DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS AND INTEND TO PURCHASE. This is not a fire sale it was difficult for the owner to make the decision to sell her car. Her husband, one of my very best friends, passed away a few months ago and she is selling the MR2 because their SUV is currently more practical. So please don't play games. If you want a "buy it now" email me with a phone number.

I am listing this car for the original owner, a very close family friend. The car was purchased new by her and has been well cared for as the photos will indicate.

As noted in the "defects area the only item on this car requiring attention is the front facia which has the usual damage inflicted by years of driving. We considered repainting the front facia prior to selling (cost of $350) but then the question of damage or an accident could be asked. So take a look at the photos, repainting the facia will bring the cars finish to a very nice level.

This car has never been in an accident and drives straight and stops true. The motor and drive train has been well maintained with regular service and only minor maintenance items needed during its life such as a MAP sensor and Oxygen sensor replacement. The water pump was replaced as well as the usual belts, brake pads and service items. The car retains its original clutch and shifts as it should. I do not know the life of a clutch in an MR2 but there is no slippage or chatter indicating a need for service.

New rear tires were installed at 116,877 miles and front tires have about 60% wear remaining. A new top was installed in May of 2012 at a cost of $1620.00. The fit is perfect.

The interior is in excellent condition with no dash cracks, no fading and just the normal wear on the seats with no tears. The car was always garage kept and is owned by a non-smoker. Everything on the car works as it should.

There are no defects, rock chips in the windshield or door glass

While there are some tiny marks on the wheels there is no "curb rash" where the wheels have been ground against a curb.

If you are looking for a very clean and desirable ONE OWNER MR2 requiring very little effort to make it a near perfect example this is the car for you. The car shows like one with half the miles. You will not be disappointed.

I invite and recommend a personal inspection. The car is located in Mission Viejo, California. While I have endeavored to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible I once again recommend a personal inspection and am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

Please do not bid on this car unless you have the ability to complete the transaction. By bidding you are committed to purchase if you are the winning bidder and you should consider this a binding contract.

There is no warranty expressed or implied.

This vehicle is advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason.

Toyota reveals latest autonomous tech test bed

Fri, Mar 3 2017

Toyota revealed its latest autonomous technology effort Friday, a sophisticated Lexus LS 600hL prototype that showcases its plans to advance in the emerging field. The Lexus is the first developed entirely by the company's in-house Toyota Research Institute and it will focus on the car's ability to learn and see behavior on the road. Toyota is showing the car at the Prius Challenge event at Sonoma Raceway. The Lexus uses Lidar, radar, and sensors, which potentially reduce reliance on mapping. The prototype advances Toyota's last concept vehicle shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2013. This one is said to be more flexible and it will focus on Toyota's two autonomous tech pillars, called Guardian and Chauffeur. Guardian is meant to improve safety features, while Chauffeur moves toward full autonomy. "We believe Guardian can probably be deployed sooner and more widely than Chauffeur, providing high-level driver-assist features capable of helping mitigate collisions and save lives, sooner rather than later," Toyota Research Institute Gill Pratt said in a statement.

Camry, Avalon Hybrids involved in stop-sale of 50,000 Toyota vehicles

Thu, Jan 30 2014

A number of popular Toyota vehicles can currently not be sold thanks to something called a "stop-sale" order. The reason is that the seat heater on these vehicles - which include the 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, Sienna, Corolla, Tacoma and Tundra models - "does not meet a provision of US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) requiring materials to retard flame at a specified rate." In other words, the seat heater could burn too fast. There have been no reports of fires or injuries due to the issue. Toyota told AutoblogGreen that around 50,000 vehicles are affected. No Scion or Lexus vehicles have the problem. The exact fix has not been identified, but Toyota said it is preparing a modification for all vehicles still on dealer lots, but there has not yet been an official recall. Instead, Toyota filed a "Non-Compliance Information Report" with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today. You can read Toyota's official statement below. Toyota and NHTSA are also looking at around 30,000 2007-2008 model year Camry Hybrids for brake issues. Seat Heater Non-Compliance Issue Creates Temporary Stop Sale On Certain Toyota Models January 30, 2014 Toyota has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it has initiated a stop sale of certain Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, Sienna, Tacoma and Tundra vehicles equipped with seat heaters in order to address a non-compliance issue. In involved vehicles, the seat heater, which is a small portion of the soft materials of the seat assembly, does not meet a provision of U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) requiring materials to retard flame at a specified rate. Toyota is preparing a modification for this condition, which will be implemented on all covered vehicles in dealer inventory. There have been no reports globally of any related incidents in the field with units in operation. Per NHTSA regulations, Toyota will file a Non-Compliance Information Report today.

Toyota Matrix not long for this world?

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

According to a report from AutoGuide, Toyota doesn't have plans to replace the aging Matrix hatchback in the United States after this year. If true, the timing coincides with the replacement for the Corolla, on which the Matrix is based, with that car slated to get its first complete redesign since 2006 (2008 in the US market).
We'd love to tell you how many Matrix models were sold by Toyota in the United States last year, but the automaker chooses to bundle Matrix sales with Corolla sales, so we have no idea. That said, we have to assume sales of the hatchback don't contribute much overall to the total number of Corolla-based machines.
We're also unsure if Toyota will choose to exit the youth-oriented compact hatchback market entirely, or if the automaker will rely instead on its hybrid Prius line and Scion models like the xB and xD.
