PRICE SEEMS A BIT STEEP, BUT READ ON. I ASSURE YOU, IT'S WORTH IT. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE INQUIRING! This car is still my daily driver, registered under my name and inspected. She's still running and miles will increase. I had an offer for this car by a gentleman back in June for 1800. The only reason why the deal fell through is because he wanted the new struts installed in the car at the time of purchase and I could not accommodate his request. But upon test driving and assessing, the car was basically worth the offer. Also, more money has gone into the car since that time. I bought a car better suited for the winter months so now I am selling this car. It's a great little car, and has been very good to me. Absolutely reliable. Everything I did for this car since I took ownership back in December 3, 2012 was basically long overdue maintenance. Otherwise, no mechanical repairs were necessary nor are they now. I can't list all the things done. I have a meticulous service history for the car. They're for record purposes only as many jobs were DIYs. The major jobs however were done by a competent mechanic. I really don't drive very much, and although I have had the car for 10 months, I have only put in 6000 miles on the car. So all the repairs done on this car are recent, with most of the benefits being transferred to the new owner. This car needs nothing. Just the few big items I will list here, but keep in mind that this car is solid inside and out and much more was actually done: 1. Timing belt, tensioner, drive belt, and water pump all replaced within the last 6 months, with only 3000 miles on them. 2. New struts, all 4. Complete assembly replacement. So new springs, mounts, boots... you name it. 3. New linkages, front and rear 4. New tie rods, inner and outer 5. New coolant, complete with flush 6. New transmission gear oil. AMSOIL 75W90 7. MANY MANY MORE. 8. NEW CLUTCH!!! much lighter than the original OEM and grabs straight off the floor! 9. New mounts, engine passenger side and transmission side. 10. New tires! all 4. TOYO - Balanced and good to go! Nitrogen filled. 11. Alignments done regularly. 12. Oil changes done on the dot. This car doesn't need to be jacked for oil changes. So very convenient! currently running on Valvoline Maxlife. Excellent oil! The car isn't pretty, but it's an absolutely solid car. EVERYTHING works! and I mean everything! no blown speakers (upgraded Kenwood unit with all 4 matching Kenwood speakers. 3 way units) and all windows go up and down. (manually) And every dash lights, dome lights, AC, everything. Work like they should. Heat is awesome! it can get so hot during winter inside the car I've had back seat passengers complain about the heat! The AC is ice cold! Cons: Could do with replacement of both the front and rear engine mounts as well since they're also old and were not replaced with the other two mounts (Note, this is not essential. It's merely a recommendation). I never quite got around to it. But they're 25 dollar parts and a few hour DIYs. The result is occasionally, especially when cold and the engine has just started, there is a little bit of vibration. Other times it's absolutely smooth inside the car. The shift is a bit rough feeling as well when cold. That's cause the mounts that are new are doing all the work and they're not that pliant when cold. But this is in no way a mechanical fault on the car. I had the car driven by mechanics who said this is one of the smoothest and best running 20 year old car they've seen. My personal mechanic said that he wishes everyone looked after their car like I did. At the time of the drive I was told that the transmission mount would need to be replaced. But the right side engine mount was done as an elective. The other two mounts if replaced would probably make this car drive like new. And there is a whiff of gas due to a corroding filler neck pipe. It's a 65 dollar part and a 2 hour DIY. I could do this myself, but never got around to it since again, doesn't affect the car. In fact, only smells when the car is full to the brim in gas. Otherwise, no smell and runs perfect. Burns around .5-1.5 quarts of oil in 3000 miles. VERY normal for these cars. They all do it. And it's actually normal for cars to burn a bit of oil so this isn't unusual but I thought I'd mention it. No smoke though, at least nothing that would be considered out of the ordinary. The car's engine is still smooth and it seems to be getting better on the oil consumption since switching to Valvoline Maxlife. Lastly, paint isn't in the best shape. But the car is solid. I did what I could to prevent further oxidation and aging of the paint and metal. The car is very very clean and doesn't look too bad. I've put a ton of cash in to the car during my ownership (Well over 2000 dollars). In fact, I'm losing money selling this car. But i need a better car for the winter. I just wanna recoup some of the money I sunk into this car. Trust me, even at this price I'm losing money so don't expect to get this car for nothing. I am practically giving the car away for free. I just want some of the repair money back. That is all. I don't want anyone to think this car is unreliable. It's a TOYOTA COROLLA! these things run till you die first! and the only reason why so much money was spent was due to timing belt and clutch replacement! big cost there! but the car never stalled, broke down, over heated or left me stranded. EVER. She took me to Connecticut and back in a single day, no rest. No problems. Again, this car was good enough to receive a 1800 dollar offer. I'm sure you will appreciate this car. It will move fast! So if you're in the market for a very well kept cheap little car that will SAVE YOU MONEY GUARANTEED then don't let this little gem get away! I didn't list all the things I've done for this car! Trust me, it's worth it! Will throw in Haynes manual with car. And air filter, as well as oil filter. The car isn't pretty, but it is VERY CLEAN. I have applied clear coat to keep the car from rusting further. Currently the car has no rust, is clean and has no problems whatsoever. I'm selling this car because I got a better and newer car. When I think of selling it after only 10 months of use with all the money and repairs done, I feel like I want to keep the car but frankly can't because it would be impractical to insure 2 cars for just me. So come on over and see this little gem! Exterior isn't great, but interior is MINT and super clean! The car gets around 26 mpg in the town. Up to 34 MPG highway. I typically got 32 however. And this car is dirt cheap to insure! Reach me at 8-four-5 five-4-five 55-two-5 Please no spam, scam or paypal deals, or cashier's checks or whatever. This is a cheap car. So come with cash in hand and inspect the car yourself. This is a great little car and I promise you that you won't be disappointed! |

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt
Fri, Oct 31 2014The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Toyota earn environmental awards
Tue, Nov 10 2015Electric mobility nonprofit Drive Oregon has launched a campaign to invite the electric car industry to perform testing in the state. The campaign tells companies to, "Test Drive the Future in the Living Lab," citing Oregon's density of EV owners and charging infrastructure, varied terrain and climate, funding opportunities, and the state's technological reputation as the "Silicon Forest." Plus, as Drive Oregon Executive Director Jeff Allen, points out, "if you really screw things up here, it doesn't make as much noise as it would in California." Already, Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans for an Innovation Incubator in Oregon. Read more at Green Car Reports. Mazda's new paint system has won the Prime Minister's Award in the category of Manufacturing and Production Process at the 6th Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award ceremony. Mazda's Aqua-tech paint system significantly reduces emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO2. The Aqua-tech system uses a water-based color basecoat and a urethane clear coat to reduce VOC emissions by 57 percent. It consolidates the painting process and reduces energy in paint-booth air-conditioning and flash-off processes to reduce energy consumption. It also allows Mazda to create such colors as Soul Red, which looks quite nice on the MX-5 Miata. Read more at Green Car Congress, and learn all about the Aqua-tech paint process from Mazda. The Toyota Mirai has received a 2015 Environmental Award from Austrian automobile club ARBO.

Why Toyota Camry's Korea Car of the Year win is a big-time upset
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2013 Toyota Camry is officially the car of the year in Korea. The country's motoring press graced the Japanese sedan with the honor for the first time, officially marking a shift in prevailing Korean attitudes toward Japan and its products. According to industry analysts, buyers in the country are no longer simply choosing their purchases based on whether or not they're made in South Korea, but rather based on quality and personal choice. That's a big jump from a few years ago, when buyers viewed their purchases through a patriotic lens.
The Camry managed to edge out a total of 44 other cars, including hardware from both Hyundai and Kia, to become the first foreign vehicle to take home the Korea Automobile Journalist Association's Car of the Year award. As The Detroit News points out, just 10 years ago, domestic manufacturers held some 99 percent of the Korean car market. But a change in trade regulations has opened up the country considerably, and buyers now have access to a wide range of products from around the globe. As a result, Hyundai and Kia have countered by cutting prices in an attempt to keep their grip on the market.
