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.

Lower gas prices mean there are excellent deals on green cars right now
Sat, Jan 17 2015The phenomenon was big enough to make news in 2006, then in 2008, in 2011, in 2012, in 2013, and again last year: a big move in gas prices means a big move in alternative-fuel-vehicle sales. True Car's TrueSavings report, which averages transaction prices across the country to figure out what people are paying compared to MSRP, shows that electric cars and hybrids are ripe for excellent savings right now. The Ford Focus Electric presents the greatest disparity, with the average transaction price of $25,168 representing a 16.1-percent saving off its $29,995 MSRP. The Kia Optima Hybrid and Toyota Prius also snagged spots in the top five, with the Kia offering a 10.7-percent discount and the Toyota a 10.1-percent discount. One hybrid managed to show up among the top five lease offers, too: the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is just $315 a month for 36 months after $3,875 down in some markets. Alt-energy vehicles got bumped out of the top five finance deals, however. That was dominated by light trucks and, oddly, two subcompacts. The press release below has more details. TrueCar finds hybrids, EVs top list of best savings in January Gasoline price plunge = savings for consumers on alternative fuel vehicles SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford's Focus Electric hatchback, which sells at an average of 16 percent off MSRP, tops January's list of best savings on new vehicles, according to TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform. The "TrueSavings" monthly report analyzes current transaction prices and identifies opportunities for consumer savings. "Fuel savings are not top of mind to many consumers right now, and that makes this a great time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle," said John Krafcik, president of TrueCar. "With gasoline prices now averaging just $2.10 per gallon, and vehicle preferences tied so closely to short-term gasoline prices, automakers are heavily discounting their most fuel-efficient cars to clear inventories." Toyota's Prius, the world's best-selling alternative fuel vehicle for more than a decade, also makes January's list of best savings. Customers who purchase a Prius Two model this month can save 10 percent off the hybrid car's $25,025 MSRP. "Gasoline prices and vehicle type preferences are strongly related, and this relationship is cyclical in nature," said Krafcik.
Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
Who sold the most small/midsize pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates that, too
Wed, 27 Feb 2013PickupTrucks.com has taken another look at the sales of its favorite vehicle bodystyle as part of an ongoing series. According to registration data from R.L. Polk, the Toyota Tacoma easily took the crown as America's best-selling mid-sized pickup, with 133,477 units rolling into new homes in 2012. For comparison, the second-place Nissan Frontier only saw 50,566 registrations.
We feel compelled to point out that before Ford pulled the plug on its ancient Ranger, the company was moving some 75,000 units per year. That number had shriveled to 15,662 by 2012, which was still enough to surpass the Honda Ridgeline. Interestingly enough, one person brought home a brand-new Hummer H3T as well. But mid-sized trucks represent only a fraction of total pickup sales. Dealers sold a total of 241,471 midsizers last year compared to 988,326 half-tons.
That segment was dominated by General Motors with 533,814 sales followed by Ford at 478,204. Ram Trucks trailed behind in third with 241,204 units with Toyota close behind at 229,769. Nissan, meanwhile, remains a distant fifth. Head over to PickupTrucks.com for a closer look at the breakdown in each segment.
