2010 Toyota Prius up for sale. It's in good condition with about 78,000 miles. I had it fully inspected by the Toyota Dealership in Annapolis and it was given the all clear. I've driven it up to Vermont a couple times and I wouldn't hesitate driving it across country. I purchased it from the original owner (a doctor) earlier this year. I don't want to sell, but I was transferred to the West Coast.

It has gray leather seats, bluetooth, power windows/locks, upgraded JBL stereo system, cruise. It has the push button start with smart key.

Full Disclosure: It has dings, a couple small dents, and scratches. It wasn't a city car, but it was used for commuting. There's a small hole on the driver's seat (caused by a key attached to a belt loop). I bought OEM leather to repair it but did not get around to it. For now, there's OEM replacement leather between the hole and the seat cushion. It is solely an aesthetic issue, the hole will not get bigger and you don't notice it unless you look at it.

I've ranged between 50-65 MPG in mixed driving. Over the last 20,000 miles, I've averaged about 52 MPG. That includes the lower gas mileage from the winter blend gasoline and the cold weather. Since the spring, it averages about 57 MPG. Toyota engineered a marvel - it's one of the most reliable cars on the road!

For the frugal folks out there. This Prius cost about $0.06/mile for fuel (@ $3.50/gal). Depreciation is less than $1,000/year. If you're a commuter, this car is an obvious choice.

Payment is via certified check or cash only. I have the title clear in my name. The price is actually less than what these sell for at Manheim dealer auction! See attached screenshot. The car will be available for purchase/pickup after September 14th.

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."

2015 Toyota Camry ushers in 'sweeping redesign' [w/poll]

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

With a dozen years atop the nation's best-selling car charts, you might think that there wouldn't be a lot of incentive for Toyota to rework its Camry, particularly so early in the life of the current model. But despite its unassailable sales totals, the midsize sedan has come in for substantial criticism for its milquetoast dynamics, piecemeal interiors and bland design.
As part of CEO Akio Toyoda's mantra to build more exciting cars, the 2015 Camry has arrived with a fresh new look and content that goes far beyond the Japanese automaker's typically slight mid-cycle redesigns. Featuring some 2,000 new parts, the 2015 Camry casts a 1.8-inch longer shadow and stretches across a widened track (0.4 inches). And it won't be just the widened track that should help deliver a more dynamic performance - Toyota is citing a stiffer chassis thanks to additional spot welds along with a rejiggered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a new two-stage brake booster for improved braking feel.
A new XSE trim promises the sportiest performance yet, including model-specific shock absorbers and springs, stiffer bushings, unique stability control programming and 18-inch wheels to go along with a unique front end treatment featuring mesh grille inserts and a revised fascia.

Next Toyota Prius may get optional all-wheel drive

Tue, Jul 15 2014

We've been hearing rumors about the next generation of the Toyota Prius for the last couple of years on a pretty regular basis. From the expectation of lithium-ion battery packs with more capacity for electric-only miles to wireless charging and more emotional styling, there's been no shortage of talking points for the car that's expected to see its first light of day at the very end of 2015 (we hope). But one thing we've yet to hear about, until now that is, is all-wheel drive. According to a report from Automotive News, Koei Saga, senior managing officer in charge of powertrain development of the Prius, said in an interview last week, "I think we will possibly do [all-wheel drive]" for the car's next generation. There isn't any further indication on how the AWD system would work, but we'd put our money on something similar, at least in principle, to the E-Four system that just debuted on the 2015 Lexus NX 300h, which uses an electric motor mounted at the rear to power the car's back wheels when the front wheels lose traction. The AN report also repeats a rumor we've heard before – that Toyota may offer two different battery pack options in its next Prius, one using lithium-ion chemistry and one using the nickel metal hydride technology that the Prius has featured from its very beginning. While the automaker has yet to talk efficiency, it's natural to expect more capacity for EV driving from newer lithium-based technology over that of nickel-based packs to go along with what we'd also expect would be a somewhat higher price. We're sure you're just as curious about the next Prius as much as we are, and so we'll leave you with these words, again from Saga: "The batteries will be renewed. Everything will be revised. And I think we will come up with a fuel economy that will surprise everyone."
