2003 Toyota Corolla S Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Aurora, Illinois, United States
|
On
behalf of my friend I am auctioning his 2003 Toyota Corolla S which runs but
cannot be driven due to a broken left front spring. The car has 166,068 miles. He
is the 2nd owner. It is silver with black cloth interior. Some of
the equipment on this Corolla includes: automatic transmission; power
locks/windows/mirrors; keyless entry; cruise control; and AM/FM CD player. The
car has a clean and clear Illinois title. Please read below for a detailed
description of this Corolla.
MECHANICAL The car
starts right away and runs strong with smooth shifts. There are no leaks or unusual
noises but the engine compartment is dirty. My friend has kept up with all
regular maintenance and just put new tires on in November, 2013. The suspension,
however, needs work. The left front spring broke and it appears it will also need
front struts and inner/outer tie rods. There is also a loud popping noise when
turning the steering wheel. No formal inspections have been done so this is
just an assumption of what is needed with the suspension.
EXTERIOR As
would be expected from an 11 year old car the exterior is showing signs of age.
There are dings, scratches, faded paint, and rust throughout. There is no major
body damage. As far as my friend knows the only accident the car was involved
in was a low speed parking lot fender bender that required paint work to the
left front fender.
INTERIOR The
interior just needs a good cleaning as we are coming out of a long winter here
in the Chicago area. There are no signs of unusual wear to the interior of the
car or unusual odors. Also it’s important to note that my friend is not a
smoker and has no pets.
TERMS
OF SALE
The car
is under a reserve auction and the final reserve amount will not be disclosed.
The car is listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
The car can be inspected in Aurora, IL on week nights with advance notice but
because of the broken left front spring I cannot let you take the car on a test
drive for liability reasons. You are not bidding on a cream puff – this is an
11 year old car that has been driven daily and needs suspension work so please
keep that in mind when bidding. That
being said this car is being sold as is and where is. There are no guarantees,
warranties, or refunds. If you buy this car you must pay a $1000 deposit within
48 hours and the full balance within a week. You must also arrange transportation
– again the car is not safe to drive. If you are paying by cashier’s check the
vehicle will not be released until funds are confirmed. Please only bid if you
are serious about buying this car. I will answer any questions you have so
please feel free to ask them before bidding! |

Toyota GT86 convertible on 'indefinite hold'
Sat, 05 Oct 2013Bad 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.

Toyota recalling 615k Sienna models over rollaway risk
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Toyota has announced a recall affecting approximately 615,000 Sienna minivans due to a possible rollaway risk. All of the vehicles in question are from the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 model years.
In an official statement, the automaker states that the problem stems from the vehicle's shift lever assembly. "Because of the potential for damage to the shift lock solenoid installed in involved vehicles, there is a possibility that the shift lever could be moved out of the 'P' position without the driver depressing the brake pedal," Toyota said. Because of this fault, the affected Sienna models could roll away without warning, increasing the risk for a crash.
Owners will be notified via first class mail, and the affected Sienna models can be taken to Toyota dealerships to have the shift lock solenoid replaced with a new one. Have a look below for the automaker's official release.
