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!

Toyota is world's top-selling automaker for second year in a row

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

Toyota is the top-selling automaker in the world. Again. Still. With total reported sales, including those from subsidiaries, of 9.98 million in 2013, Toyota's performance was enough to outpace rival General Motors by around 270,000 vehicles. That's a 2.4-percent gain over 2012, and it makes Toyota the top-seller two years in a row. Still, the gap between the top three is shrinking - Toyota held a 460,000-unit lead in 2012.
GM sold 9.71 million vehicles last year, a four-percent increase, coming in second place ahead of Volkswagen, which sold around 9.5 million. According to Bloomberg, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda said his company managed to win the sales race while also remaining more profitable than GM or VW.
It's going to be another interesting year in 2014 as the three behemoth automakers vie for the title of World's Largest. Toyota has predicted that it will increase sales in 2014 to 10.32 million - which would make Toyota the first automaker ever to surpass 10 million global sales - though General Motors and VW are expected to again fight for the lead in the massive Chinese market. Stay tuned.

Toyota reveals new TS040 Hybrid LMP1 [w/videos, poll]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

There's a new season of motor racing upon us, and while that doesn't always mean a new crop of cars in every series, in the case of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship, that's exactly what it means. Porsche recently revealed its new 919 Hybrid and Audi its revised R18 E-Tron Quattro. Now it's Toyota's turn.
Revealed today at the Paul Ricard test track in the South of France, the new TS040 Hybrid is based on the TS030 Hybrid it replaces, redesigned to meet the latest regulations established by the FIA and ACO for the World Endurance Championship and its flagship race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In accordance with said regulations, the TS040 is two inches narrower than the TS030 and also incorporates a new hybrid powertrain.
The previous 3.4-liter V8 has been replaced by a 3.7-liter V8 developing 513 horsepower, and the new engine is coupled to an Aisin AW electric motor at the front, a Denso electric motor at the rear and a Nisshinbo super-capacitor that combine to kick out an extra 473 hp, giving the system a combined output of nearly 1,000 horsepower while consuming 25 percent less fuel than last year's car. It also gives the TS040 all-wheel drive to help channel all that power to the road.

Toyota SEMA cars include Tundra for Baja and wacky DUB Edition Yaris

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Toyota has released the first images of its brigade of concepts for the 2014 SEMA Show, introducing a trio of TRD-fettled off-roaders, a pair of DUB-inspired models, a race-ready pickup and a Sienna minivan with 48 inches worth of subwoofers.
Four of the vehicles being shown by Toyota will take part in the grueling Baja 1000 off-road race. The star of that effort will be a race-prepared Tundra, which will actually be competing from November 12 to 16 in the 47th running of the desert race. It'll be supported by a trio of vehicles, which mimics Toyota's TRD Pro Series production vehicles, with the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra all acting as support vehicles.
Each of these vehicles has been fabricated by the off-road specialists at N-Fab and comes loaded down with communications and guidance equipment, additional lights and off-road body modifications.
