endgame

Here we have a 1994 Toyota Tercel DX for sale.

The car has 117k miles and we bought it in 2010. It has a 1.5liter 4-cylinder engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The car was donated to charity and we bought it at an auction. I don't know the exact history of this car, only know that its previous owner purchased it from a Honda dealership with 55k miles in 2006 for 5700 dollars (found the invoice in glove compartment).

The good:
The vehicle's condition can be described as very nice over all, the paint is nice and appears to be original, I don't see any signs of repairs on body panels. This vehicle is a very nice example of a southern car, very nice undercarriage, suspension/drivetrain components, no rust/oxidation. The transmission is tight and the clutch is good. The interior is very solid, showing little signs of wear. For it's age this little car is in very good condition.

The bad:
The car runs and drives but there is a leaking intake valve on one cylinder, therefore it's running rough. I have put some effort into diagnosing this problem and in the process replaced the spark plugs, ignition wires and distributor rotor in order to eliminate the electrical side of the problem. After that I have bought a remanufactured cylinder head. That was in 2010. I have spent the last 3 and 1/2 years abroad and during that time the car was parked in the garage. Unfortunately I don't have time to do the repair now, so that's why the car is offered up for sale. The replacement cylinder head is included. The car can be driven as it is now but the engine is a bit low on power which is understandable. The car starts right up, it does not smoke, it does not overheat. Everything else on the car works as it should and this little Toyota can again be a reliable, small and efficient vehicle for many years to come.

If you are at least a bit mechanically inclined you can even do the repair on your own, it's not that difficult. You can even follow step by step how it's supposed to be done.

I will consider all reasonable offers.

Terms and Conditions:
The vehicle is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS. I will not ship/deliver. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping. Any shipping must be arranged and paid for by the buyer. Full payment required within 7 days after end of listing. I accept cash in person when picking up the car or bank wire transfer.

Toyota Matrix discontinued for 2014

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Between its slow sales and the upcoming redesign of the closely related Corolla sedan, things haven't been looking good for the Toyota Matrix (for some time now). After 10 years on the market, Toyota has officially announced that it will drop the Matrix from its US lineup following the 2013 model year.
The announcement was made as a part of a press release breaking down what's new for Toyota in 2014, but for now, it doesn't look like any Toyota-branded product will fill the Matrix's spot. The Matrix and its sister car, the defunct Pontiac Vibe, were the final vehicles developed under the joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, an arrangement launched back to 1984.

Autoblog Minute: UAW and FCA avoid strike, Clarkson teases new show

Fri, Oct 9 2015

FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. A UAW strike of FCA was avoided thanks to a zero-hour tentative agreement reached this week. Worker concerns that were renegotiated in the new [00:00:30] deal include adjustments to the two-tier wage scale, health care costs, and production outsourcing. Now check-in with Autoblog as we update our reports on this evolving story. Shooting began on Amazon Prime's new automotive show starring the former Top Gear crew. That's Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Now Clarkson threw out a tweet from day one of filming on location at Algarve Motor Park in Portugal. The picture features the show's [00:01:00] three stars and crew posing with the holy trinity of hyper cars. That's a McLaren P1, a Ferrari LaFerrari, and a Porsche 918 Spyder. This Prime show is being called Gear Knobs though the name is unofficial. Now if a tweet is any indication of what we can expect, who cares what it's called this is gonna be awesome. (Eds Note: Clarkson tweeted Friday that the show will not be called Gear Knobs.) Toyota predicts drivers could be obsolete on highways as early as 2020, with technology dubbed the Toyota Highway Teammate or THT. Toyota is using a modified [00:01:30] Lexus GS to show what this is capable of. THT is already able to create a driverless freeway car that's capable of changing lanes, making passes and taking curves. Plus, it can keep safe distances from other vehicles. Toyota is currently testing this on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. And I'll have some added insight on the BMW M4 GTS. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. [00:02:00] Show Logo Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

The path to become a racing driver is a difficult one. It requires starting early, with karts, and then building up through the years and if you're really, really good (and really, really lucky), a team will notice you and sign you up. Or, you know, you could just become really good at Gran Turismo, and beat out other like-minded fanatics for a seat in the GT Academy.
The racing school, which culls its students from the ranks of Gran Turismo players has already pumped out successful racers, most notably, Lucas Ordoñez, who has a second and third-place finish under his belt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2014 GT Academy kicking off April 21 and running through June 16, you could have a chance to be the next Ordoñez.
That won't be easy, though. We recently had a playthrough on GT6 the proper way - with a racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, complete with column-mounted paddles. (Our setup looked just like the one you see above, though that image is from E3.) In other words, it was as close to driving an actual car as most console games can get.
