Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Scratches, rust, cosmetic issues, as might be expected.FRAME RUST ISSUE: around-town driving recommended.Puff of blue smoke on start.Coolant leak.Recent work: new exhaust, all brake work done.Good clutch, strong engine."

Air blows cold, cruise control works, roof rack, runs and drives great. Five speed with a strong clutch, new brakes, new exhaust, and very clean interior.

Here's the deal on this car.

I just bought it for $1,200, then did a front end alignment, then took it in for a safety check.

It turns out, the seller I bought from "forgot" to mention a few small issues regarding this car; I am choosing to sell it at a loss that I can accept, or else learn how to part out a car!

The issues:

puff of blue smoke on cold starts (it lasts about one second).

leaking antifreeze from the radiator or near the radiator, I am not sure exactly.

And the biggest issue: the frame is badly rusted. Some welding has been done under the car to combat this. However, upon the safety check my mechanic told me that he feels the car is unsafe for use as my do-everything vehicle. He said he would feel ok with me driving it locally, but did not want to see my taking it across the country (as he knows I have a tendency to do). The frame is especially bad in the rear and poses a serious safety issue if the car was ever rear-ended.

The car can and has been taken on the expressway (I drove it about 500 miles on expressways in the couple days after purchasing), but for safety reasons this is not recommended.

Therefore I am selling it as a PARTS CAR that can be driven home. If you are uncomfortable driving it at all, I can deliver to you for the cost of gas plus $7 an hour driving time, within about 5 hours or so of Hillsdale, MI. Remember when calculating the costs that two people will have to drive out and a five hour drive would be twenty hours of driving time (2 people making the 5 hour drive twice). Despite the warning on the frame it does run and drive great and I will be driving it until it is sold or too parted out to keep driving.

It has other cosmetic issues (rust, dings, and scratches on the body) as might be expected for a 20 year old car. I do think it looks better in the pics than in real life, so buy accordingly. There are rust holes under the doors that are not really visible in the photos, and the scratch on the driver's side rear door is worse than it looks in the pic, though still cosmetic only.

If you just want a cheap, good car, this is probably not for you.

If you have one of these and you want a perfectly good, running parts car with everything there and working, maybe it's for you. The cruise works, the air blows cold, the factory radio is good, ALL electronics work except the cig. lighter.

The engine runs VERY STRONG.

The clutch is good.

Teach your kids to drive stick in the meantime!

the E brake does not work. Aside from what is mentioned, everything is top notch. It's a shame it can't/shouldn't stay on the road.

Thanks for looking. If it's not bought I will be parting it out. Send me a message to express interest in specific parts in advance, and I can contact you once they are listed.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.

Toyota Avalon celebrates 20 years with Touring Sport Edition

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Toyota Avalon may not have the sportiest image on the market. Heck, it doesn't even have the sportiest image in the Toyota lineup. But the Japanese automaker is out to fix that perception, at least a little bit, with the launch of the new Touring Sport Edition.
Announced together with some minor updates to the entire Avalon line - consisting primarily of enhanced safety and infotainment systems - the Avalon XLE Touring Sport Edition celebrates the 20th anniversary of Toyota's large sedan line. Setting this special edition apart are a black paintjob, HID headlights, LED daytime running lights, 18-inch alloys (similar in design to those on the Scion FR-S) and an interior decked out with perforated leather with dark blue trim... plus, of course, the requisite special badges inside and out.
Only 2,500 units will be offered with a $37,170 sticker price that puts it near (if not quite at) the top of the Avalon range that's capped by the $41,700 Avalon Hybrid Limited. Pricing has increased on most models by around two percent, and you can scope out all the details of the updates to the full range in the press releases below.
