This is an excellent little car with a lot of life left in it.  Please look closely at the pictures and ask all questions prior to bidding.  This is a 1990 Toyota Corolla with just over 92k original miles on it.  No accidents, no issues with driving it down the road or just about anywhere.  Engine is strong, clutch is strong, tires have decent life left as well.  I bought the car a few years back with 77k miles on it and got my use out of it.  Unfortunately the family members that I would give it to have a problem with a stick shift so it goes on the auction block.  

The Good: Low relative miles, strong engine, you can drive it away and drive it anywhere, as far as I can tell I would drive the car without any concerns anywhere in the country and I actually still drive it periodically now.  If it does not sell I will keep dumping miles on it as I am confident it will go at least another 100k miles.  Of course being that it is a used 24 year old car I can not guarantee anything, but I feel the car will last and you will be able to hear that when you listen to it running. 

The bad: All cosmetic; missing headliner, various trim pieces inside the car are either missing or in fair shape.  The items that are missing you can see in the pictures and some like trim pieces I have, they are just not attached.  Also when I put in the radio I apparently shorted out the running lights so I had to connect a separate switch to turn on and off the running lights.  It is missing one hubcap.  That is about all unless you can see it in the pictures. 

Please please please look at this pictures closely and ask questions if you have any before bidding.  This is an ad to purchase the vehicle, you are not winning the right to look at it and decide later (I had someone do that to me once saying he didn't like the color and was choosing not to buy a car after outbidding numerous other people). This car is excellent transportation at a very low price.  I am not asking a lot of money for the car because I am hoping it will go to someone that really needs a reliable car and does not care that the headliner is missing or that the interior is a bit worn.  If you want a car that will last and make it back and forth to work with good reliability this is your car.

Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."

Redesigned 2014 Toyota Tundra spied testing in Canada

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

When Toyota first announced that it would be bringing the 2014 Tundra pickup to next month's Chicago Auto Show, we weren't quite sure if the truck would fall into the "all-new" or "refreshed" category. After seeing this latest set of spy shots, we're striking "all-new" from the record, but the enhancements do appear to be more than just a simple nip/tuck.
While the overall shape and greenhouse haven't really changed, heavy cladding found on the front fascia suggests that a totally redesigned nose is in store, with a fully reworked grille flanked by new headlamps. Smaller styling details are hidden by the big panels of camouflage, but we anticipate a few minor tweaks to the rest of the pickup's design when all that black tape finally comes off.
Mum's the word on powertrain enhancements (if any), as well as any changes that have been made to the chassis. But with the updated 2013 Ram 1500 already on the street, the recent unveiling of the updated 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, and a preview of what's to come from the likes of Ford, we certainly hope Toyota has injected enough new blood into its 2014 model year pickup to keep it competitive in this American-dominated segment. We'll know for sure come Chicago.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
