Selling a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, mechanically the car has been running great and has been well maintained with synthetic oil and routine maintenance. Most of the miles were highway mileage. Please keep in mind however this is a higher mileage car so there is always some uncertainty in what can happen, however others routinely tell me that getting the vehicle to 250K+ is not unusual for a toyota. Please feel free to contact me if you want to inspect the vehicle and complete a test drive... email/text message works best. 
Reserve is set at $5K.  

Some other facts:
Front brakes replaced within last 2K miles, rear brakes within past 25K miles
Tires were purchased at 150K miles so I anticipate another 40K miles in tire life
Within past 30 days replaced radiator and rear wheel bearings ($2100 value)
Inverter was replaced within past 2 years as part of Toyota recall ($12,000 part replacement)
Battery life still appears good, Hybrid portion of vehicle has been running well
It's very possible this vehicle is worth much more than the selling price due to the all of the hybrid components within the vehicle. 

No issues with running the vehicle.

Please note there are definitely some cosmetic issues both interior and exterior. For those willing to ignore/overlook some of the cosmetic issues you however can get a price well below typical market price. I have tried including pictures as much as possible. Exterior does have some minor rust spots where paint was scratched as well as some dings on front bumper and sides of car. Windshield has a pit which was repaired several years ago and has held up well. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I have priced near/below blue book and edmunds which doesn't consider the value of the recent repairs and maintenance to the vehicle which should help the vehicle run well for a while.

Shipping is complete responsibility of the buyer.  I would prefer a local sale but I will make arrangements accordingly.  Payment accepted through any secure method include validated paypal accounts.  Please feel free to contact me with your email address if you would like a copy of the carfax report for this vehicle.

Recharge Wrap-up: Control Tesla Model S from your wrist, NASCAR's E15 milestone

Mon, Jul 28 2014

Tesla Model S owners can now control their car with Android Wear. A new, free app for the Android wrist devices, called Tesla Command, allows the user to control car functions such as the locks, horn, and sunroof from outside the vehicle. The developer promises more features are coming soon. Watch the video below for a demonstration, or head over to 9 to 5 Google to read more. NASCAR drivers have raced 6 million miles on E15 fuel. The stock car series reached the milestone on July 20 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. NASCAR has been using Sunoco Green E15 gasoline since the start of the 2011 season, which the group credits with increasing horsepower and reducing emissions. The US Department of Energy notably approved the 15-percent corn ethanol blend after 6 million miles of testing. Read more at Domestic Fuel. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has decided to continue its incentive program for alternative fuel vehicles. Buyers of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids with batteries larger than 10 kWh will continue to get a $2,000 rebate (until December 31 or until 500 are sold, whichever comes first). Various EVs with batteries less than 10 kWh, as well as natural gas, propane and hydrogen-powered cars, will get $1,000 back. Electric motorcycles and scooters are offered a $500 rebate. Get more details at ABC 27. Toyota subsidiary Primearth EV Energy is set to expand production of nickel metal hydride batteries for hybrid cars. Due to high demand, production capacity will ramp up from 300,000 to provide batteries for 500,000 vehicles at its Miyagi prefecture plant. The company eventually plans to be able to produce batteries for 1.4 million hybrids per year. Primearth EV Energy currently supplies batteries for the Toyota Prius and Yaris hybrids, as well as Mazda's Axela (AKA Mazda3 in the US) hybrid. Read more at Economic Times.

Vote to unionize Toyota Canada plant faces delay

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

Volkswagen isn't the only automaker with high-profile unionization efforts afoot at one of its North American factories. Unifor, Canada's largest private-sector union, is attempting to organize Toyota's factories in Ontario, reports Reuters. A vote was originally set for next week, but Unifor has apparently found more workers eligible to vote, delaying the proceedings. It hasn't rescheduled the ballot yet, but claims there are 7,500 employees with the right to vote, with over 3,000 having already signed union cards.
Toyota is pushing against organizing, saying that workers already have a payment and benefits near the top of the industry, and noting that it has never laid off a permanent employee in Canada. Unifor has reportedly countered by saying that about a quarter of the workforce is operating under a temporary contract, which receives lower benefits.
The automaker has three factories in Ontario - two in Cambridge and one in Woodstock. To form a union, a majority of eligible employees must vote to join Unifor. If successful, they would be the first wholly owned Toyota plants in North America to be organized. Previous attempts to unionize the Japanese automaker's Canadian factories in 2001 and 2008 failed due to lack of support.

Toyota retires robots in favor of humans to improve automaking process

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

Mitsuru Kawai is overseeing a return to the old ways at Toyota factories throughout Japan. Having spent 50 years at the Japanese automaker, Kawai remembers when manual skills were prized at the company and "experienced masters used to be called gods, and they could make anything." Company CEO Akio Toyoda personally chose Kawai to develop programs to teach workers metalcraft such as how to forge a crankshaft from scratch, and 100 workstations that formerly housed machines have been set aside for human training.
The idea is that when employees personally understand the fabrication of components, they will understand how to make better machines. Said Kawai, "To be the master of the machine, you have to have the knowledge and the skills to teach the machine." Lessons learned by the newly skilled workers have led to shorter production lines - in one case, 96percent shorter - improved parts production and less scrap.
Taking time to give workers the knowledge to solve problems instead of merely having them "feed parts into a machine and call somebody for help when it breaks down," Kawai's initiative is akin to that of Toyota's Operations Management Consulting Division, where new managers are given a length of time to finish a project but not given any help - they have to learn on their own. It's not a step back from Toyota's quest to build more than ten million cars a year; it's an effort to make sure that this time they don't sacrifice quality while making the effort. Said Kawai, "We need to become more solid and get back to basics."
