2000 Toyota Corolla VE
Only 83,000 Miles!!!

Please note: I am only willing to accept cash, electronic transfer such as Chase QuickPay, or a bank-certified check. I will not accept credit card payments of any kind! The car MUST be picked up within 3 days of winning the auction. I cannot budge on this because I will be moving to New York City. Please please please do not bid if you can't meet these conditions. 

***I would be more than happy to let you test drive this car! If you would like to do so, please send me a message through eBay and leave your name and phone number. I am located in the city of Chicago in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood, and you will need to come to my place in order to test drive the car. 

Here are the important details:

I am the original and sole owner of this car. I purchased it brand new in April of 2000. I have been the only driver of this car, and it has never been in any accidents. The driving pattern has been a mix of both highway and city driving. I lived in St. Louis for the first 5 years of the car, which is where most of the mileage occurred. This was mostly highway driving. I've only driven about 27,000 miles in the past 9 years. This has been a mix of city driving and highway driving--mostly from driving I-55 back to St. Louis once or twice a year. The only reason I am not keeping this car is because I am moving to New York City, where I don't really need a car, and the costs of owning one is absurd. 

  • The really great thing about this car is that it only has 82,392 miles at the exact moment I am typing this. Mechanically, this car is in excellent condition. The only non-routine repair I have ever needed on this car was to replace the front struts, thanks to a huge Chicago pothole. This occurred in August of 2011. I have documentation for this and most of the last few routine repairs. I can provide copies or possibly a PDF scan. I have diligently kept up with all routine maintenance throughout the life of this car:
  • The car is working on its second battery, which is about 5 years old. I am very conscientious about having all electrical components--a/c, radio, etc--turned off when I cut power to the engine. I have not had any issues with the battery. I cannot find documentation for this one, but I can tell you that I bought the battery at a place that sells industrial batteries, so it is a quality battery.
  • The car is working on its third set of front brakes replaced in August of 2011, and its second set of rear brakes replaced in 2008. The brakes are still very strong and don't require a lot of pressure on the brake pedal. 
  • The car is working on its second set of tires, which were replaced in November of 2009. They've got maybe 12,000 miles on them. The tread is over 50%, and the tires still perform well in the rain. 
  • Oil has been replaced regularly about 3 times per year. The last tune-up was around 75,000 miles. The only thing needed outside of transmission flush, etc, was a new serpentine belt, which is pretty standard. (I can't find documentation for this one either.)
  • The a/c and heating are both still excellent. Never any problems and still work like brand new. 
  • This car has passed all safety and emissions tests each year. 
In looking at the Kelley Blue Book ratings, I would consider the mechanics of the car to be excellent. 

In looking at the Kelley Blue Book ratings for non-mechanical issues, I would consider the car to be good (fair if being extra conservative). None of the issues with the car require necessary repairs. They are all superficially cosmetic flaws. I will try to describe them as best as I can. 

  • There are a few places with rust. This occurs on the front hood, trunk, and along the driver-side back bumper area. None of the metal has been eaten through, and none of the rust stains are larger than that of a quarter. (See pictures.)
  • The car has its fair share of dings. The largest is on the driver-side rear end, right next to the bumper. There are a couple of other minor dings throughout the body of the car. Mostly from door bumps and a few on the roof from a hail storm. 
  • There are a couple of stains on the interior cloth seats. Mostly from accidentally wiping oily hands on the seat after working on the car, and also from foolishly placing a bag of greasy food directly on the seat. Durrr... These stains aren't recent, so there isn't a chance that they'll stain your clothes or anything like that. 
  • The cigarette lighter is broken. It's jammed and won't come out. 
  • The CD player can be wonky at times. It is finnicky and will only play some CDs--haven't figured out the rhyme or reason. The am/fm radio on the CD player works fine. 

So that's that. Overall, if you place a high priority on a mechanically sound vehicle, I think my opening bid is very, very reasonable given the low mileage and care I have taken with this car. To sweeten the deal, I'm going to throw in a few extra goodies--an ice chipper, two brand new oil filters, three new quarts of 5W-30, and one extra hubcap. 

Last but not least, I have been on eBay for 15 years. In the entirety of that time, I have sold thousands of items, and I have received only 3 negative feedbacks. My honesty and integrity speak for themselves! 

Please contact me with any queries.

I meant to say that I've been on ebay for 12 years; not 15. Sorry, didn't mean to misrepresent!

Russians create Toyota Land Cruiser ice sculpture with full interior

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a pretty hot model around the world. But it took the Russians to make it cool. We have few hard, cold facts and only small slivers of information about these photos, but it seems the icy Toyota was part of the International Snow & Ice Festival in Perm, Russia.
Artists took a huge chunk of ice and shaved it down to the temporary art installation you see here. The sub-zero SUV comes complete with a full interior accessed by the (permanently frozen open) driver's side door. The steering wheel and seats look to be upholstered in, well, dirt. With the back seats removed, the frigid four-door is a pretty slick ride in which to chill out.
Just a thought, but wouldn't a Toyota Tundra have been more appropriate? See the gallery for more photos.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper

Fri, Nov 10 2017

With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.

Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene. Scroll down to check out the video, but make sure you have the "CC" button clicked, because several portions are subtitled.
