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:"Car shakes when driven. Pulls to the right. The brake pedal is way too low for my liking but it does stop the car within a normal stopping distance. Exhaust is broken and loud. Due to value of the car, I have removed the non-essential interior parts, trim, etc, to sell separately, and am selling the car's BODY, ENGINE and TRANSMISSION plus other parts that are left on the car as a unit, either for PARTS, SCRAP, or both. It is a running parts car. It does run and drive as it is, but there is no point it buying it to try to put it back together as a daily driver."
Here's the deal with this car.
Let me say this first:
I AM SELLING THIS CAR FOR PARTS, SCRAP, OR PROBABLY BOTH.
PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING!!
I am having trouble transferring pics from my iPod to the computer to add them to the listing.
I should have pics up by tomorrow or even tonight. But just in case, a brief note on the body condition. The car is blue. There is rust along the wheel wells and under the doors. Not the worst Michigan '94 Corolla, not the best in terms of rust. It is not major, but is easily noticeable without searching. Some nicks and scratches, no major dents. I think that says about everything you'd see in the pics anyway!
Note, the title is clear, but the car is absolutely in no way sold as a daily driver. If you want the body, tranny or engine, bid on it. I suppose that if you want the car complete, to put back together and fix the problems I am about to list, you can message me with an offer and if I like it, I could add a buy it now. I do not think it is worth fixing all of the things that are wrong with it, but if you disagree and want to turn it back into a daily driver, great!
I am also going to list this car for sale locally in the Jackson, Michigan Craigs list. I reserve the right to end the auction early if someone buys it there. Price will be a little lower because cl has no fees. I recommend you check out that listing if only because more pictures will be included there.
The car is being sold for the BODY, the ENGINE, and the TRANSMISSION, primarily. Parts that are not essential to it's ability to turn on, go, and stop are being removed by me as much as my (limited) skill allows me. So any part that requires some level of mechanical skill to remove will also still be there... at the end I will give a detailed list. If it does not say it is there, then message me or assume it is not and is not included as part of this auction. Thank you!
The car runs and drives. There are a few issues with the driving part of it, though:
1) The car shakes. At high speed, at low speed, at medium speed. It's actually most pronounced at lower speeds. The steering wheel shakes visibly and this can be felt in the ride of the car. I don't know what causes this, but it is a lot more than a slight shimmy on the expressway and I would not feel safe driving a car like that without having it fixed.
2) The exhaust pipe is broken before it reached the muffler, and as a result the car is LOUD.
3) It pulls to the right; I've driven worse.
4) The brake pedal goes a lot farther towards the ground that I think it should before any real stopping power kicks in. At that point it has the power to bring you to a stop as quickly as you would normally want to come to stop. If you had to slam on the brakes, I imagine it would not stop as quickly as it was designed to.
I bought this car yesterday.. I posted a wanted ad for awd Toyotas from the eighties, and someone said she had a '94 Corolla that she wanted $550 for.. "runs good, just needs muffler work." I got there and found out that all of the things I just listed were also wrong with it. Since it wasn't what I really wanted anyway, I told her I could only make an offer on it as a parts car. So I did, and I was even thinking of pulling out the engine and trying to get ahold of a Corolla All-Trac with a blown motor.. but all of that crazy thinking thankfully came to an end when I saw my wife's expression when I brought home a car that we couldn't drive.
As far as I know the engine is ok. I did drive it an hour and a half home from Lansing and it seemed to perform all right (I did not take it over 65). It did not seem overly peppy, but I wondered how much that had to do with the impression given by the loud exhaust, and I have heard that a broken pipe can affect performance, but I don't really know.
If there were any problems with how it was running, it would be hard to tell over the shake in the steering and the noise of the exhaust. It felt like it was running alright, but I say that only to give you my impression after a short drive and I can not make any guarantees.
You could technically drive this home if you choose to. You will be responsible for determining whether it is safe to do so and I relinquish all responsibility the moment it leaves my driveway. I will give you the title, the car and the keys. You are responsible for doing what is legal and safe on your end. My strong recommendation is to bring a trailer, start it up and drive it onto the trailer unless you are going a very short distance. I am taking the headllights, taillights, turn signals and battery out of the car before it goes. If you do wish to drive it, you will need to either bring these things with you or buy them from me. The headlights sell for over $50 on eBay, so do the tail lights, and the turn signals in all are probably worth another fifty. So is the battery... so for this $200 worth of stuff, I will charge you $100 if you have purchased the car. Again, you will owe me $100 in addition to the purchase price if you want the lights and the battery to be included with the car!
The car is pictured with driver's side windows. It will have NO WINDOWS when you get it. The only glass will be the windshield, which has a crack in it, and the rear windshield, which is good and has the defrost lines.
It is pictured with lights. It will have NO LIGHTS when you get it unless you buy them separately.
The grille will also be gone.
the trunk latch is gone, and I intend that the hood latch will be too.
I am hoping to be able to remove the air cleaner box, radiator fan and AC compressor, but may not be able to. You can contact me near the end of the auction to find out, if they are important to you. Otherwise, bid as if they are not there.
Other removed items: speedometer, sun visors, radio face plate, glove compartment, dome light, window motors, interior door handles, dash is broken from when I did not succeed in removing it, "oh s*** handles," and most of the trim on the inside and outside of the car. Again, if there is a specific part you want, ask if it is still there or assume it is NOT when you bid.
You are welcome to buy any part I have with cash for less than I would sell it for online when you pick up the car.
You will be responsible for arranging to transport the vehicle once you buy it.
Rear tires decent, front pretty worn.
I am getting tired of writing about it. If I missed something, just ask.
$410 is the starting bid and there is no reserve. The engine is worth the asking price, the body is worth $$$ as scrap, the tranny seems fine, etc etc. Buy it for one or all reasons.. whatever your reason, bid $410 or more and take it away.
Thanks!

Minivan Comparison | Sienna vs Odyssey vs Pacifica vs Sedona
Fri, Nov 20 2020The minivan segment is fresher than it's been in years, possibly decades. The 2021 Toyota Sienna is a completely redesigned model with a bold new look and standard hybrid powertrain. Both the Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica were refreshed for 2021 with updated styling, upgraded tech, and in the case of the Pacifica, newly optional all-wheel drive. Only the 2021 Kia Sedona soldiers on without changes; it's still a solid van despite its advanced age and relatively few people buying it. Usually when we put a comparison like this together, we have to pick and choose which vehicles to include (mostly because we can't do some 15-car spreadsheet without utilizing 4-point font). In the case of minivans, there are only four. That certainly makes it easier to research and cross-shop in person without worrying that you might be missing out on something. It also makes it a bit easier to go beyond the usual spreadsheet and dig a little deeper than normal into the competitors. Let's take a brief look at each. 2021 Toyota Sienna The Sienna is completely new for '21 after going a decade with only updates. Its exterior style is more expressive than before, but it's the new cabin that really impresses — it's far more car-like in appearance, but still offers the expected amount of abundant storage and functionality. Mechanically, the big news is that every Sienna is now a hybrid. Though down a bit on power compared to everything else, its 36 mpg combined (or 35 mpg with all-wheel drive) crushes everything but the Pacifica plug-in hybrid. This exceptional fuel economy and its far-sliding, big-kid-friendly second-row seats are its main selling points, but in every other respect, it's fully competitive. Read our full 2021 Sienna Review 2021 Toyota Sienna View 41 Photos 2021 Chrysler Pacifica The Pacifica gets its first comprehensive set of upgrades since it was all-new for '17. The front end has been restyled, all-wheel drive is now an option and there's a new Pinnacle range-topping trim. The big news, however, is its technology offerings. Every Pacifica now comes standard, as the Odyssey and Sienna do, with a comprehensive array of driver assistance technologies. Every trim also gets Chrysler's latest UConnect infotainment system with a larger, 10.1-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Scion iA and iM rolled into Yaris and Corolla lineups for 2017
Thu, Mar 17 2016The Scion brand may be going away, but most of its cars (sorry, tC) are living on. We'll see the 2017 Toyota 86 (nee Scion FR-S) at the New York Auto Show next week, and the automaker already confirmed that the Scion iA and iM will be rebadged as Toyotas. But instead of standing on their own, the former Scions will be rolled into existing model lines. "Yaris iA" and "Corolla iM" will be the official names of the cars, effective for 2017. It's a smart move, paring the relatively new Scion nameplates with well-known, existing Toyota monikers. Scion spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell tells Autoblog that the iA already exists as the Yaris in the Canadian and Mexican markets, so "that connection was already there." Plus, it's better for marketing. The combination of the two vehicles all under the Yaris nameplate means Toyota can focus its advertising dollars on one vehicle line, simply saying that you can now have the Yaris as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. "The same goes with Corolla," Hubbell explains. She says the existing Toyota sedan and the Scion iM "paired really well," and again, it means Toyota can advertise the Corolla as having two body styles moving forward. There are benefits from a sales perspective, too. Never mind that Scion division sales were already included in Toyota's overall numbers – calling the new cars Yaris iA and Corolla iM means the company won't have to report these cars individual sales separately. It's like when Toyota made the Matrix – its technical name was Corolla Matrix, so its individual sales didn't have to be broken out. That means an extra boost in overall numbers for the Yaris and Corolla, even if the cars would have been reported under Toyota's numbers had they kept their Scion badges. View 18 Photos Related Video:
