 What You See Is What You Get...

SUPER Reliable 1996 Toyota Corolla DX Wagon, but there is a story a problem that I FULLY RESOLVED.

The previous owner had a "malfunctioning odometer" and the odometer does not reflect the accurate mileage. Although the engine was COMPLETELY REBUILT 3,000 miles ago, the NJ DMV brought to my attention the car's accurate mileage is 300,000. The title is CLEAR, and reflects this discrepancy.

I have ALL the receipts of the rebuild, and will provide to owner. This car was a work vehicle in a past life, and would make a great commuter car, first car, or work vehicle again.

THE GOOD:

Mechincally this car is a dream. Smooth clutch, starts right up, COLD A/C.
Towing Hitch w/ 4 wide harness
Roof Racks
Lots of space

Here is a list of the new engine parts preformed March 12, 2013.

Replaced:


Piston & Rings

Main Bearing

Rob Bearing

Thrust Washers

Oil Pump

Water Pump

Timing Belt

Engine Seal (Front & rear)

Valve Stem Seals

All Gaskets

Spark Plugs

Radiator

Knock Sensor

Alarm System

The Bad (reflected in pictures):

Scratches throughout exterior.

Scratches on some of the interior panels

Small seat rip on passenger seat, small wear mark on driver (needs seat covers)

Rear windshield wiper is just there for looks. It doesn't work.

Minor fade marks to steering wheel.

Passenger side power lock button and key lock does not work (driver side does and remote unlocks door)

Back deck was manufactured by previous owner and is not stock

The engine light throws a knock sensor code every couple weeks. I'm assuming it is an occasional short in the system as the sensor is brand new, and the light is not constant.

Small rust spot underneath the rear passenger side door

Will need tires/alignment within the next couple months (uneven wear cause wobble in steering wheel over 65mph).

I am selling this car because I had a truck, wanted a vehicle I could do "truck like" things with, but at a cheaper cost on gas. But I miss having an actual truck. So time for it to go.

Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively.

Weekly Recap: Toyota wants cars to be your 'close friends' around 2020

Sat, Oct 10 2015

Toyota confirmed plans this week to launch autonomous technology in its production cars around 2020. The automaker's version is called Highway Teammate, and it's one element of a broader mobility strategy that includes vehicles communicating with each other and the grid. "Toyota believes that interactions between drivers and cars should mirror those between close friends who share a common purpose, sometimes watching over each other and sometimes helping each other out," the company said in a statement. That sounds utopian, and perhaps a bit cheesy, but it's an acknowledgment that autonomous driving requires more than technology developed in a vacuum. Toyota is looking at its research in a broader context, and dubs its overall strategy the Mobility Teammate Concept. Highway Teammate is the first step. Its test vehicle is a modified Lexus GS, which uses road-mapping data and external sensors to merge or exit highways, change lanes, and maintain safe distances during driving. It's operated on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. Toyota has been working on autonomous tech since the 1990s, with the goal of providing mobility for older people and the disabled, as well as lowering the frequency of traffic accidents. Toyota's push comes as an early adopter, Nissan, is hedging on its own deadline to implement the autonomous tech by 2020 due to a lack of firm laws governing self-driving cars around the world. Conversely, Volvo took the landmark step of being the first automaker to accept liability for when its cars will operate in autonomous mode, and urged the US government to set federal guidelines to regulate the technology. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 BMW M4 GTS: Your water-injected, turbo-boosted demon BMW is unleashing its most powerful M4 ever, a 493-horsepower special edition that's road legal yet bred for the track. The company is making 700 copies for sale around the world, and 300 of them will come to the United States. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder revs to 7,600 rpm and uses a water-injection technology to cool the intake air and lower the compression temperature. BMW says this allows it to wring more power out of the inline six. The car also uses carbon-fiber reinforced plastic for the roof, hood, engine compartment strut brace, drive shaft, and rear spoiler to reduce weight. The M4 features BMW's organic light-emitting diode taillights, which are said to be an industry first.
