2001 Toyota Sienna Xle, Cruise, Rear Air, Sunroof, Cd, No Reserve!! L@@k! on 2040-cars
Colby, Kansas, United States
|
You are looking at a 2001 Toyota Sienna that has served a growing family very well. It has the same Toyota 3.0 liter V6 engine as in the Toyota Avalon and in the V6 Camry. In the last 2 weeks I've had the brakes serviced and the engine tuned up. There are 2400 miles before its next oil change is due. One of the tires is brand new, and the other three have about 10000 miles of wear left on them.
The bodywork has minor dings and scuffs, as can be expected with a 2001, and the interior has some minor stains on the floor mats. The glass is in good condition with a few small pits, and I haven't been able to find any rust. This car has averaged 17 mpg in town and 24 mpg on the highway, making about 21 mpg combined driving. If we're driving in calm winds, we've gotten up to 27 mpg on the highway. The air conditioner blows cold and the cruise control, sunroof, front power windows, locks and mirrors all work as they should. The rear windows for venting in the back do not work. The sound system sounds great and it plays CDs or cassette tapes. We hope it will serve its new family well, and it would work great as a safe school car or for a small family. This is NO RESERVE auction, so here is a great opportunity to get a good van for a low price! Kelley Blue Book lists this van's value at $4213 in its current condition, but these vans have been selling on eBay for lower prices. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions about the van's condition. Good luck and happy bidding! |

Toyota R&D shows off free piston engine linear generator for future EVs
Thu, May 1 2014We often hear how an electric vehicle powertrain architecture allows vehicle designers much more freedom than a traditional ICE powertrain does. With differently shaped battery modules and small electric motors, there are lots of way to put the pieces together. With today's plug-in hybrid technology, engineers still need to put a decent-sized ICE somewhere, but new technology from Toyota could free up the gas-electric vehicle designers of the future. Presented at the recent SAE World Congress in Detroit, the idea from Toyota Central R&D Labs Inc. and involves what is called a Free Piston Engine Linear Generator (FPEG). Think of it as a sort of one-cylinder, two-stroke mini-engine that can work either as a generator (thank to magnets and a linear coil) or to directly drive a vehicle. The current prototype is a 10-kW unit that Toyota say would provide enough power to get a B- or C-segment electric vehicle up to highway speeds (75 miles per hour) when paired up to offer 20 kW. Pairing the FPEGs is also important to minimize vibrations. One system tested by Toyota had a 42 percent thermal efficiency, but the engineers are working to improve the overall efficiency even further. You can watch an animated video of the piston in action here (click on "Outline") and see the SAE papers here and here. More technical details are available at Green Car Congress.

Tesla now California's top automotive employer
Fri, 16 May 2014Tesla has knocked off Toyota as the biggest auto employer in the state of California, employing over 6,000 people to the Japanese company's 5,300. That lead is only likely to grow, as the EV manufacturer prepares to add another 500 jobs by the end of the year, and as Toyota begins its relocation to its new North American headquarters in Texas. The news comes barely a week after the company announced a $50 million loss during the first quarter of 2014.
Tesla's statewide employment could be set to double, beyond even 6,500 people, if it follows through on rumors to construct its eagerly awaited gigafactory in the Golden State. The $5-billion venture could add another 6,500 employees, making Tesla not just the largest automotive employer in the state, but making it one of the largest employers in the state full stop.
The investment of Tesla and its founder (and real-life Tony Stark), Elon Musk, has been substantial. The company has added 3,000 employees in the state since 2013, reopening the Toyota and General Motors joint-venture factory that use to be known as NUMMI in 2009 and constructing a design studio in Los Angeles, all in addition to its Palo Alto headquarters.
Toyota to buck engine downsizing trend, may go larger and turbo-free
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Turbocharging isn't really Toyota's specialty, and the Japanese automaker isn't being shy about acknowledging it. Koei Saga, a senior managing officer in charge of drivetrain research and development, says that eschewing turbos and increasing displacement of engines using the Atkinson cycle can produce better power gains without sacrificing fuel economy, Automotive News reports.
Toyota is investing heavily in larger-displacement Atkinson-cycle engines in addition to turbocharged engines, but Saga doesn't think the automaker will use turbocharging across many product lines. He apparently remains unconvinced that the technology "makes the world better."
In Toyota's eyes then, Atkinson cycle engines do make the world better, and here's how. Their pistons complete four processes - intake, compression, power and exhaust - in one revolution of the crankshaft, and the power stroke is longer than the compression stroke. Traditional Otto cycle engines require two crankshaft revolutions to accomplish those same four operations and have equal-length compression and power strokes. Atkinson cycle engines are more efficient, but less power dense, though increasing displacement can offset that shortfall.
