2005 Toyota Prius Base Hatchback 4-door 1.5l Gold +17 Cu Ft Roof System on 2040-cars
Sedona, Arizona, United States
Hi guys,
I am selling my own personal 2005 Toyota Prius, which I bought from the original owner on June 9th, 2011. So I am the 2nd owner. I bought it with 88,657 miles. I am selling it with 140,141 miles. This car is in perfect operating condition, with clean title. To the best of my knowledge, it has never been in an accident. I am starting this auction with $1.00 and no reserve. Highest bidder gets the car, regardless of price. The only reason I am selling this car is because we are going to Hawaii, and then will possibly be leaving the US for a while. If it wasn't due to this traveling, I would not be selling this car. I read some Toyota Prius forums, and there are quite a few people that have been driving earlier Prius models with more than 250,000 miles on them. One guy had 305,000 miles. Apparently, the odometer stopped at 299,999 miles, and the Toyota fixed it for free, under the warranty. I have been treating this car very well, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it will go to 300,000 miles+ with all original parts. The original owner sold me this car with no problems, except one set of 3 dead buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. These are convenience buttons. All of these functions can be controlled through the Navigation Screen. He told me that the Toyota dealership estimated the repair of these buttons to be at $350. I never cared to fix them. See picture of steering wheel with these 3 buttons. In addition to that, apparently while I was away, one of my kids hit the navigation screen with a butt of a stick. I never saw it happen, but at one point in time, I saw a circular crack on the navigation screen, about 2 inches wide. Luckily all the buttons, except one, continue to work, although some air conditioner level buttons that are inside of the crack need a little bit harder pressing, and for some you need to press a bit off center, in order for them to press. The only button that is not pressable is the display "Language" button. You only need this button, if you want to change the display language from English to Spanish, or French, or some other language. If you are satisfied with your display to be in English, you'll never need to use this button. I attempted to display this crack on one of the pictures below. I don't believe you will ever need to change the navigation screen, because it's fully functional, except for the display language switch. But if you do decide to change it, the part number for it is 86110-47071. If you search for it on Ebay, you'll see them selling for around $250. That's used. I see no reason why you would need new one. To switch it would probably cost around $200 in mechanic's labor. Because this car has been used for about 7 years, it obviously has some minor scratches on the outside, and some wear on the inside. The two things mentioned above and normal wear are the only problems I know of with the vehicle. This vehicle was serviced in Toyota Santa Barbara on September 30th, 2013. They did not recommend any repairs. Currently, this vehicle is in Sedona, AZ. After I bought the vehicle, I changed the CD player. The original Toyota CD player did not have AUX port in it, so I bought nice CD player with AUX port, so that I could listen to my Ipod in the car. I also put in brand new battery (not hybrid battery, but the one for starting the car), but that's normal. They usually last about 6-7 years. You won't need to change one again until about 2018-2019. The car has about half-worn firestone tires. You won't need to change those for a while. The hybrid battery is as strong as when I bought it. If you drive it about 55 mph on flat surface, you get about 55 mpg. Highway at 80 miles per hour, you get about 42 mpg. City, you get more than 60 mpg. Here in Sedona, AZ, which has many hills, we normally get about 45-47 mpg. We have tickets to Hawaii for November 1st, this auction will end on October 25th. If you win it, I would really want you to pick it up right away, so hopefully on October 26th or 27th. Please don't bargain with me. I've described the car very well. Please pay exact bid amount when you pick it up. I prefer to receive $500 commitment deposit via paypal within 24 hours of you winning this auction. The car includes Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Base Rack System, for which I paid $247.50+$100 installation about 6 months ago. It also includes 17 cubic feet Thule Tahoe Roof Bag that goes on top of the racks. I bought this bag from REI about 6-months ago for about $230, including sales tax. If you travel with luggage, this is the BEST system for the Prius. This Thule bag fits a lot more than the hard shell bags you see. I did a lot of research before buying this system, and in terms of maximum capacity, this is the best set up. We even put our tent and a bunch of sleeping bags between the bottom of this Thule Bag, and the roof of the car. With this roof set up, you basically have two trunks, which is GREAT for traveling, especially if you have 2 or 3 people sitting in the back. I think I've said it all, if you have any questions, please ask... |

PSA: Toyota wants to save your life, needs an hour of your time
Thu, Nov 9 2017Toyota wrote Autoblog to ask if we could spread the word about the Takata airbag inflator recall. Defective inflators remain installed in tens of millions of cars made by 19 carmakers, with manufacture dates that go back to the year 2000. Each inflator compounds the risk of serious injury or death in an airbag-activating crash. With a new ad campaign called "in about an hour," Toyota wants to make sure that unaware owners, or overly busy owners, know they can get their Toyota, Lexus, and Scion vehicles repaired free of charge in about the time it takes to do a load of laundry. The campaign focuses on cities in three so-called Zone A states where hot, humid climates worsen the threat of the ruptured inflators: Los Angeles, Dallas, and Miami. However, every owner everywhere who cares about his life, or his child's life, should at least check to see if his car is affected. All it takes is a quick VIN entry at the dedicated recall site at Toyota.com/Recall. The results will let you know if your car is affected and, if so, locate a local dealer for the free fix. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration said the Takata affair has become "the largest and most complex safety recall in U.S. history." The numbers so far suggest the recall covers more than 42 million vehicles and more than 60 million airbags. Autoweek keeps an updated list of Takata information, including every make and model on the recall list. Consumer Reports published a list of frequently asked questions covering issues directly related and tangential to the recall. The 19 automakers maintain pages dedicated to the issue; Fiat Chrysler lists every relevant model and how it prioritizes repairs by Zone, Honda says it offers a free rental car while owner cars are repaired, Daimler vans says its fix only takes about an hour. And of course NHTSA serves all owners with its own VIN lookup site. We encourage you to check your vehicle — the life you save could be your own. Related Video:
Toyota preparing Scion-badged Nissan Juke fighter
Thu, Aug 20 2015As we've said on multiple occasions, the sub-compact crossover market is The Next Big Thing™. With that in mind, Toyota's lack of a competitor to the new breed of super-small, super-cute crossovers like the Nissan Juke, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and Jeep Renegade has been especially glaring. But as these photos show, the hole in the Japanese giant's lineup could soon be filled. Our spies captured this heavily disguised prototype testing in the deserts of the American southwest, signaling that Toyota is preparing to wade into the Nissan Juke's space by offering a tiny, but very heavily styled crossover of its own. Our spy photographers call the cute ute's look "aggressive," citing inspiration from the Toyota C-HR concept from the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Based on the meaty wheels and tires and what we can see through the camo, we're inclined to agree with their assessment. Underneath that sheet metal, we're told the new car rides on Toyota's new NGA platform. Like the Juke, a four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission will be on offer, although there's no telling whether Toyota will follow its rival's enthusiast beat and offer a six-speed manual version. What we find most interesting about all of this conjecture, though, is what it means for Scion, rather than its parent. Introducing a small crossover is the next logical step for Toyota's troubled sub-brand, and would serve as a delectable followup to the recently released iA sedan and iM hatch. Such a three-model lineup, when combined with the enthusiast-oriented FR-S, would transform Scion into a force to be reckoned with in the entry level space. Supporting this conjecture isn't too hard, either. As the spy photos show, this camo'd tester is being supported by a xB, the closest thing Scion (or its parent company, for that matter) have to a sub-compact CUV. It's unclear just when this new model will make its debut, but if Toyota hopes to make inroads into this popular new segment, this CUV will need to arrive before its extremely competent rivals can establish a solid foothold.
