2003 Toyota Matrix XRS. 6 speed manual transmission. The first owner was my father, I am the second owner, you are the third. Sweet sliding and tilting sun roof works perfectly and does not leak. The cool cargo nets and cargo straps that only came with this model (I think) are present and will be included for an extra $5,000. -I'm joking, of course. They are included...for free...really. The tires are somewhat new (maybe a year?). I got a new clutch in July. Since the clutch, I've MAYBE put 700 miles on it. Both front brake rotors are new (also in July). I've always had generic plastic floor mats covering the stock Matrix floor mats, so those puppies are in rather decent shape for being 10 years old. The car is presently dirty. It's getting to be cold here, and I have not taken it to a car wash, yet. Don't let the little bit of dirt in the pictures scare you off.
It can be quick when you need it to be so. When you find a transmission to throw in this baby, you're gonna have a fun and solid car for another 155,000 miles. This engine is strong. I LOVE this car. I planned on driving it till my kid becomes old enough to drive, but I had to get a pick-up truck for work. So this must go. The gas mileage is anywhere from 30 to 35 miles a gallon. Man am I gonna miss THAT. This car is NOT all wheel drive, in case that's what you're looking for. There is a small ding on the passenger side front quarter panel from a misplayed baseball. I don't think this car has ever been in an accident. There is what looks like a cigarette burn hole in the front passenger seat, but my father swore it was NOT from a cigarette...in fact he could not tell me what it was from when I bought it from him, but in the 9 years since that hole magically appeared, it has not grown. The plastic on the inside of the back hatch is cracked - I think there's even a small hole in it, actually. A fog lamp is out. The headlights need to be "cleared", if you know what I mean. -They have that haze, is all. The exhaust leak is annoying. The parking brake that does not work is also annoying. That panel on the inside driver's side door that contains all the power window and power lock controls is loose...that's kind of annoying, too. One or two lines in the rear window defroster are dead. Sometimes a few of the lights on the radio face go dim. The front ground-effect-spoiler-thing snapped off when I hit some debris on the freeway a few years ago. The car certainly lost some of it's good looks when that happened, but I could never justify getting it replaced as I am not made of money. All the cool amenities like the multiple power outlets, the little compartments to hide crap, the fold away drink holders, etc...are all intact. I'm telling you...this car is awesome. All the little annoying things are to be expected from a 10 year old car; and I don't believe they take the value down much. The lame transmission, however, is a different story. I THINK a new used tranny, installed, will run you between $1200 and $1800. My goal is not to screw you, here. I've listed about everything wrong that I can think of. I truly believe this car has only lived half its life. A new transmission and you're golden for another 10 years. Hit me with questions or if you want other pictures, I can certainly email them to you. |

Toyota's future fuel cell vehicle lineup revealed?
Wed, Aug 26 2015Being 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:
Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007
Sat, 21 Sep 2013Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.
Fernando Alonso reportedly will race for Toyota at Le Mans
Sat, Nov 11 2017When it was recently announced that Fernando Alonso would race in the 24 Hours of Daytona in January, it was described as a warm-up for an eventual attempt to win Le Mans. "Eventual" may come pretty fast: It now looks like the Formula One champion will race in the Le Mans 24 Hours next season as well. Or so reports BBC Sport, which says he'll race for Toyota. But wait, there's more: The BBC also says he's in talks with Toyota to drive most of the entire World Endurance Championship — while keeping his day job driving for McLaren in F1. "Le Mans is agreed," a source close to Toyota told the BBC. "The rest of the season is still being negotiated, but it looks like he will do most of the races." BBC's sources say Alonso will drive a Toyota WEC car in the season's last race, in Bahrain on Nov. 19, to get his feet wet. The season's final Formula One race is the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Nov. 26. Neither Alonso nor Toyota would confirm an impending deal. Alonso said at practice for this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix: "So far, nothing to comment. We will see. Just rumors." What's motivating him is this: He's 36 years old and is intent on becoming only the second driver, after Briton Graham Hill, to win motorsport's Triple Crown. That entails winning the Formula One title (or just the Monaco Grand Prix according to one interpretation) as well as Indianapolis and Le Mans. He has won Monaco as well as the 2004 and 2005 world titles. He recently signed a contract extension keeping him at McLaren in 2018. As for the Indy piece of the Triple Crown, Alonso famously raced there this year and was running competitively when his Honda engine failed in the closing stages of the race. So expect to see him there again as well. Racing with Toyota at Le Mans and other endurance races should give him better luck than he had this season with McLaren-Honda in F1 and at Indy. Though Toyota has never won Le Mans, it is known to be developing a new WEC car. Traveling the globe to race in both the WEC and F1 in the same season sounds grueling, but it might be possible. The circuits have provisional schedules, and there's just one conflict — the U.S. Grand Prix and a WEC race in Japan are both penciled in for Oct. 21. But McLaren sounds none too keen on him doing the whole WEC schedule. McLaren racing director Eric Boullier told the BBC: "He has said he is keen to do some races outside. There is a case-by-case discussion. His main and first focus is F1, so that has to be the priority.
