San Francisco, California, United States

I purchased this truck in October 2013, and used it while I was living in Tahoe. The 4WD performs great in the snow, allowing for on-the-fly
shifting when road conditions change. Selling because I moved back to the city.

Previous owner had it for less than a year as well, but he bought it from his friend who took great care of it for 11 years. Before that, there was only one other owner.

The service records are appropriate for the age of the vehicle, and lots of major work has been done in the past 5 years..clutch, radiator, timing belt, valve work, etc. Brake pads on the front are brand new.

Registration paid through January 2015

Pros:
-Very reliable...starts every time
-Bluetooth/CD stereo wired to mic on driver's visor and iPhone/USB plugs
-A/C and heat are both good, with rear heat control in the back seat
-Looks great

Cons:
-Burns approx. 1/3 qt. oil per tank of gas
-Failed smog test, turns out it's a gross polluter, or more than 2x acceptable HC limit...plus over CO limit as well. (This makes it eligible for a $1000-1500 California buy-back program...keep this in mind when submitting best offers.) I talked to the smog tech about the test history, and he said it failed first in 2009, 2010, then passed in 2010 and 2011, then again in September 2013 right before I bought it. He theorized that the repairs done in 2010 were not sufficient, and mentioned that a vacuum leak or faulty catalytic converter as possible issues.
-CV joint makes noise on hard turns or Uturns, but is fully functional
-Speedometer makes whirring noise when driven in cold weather without warm-up, but is fully functional


It's a shame to retire this truck...seems a great candidate for rebuild, or for someone who wants to drive her a state with no emissions test. If not, I'll enter the California repair assistance program, so that I can diagnose the problem.

Available for test drives in San Francisco, CA.

Free delivery may be possible to some parts of Bay Area, please contact me to confirm.

If purchase price is above $2500, I'll include Infinity subwoofer (see picture) and amp already wired in the back..if it's below $2500 and you still want it, I'll sell them for $150 on top of purchase price.

A deposit (10% of Buy It Now price) must be paid through Paypal no later than 24 hours after purchase. The balance must be paid in cash within 3 days of purchase.

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Thanks for reading, and don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

First 2014 Toyota Corolla commercial dances through time

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Despite the fact that the Toyota Corolla pretty much sells itself, the eleventh-generation 2014 model is getting a huge marketing push that aims to appeal to both Millennials (of course), as well as the older generations that have lived with the stalwart Japanese compact for decades. The first television advertising spot, called, "Style Never Goes Out of Style," shows that the Corolla has had a place in mainstream culture since its launch in the 1960s. We have to admit, it's pretty cool to see older models from the '60s, '70s and '80s come out to play for this commercial, especially the latter of those, as it gives us enthusiasts fond memories of the infamous AE86.
The whole web/broadcast/print/social media marketing campaign surrounding the 2014 Corolla is called "Elevate," because, according to Toyota:
Extensive market research shows that Millennials are looking to take their career to the next level and are looking to buy their first 'real' car to get them there. The design of the all-new Corolla is significantly elevated from the previous generations, creating a more dynamic and desirable image for the Corolla nameplate that will appeal to these younger buyers.

Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
