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.

Toyota TRD Pro lineup coming next week

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

A mysterious Toyota commercial recently popped up on YouTube teasing a new TRD Pro lineup for the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner, and now we're getting our first official word straight from the automaker on the matter. Courtesy of its Facebook page, Toyota is promising that the TRD Pro models will be introduced on February 6th, ready to "conquer the great outdoors."
This date just so happens to mark the first day of the always-truck-friendly Chicago Auto Show, so while Toyota isn't saying as much, we're almost certain the trucks will show up next week in the Windy City. It's not clear what sort of upgrades TRD Pro brings, but it definitely includes black wheels and a tweaked front end featuring a thick, single-bar grille and bold lettering in place of the stylized Toyota logo (shown above on the Tundra).
Scroll down to see the video, and head over to Toyota's Facebook page to see a teaser image of the 4Runner TRD Pro.

Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory. The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears.
We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in this teaser. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple getup granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not.
But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.

Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.
