Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Scratches, rust, cosmetic issues, as might be expected.FRAME RUST ISSUE: around-town driving recommended.Puff of blue smoke on start.Coolant leak.Recent work: new exhaust, all brake work done.Good clutch, strong engine."

Air blows cold, cruise control works, roof rack, runs and drives great. Five speed with a strong clutch, new brakes, new exhaust, and very clean interior.

Here's the deal on this car.
I just bought it for $1,200, then did a front end alignment, then took it in for a safety check.
It turns out, the seller I bought from "forgot" to mention a few small issues regarding this car; I am choosing to sell it at a loss that I can accept, or else learn how to part out a car!
The issues:
puff of blue smoke on cold starts (it lasts about one second).
leaking antifreeze from the radiator or near the radiator, I am not sure exactly.
And the biggest issue: the frame is badly rusted. Some welding has been done under the car to combat this. However, upon the safety check my mechanic told me that he feels the car is unsafe for use as my do-everything vehicle. He said he would feel ok with me driving it locally, but did not want to see my taking it across the country (as he knows I have a tendency to do). The frame is especially bad in the rear and poses a serious safety issue if the car was ever rear-ended. 
The car can and has been taken on the expressway (I drove it about 500 miles on expressways in the couple days after purchasing), but for safety reasons this is not recommended.
Therefore I am selling it as a PARTS CAR that can be driven home. If you are uncomfortable driving it at all, I can deliver to you for the cost of gas plus $7 an hour driving time, within about 5 hours or so of Hillsdale, MI. Remember when calculating the costs that two people will have to drive out and a five hour drive would be twenty hours of driving time (2 people making the 5 hour drive twice). Despite the warning on the frame it does run and drive great and I will be driving it until it is sold or too parted out to keep driving.

It has other cosmetic issues (rust, dings, and scratches on the body) as might be expected for a 20 year old car. I do think it looks better in the pics than in real life, so buy accordingly. There are rust holes under the doors that are not really visible in the photos, and the scratch on the driver's side rear door is worse than it looks in the pic, though still cosmetic only.

If you just want a cheap, good car, this is probably not for you.

If you have one of these and you want a perfectly good, running parts car with everything there and working, maybe it's for you. The cruise works, the air blows cold, the factory radio is good, ALL electronics work except the cig. lighter.
The engine runs VERY STRONG.
The clutch is good.
Teach your kids to drive stick in the meantime! 
the E brake does not work. Aside from what is mentioned, everything is top notch. It's a shame it can't/shouldn't stay on the road.

Thanks for looking. If it's not bought I will be parting it out. Send me a message to express interest in specific parts in advance, and I can contact you once they are listed.

Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.

New Toyota semiconductors could increase hybrid fuel efficiency by 10%

Wed, 21 May 2014

Toyota may have an ace up its sleeve in the fuel economy wars, as it's developed a new type of semiconductor that will allegedly help the company's hybrids net a ten-percent improvement in fuel economy.
The tech is still in development, although Toyota is already reporting five-percent gains during testing, six years before it plans to implement the new semiconductor in production vehicles, meaning the ten-percent improvement doesn't seem like an untenable goal. That is, until you hear from Kimimori Hamada, the project general manager of Toyota's electronics division.
"We are aiming for great improvement in fuel economy and miniaturization," Hamada told Automotive News. "This is a very challenging target."
