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.

Heavily updated 2015 Toyota Camry to bow in New York

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Looks like the new, "more emotional" Toyota Camry designer Kevin Hunter talked about back in January is going to arrive very soon, with news that Toyota's bread-and-butter sedan will be getting an update in just a few weeks time at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
"On April 16 at the New York International Auto Show, we will make an important announcement about America's best-selling car, the Toyota Camry," said Curt McAllister, Toyota product news manager, in an emailed statement. Considering the high-profile nature of the NYAS - not to mention the competition that will be shown there - it makes sense that Toyota would choose to unveil something as significant as a major refresh at the Javits Center.
We wish we had more to tell you than this, but unfortunately, that's about all we've got to go on at this time. Of course, we'll have much more for you during the lead up to NYAS, including any leaks of the refreshed Camry. Stay tuned.

Toyota to end Australian production by 2017

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

There is more bad news for the Australian auto industry today, as Toyota has just announced that it will follow General Motors and Ford in shuttering its manufacturing operations on the continent. Production and assembly will cease by the end of 2017, but Toyota will remain in Australia as a sales and distribution company.
"We did everything that we could to transform our business, but the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia," said Toyota Australia President and CEO Max Yasuda.
In an official statement, Yasuda said that the closure would directly affect 2,500 manufacturing employees and an unknown number of corporate workers. However, a report in the Australian newspaper The Age suggests that the jobs of 24,000 workers at Australian auto suppliers could also be in jeopardy. Toyota currently builds its Camry, Camry Hybrid, Aurion sedans in Australia, along with four-cylinder engines, and it plans to begin importing the Camry and Aurion after production stops.

Gazoo heads to the N"urburgring with Lexus LFA Code X

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

You'd be forgiven for thinking just because the Lexus LFA has ended its production run (it's been over a year now) that Toyota would have ceased its development. You'd be forgiven, but Gazoo Racing is here to tell you you'd still be wrong.
One of Toyota's many works racing teams, Gazoo is returning to the 24-hour endurance race at the Nürburgring this year with a trio of entries. One is based on the Toyota GT86 (which we know as the Scion FR-S), and one is essentially the same LFA that it's entered in years past. But the third vehicle is dubbed Code X.
It's also based on the LFA, but its 4.8-liter V10 engine has been bored out to 5.3 liters, raising its output to untold levels. It's got a full carbon-fiber chassis and a range of other enhancements that Gazoo isn't telling us about just yet, but they should turn the LFA Code X from a road-going supercar beyond a racecar and into a rolling research lab. Considering that Gazoo has been racing at the 'Ring since 2007 and fielding versions of the LFA there since 2008, it'll be interesting to see how the Code X version fares.
