You are looking at a 2009 Toyota Corolla XRS that had an engine failure. The car is the top of the line model XRS that has the upgraded 2.4L 4 cylinder engine and sport suspension, brakes, and a few other touches that make it stand out from the other models. This one has been driven a lot- 132000 miles and it has some wear and tear but has held up well. It has not been in an accident, has original paint, and driven on the highway a lot. The paint has scratches here and there but most notably there are long scratches on the hood (see pic) and some on the roof from dragging something across it when the paint was dirty. The roof has very minor hail damage but there is no hail on the rest of the car. The front left fender has a small 2 inch dent. The front bumper lower valences or ground effects have both been bumped and are loose. The front bumper has plenty of nicks from rocks but is in good condition. The only other body dent issue to note is the right rear door has a 4 inch or so dent (see pic). There are some decent scratches on the rear bumper valence on the bottom left. (see pic). The paint otherwise will shine up nicely. The interior could use some cleaning but is fairly clean already, and is in good condition. It has black cloth seats that are made of quality cloth and are in good condition. The carpet has a few stains. The carpet and the floor mat under the drivers pedals has a wear mark that goes all the way through the fabric. The dash is in good condition. Options include a 6 disc cd changer, bluetooth hand free system with voice activation, XM capable stereo, AC, Sunroof, power mirrors, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, keyless entry (with one FOB), two glove boxes, and lots of cup holders. The passenger side door hinge limiter (that keeps the door from opening too far) is broken in half and needs to be replaced.
Mechanically- The engine through a rod through the block and is not repairable. It needs a new engine and does not start. It has a 5 speed automatic transmission, stability control (with a switch to turn it off), and anti-lock brakes. The wheels are the XRS-only 17 inch aluminum wheels with 215/45/17 tires. The tires need to be replaced immediately.
Overall this car has a lot of potential to either be a great car for the buyer or to make money if the intention is to fix and sell. Please look up many different online appraisal estimates and then also search for other cars like this for sale to see what they are selling for. The XRS trim line is uncommon and often sells for more then book value because of this. Sold as is, not running, and needs to be towed at the buyers expense. I will coopereate with any shipping arrangements made by the buyer at the buyers expense. Please ask any pertinent questions prior to bidding and I will get back to you ASAP! Thank you very much for looking!

Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank
Sat, 14 Jun 2014We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.
Toyota retires robots in favor of humans to improve automaking process
Sat, 12 Apr 2014Mitsuru Kawai is overseeing a return to the old ways at Toyota factories throughout Japan. Having spent 50 years at the Japanese automaker, Kawai remembers when manual skills were prized at the company and "experienced masters used to be called gods, and they could make anything." Company CEO Akio Toyoda personally chose Kawai to develop programs to teach workers metalcraft such as how to forge a crankshaft from scratch, and 100 workstations that formerly housed machines have been set aside for human training.
The idea is that when employees personally understand the fabrication of components, they will understand how to make better machines. Said Kawai, "To be the master of the machine, you have to have the knowledge and the skills to teach the machine." Lessons learned by the newly skilled workers have led to shorter production lines - in one case, 96percent shorter - improved parts production and less scrap.
Taking time to give workers the knowledge to solve problems instead of merely having them "feed parts into a machine and call somebody for help when it breaks down," Kawai's initiative is akin to that of Toyota's Operations Management Consulting Division, where new managers are given a length of time to finish a project but not given any help - they have to learn on their own. It's not a step back from Toyota's quest to build more than ten million cars a year; it's an effort to make sure that this time they don't sacrifice quality while making the effort. Said Kawai, "We need to become more solid and get back to basics."
Aging Prius, dropping gas prices putting hurt on hybrid, EV sales
Fri, 24 Oct 2014
"As Prius represents by far the biggest chunk of the hybrid marketplace, where Prius goes, the segment goes," - Ed Kim, Autopacific
Fuel prices in the US have been tumbling for the last several weeks, with the average price of a gallon of gas at $3.120 as of October 20, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That price reflects a serious recent drop from $3.299 on October 6. Reports have even suggested that those low numbers might not change for a little while, perhaps as long as years. While drivers certainly love paying less at the pump, the change may be hurting the market for more fuel-efficient models, including the Toyota Prius.
