Dealers would clean up the defects I mentioned and put this car out there for at least $13,500, so do your own math and if you'd rather end the suspense, send me your idea.  However, once there is a bid, i have to let the auction run it's course.  


The Scoop

I'm listing this very clean Corolla for a friend.  It was driven by her non-smoking niece to get back and forth to college.  It's done about half the miles of the typical 2010 and has the balance of the Toyota Certified PO warrantee (to 2017 or 100k miles).  This is transferable to subsequent owners until it expires. I have a card from Toyota to send in with the new owners information.  

The car has been serviced at Ganley Toyota in Akron needing only oil chnages, fluid interval checks with  no mechanical issues to date.

Body and Chassis

-several scrapes in bumper paint but plastic is not cracked or mangled (see pics)

-underside shows rust-free panels, brake lines, cables, only corrosion is on unplated surfaces, exhaust, etc

-solid, leak-free exhaust

Scammers?  

Hope there's no hard feelings after I sent that 250,000 piece scam-bomb to your mail server after the last time you tried a scam on me?  Don’t even think about it!  I do not do bundled shipping.  I don’t care if you are in the merchant marine or your late dad was the president of Sri Lanka--if you don’t have a PayPal account we aren’t doing business, period.  And furthermore, please practice your English on more gullible sellers.  The boiler rooms you guys call from are so noisy these days I can hear your buddies in the background asking the same stupid scammer questions:  “So why are you selling your... ‘item’…”  There's always the chance that you are actually interested in aluminum siding or the free ginzu knives you got all those offers for.   All it cost me was a bottle of 15 yr old scotch to my friend with a pHd in computer security.  Want some more of that action?  Then scam on brothers.


Bidders' Qualifications:

Feedback less than 10?   You must me an e-mail with your phone number so we can discuss my terms and conditions.   I welcome legitimate international bidders and have sent vehicles to Europe and the middle east but please contact me before bidding to discuss your shipping plans.

Audi, Toyota land on MIT's list of 50 Most Disruptive Companies

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

MIT Technology Review, a magazine all about innovation, has announced its list of the 50 most disruptive companies in 2013, and both Audi and Toyota made the cut. While the term "most disruptive" may carry a negative connotation in most uses (especially in the classroom), the acknowledgement in this case is an accolade, signifying that the company is at the forefront of its industry. In a nutshell, a disruptive company is a business whose innovations force other businesses to alter their strategic direction.
Audi made the list for "pushing autonomous cars closer to fruition with a laser-scanning road detector that fits in a vehicle's front grille," and Toyota for "expanding its dominance of the hybrid-car market with its new plug-in version of the Prius." Click on the image above to be taken to the original graphic at MIT Technology Review, where clickable colored squares reveal information about each of the 50 winners, compiled from a variety of industries.

2014 Toyota 4Runner

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania. While the mechanical bits and pieces beneath the body-on-frame SUV trudge forward into the new model year with very few tweaks, the truck "receives a rugged new exterior design and interior refinements that add comfort and convenience without sacrificing its hallmark performance capability and excellent value," says the automaker.
A quick visual scan of the 4Runner reveals a new front end with a more "aggressive" and "muscular" appearance (yes, I'm quoting Toyota) that includes new headlights, grille and hood scoop. A roof rack is now standard across all trims, too. While SR5 and Trail grades have a bland color-keyed grille insert that gives the face a monochromatic appearance, the range-topping Limited (shown above and in our gallery) snarls with a silver-plated chin that gives it a bit more character.
New soft-touch surfaces within the cabin provide a more upscale environment and a bright new Optitron instrument panel improves readability and functionality. As before, the SR5 and Trail models arrive with fabric upholstery or optional Softex seats (synthetic leather). Genuine hides are reserved for the Limited trim, which is also fitted with Toyota's unique X-REAS (X-Relative Absorber System) automatic suspension system as standard equipment.

Toyota buys Daihatsu for small-car development

Sun, Jan 31 2016

Toyota is getting serious about small cars, but it's not going at it alone. Instead it's turning to its subsidiary Daihatsu, with which it will now share more resources and expertise. And in the process, it's acquiring the remaining stake in the smaller automaker. Daihatsu is a Japanese carmaker founded in its present form in 1951, but with roots that trace back as far as 1907. Toyota acquired a controlling interest of 51 percent in Daihatsu in 1988, bringing the company under its umbrella. But now it is raising its stake to 100 percent by a reciprocal share-swap agreement that will see Daihatsu's other shareholders take 0.27 shares in the larger company for each share in the smaller. As part of the new arrangement, the Daihatsu division will take the lead in developing new small cars, both for itself and for its parent company. Toyota in turn will also share key technologies with Daihatsu, and both will share each other's networks in emerging markets. The bottom line is that we can expect to see more small Toyotas and Scions developed and built by Daihatsu in the near future. The Daihatsu name may not be as familiar to Americans as some of Toyota's other brands. It briefly sold models like the Charade and Rocky in the United States under its own name in the late 1980s and early 90s. However US customers may be more familiar with those it built for the Scion brand, such as the Scion xB that was based on the Daihatsu Materia. While the realistic part of our brains force us to admit it's unlikely, the dreamer within us will hold out hope that the new arrangement could see a Scion version of the nimble little Daihatsu Kopen roadster make its way to our shores in the coming years. Toyota and Daihatsu to Strengthen Small Car Operations through Unified Global Strategy Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and its subsidiary Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (Daihatsu) have reached an agreement whereby Daihatsu will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota by way of a share exchange (expected to be completed in August 2016). The purpose of the agreement is to develop of ever-better cars by adopting a unified strategy for the small car segment, under which both companies will be free to focus on their core competencies. Ultimately, this will help Daihatsu and Toyota to attain their joint goal of achieving sustainable growth. Additionally, the aim of the share exchange is to enhance the value of both brands.
