Fair Lawn, New Jersey, United States

This car has a clean Carfax and I am only the second owner. It was always dealer serviced and never in an accident. There are no rips or tears in the seats, and no stains anywhere, nor any cracks in the dash or door panels. This has also always been a non-smoker’s car. It runs and drives like a three year old car; you can't even tell that it has 255,000+ miles on the chassis. This can partially be attributed to the engine having been replaced 38,000 miles ago with an identical engine that had about 88,000 miles, so this motor only has about 128,000 miles on it now. With the engine the radiator, all the filters, and a water pump were also replaced and a full tune-up was done. About 500 miles ago the front brake rotors and pads were replaced with new drilled and slotted rotors and semi-metallic pads, and a full adjustment was done of all the brakes. The alternator was replaced with a new one a couple years ago when the old one died, and all four tires are basically new, with about 5000 miles on the rear two and 1000 on the front two. Besides that, I added two remotes that control the door locks electrically, and also can remote start the engine. The radio was replaced with a Clarion receiver that has AM/FM, Bluetooth, a single CD slot, plus a remote and removable face-plate, and all four speakers were replaced with new ones. Everything in it works well, and no one would have any problem driving it under any conditions and over any distance. The car will regularly get 34 MPG on the highway, and will cruise at 70 MPH all day. The car is fully serviced, needs nothing, and is ready to go with no extra money having to be spent on anything. Please notice the Autocheck score for cars like this is within the range of 11-31, and this car scores a 40...this should tell you that this is the car to buy!

Toyota's $1.6B unintended acceleration settlement approved

Sat, 20 Jul 2013

Toyota is now one step closer to putting its unintended acceleration woes behind it as it has received approval from the US District Court for the Central District of California to settle loss-of-value claims to vehicles associated with the 2009-2010 recalls.
As we reported back in May, the Toyota settlement is worth $1.63 billion, which, according to Bloomberg, includes a payout of $757 million to affected owners, $227 million to attorneys and an additional $875 million for vehicle upgrades. (We did the math, too, and that totals $1.859 billion, but there is no justification for the discrepancy. Fuzzy math, eh?)
Based on the estimated 22.6 million vehicles said to be included in this suit, that would make the average payment about $33.49 per vehicle, but the article says that owners, lessees and even renters will receive varying amounts ranging from $9.74 up to as much as $10,000. This settlement does not affect suits filed for personal injury or wrongful death.

Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?

Mon, 02 Sep 2013

When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.

Toyota recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, although the exact split between affected models wasn't available.
According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short.
It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing.
