Selling my lovely granny owned (from 0 - 98,000 miles) 93 Toyota Camry, I bought her for likely the same reason you are here now, she's strong reliable and fuel economical,

Some things I'd never expected were how responsive she is, how smooth the ride is, smart cruise control, that she has an Overdrive mode, and a sports mode, and finally how incredibly easy to work on she was.

My partner (a qualified mechanic) has replaced the old battery with a brand new one, replaced the old and fraying alternator belt with a crisp brand new one, replaced the old and weary air filter with a brand new one, replaced the down pipes and exhaust system with completely new parts front to back, The oil and filter have been swapped out for fresh and new.

Yes she may have 105,500 miles on the clock and not be the prettiest but anyone who knows their cars will know this is nowhere near half the lifetime expectancy of a 93 Camry and she has AT LEAST another 10 years to go, Toyota are renowned for being the duracell bunny of the car world and with the least love and attention possible they last forever, my parents still have the same Toyota Hilux they've had for more than 25-30 years and it still hasn't missed a beat.

The love and attention that this lovely car has received from us will see her onwards for at least another 50,000 miles without any consideration (oil change tire check etc) and way beyond, but we would like her to go to a loving home, she never failed us whatever we asked of her and served us a fantastic few months, she doesn't need love and attention but if you can provide it we'd like you to have her.

For anyone wondering why we are selling a car we have grown so attached to it is very simple, we are getting hitched and moving to Europe to live in 3 countries and simply can't take her with us, and believe me we considered it, but my partner already has a car there waiting for us, so we wish you happy bidding and good luck, she's a wonderful car and we will both miss her.

Toyota throwing water on fast-charging EVs

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Toyota is undoubtedly committed to moving beyond the internal combustion engine for future automobiles. But, while the company embraces hybrids with boosted production, new models and in motorsports, the automaker is more standoffish when it comes to pure electric models. This is especially true as the Mirai hydrogen fuel cell sedan comes to market. In the mind of Mirai chief engineer Yoshikazu Tanaka, even fast-charging electric vehicles don't have much of a future because of their strain on the power grid. "If you were to charge a car in 12 minutes for a range of 500 km (310 miles), for example, you're probably using up electricity required to power 1,000 houses," he said to Reuters. Tanaka admitted that EVs have a place in the market, but it was for short drives during the day after being charged each night. As one of the people responsible for bringing the Mirai to the road, it shouldn't be too shocking that Tanaka puts his faith in hydrogen. He feels that H2 is the better choice for long-distance driving because of the available range and speed of refueling. "Of course, there are technological hurdles that need to be cleared to make this commercially viable," he said to Reuters. One of the biggest of those obstacles is building a new refueling infrastructure. But, despite government subsidies, Japan looks set to miss its goal of opening 100 H2 stations by the end of March 2016. Toyota has thrown a lot of support behind hydrogen but has been accused of overstating some of the fuel's benefits and embellishing the current refueling infrastructure. Still, engineers at the automaker are working to bring the cost of the fuel cell vehicle down to the level of a diesel by 2022.

Final decision on Toyota/BMW sports car due by year end

Fri, Sep 18 2015

BMW and Toyota signed a memorandum of understanding to share technology and build a sports car way back in 2012, and months later, they made that partnership official. This oft-rumored model from two auto industry titans still hasn't hit the road, and the time has come to make a final decision about its future. Thankfully, the model's fate is just a few months from being known. "By the end of the year we will approve whether or not we will make it," a Toyota spokesperson said about the sports car project, according to Automotive News Europe. "The whole study before that, on what kind of platform, on what kind of architecture, that's been progressing quite well. We haven't yet decided to give the green light to the project, but it's coming up." The collaboration is supposed to result in jointly developed fuel-cell tech, composites, and research into lithium-air batteries. Little is officially known about what Toyota and BMW are planning for the sports car project, but there are plenty of rumors about what's in store. Both automakers are supposed to get their own version of the vehicle. Some reports say the Japanese model will be the revival of the Supra, and the Bimmer-badged one might end up being a replacement for the Z4. The potential powertrains have been suggested as a German-sourced, turbocharged inline six with rear-wheel drive and a super-capacitor-powered plug-in hybrid with all-wheel drive.

Toyota to recall 185k cars globally, including Yaris

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

Toyota has announced it is recalling a total of 185,000 vehicles worldwide for a power steering issue. Yaris and (overseas) Vitz models built between November 2010 and March 2012 could suffer a short circuit in their power steering control module if water gets inside. Should that happen, the power steering could fail, increasing effort when turning. The recall also includes the Verso-S and Ractis built from August 2010 to August 2011. The recall covers 130,000 vehicles in Japan and around 22,450 in Europe.
Only 74 units are being recalled in the United States.
Toyota says if the fault occurs, the vehicle will display the Electronic Power Steering warning light on the dash and a buzzer will sound. The automaker will alert owners by mail and dealers will replace the power steering control module free of charge. You can read the quick press release on the recall below for more information.
