 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.

2014 Toyota Prius crash test rating drops to four stars

Thu, Jan 16 2014

If nothing has changed, then how come something changed? That's the question behind the recent drop from five to four stars in the crash test rating for the Toyota Prius. As you can see on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, the 2014 Prius gets four stars overall while the 2013 got five. The two cars are basically identical, so what gives? Toyota says it is not sure why NHTSA rated the Prius a four this time. Starting with the 2011 model year, NHTSA updated its rating system and says in a FAQ that vehicles that had four- or five-star ratings could get lower ratings "even if no changes have been made to the vehicle." Green Car Reports says that the issue is a new set of frontal barrier tests that were conducted on the 2014 Prius last month and that resulted in the first new bits of crash test data for the car in years. The 2012 and 2013 Prius models were rated based on tests done in February 2011 on a 2011 Prius. All of these are variants of the third-generation model. The next-gen Prius is expected in 2015. Jana Hartline, environmental communication manager at Toyota Motor Sales, USA, told AutoblogGreen that the company doesn't quite know what's going on with the drop in crash test scores: There have been no changes in the test standards and no changes in the car, other than minor reinforcement for small overlap crash test which we believe did not compromise integrity. We are not sure why it rated a 4 this time. We are looking at the test results and we are confident the new generation will move back to 5 stars. 2014 Prius still has a five-star rating for the side crash test and four in the rollover test.

Toyota GT86 convertible on 'indefinite hold'

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

Bad news, sportscar fans. According to a new report from What Car?, Toyota has cancelled plans to produce a GT86 convertible, a model based on the FT-86 Open Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In truth, Toyota never actually confirmed it would produce the budget-friendly droptop in the first place, but rumors have been flying since last year and Toyota reportedly showed its embattled Scion dealers a FR-S version of the convertible in August. Presumably, this means that a lidless variant of the Subaru BRZ is not in the cards, either.
The reason for the move is unknown, though What Car? reports "one possible cause is weight; Toyota did say that further work would be required on rigidity before the convertible could be launched, and that could have added extra bulk that conflict with the regular GT86's ethos of light weight and agile handling." It doesn't look like that work will happen anytime soon, as "sources now say that the car has now been delayed indefinitely, with no place in Toyota's product plan in either 2014 or 2015." Still holding out hope? What Car? says the project could be "fast-tracked" if management decides it wants to reboot the program down the road.
