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 will start when it wants to. When it does start, most often or not it will die within a few minutes. I have driven it down the street only to have it die. I would have to start it the next day to drive it back to its original location. I do not have the time or money to find out what is wrong with it. Needs an oil change and a good interior detailing. Has been in two accidents, the first one not major at all ( little incident with a guard rail due to slippery roads ), and a second one with a deer. Had the hood, radiator, and radiator brackets replaced, along with a few other things. I have that service report available to view. No other service reports available. Check engine lights comes on and off randomly when it does not want to start, or when it only runs for a few minutes. Service light in on, but that is caused by needing an oil change. The deer incident was within the last two months or so and is not reflected in the vehicle history report as of yet."

As stated in the condition description, I have a hard time keeping this car running, and or starting. I am not a "car" guy, and I do not have the time or money to keep putting it in the shop to find out whats wrong. May be something simple or more complex, I do not know. Due to the problems it is having, I strongly recommend the buyer having it towed to wherever it is going. Buyer will be responsible for the tow part and the appropriate paper work for exchange of title. It may stay running long enough to get there, it may not. I have had it die on me just a tenth of a mile down the road, just to have to let it sit for 24 hours or so before I could get it to start again. Now that that is out of the way, this car has been very reliable over the years. Original owner, title in hand. 4 Cyl 1.8 L automatic. All 119,000 ( approx ) miles put on by me, mostly highway miles. The paint is still in great shape. No major scratches or dents. Through the years, I have only had to change the oil, brakes once, headlight bulbs twice, rear tail light once, and tires a couple times. AM/FM/CD player, power steering, power locks, power windows, power mirrors. Rear spoiler, ground spoilers I guess they are called. Has been smoked in, the interior needs a good detailing and an oil change. Virginia tags.  This car is also listed on autotrader.com so should I take an offer there, I do reserve the right to end this listing early. If you are interested here, you can make me an offer. Cash, certified check only due on pickup within 7 days of auctions close. Certified check will be verified with the issuing bank. I will not accept wire transfers, or payments. If payment is not received after the 7 days I will file a claim. All sales final. If you have more questions, you can send me a message via ebay and I will reply with my phone number so you can contact me. Leave a message and I will get back with you as soon as possible. I have to do this due to scammers, work schedule, etc.

Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.

Toyota prices TRD Pro Tacoma, 4Runner

Fri, 01 Aug 2014

Toyota is finally all set to drop more details about the upcoming off-road ready TRD Pro Series models of the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra after first revealing them in February. These trucks and SUV might not get the big engine and other mods that desert-stormers like the Ford F-150 Raptor have, but they are still a nice step up over the stock versions. All of the TRD Pro vehicles come as 4x4 models with Bilstein shocks with remote reservoirs in the rear, TRD front springs, skid plates, black wheels, retro-inspired "TOYOTA" badging and TRD-branded floor mats and shift knobs on the inside. They're available in three colors: Inferno, Attitude Black Metallic and Super White.
The Tacoma hits the market first in early August with prices starting at $35,525, plus $885 for delivery, processing, and handling, for an Access Cab V6 with a six-speed manual. Opting for a five-speed automatic brings things up to $37,390 after the destination fee. A Double Cab with a manual goes for $37,320, or $38,300 for the automatic, after the delivery charges. The 4Runner follows in September with just a single trim priced at $41,110 - $41,995 after the charge - for the V6 and five-speed auto.
Toyota is holding off on revealing more about the Tundra for now. It's coming in the fall, but the company isn't announcing prices yet. We don't have to wait long, though. "Within the next month we'll reveal that," said Toyota spokesperson Sam Butto to Autoblog about the TRD Pro Tundra's price.

Refreshed 2013 Toyota Landcruiser Prado gets official [w/video]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We'd seen leaked images of the the refreshed 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, now Toyota has deemed it officially ready for the European masses it is aimed at. We can only hope the masses are ready for that grille, probably the most intense of the many changes made to the volcano-eating truck. The new face and its "powerfully projecting vertical bars" were designed to "accentuate the new Toyota's rugged appearance," as if the legendarily capable SUV wasn't rugged enough. Other changes include redesigned headlight clusters, stronger character lines along the sides, new taillights and license plate "garnish" in back, and a slew of new wheel choices. Both the three- and five-door are 20 millimeters longer, all of that in the front overhang, but the approach angle apparently hasn't changed.
The new organization of trims runs from Entry to Legend, Prestige and Executive. The interior has been reorganized with better seats in the second and third rows, a new upper center console, a redesigned panel for controlling on- and off-road driving functions, reworked Optitron meters with a 4.2-inch LCD screen, and new switchgear, fabrics and color schemes. Infotainment has been upgraded with Toyota Touch 2 and Toyota Touch 2 with Go. They mirror your smartphone if said phone happens to be either a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2.
On-road driving dynamics have been improve with suspension changes, and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert added to the suite of safety features for maneuvering the beast. When it comes to the Land Cruiser's real reason for being, the five Multi-terrain Select choices and five-step Crawl Control are more easily used with a Multi-terrain Monitor reworked for more clarity.
