I bought this vehicle a few days ago from a person who just bought a truck. It was a pretty good deal so I bought it. It was pretty dirty, and the gentleman was a smoker. Got it professionally detailed, but there is still a lingering smoke smell. It should go away in time. There are small dings in places. He also said that it was involved in an accident on the front drivers fender. It was repaired and they did a decent job, but a trained eye can tell it was painted. There are some cigarette burns in the back seats. There are 3 that I saw. There is a ding on the front roof right above the windshield. The paint is showing through there. The leather steering wheel cover needs to be replaced, as well as the shifter boot. The passenger side window is finicky when you try to put it up from the drivers side, but is fine from the passengers side. The window trim black pcs are all faded or hardened and could be replaced. The spare tire and wheel covers are missing. The body kit trim pcs on the bottom of the front bumper are missing. Despite these minor things it still looks pretty good. With a little TLC and a visit to a junk yard, it will be looking pretty good. None of these items are necessities but would just make the car look better.
Mechanically is runs great. New clutch, catalytic converter, tires and brakes within the last 6 to 18 months. The air is cold, stereo is pretty nice, no smoke, clutch is smooth, tinted windows (cheaper quality tint I think). If you want a good little dependable, high MPG vehicle, this may be it! Please ask questions. I paid extra the get the title immediately, so I do have it in hand.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect
Mon, 25 Feb 2013The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.
Toyota builds world's first 'outdoor website' for RAV4 promo
Thu, 08 Aug 2013This whole thing started with the premise that Toyota's target RAV4 buyers are people who spend their time cycling, hiking, and generally not in front of computer screens. These people are therefore not able to benefit from the full website experience that Toyota has built for the RAV4. We should clarify that the video below is for Toyota South Africa, and maybe RAV4 buyers there really are the disgustingly outdoorsy ideal that us bacon-eaters are not living up to.
Toyota's agency partner, Hello Computer, set up a 1.8-kilometer track at a cycle park that replicated sections of the automaker's website with real physical displays and interactive feedback. Riders were asked to leave their mouses and hit the trail on a mountain bike to experience the RAV4 Outdoor Website and learn about the vehicle.
That seems like a lot of effort for something that's available on the smartphones of these hyper-active people who aren't in front of computers, but hooray for creatively conquering a problem that didn't exist. Hey, let's not be complete wet blankets - maybe some of the cyclists that ran the Toyota gauntlet got a RAV4 for their to- and fro-ing after the experience. Check out the video of the outdoor website below.
Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
