For Sale: 2004 Toyota Matrix XR, Automatic Transmission, Meticulously Maintained 179,000 miles loaded with features: Keyless Entry, Fog Lights, Factory Ground effects package, aluminum alloy wheels, air condition, factory in dash 6 cd changer stereo, power windows door locks mirrors, cruise control, full instrument cluster with tachometer, power glass sunroof w/ privacy shade, rear tinted windows, professionally installed U-Haul Tow hitch (trailer power adapter installed), factory embroidered front and rear floor mats (I bought them new from the dealer when I got the car), rear electric defroster and wiper, and has a valid NJ Inspection sticker that expires in 08/2016. I bought this car in May 2011 from the third owner who got it from Toyota World of Lakewood, NJ. The car had about 88,000 miles on it. My job had me commuting about 80 miles round trip, sometimes six or seven days a week. I bought the car because it was great on gas, it was a Toyota that would last forever, front wheel drive (great for snow), and the maintenance on the car is simple. It has a timing CHAIN not a BELT thus never needs that expensive tune up most imports require. The car does not have a distributor cap or rotor, ignition wires and does not even have a fuel filter that requires changing. The car does have coil packs and a tune up consisted of an air filter and four spark plugs that can be inexpensively bought at any local auto parts store. The vehicle was meticulously maintained and I have paperwork to prove it. The oil was always changed at Valvoline instant oil change. I always used the oil for higher mileage cars as it is better for the car and protects the engine seals etc. I put so many highway miles on the car I normally ran the oil longer than 3,000 miles. The car qualifies for the Valvoline 250,000 mile engine warranty. I also had the air conditioning, transmission, fan belt, etc. serviced there. I bought the rear wiper blade from the Toyota dealer as it was a unique size. When I got the car I wanted to ensure the air conditioning was in good working order for the hot summer so I had Valvoline service it. They fully remove the entire amount of refrigerant from the system, ensure it has a good vacuum without any leaks, and then refills it with fresh refrigerant. They just confirmed for it this week that it is still functioning correctly and is ice cold like it should be. I also had the transmission fluid changed about once a year as I was doing a lot of highway miles for work. I flushed the coolant once a year and refilled it with pre diluted 50/50 Prestone antifreeze. I was lucky as the car had new brakes when I got the car and I had done the fronts as needed. I also put in four new Iridium tipped plugs as recommended by the manufacturer at 120,000 miles. I did the air filters as needed once or twice a year. I recently also bought four brand new Goodyear Eagle GSA tires and had them all high speed balanced. The car is pre owned and for its age I think it is in great shape. The interior has no tears, stains, and was always owned by pet and smoke free owners. It has normal wear that goes along with the age. I will list the condition I can best, but please look at the high resolution pictures to see the exact condition. The front nose (front air dam, bumper and hood) has the typical tiny love bug and tiny rock chips common with most cars. The rear bumper has marks from prior owners putting stuff in and out of the back incorrectly. The prior owner had a wheel lock break on one of the wheel lugs and it needed to be ground off. The outside of the wheel is fine, however inside where the lug nut goes was disturbed when the broken lock was removed. The owner bought four new Toyota lug nuts and decided the wheel locks were no longer needed after that time consuming incident. I agreed with that decision and continued to run it as he did. The driver's side rear passenger door jamb had two chips on the inside. The front windshield has a chip all the way on the passenger side (approximately three inches from the side rubber molding.) The interior rear seats near the door jamb, there is a small panel that has some marks. The Matrix is a great design as I have been able to fit so much in this compact car. The passenger seat folds perfectly flat as the back seats do. When the seats fold down they have a hard vinyl that protects the fabric and is easy to clean up after you get done moving something. People have always been amazed at how handy this car is. I have moved extremely bulky and long items in this car with no problem. You can even rent a trailer for $30 from you haul and it is already set up for it. I found I could get the fuel economy, reliability, and utility of a smaller car and avoid the larger expensive gas guzzler SUV's. If you are looking for a meticulously maintained car with a documented maintenance history this is the car for you. If you are looking to buy something that is perfect, that does not have any wear on it, you should consider buying a new car. This car is priced below book value and would be much more on any lot. Please ask any questions and if you would like more pictures before you bid so we can work out the logistics if you are not local. Thank you for looking, I have been on ebay since 2000 and have 100% feedback. Please read below before bidding: ITEM DESCRIPTIONS: Some of the items I sell are older, vintage, and almost always pre-owned. I do my absolute best to catch and mention any blemishes, defects, etc., but on occasion I don't catch everything. Please know this when bidding on older or used items. I do not mind taking extra pictures to email you or anything just to get us on the same page. SHIPPING: I will ship with three (3) business days of auction ending as the description states but often its within the second day. Please understand that most items can not be packaged until after auction end or sale as last minute photo requests or questions are frequent. I carefully package all items so that they arrive safely at your door. I will only ship to paypal verified addresses. I normally ship USPS however due to different situations (postal lines, location, etc) UPS is used at times. LOCAL PICK UP ITEMS: Local pick up items are available for pick up at the location listed in the auction. I have sold several items and always have had a great time meeting fellow eBay users. Several times people have wanted items listed for local pick up shipped to them. To accommodate this request I delivered the item to the local UPS store which the seller called in to make the shipping arraignments and payment. I do not mind doing this, however please let me know ahead of time so I can plan to accommodate this. I also do not mind not having a immediate paypal and accepting cash at the time of sale, as many buyers have preferred to do that. Whatever the buyer is comfortable with is fine with me. FEEDBACK: Customer satisfaction is my top priority. I aspire to give you five star services, if you do not get that please contact me ASAP So we can correct the problem before you leave feedback. I always leave feedback after the buyer does so I know the sale is complete and you are happy. Should any issue arise with your purchase, please contact me so that we can work things out. Feedback is very important to all of us, as it allows us to keep the bad apples out of eBay for both buyer and seller. Not only do I sell on eBay but I buy quite a bit, too. It seems a majority of bad feedback results from lack of communication. I ask that before you leave feedback you discuss your issue with me. There is always a common ground solution that can be reached. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I love my international buyers and most of my listings are available for purchase to worldwide customers. I do appreciate if you bid as an international buyer you send me a message before hand. This allows me to get an estimate on shipping and it shows me you are a real interested buyer. For whatever reason many new buyers without feedback are bidding on items that they never pay for. That will let me know your serious and will get me working out the details before the auction ends. If a listed item is not available internationally (usually due to weight), please contact me prior to bidding so that we can look at shipping costs and reach an agreement prior to purchase.

Toyota To Stop Building Cars In Australia
Tue, Feb 11 2014Toyota said Monday it will stop making cars in Australia by the end of 2017, spelling a final blow to auto manufacturing in the country, where car companies say high production costs and tough competition have crippled business conditions. Toyota's announcement, which will result in the loss of around 2,500 jobs, was widely anticipated, coming just two months after General Motors Co. said it would end production in Australia by 2017. Ford Motor Co. announced in May that it would cease Australian production in 2016. All told, some 6,600 manufacturing jobs will be lost between the three companies. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. stopped manufacturing in Australia in 2008. Toyota Motor Corp. said its decision was based on a combination of factors including the high Australian dollar, the high cost of manufacturing and competition. "We did everything that we could to transform our business," Toyota Australia CEO Max Yasuda said in a statement. "But the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia." Toyota President Akio Toyoda delivered the news to workers at the company's Altona plant near Melbourne, where he paid tribute to 50 years of Toyota cars being built in Australia. "To now have to deliver this news to the very people we have worked so hard with, to the many people who have supported our production for so many years, is most regretful for Toyota and, for me personally, simply heartbreaking," he said. Toyota, which has been manufacturing cars in Australia since 1963, currently makes the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Aurion in the country. It will become a sales company. Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane said Toyota had not asked the government for any financial assistance in the lead-up to its decision. The government had subsidized auto manufacturing, hoping to keep the industry alive as it supports tens of thousands of jobs in other areas including auto parts. Holden, which is the Australian arm of GM, received 1.8 billion Australian dollars ($1.6 billion) in federal government assistance in the past 11 years. Auto makers in Australia produced about 178,000 cars in 2012, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers.

Toyota nearing $1B settlement of unintended acceleration criminal probe
Sun, 09 Feb 2014According to those all-too-nebulous "people familiar with the matter," Toyota is close to a settlement with the US federal government to end a criminal probe over its long-running unintended acceleration fiasco. Though Toyota has never admitted guilt, the deal could reportedly crest a billion dollars and would likely include a criminal deferred prosecution agreement, and while we're not legal experts, The Wall Street Journal explains that such a deal would "[force Toyota] to accept responsibility while avoiding the potentially crippling consequences of federal criminal convictions."
The report from WSJ also suggests that Toyota is facing charges that it "made false or incomplete disclosures" to various government agencies regarding possible defects to its cars. Such charges may include mail and wire fraud violations. Toyota has already paid out fines totaling $66.2 million to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because it failed to report safety defects in a timely manner.
This deal with the federal government is not related to the billion-dollar class-action settlement reached with Toyota owners over falling vehicle values, and it's also different from the roughly 400 lawsuits still in courts alleging personal injury of wrongful death due to cases of unintended acceleration. In other words, don't expect to hear the end of such courtroom verdicts and settlements anytime soon...
Toyota and Lexus will have standard automatic braking by 2017
Sat, Mar 26 2016Last week, NHTSA and IIHS announced that 20 auto manufacturers and three agencies had agreed to include automatic emergency braking (AEB) as standard equipment by 2022. Toyota was one of those 20 companies, but this week they upped the AEB ante: Nearly every Toyota and Lexus model and trim level will have standard AEB by 2017. That's next year. Many models already offer AEB as part of the Lexus Safety System+ and Toyota Safety Sense packages, but consumers have had to pay extra for these options (unless they leased a Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle; it already has AEB as standard equipment.) By the end of next year, all but the Lexus GS, Toyota 4Runner and Toyota 86 — which was developed together with Subaru — will have AEB installed at no extra cost. (Interestingly, the new Prius Prime unveiled at the New York International Auto Show has Safety Sense as an option rather than standard equipment.) The AEB function is part of Toyota's safety suites, which will be included in 25 Lexus and Toyota models. Both makes have a precollision system that detects the possibility of collision with the car ahead and engages the brakes if the driver doesn't react quickly enough, as well as lane departure alerts and automatic high beams. Toyota's move leapfrogs ahead of Honda making its Honda Sensing system, which includes AEB tech, available as a flat $1,000 option on every Civic Sedan.
