Like sand through the hour-glass, so go the days of our lives, and this car has been a big part of our lives.


This is a 1998 Toyota Corolla LE.  The car has 235,588 miles.  We acquired the car in 2003 when it had 65,925 miles.  Since we have owned the car we have replace all four struts, rebuilt the brakes (front and rear), purchased one new battery and replace the power-steering pressure hose.  Oil has been routinely change every 5,000 miles.  The car drives straight, stops straight, and the air conditioner is nice and cold.  Cruise control works, as does the AM/FM Cassette Stereo. 

 

As disclosed above, the check engine light is on due to the depleted catalyst in the catalytic converter. I have enquired of a local mechanic and the cost of parts and labor to correct this issue is approximately $350.00.  This statement is not to be construed as a warranty or guarantee, it is simply a disclosure of the one deficiency that I know of with respect to the mechanical soundness of the car.   

 

Regarding the body, the clear coating is peeling off of the hood.  There is a crack in the nose which is shown in the pictures.  The wheels could benefit from a good scrubbing and likewise the carpeting could use a thorough shampooing.  That said, the seats are all in-tact with no rips, holes or tears.  This has been a non-smoking car.  All feature of the sun-roof are fully functional.  The vinyl material covering the door pillar on the passenger side is deteriorating.  


We purchased this car for our daughter prior to her 16th birthday.  I presented the keys to her with the following admonishment; "If you take care of this car, change the oil like I instructed and pay attention to the details, it will last you through high school, college, graduate school and your first two years of gainful employment.  By that time you should have saved a decent down payment for a new car."  I am happy to disclose that she did just that and the car served her as described.


I consider this car very reliable.  I drive 45 miles one way to work everyday.  If my primary driver had two flat tires in the garage tomorrow, I would have no qualms about grabbing the keys and driving the Toyota until my primary car was repaired.  


You are responsible for transporting the car to your abode.  I am willing to work with you on scheduling.  


Regarding payment, Cash is King.  Cashier's Check or Fed-wire are acceptable alternatives.  If your opt to pay by Fed-wire you will be responsible for all transfer fees.  If you choose to remit by cashiers check, I will retain the title until your funds are fully collected.  But bring your cash and you can drive it home.

MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.

TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!
