You are looking at a 2009 Toyota Corolla XRS that had an engine failure.  The car is the top of the line model XRS that has the upgraded 2.4L 4 cylinder engine and sport suspension, brakes, and a few other touches that make it stand out from the other models.  This one has been driven a lot- 132000 miles and it has some wear and tear but has held up well.  It has not been in an accident, has original paint, and driven on the highway a lot.  The paint has scratches here and there but most notably there are long scratches on the hood (see pic) and some on the roof from dragging something across it when the paint was dirty.  The roof has very minor hail damage but there is no hail on the rest of the car.  The front left fender has a small 2 inch dent.  The front bumper lower valences or ground effects have both been bumped and are loose.  The front bumper has plenty of nicks from rocks but is in good condition.  The only other body dent issue to note is the right rear door has a 4 inch or so dent (see pic).  There are some decent scratches on the rear bumper valence on the bottom left. (see pic). The paint otherwise will shine up nicely.  The interior could use some cleaning but is fairly clean already, and is in good condition.  It has black cloth seats that are made of quality cloth and are in good condition.  The carpet has a few stains.  The carpet and the floor mat under the drivers pedals has a wear mark that goes all the way through the fabric.  The dash is in good condition.  Options include a 6 disc cd changer, bluetooth hand free system with voice activation, XM capable stereo, AC, Sunroof, power mirrors, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, keyless entry (with one FOB), two glove boxes, and lots of cup holders.  The passenger side door hinge limiter (that keeps the door from opening too far) is broken in half and needs to be replaced.

Mechanically- The engine through a rod through the block and is not repairable.  It needs a new engine and does not start.  It has a 5 speed automatic transmission, stability control (with a switch to turn it off), and anti-lock brakes.  The wheels are the XRS-only 17 inch aluminum wheels with 215/45/17 tires.  The tires need to be replaced immediately. 

Overall this car has a lot of potential to either be a great car for the buyer or to make money if the intention is to fix and sell.  Please look up many different online appraisal estimates and then also search for other cars like this for sale to see what they are selling for.  The XRS trim line is uncommon and often sells for more then book value because of this.  Sold as is, not running, and needs to be towed at the buyers expense.  I will coopereate with any shipping arrangements made by the buyer at the buyers expense. Please ask any pertinent questions prior to bidding and I will get back to you ASAP!  Thank you very much for looking!

Toyota recalling FJ Cruiser due to excessively bright headlights

Sun, 05 May 2013

Now, hold on. This recall isn't quite as serious as it sounds. Yes, Toyota is recalling 11,489 FJ Cruiser models from the 2007 to 2013 model years, and yes, it's because the vehicles, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, 'Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.'" But read the fine print and you'll see the catch: This recall is only for vehicles fitted with the automaker's auxiliary lighting kit that can be mounted to the front bumper.
Basically, the auxiliary lamp assemblies use 55-watt bulbs, and when these are turned on in conjunction with the upper beam headlamps, it's a pretty blinding sight. NHTSA states that excessively bright lights can blind other drivers, increasing the risk for a crash.
To remedy the situation, Toyota will replace the 55-watt bulbs with cooler 35-watt units. The recall is expected to begin later this month. Scroll down for the full details in the NHTSA report.

Toyota's future fuel cell vehicle lineup revealed?

Wed, Aug 26 2015

Being an Olympic sponsor from 2017 through 2024 puts Toyota in the international limelight, and the company is preparing a fleet of efficient, cutting-edge vehicles just in time for the Tokyo games in 2020. At least eight new models could be on the way, according to Automotive News citing Best Car from Japan. Three of those might make use of the hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain developed for the Mirai. While many of these fuel cells are going into Japan-only vehicles, one of them could come here. Reiterating earlier rumors, Automotive News reports a hydrogen-powered Lexus LS is set for 2018. It could be even lighter than the current hybrid model, too. A similar version of the Toyota Crown would launch there in 2019 and possibly an FCEV Estima minivan, too. Beyond fuel cells, Toyota also intends to put the JPN Taxi Concept from the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show into production in time for the games, according to Automotive News. For 2017, the brand's flagship Century is also expected to adopt a hybrid V8 to replace the current V12, as well. Plus, many of its Japanese-market vans are also due for updates. All of this is certainly a massive undertaking to be ready in time, but Tokyo want to use the games as a chance to show the city as an innovative, international destination. Automotive News predicts Toyota could supply thousands of vehicles to haul all of the athletes and dignitaries around. In addition, the Japanese government wants 6,000 fuel cell vehicles on the road and 35 refueling stations up an running for the games. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan "religious" about zero-emissions, Tesla crashes at dealership, Formula E on-board video

Wed, Jul 16 2014

Nissan is pretty darn serious about being king of the EV industry. Just see what Chief Planning Officer Andy Palmer has to say at the launch of the e-NV200: "When it comes to zero emissions, we're absolutely religious. We'll be the absolute, No. 1 leader in zero emissions. No doubt. That's our positioning." Bold words, to be sure. Toyota, on the other hand, ended its collaboration with Tesla (whom Nissan mustn't forget about in its quest to reign supreme in the EV world) to build the RAV4 EV, and will focus instead on hybrids and testing the waters with hydrogen cars. Says Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America, "I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs." Read more at Automotive News or Autoweek. To celebrate 25 years of TDI technology, Audi is releasing the A7 Sportback 3.0 TDI Competition special edition in Europe. The Competition uses Audi's biturbocharged, 3.0-liter diesel engine boosted to 326 horsepower, giving the car a 0-62 time of 5.1 seconds. It comes with the S line sport package and is offered in four exterior colors: Daytona Gray, Misano Red, Nardo Gray and Sepang Blue. The interior is black leather, with the option of Misano Red or Agate Gray contrast stitching. The Competition edition will go on sale in August starting at ˆ72,000 (about $97,700). Audi's first Turbocharged Direct Injection engine debuted at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show in the Audi 100 2.5 TDI. See the press release down below for more details. There was another Tesla Model S crash recently, this one at the Tesla Store. The driver apparently crashed the freshly purchased car into the Tesla sign before even making it off the lot. According to Reddit user s1lentway, who was at the Tesla Store in Fremont, California when it happened, "We believe this is someone who just got their car. They must have been driving it for less than a minute and lost control, crashing right into the sign missing the showroom glass windows only by a few inches." Wrecked Exotics suggests the driver hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. Probably the best comment in the Reddit post: "Edison strikes again."
