I have a BEAUTIFUL 1990 TOYOTA COROLLA SR5 COUPE for sale!

 

I'm selling it for my folks, who purchased it new in 1990, once they were "empty nesters".  They took good care of it and put many happy miles on it. 

 

Now that they're in their 80's, the car is much too small and much too low for them to be comfortable in it, so they've given it to me to sell for them.

 

I looked the car up on the NADA website and found it valued in excellent condition (which it is) at $4,600.  I'd like to do a quick and happy sale, so I'm offering it up here for auction.

 

I believe in TOTAL DISCLOSURE, and Karma, so here's the GOOD NEWS and the "BAD" NEWS:

 

 

THE GOOD NEWS:

 

The exterior is in EXCELLENT CONDITION.

(This car is BEAUTIFUL!  We've refreshed the paint.  The body is pretty straight for a 24 year-old car.  There is a ding near the gas filler door and another on the passenger side door.  There are a few tiny nicks in the windshield on the driver's side and we've put some snazzy wheel covers on it because the old 1980's ones fell apart.)

 

The interior is in LIKE-NEW CONDITION.

(Check out the photos!  It's kind of like a time machine.  The upholstery is original as are the carpets, dash, steering wheel...everything!  Mom took good care of the car.  She was pretty much the sole driver of the car, and rarely took passengers with her.  )

 

It RUNS WELL.

(It might need a tune-up soon, but it's running great for a car that's 24 years old.)

 

It STOPS WELL.

(I just had the brakes replaced.)

 

It HANDLES WELL.

(I had the suspension tightened up.  For a 24 year-old car it handles quite well.)

 

It gets GREAT GAS MILEAGE.

(Moms and Pops reported somewhere around 30mpg.)

 

It's been WELL CARED FOR.

(I have all the service receipts for the car since it was purchased new.)

 

It's the PERFECT CITY CAR.

(It's cute, it's small, it gets good gas mileage, it's inexpensive to insure and it's not new, so you can park it on the street and might not mind it getting scratched or dinged too much.)

 

It's a PERFECT 1ST CAR.

(Same reasons it's a perfect City Car.  Most folks are hard on their 1st cars.  It's cute, it's small, it gets good gas mileage, it's inexpensive to insure and it's not new, so you might not mind it getting scratched or dinged too much..)

 

 

THE "BAD" NEWS:

 

You'll eventually have to replace the TIMING BELT.

(The belt was last replaced in 1995, and the car continues to run great.  I got a quote of $600 to replace it.)

 

You'll probably want to replace the AUDIO SYSTEM.

(My Dad was adamant about me leaving the existing stereo in the car.  He and my Mom fought Toyota to pay for it when they bought the car new because the stock stereo system was lousy.  They won, got the stereo and INSIST that I keep it in the car because, "It's a GOOD stereo!"

 

You might want to replace it with something that has an AUX input, USB connectivity and BLUETOOTH.  You can find something like that pre-owned on Craigslist for somewhere between $100 - $200.)

 

You'll probably want to get it TINTED.

(I got a quote for $150 for all the rear windows, $200 for all but the windshield.)

 

(see, the bad news isn't really that bad at all)

 

Did I mention that the car is BEAUTIFUL?

 

So, contact me and we'll set up a VIEWING and a TEST DRIVE!

Scion testing updated FR-S

Thu, Sep 17 2015

It looks like Toyota is preparing a mid-cycle update for its critically acclaimed GT86, known here in the US as the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. As far as updates go, this one looks to be rather average. Hidden behind the camouflaged front and rear ends, we have new headlights and taillights, which according to our spies looked to be of the LED variety. We wouldn't be shocked to see the GT86 get LED taillights, although fitting the top-of-the-line headlights seems less likely. Supporting that position are the images we have of the actual headlights in action, which don't look quite bright enough to be full LED units. Instead, we'd expect some new form of running light, perhaps with bi-xenon low beams. Aside from the lamps, the front bumper gets a larger, more prominent lower intake, while the rear end sports a redefined bumper that houses larger dual exhaust tips. The size of the spoiler has been increased, too. According to our spies, we should also expect powertrain enhancements – which we can only hope means more power – as well as upgrades to the interior of the GT86. While it's possible that the updates being tested in Germany could be exclusive to the European market, that seems unlikely. We'd expect the same new enhancements to at least find their way to the Scion, if not its Subaru-badged twin. Check out the full battery of spy photos up top. Related Video:

Jeremy Clarkson names 10 worst cars for 2015 and 2016

Wed, Aug 24 2016

When Jeremy Clarkson, outspoken automotive journalist, ex- Top Gear host, and co-host on The Grand Tour, drives a car he doesn't like he doesn't pull his punches. As Jezza harshly puts it, cars shouldn't just be a form of transportation. These 10 cars made Clarkson's "the terrible 10" list on his column in The Sunday Times for lacking imagination and not giving the journalist "the Fizz," which his list of top 10 cars did. In typical Clarkson fashion, the list is controversial. Some of the cars on Clarkson's list have received praise from other outlets, which shouldn't really come as a surprise since he usually goes against the majority's opinion. Nonetheless, there's at least one car that will catch you off guard. To get a glimpse at Clarkson's reviews and the entire list of cars, head over to his column in The Sunday Times.
