I'm the second owner of this 2010 Toyota Prius.  It's in good condition with about 78,000 miles.  I bought it from the original owner (a doctor).  I've driven this on quite a few long trips.  It drives great, gets amazing gas mileage, and is EXTREMELY reliable.  I've never had an issue.  My local Toyota dealership did a free test on the battery and found it to be in excellent condition with minimal degradation.  They told they only replaced 2 batteries on the 3rd generation Prius.  Both batteries had more than 200,000 miles.

FEATURES:

Features include:  Gray leather seats, bluetooth, power windows/locks, upgraded JBL stereo system, cruise, XM satellite radio.  It has the push button start with smart key.  You can keep your key in your pocket or purse.  Awesome feature.

CONDITION:

It has wear and tear typical of a car of its age and mileage.  It has some dings, dents, and scratches.  It looks great though and still shines like a new car.  No accidents!  There is a small, repaired hole in the driver's seat base (caused by a small key attached to a belt loop).  OEM leather was placed between the hole and cushion.

CONFESSIONS FROM A FORMER PRIUS HATER:

I used to get stuck behind Priuses no matter where I went.  I used to curse the name. However, my wife and I rented one during a vacation and we loved it. So, I bought a used one to be my wife's car.  I'm now sold on the Prius. These are the reasons:

  • It's easy to drive.  Turning radius is significantly better than any car I've driven.  Steering is smooth and seamless.  It has ample power.  In power mode, it drives like a normal car.
  • It's fun to play with the hybrid system. You can play with the power and watch the mileage go up.  If you are in heavy traffic, switch to EV mode.  While everyone is frustrated over the traffic and idling car, this car is operating off of its self-generated electrical power.  The regenerative brakes reduce wear and tear on your brake pads while charging the battery. 
  • It's well made.  I'm a Honda fan and unfortunately, this Toyota's fit and finish has Honda beat.  The interior screams quality.  Exterior sheet metal is light, but the car feels solid.
  • It's very roomy.  Back seats fold flat.  Cargo area is almost the same as a small SUV.  If you want to throw a lawn mower in there, you can.  If you're going on a weekend trip, it holds a ton of suitcases even with one of the rear seats up.
  • Cost of ownership is unbelievably low.  Suppose your driving a 15 MPG SUV and you drive 20 miles each way to work.  It costs you about $10/day for gasoline.  With the Prius, that commute now costs $2.50/day.  This car saves $45/week - $195/month - $2300/year.  I've ranged between 50-65 MPG in mixed driving.  It's actually quite hard to get lower than 50 MPG.  Depreciation is less than $1,000/year.

PAYMENT:

Payment is via certified check or cash only.  I have the title clear in my name.  The price is very good.  It is LESS than dealer auction prices!  You can probably find one with a lower price, but buyer beware - be very cautious of the prior rental Priuses and those with salvage or rebuilt titles.

Ford F-150 could be affected by tornado-damaged supplier in S.C.

Wed, Apr 22 2020

The disruption caused by a tornado that severely damaged a South Carolina auto-parts plant and killed a contract security guard last week could be felt by more automakers than just Ford and affect more than just its best-selling F-Series pickup, which is due for an update. And there’s still no estimate for when operations might resume at the plant. The Detroit Free Press reports that the BorgWarner plant in Seneca, near Greenville, makes transfer cases for F-150 and Super Duty pickups, the Ford Explorer and Expedition, Transit cargo vans, and Lincoln Navigator and Aviator SUVs. ItÂ’s also a supplier for the Ram 1500 and Toyota Tundra trucks. Transfer cases shift power from the transmission to the front and rear axles in four-wheel-drive vehicles. BorgWarner says it still has no update for when it might partially or fully resume operations. The tornado that ripped through the area in the western part of the state on April 13 tore the roof, walls and signage off the factory and killed a 77-year-old contract worker when the security building he was sheltering in collapsed. Only four or five others were inside the plant, which has been idled because of the coronavirus outbreak, when the tornado struck. In an SEC filing on Friday, Ford said it has sent employees to the site to help BorgWarner and assess the damage to FordÂ’s tooling. “Initial assessments indicate that the Ford tooling was not materially damaged in this incident,” Ford said in the filing. “We do not have sufficient information to estimate when the facility will be back on-line or whether or the extent to which this incident will impact our plans to resume production of four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.” A Fiat Chrysler spokeswoman also told the Freep the company was working with BorgWarner on recovery plans. A Toyota spokesman told Autoblog that "we are collaborating with BorgWarner to help restore production for transfer cases for Tundra assembly. We are confident that theyÂ’ll fully recover over time." Like other automakers, Ford shut down production at its U.S. plants last month as a precaution against the coronavirus pandemic. But Ford hasnÂ’t yet said when it plans to reopen its factories. FCA is targeting May 4 to resume production. Models like the F-150 and Lincoln Navigator are major sources of profit for Ford, which estimated it lost $2 billion in the first quarter.

Toyota confirms all-wheel drive V8 hybrid for TS040 LMP1 car in 2014

Sun, 02 Feb 2014

The 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship is gearing up to be one of the most exciting seasons of endurance racing in recent memory. All of the factory-entered LMP1 class cars are using hybrid powertrains, and Porsche is returning to the top class of the sport after a 16-year absence. Don't count out Toyota, though. The team has just revealed the first official details about its 2014 TS040 LMP1 car, and it has a big surprise - all-wheel drive.
The TS040 will follow Audi's lead and will use a combination motor and generator to power the front wheels. The system will generate power under braking and will use it up when accelerating to give a boost in traction over last year's rear-wheel-drive Toyota TS030. Toyota will stick with a gasoline-fueled, naturally aspirated 3.4-liter V8 to feed the rear wheels and will take on Audi's diesel, turbocharged 3.7-liter V6 and Porsche's gasoline-fueled, turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
Sadly, there are no real pictures of the TS040 yet. Toyota is holding off on unveiling the car until the end of March at the WEC test at the Paul Ricard circuit, and the racing season doesn't begin until April 20 with the 6 Hours of Silverstone. You can read the whole press release about the TS040 below.

Mazda-Toyota partnership has us dreaming of a rotary hybrid

Mon, Aug 7 2017

As you may have seen, Mazda and Toyota are going to be working a little more closely with each other. In their announcement, the two companies said they'd be building an American assembly plant together, and working on electric vehicle technology. But one of the companies' goals got our mental gears turning: It's listed as "Expand complementary products," and it's left very open-ended. The companies say they "will further explore the possibilities of other complementary products on a global level." These are in addition to Mazda providing the Mazda2 to Toyota as the Yaris iA, and Toyota providing Mazda a commercial van to sell in Japan. So what could these future complementary products be? We have a couple of ideas, one that's ludicrous but awesome (and, sadly, probably won't ever happen), and the other grounded in reality. Let's start with the fun one. What's the one thing Mazda fan has been wanting for years? A rotary sports car, of course! And while Mazda has repeatedly said that it has a small band of engineers plugging away at the spinning triangle problem, the odds of Mazda putting it into production have been slim. The inherent thirst of the rotary would make it tough to introduce when fuel economy regulations have been tightening. Plus, Mazda is a small company that needs to stretch every dollar, and having a one-off engine not based on anything else would be expensive. How could Mazda get around these obstacles? This is where the partnership with Toyota comes in, in our long-shot fantasy. Aside from having deep pockets, Toyota has a wealth of knowledge in the realm of hybrids. Thus, why not a rotary hybrid? Electrifying their oddball motor would fix two issues. One is obviously the fuel economy, since the gas engine wouldn't have to run all the time. The other is in providing torque. Rotaries infamously have little torque, especially down low, so adding an electric motor would allow this hypothetical rotary sports car to have a grunty low end, while still providing the Everest-high redline rotary fans like. The idea would be sweetened with the solid-state batteries that Toyota is developing, which could provide lots of electricity without weighing a ton. The rotary-electric mashup notion isn't totally alien to Mazda, either, since the company created an electric Mazda2 with a rotary engine for a range extender — albeit for different reasons. The company even filed a patent for the rotary range extender recently.
