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!

Toyota Pro/Celebrity race switching from Scion tC to FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Toyota has announced that the rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S will replace the front-wheel-drive Scion tC as the racecar used by actors, singers and celebrities of all grades in its annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. It's the first time a rear-drive vehicle has been used for the event in 27 years, with the tC having been in use since 2005, and the FWD Celica before that. This year's race takes place on April 20th amidst the festivities of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend.
The racing FR-S, which debuted today at the Chicago Auto Show, won't be left stock either, but rather outfitted with a range of official Toyota Racing Development parts and equipment, such as a stainless steel exhaust, new coil overs and springs, upgraded brakes, a bigger air intake and 18-inch wheels, not to mention all of the safety equipment required to keep the celebrities and pro drivers safe. The company says the performance mods have lifted horsepower to 210 from the standard car's 200. Check out the build process for the cars in the video below to see just how much work's been done.
The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race is also about more than just letting celebrities and pros do battle on a road course. The spectacle helps raise money for "Racing for Kids," a non-profit charity that supports children's hospitals in the US.

Toyota produces millionth truck in Texas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

After going online in 2006, Toyota's San Antonio, Texas truck plant has just built its one-millionth vehicle, the 2014 Tundra 1794 Edition you see above. The plant originally focused on just the Tundra pickup, but the smaller Tacoma started rolling off the line there in 2010, as well.
Fittingly, the 1794 Edition (a new premium trim level for 2014) pays homage to the property on which the Toyota plant now resides - a ranch that was founded in 1794. Scroll down for the official press release for the plant's milestone, and be sure to check out the full gallery of Tundra 1794 Edition images as well.

What would you drive in 1985?

Wed, May 6 2020

Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985? It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic." West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?
