Fountain Hills, Arizona, United States

My wife call this "we have too many toys - sale!"  On my bucket list has always been a 2 door Rav 4, which I see when we travel to St Barts and thought if I could find an original low mile one, maybe we could tow it behind our motorhome! I collect small cars and found this one recently in Reno Nevada.
We went there and drove it home, and checked it off my bucket list! It runs and drives as it should, but my days of driving a manual trans car for very long are over with bad knees and bad shoulders!
It would be perfect for towing behind an RV.
It it has a manual trans, 4 wheel drive, has Air Conditioning, Power Steering and brakes. Factory radio.
This car has 65891 miles, which I believe to be correct and car fax also documents thru its history. No interior wear or pedal pad wear at all. Paint is all original and in average condition with the exception of the rear swing out door has been replaced with a used one a long time ago and the rear sill showing signs of repair. Car fax does not show any damage as the owner probably took care of it himself. Original decals on the sides of the Rav are in good shape as well.  No rust and the undercarriage is very clean due to it living in the Reno area most of its life until I brought it to Arizona. The paint on the roof is getting a little thin in a few spots where yo can see a shadow from the factory black primer showing thru.  I put new tires on it before driving it home and had the oil changed as it was due according to the sticker on the windshield.
There are no service records at all on the Rav but it looks like it was taken care of really well. It was the cleanest low mile one I could find and was looking for a very long time.
Inspections are welcome and encouraged. 
Thanks, Glenn
PS, I added a photo from CarFax page showing more detail on the miles than AutoCheck shows for some reason.

Toyota sells 3-millionth Prius

Sun, 07 Jul 2013

Three generations in sixteen years and more than three million units sold worldwide - as of the end of June, those are the stats on the Toyota Prius. Even though Toyota says Prius sales might not reach the goal of 250,000 units this year, the little hybrid that could still doesn't have any problem flying off dealer lots. The second-generation Prius sold 1.2 million examples in its eight-year lifespan, and the third generation, introduced in 2009, has sold 1.7 million examples in just four years.
Toyota is also touting its investment in future powertrains, some 790 billion yen ($7.9 billion US) on research and development into new platforms and components, and "environmental technology development."
The press release below has more details, the future undoubtedly has more Priuses Prii in it.

Toyota sold a million hybrids in last nine months, 6M since 1997

Wed, Jan 15 2014

Toyota's first hybrid model – the Prius – went on sale in 1997 in Japan. It took 14 years for the company to see a cumulative total of three million hybrids (a mark reached in March 2011). Today, Toyota announced that its global sales figures of all of its gas-electric models (and there are a lot of them now, including ones we've barely heard of here in the US, like the Crown Majesta or the Harrier Hybrid) have reached six million. Toyota calculates that all those hybrids have saved 41 million tons of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere. Toyota's ever-increasing hybrid sales pace means the company sold as many in the last three years as it did in the first fourteen. As you can see in our chart, the trendline shows that we'll hit the next-million mark in short order. In fact, Toyota says that it sold a million hybrids in the last nine months, the shortest time it has ever taken the automaker to sell that many hybrids. Part of the reason is that there are 24 hybrid Toyota and Lexus models available around the world, and Toyota says another 15 will be coming in the next two years. Anyone want to guess when Toyota will hit seven million? August? Worldwide Sales of Toyota Hybrids Top 6 Million Units Toyota City, Japan, January 15, 2014-Toyota Motor Corporation announces that cumulative global sales of its hybrid vehicles topped the 6 million unit mark as of December 31, 2013, reaching 6.072 million units1. The latest million-unit milestone was achieved in the fastest time yet for Toyota, taking just nine months. Helping mitigate the environmental effects of vehicles is a priority at Toyota. Based on its belief that environment-friendly vehicles can only truly have a positive impact if they are widely used, Toyota has endeavored to encourage the mass-market adoption of hybrid vehicles. As of this month, Toyota sells 24 hybrid passenger car models and one plug-in hybrid model in approximately 80 countries and regions around the world. Furthermore, within the next two years, Toyota will launch a total of 15 new hybrid vehicles worldwide, including the new "Harrier Hybrid" in Japan on January 15 and the new "Highlander Hybrid" in the United States in the near future. Toyota will continue augmenting its product lineup even further and increasing the number of countries and regions where it sells hybrid vehicles.

Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas

Fri, 02 May 2014

Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."
