Up for sale is my 2005 Toyota Corolla XRS.
The XRS is Toyota's souped up version of the Corolla. With the same Yamaha 2ZZ-GE used in the Lotus Elise and a tight 6-speed manual transmission, this car is athletic and zippy. The suspension is lowered and tightened at the factory, giving her sure and nimble footing. Check it out on Google or Wikipedia! The XRS is superbly well built and very popular.

I have taken excellent care of this car. All factory recommended maintenance has been performed at proper intervals. Oil changes have been performed every 5000 miles with Mobil-1 synthetic. She has been hand washed, hand waxed, and garage kept her entire life.

She sports several upgrades, including
 - Pin-striping and wheel well accents
 - Professional tint job on back windows and sunroof
 - Motegi lightweight alloy wheels
 - Bridgestone Potenza tires
 - Injen cold air intake
 - Magnaflow exhaust
 - TWM short shifter with weighted shift knob
 - Sony XPLOD radio head unit
 - Bazooka sub-woofer and amplifier

Nothing has been done to the engine and drive train, excluding routine maintenance such as fluid changes. She is extremely reliable, and has never given me trouble or left me stranded.

 - The engine runs strong and starts every time in all weather conditions. It idles smoothly and pulls cleanly through the rev range.
 - The transmission shifts smoothly and all gears and synchros engage without trouble. The short shifter gives each gear a very exact and precise feel.
 - The clutch and flywheel have less than 40000 miles and work perfectly; smooth engagement with no grinding or slipping.
 - The XRS features four-wheel ABS brakes, which work extremely well. They grab hard and track straight.
 - The steering tracks true and has recently had the alignment and balance checked in January when the new tires were installed.
 - The A/C was recharged last summer and blows ice cold. So much so that the top two settings are really only needed after a long day in a hot parking lot. 
 - All lights and indicators are good, including high beams, fog lights, and interior lights.
 - All electronics function good as new. Cruise control works properly, all power windows track properly from top to bottom, all power locks work correctly, wireless key fob locks and unlocks every time.
 - Fuel economy is very good. I routinely get 28 MPG on my split city / highway commute. Roadtrips normally show better than 32 MPG.
 - The interior is in great condition. Floor mats and carpet are new-car clean. Head liner is un-torn / un-stained. Seats and upholstery are mostly clean with some small discolorations and no rips or tears.
 - The exterior is in fantastic condition. No rust, dents, or body damage. Paint is clean and even. She looks like a much younger car!
 
Also included are user manual, wheel lock-nut tool, stock shifter and knob, stock intake, and stock radio.

Despite her excellent condition, she is still a used car and sports a few blemishes. There are some scratches on the right running board, a couple door dings from other cars, two bird poop spots on the hood, and various small nicks on the front of the hood. There are also some discolorations on the rear seat upholstery and the interior driver door handle is peeling on the back side. She also took a love tap to the bumper a year or two back while I was stationed in Pensacola. Fortunately, no serious or structural damage was done, and the damage was replaced with OEM Toyota parts by a certified professional body shop. It was a service in disguise, as the old bumper was pretty scratched up from whatever the previous owner liked to drag in and out of his trunk.

This car has a clean history and will show up well above average on any vin history check. Check out the free one eBay provides at the top of this description.

This is a truly excellent car with no parallel. She looks great, runs great, drives great, handles great, and has been a blast to own. Sadly, I am changing duty stations with the Navy and it is time for me to part ways. I'm going to miss her! This car has been a reliable friend for some of the best years of my life; I hope she can go on to serve you just as well!

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Watch the Muppets go for ice cream in a Toyota

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.
