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.

Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.

Ford fights back against patent trolls

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Some people are just awful. Some organizations are just as awful. And when those people join those organizations, we get stories like this one, where Ford has spent the past several years combatting so-called patent trolls. According to Automotive News, these malicious organizations have filed over a dozen lawsuits against the company since 2012. They work by purchasing patents, only to later accuse companies of misusing intellectual property, despite the fact that the so-called patent assertion companies never actually, you know, do anything with said intellectual property. AN reports that both Hyundai and Toyota have been victimized by these companies, with the former forced to pay $11.5 million to a company called Clear With Computers. Toyota, meanwhile, settled with Paice LLC, over its hybrid tech. The world's largest automaker agreed to pay $5 million, on top of $98 for every hybrid it sold (if the terms of the deal included each of the roughly 1.5 million hybrids Toyota sold since 2000, the company would have owed $147 million). Including the previous couple of examples, AN reports 107 suits were filed against automakers last year alone. But Ford is taking action to prevent further troubles... kind of. The company has signed on with a firm called RPX, in what sounds strangely like a protection racket. Automakers like Ford pay RPX around $1.5 million each year for access to its catalog of patents, which it spent nearly $1 billion building. "We take the protection and licensing of patented innovations very seriously," Ford told AN via email. "And as many smart businesses are doing, we are taking proactive steps to protect against those seeking patent infringement litigation." What are your thoughts on this? Should this patent business be better managed? Is it reasonable that companies purchase patents only to file suit against the companies that build actual products? Have your say in Comments.

2016 Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell Vehicle likely to get 60 MPGe

Tue, Nov 18 2014

Toyota isn't talking about the Mirai's fuel economy just yet, but that doesn't mean we can't make an educated guess. And we do so by looking at the competition and knowing that the DOE says that "One kg of hydrogen is roughly equivalent to one gallon of gasoline." For now, the Mirai's H2 competition means the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell. It can carry 5.64 kg of hydrogen and has a range of 265 miles. If we do the division there (265/5.64) we get 47 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe). The DOE says that the miles/kg values are 49 combined, 48 in the city and 50 on the highway while Hyundai lists the official MPGe estimates as 50 combined, 49 city and 51 highway. The simple math gets us pretty close to these official numbers. Or take the 2014 Honda FCX Clarity. With a range of 231 miles and a max of 3.92 kg of hydrogen on board, division gets us to 59 MPGe. Officially, it's rated at 59 miles per kg (combined), with 58 in the city and 60 on the highway. In other words, simple math is a reliable way to calculate rough MPGe. So, we know that the Mirai can hold five kilograms of hydrogen on board and that the car has a 300-mile range. We don't even need a calculator to figure out that the Mirai is looking at 60 MPGe. Interestingly, that might be what the next-gen Prius will get.
