On behalf of my friend I am auctioning his 2003 Toyota Corolla S which runs but cannot be driven due to a broken left front spring. The car has 166,068 miles. He is the 2nd owner. It is silver with black cloth interior. Some of the equipment on this Corolla includes: automatic transmission; power locks/windows/mirrors; keyless entry; cruise control; and AM/FM CD player. The car has a clean and clear Illinois title. Please read below for a detailed description of this Corolla.

 

MECHANICAL

The car starts right away and runs strong with smooth shifts. There are no leaks or unusual noises but the engine compartment is dirty. My friend has kept up with all regular maintenance and just put new tires on in November, 2013. The suspension, however, needs work. The left front spring broke and it appears it will also need front struts and inner/outer tie rods. There is also a loud popping noise when turning the steering wheel. No formal inspections have been done so this is just an assumption of what is needed with the suspension.

 

EXTERIOR

As would be expected from an 11 year old car the exterior is showing signs of age. There are dings, scratches, faded paint, and rust throughout. There is no major body damage. As far as my friend knows the only accident the car was involved in was a low speed parking lot fender bender that required paint work to the left front fender.

 

INTERIOR

The interior just needs a good cleaning as we are coming out of a long winter here in the Chicago area. There are no signs of unusual wear to the interior of the car or unusual odors. Also it’s important to note that my friend is not a smoker and has no pets.

 

TERMS OF SALE    

The car is under a reserve auction and the final reserve amount will not be disclosed. The car is listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. The car can be inspected in Aurora, IL on week nights with advance notice but because of the broken left front spring I cannot let you take the car on a test drive for liability reasons. You are not bidding on a cream puff – this is an 11 year old car that has been driven daily and needs suspension work so please keep that in mind when bidding.  That being said this car is being sold as is and where is. There are no guarantees, warranties, or refunds. If you buy this car you must pay a $1000 deposit within 48 hours and the full balance within a week. You must also arrange transportation – again the car is not safe to drive. If you are paying by cashier’s check the vehicle will not be released until funds are confirmed. Please only bid if you are serious about buying this car. I will answer any questions you have so please feel free to ask them before bidding!

2015 Toyota Camry priced at $22,970*, Hybrid at $26,790*

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

We last saw the heavily revised 2015 Toyota Camry at the New York Auto Show earlier this year. Now, it's finally time for the best-selling car in the US to hit the roads in late September, and Toyota is announcing how much the updated model actually costs.
The basic Camry LE rings up for $22,970 (*not including a $825 delivery, processing and handling fee). That's up slightly from the base price of $22,425 for the 2014.5 LE, but the updated sedan has some 2,000 new parts, while also being 1.8 inches longer and boasting a 0.4-inch wider track. The rest of the trim levels include the SE for $23,840, sporty new XSE for $26,150 and XLE at $26,150. Opting for the V6 is the XSE and XLE bumps pricing to $31,370.
Separately, the Camry Hybrid gets its own LE, SE and XLE trims. The LE starts at $26,790 with a standard, power driver's seat and 4.2-inch information display. The SE for $27,995 gets an improved interior and the XLE at $29,980 has leather, heated front seats, LED running lights and more.

Toyota Auris gets new Touring Sports variant

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Toyota showed off the Touring Sports version of the Auris next to the newly introduced Auris Hybrid at last year's Paris Motor Show, but didn't say much about it. Six months later, just ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, the company is crowing about that wagon going on sale with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, creating the Auris Touring Sports Hybrid.
The hauling version of the exceptionally popular Auris hatchback doesn't just add a hybrid wagon to the compact segment, Toyota says it offers class-leading load capacity of 1,658 liters with the Easy-Flat one-touch rear seats down. With the rear seats up, it offers 530 liters. The little big gulp is possible because the hybrid batteries have been placed under the rear seats instead of being in the luggage area.
It looks the same as the hatchback save for the fact that it's 285 millimeters (11.2 inches) longer behind the C pillar, has a redesigned tailgate and a lower load floor. Engines beyond the hybrid will match the rest of the lineup: 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter gasoline engines and a 1.4-liter D-4D diesel. There's a chance we'll see it in Geneva, if we don't there's a press release below to tell you all about it.

Question of the Day: Ever consider driving a minivan?

Thu, May 12 2016

Since I'm supposed to know something about cars, it happens all the time: friends and relatives ask me advice about what kind of vehicle they should get. Very often, the only type of vehicle that can check every item on their wish list (e.g., hauls lots of people and stuff, gets good fuel economy, has great crash-test ratings, can take four Great Danes camping, and so on) is a modern minivan... and, of course, nobody wants to hear this. I'm not a minivan person, they will wail, and so they end up with a cramped, fuel-swilling SUV or a not-so-space-efficient minivan-in-disguise CUV. So, is it worth becoming one of those minivan people in order to get the incredible usefulness of these masterpieces of vehicle engineering, or do you hold your head high and drive something that doesn't quite meet your needs?
