1991 Toyota Corolla Dlx All Trac Wagon Automatic W/overdrive Clean! on 2040-cars
|
You are purchasing a RARE 1991 Toyota Corolla DX All-Trac wagon. I would drive this car anywhere without hesitation. Click on the AutoCheck link for full history. I am the 3rd owner in 23 years: NO wrecks, clean title, mileage checks out. I looked for an All-Trac wagon w/auto trans/overdrive (rare) for several years before I found this car from Jay Johnson Toyota, Bristol TN in 2005 with 107,000 miles. It now has 188,996 miles. The majority of the miles I put on the car are highway miles on I-77 and I-40. I am a musician so I bought the car to carry my guitars and amps to gigs, practices, auditions, studio work etc. I live about 1.5 hrs away from most of the places I play so this car has to get me there and home safely. It has never let me down. It is reliable, roomy, runs strong, gets about 30mpg on interstates (cruises at 70-75 mph no problem with power to spare), 25 mpg around town. One reason that this car has been so reliable is all the money I have spent on professional repairs for any problem that occurs asap. In addition to a regular oil change every 3,000 miles and tire balancing/rotation about every 6,000 miles, here is a list of repairs, new parts, work etc. that has been done to the car since I have owned it. I have receipts for most if not all of this work and will be included for new owner. Professional upgrade polyurethane paint job by Maaco in 07, repainted (original Toyota factory paint code 1991) red with some rust repair and pin striping. New gas tank Drivers side mirror replaced Drivers door handle replaced Battery about 3-4 years ago, starts quick, It was checked before winter valve seals replaced about 30K ago head machined about 30K ago New head gasket when head was machined New timing belt about 30k ago Oil Pan Gasket about 20K ago Alignment about 20k Plug Wires about 60k ago New muffler, tailpipe about 50K ago New brakes front and rear about 50k ago New water pump about 40k ago Replaced various hoses when a leak was detected Oil send unit about 20k ago Michelin Wiper Blades 2 years ago Plugs about 10k ago Main belt about 20k ago Cooling System Pressure Flushed about 20K ago Auto Trans Pressure flushed/filter about 10K ago New struts on front shocks on back about 50k ago New Pioneer CD/am/fm radio mp3 player w/ 4 new speakers 2 years old Latest set of tires are good for at least another 15-20K I totaled up the receipts that I could find and got about $5,946.11 which does not include all oil changes and tires over the last 9 years. The receipts all have some form of repair/parts replacement/labor /paint costs etc. for the car. I will include the receipts, window sticker/sales documentation from Jay Johnson Toyota in 2005 with the car along with the original owners manual. I can't find my receipt for the Pioneer CD/AM/FM/mp3 player and 4 speakers but that was close to $300 with installation. The car starts, runs, drives great but some work will be needed in the future for the car to drive it’s best, which is how it has been maintained while I have owned it. The new owner should address or be aware of these items:
This is a good car. I have always maintained it well and it has been garaged since I have owned it. Because the car was garaged I made sure any water/oil/gas leaks were repaired. I do not like to see a leak on my garage floor so the car as of today does not leak fluids. The heater is the best I have ever had in a car. You will stay warm in this car. Tracks well down the road. Excellent power for a 4 cylinder once you get up to speed. The work on the head noticeably increased the power. I have the seats folded down most of the time to haul guitars/amps etc. but there is plenty of room for 4 adults in this car with cargo space behind the hatch. Think a family of four with a load of groceries in the back. This car has saved me several times in bad weather. The Toyota All-Trac all wheel drive will get you home. This winter with 20 inches of heavy, wet snow that my neighbors had difficulty getting out with their SUV’s this Corolla wagon barely slipped, going anywhere I needed to go. In bad rain storms this car holds the pavement very well going up and down hills etc. I already regret selling this wagon but I have a new commuter music vehicle so my loyal friend must find a new home. A bonus for you is a NOS set of factory Toyota Corolla wheel covers from this model. I had just put the present ones on (nothing wrong with them) when I saw these NOS caps on ebay. They were not cheap but I will include the caps with the sale of the car. Clear Title $4999 or best offer. CASH, Certified Bank Check, USPS Money Orders are acceptable forms of payment. My bank requires a minimum of 5 business days for any check to clear before shipping or signing over title. USPS money orders can be cashed at local post office and are quicker. $1000 limit per MO so several would be needed. CASH in person is KING. $500 paypal deposit is due within 48 hours from end of auction. Sold As Is, No warranty, No Returns, All Sales Final. You are welcome to inspect the vehicle in person. If you elect to ship the car within the lower 48 of USA click on the shipping tab (need to be logged in your ebay account) to get quotes for shipping. All matters relating to shipping and paying for shipping this car are the buyers/shipping companies responsibility. I will oversee the loading of the car and process any paperwork at the time of pickup. I assume no liability for the car once the shipping service arrives for the pickup. I am listing this car in all local sources, trade publications, newspaper, CL etc. and getting the word out to my contacts that the car is available. This All-Trac wagon will sell soon so don't snooze on this great car.

Lower gas prices mean there are excellent deals on green cars right now
Sat, Jan 17 2015The phenomenon was big enough to make news in 2006, then in 2008, in 2011, in 2012, in 2013, and again last year: a big move in gas prices means a big move in alternative-fuel-vehicle sales. True Car's TrueSavings report, which averages transaction prices across the country to figure out what people are paying compared to MSRP, shows that electric cars and hybrids are ripe for excellent savings right now. The Ford Focus Electric presents the greatest disparity, with the average transaction price of $25,168 representing a 16.1-percent saving off its $29,995 MSRP. The Kia Optima Hybrid and Toyota Prius also snagged spots in the top five, with the Kia offering a 10.7-percent discount and the Toyota a 10.1-percent discount. One hybrid managed to show up among the top five lease offers, too: the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is just $315 a month for 36 months after $3,875 down in some markets. Alt-energy vehicles got bumped out of the top five finance deals, however. That was dominated by light trucks and, oddly, two subcompacts. The press release below has more details. TrueCar finds hybrids, EVs top list of best savings in January Gasoline price plunge = savings for consumers on alternative fuel vehicles SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford's Focus Electric hatchback, which sells at an average of 16 percent off MSRP, tops January's list of best savings on new vehicles, according to TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform. The "TrueSavings" monthly report analyzes current transaction prices and identifies opportunities for consumer savings. "Fuel savings are not top of mind to many consumers right now, and that makes this a great time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle," said John Krafcik, president of TrueCar. "With gasoline prices now averaging just $2.10 per gallon, and vehicle preferences tied so closely to short-term gasoline prices, automakers are heavily discounting their most fuel-efficient cars to clear inventories." Toyota's Prius, the world's best-selling alternative fuel vehicle for more than a decade, also makes January's list of best savings. Customers who purchase a Prius Two model this month can save 10 percent off the hybrid car's $25,025 MSRP. "Gasoline prices and vehicle type preferences are strongly related, and this relationship is cyclical in nature," said Krafcik.
Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ
Tue, Sep 30 2014A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Cadillac will likely show an improved version of the ELR at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The 2016 ELR will include unspecified "engineering enhancements," according to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell. There will be no 2015 model, as the 2014 model will be sold until the 2016 ELR goes on sale in the first half 2015. Read more at Edmunds. Uber executives, along with Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, have announced a major expansion of the ride-hailing company's Chicago headquarters. Uber also plans to add 420 jobs by the end of 2016.

Last month, Quinn vetoed legislation that would have put restrictions on companies like Uber in the state. Read more in the press release below.

NHTSA investigating 30,000 Toyota Camry Hybrids for brake assist problems
Mon, Jan 27 2014Older model Toyota Camry Hybrids are under investigation by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for potential braking problems. Enough complaints have poured into the NHTSA website that the agency is now taking a look at the problem, which could affect around 30,000 vehicles from the 2007 and 2008 model years. According to Reuters, 59 complaints have been submitted revolving around an "intermittent loss of assisted braking" which means the car takes longer to stop. Interestingly, the rate of complaints is increasing. Toyota is reportedly cooperating with NHTSA and there has not yet been an official recall on the Camry Hybrids. In 2006, Toyota said Brake Assist was "an electronic function that senses an emergency stop and applies increased braking power once the driver touches the brake pedal." When Toyota unveiled the 2007 Camry Hybrid, it proudly stated that the new Brake Assist function would be standard. Other Toyota hybrids have had problems with their brakes in the past, including the 2010 Prius and Lexus HS 250h hybrid. You can read some of the complaints about Brake Assist in the Camry Hybrids to the NHTSA here. People are saying that the "Check VSC" lights can come on before the brakes loose some of their power and a lot of them are being quoted repair costs of over $3,000 by Toyota dealers.
