Her name is Lucy and she is one tough babe.  She enjoys long drives along the beach, breathing in the mountain air, road trips to anywhere, camping and taking good care of her driver.

Runs great, drives great.  Don't let the mileage fool you, you will watch the odometer go all the way back around to 0 on this car and she'll keep going.  These engines last forever!  This is a very reliable car and I have most of the maintenance records.  The only other owner was my mother before she gave the car to me.

Before clicking "buy now" please email me for my phone # to ask questions or set up a time to view – TakeRedHome@aol.com.

Feel free to bring your mechanic and inspect the car on-site or we can take it to a mechanic of your choice.  Again, the car is located in Westminster, CA.


Here are the specifics on the car:

4 cylinder

4 speed Automatic transmission

Clean title

247k miles

 

Pros:

 - Great gas mileage! - 26 City/33 HWY

 - Engine and transmission in great shape

 - Ice cold A/C!

 - Brand new CD/USB/AUX AM FM radio - hook your iPod up to it!

 - Polk Audio UV resistant speakers

 - K&N air filter (improved performance, never needs replacing)

 - Well maintained

 - The interior is very clean and in great shape.  No tears in the seats

 - Just passed smog in July

 - Just did oil change

 

Cons:

The car is in great working condition with normal wear and tear.  Only minor inexpensive maintenance should be performed soon:

- replace left outer CV boot

- 2 new tires

- alignment

 

Other negatives to note about the car:

- There is a slight oil leak which will take some labor to repair as it's between the engine and tranny.  The leak is not bad at all, just a drop or 2 per day.  As long as you continue to change the oil regularly, every 3K miles or so, you will not get low on oil.  But if you don't want oil on your driveway, you'll want it fixed.

- Rear driver side fender bent slightly.  This happened shortly after buying the car in ’93 and it's not causing any problems, it's merely aesthetics.  No frame damage.

- Rear bumper paint is peeling.

- Brakes squeak briefly sometimes when cold.

 - Every once in a while the power steering pump hums slightly so it will eventually need to be replaced down the road but most likely not for a while.  Mechanic couldn't couldn't say when, could be a year or 2 or longer.   The power steering works great now and the pump does not need replacing at this time.

- The dome light works, it just does not come on when driver’s side door is open, but it comes on when the other doors are open.  If you need the light on with driver’s door open, simply switch it to “on”. 

 

 There you have it.  Honestly, this is a great car that won’t let you down.  If you take good care of her like I did, she will take good care of you.

Recharge Wrap-up: Couple wins Toyota Mirai; Tesla Gigafactory wages reported

Sat, Nov 22 2014

A couple who won a Toyota Mirai at the Los Angeles Auto Show are among the first people to own the new fuel-cell sedan. Marianne Ellis bought the winning ticket - auctioned off by the Environmental Media Association to fund environmental programs - as a possible 30th anniversary gift for her husband, David. The excited couple picked up their ceremonial keys at the LA Auto Show on Wednesday. "For us, it's about being at the cutting edge of change," says Marianne Ellis. "It's a chance to support environmental causes and clean energy, while showing it's possible to make a car like this part of your lifestyle." The Mirai will go on sale in California in the fall of 2015. Read more in the press release below. The salaries for 6,500 full-time employees at Tesla's Gigafactory battery production facility have been reported. According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, the 4,550 production associates and 200 material handlers will be paid $22.79 an hour. 460 equipment technicians and 360 quality technicians will get $27.88 an hour. 930 engineers and senior staff will earn $41.83, or $87,000 a year.

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.

Toyota has two all-new 8-passenger SUVs in the works, and one's a Lexus

Thu, Apr 29 2021

Toyota announced yesterday that its Princeton, Indiana, manufacturing plant is getting a big $803 million infusion of cash. The reason? Toyota casually dropped that it will soon build “two all-new, three-row SUVs” there. TheyÂ’ll be “designed with the active Gen Y American Family in mind,” which is another way of saying that Toyota is targeting Millennials. In case you missed it, Millennials are in their late 20s and 30s now! That means they have growing families and need more space to put them. Both new SUVs will seat up to eight passengers. The other big reveal is that both will be electrified. WeÂ’re going to assume that means theyÂ’ll be regular hybrids in ToyotaÂ’s case, though thereÂ’s every possibility for a PHEV “Prime” version, too. Both will have semi-automated driving systems, advanced enough that they will “allow for hands-free driving in certain conditions.” Plus, there will be a remote parking system that allows “the driver to park and unpark outside the vehicle using a smartphone.” The last nugget of tech Toyota is sharing with us is that both will use a new “digital key” that turns your smartphone into a quasi key and allows you to share it digitally with others. Another bit of information concerning these two is that one will be a Toyota, and the other will be a Lexus. What these two models will be named is not yet clear. Seeing “three-row SUV,” our minds instantly go to Sequoia. That model is as old as it gets these days, and is deeply in need of a redesign — the current generation launched all the way back in 2008. However, Toyota does not explicitly say that this news pertains to the next-gen Sequoia. In fact, previous reports of the Sequoia shifting its production location to San Antonio lead us to believe that this news has absolutely nothing to do with a potential next generation of the SUV. Coincidentally, the Sequoia is currently built at the Princeton, Indiana, plant thatÂ’s getting this investment — that official switchover to Texas is reported to happen sometime in 2022.  ToyotaÂ’s language in this press release, plus the knowledge that Sequoia is leaving Indiana, all indicates that these two three-row SUVs might not be rough-and-tumble body-on-frame off-roaders. TheyÂ’re likely going to be plenty capable (hitting that “active lifestyle” market), but the focus toward families suggests that comfort could be paramount.
