I'm the second owner of this 2010 Toyota Prius.  It's in good condition with about 78,000 miles.  I bought it from the original owner (a doctor).  I've driven this on quite a few long trips.  It drives great, gets amazing gas mileage, and is EXTREMELY reliable.  I've never had an issue.  My local Toyota dealership did a free test on the battery and found it to be in excellent condition with minimal degradation.  They told they only replaced 2 batteries on the 3rd generation Prius.  Both batteries had more than 200,000 miles.

FEATURES:

Features include:  Gray leather seats, bluetooth, power windows/locks, upgraded JBL stereo system, cruise, XM satellite radio.  It has the push button start with smart key.  You can keep your key in your pocket or purse.  Awesome feature.

CONDITION:

It has wear and tear typical of a car of its age and mileage.  It has some dings, dents, and scratches.  It looks great though and still shines like a new car.  No accidents!  There is a small, repaired hole in the driver's seat base (caused by a small key attached to a belt loop).  OEM leather was placed between the hole and cushion.

CONFESSIONS FROM A FORMER PRIUS HATER:

I used to get stuck behind Priuses no matter where I went.  I used to curse the name. However, my wife and I rented one during a vacation and we loved it. So, I bought a used one to be my wife's car.  I'm now sold on the Prius. These are the reasons:

  • It's easy to drive.  Turning radius is significantly better than any car I've driven.  Steering is smooth and seamless.  It has ample power.  In power mode, it drives like a normal car.
  • It's fun to play with the hybrid system. You can play with the power and watch the mileage go up.  If you are in heavy traffic, switch to EV mode.  While everyone is frustrated over the traffic and idling car, this car is operating off of its self-generated electrical power.  The regenerative brakes reduce wear and tear on your brake pads while charging the battery. 
  • It's well made.  I'm a Honda fan and unfortunately, this Toyota's fit and finish has Honda beat.  The interior screams quality.  Exterior sheet metal is light, but the car feels solid.
  • It's very roomy.  Back seats fold flat.  Cargo area is almost the same as a small SUV.  If you want to throw a lawn mower in there, you can.  If you're going on a weekend trip, it holds a ton of suitcases even with one of the rear seats up.
  • Cost of ownership is unbelievably low.  Suppose your driving a 15 MPG SUV and you drive 20 miles each way to work.  It costs you about $10/day for gasoline.  With the Prius, that commute now costs $2.50/day.  This car saves $45/week - $195/month - $2300/year.  I've ranged between 50-65 MPG in mixed driving.  It's actually quite hard to get lower than 50 MPG.  Depreciation is less than $1,000/year.

PAYMENT:

Payment is via certified check or cash only.  I have the title clear in my name.  The price is very good.  It is LESS than dealer auction prices!  You can probably find one with a lower price, but buyer beware - be very cautious of the prior rental Priuses and those with salvage or rebuilt titles.

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.

2015 Toyota Auris freshens up in Geneva, prepares for New York debut

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Toyota is preparing to bring its Auris hatchback to the US market as a Scion. That makes news of this refreshed Auris, debuting at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, a fairly noteworthy piece of news. Changes are decidedly light, befitting of a refresh. Toyota has tweaked the headlights, taillights and both bumpers for 2015, featuring a wider grille up front. In the cabin, changes are similarly limited, with updated connectivity equipment, particularly the area around the infotainment system, being the biggest change. A new instrument cluster looks to have been installed, as well. Aside from those changes, though, Toyota didn't do too much to the Auris. You can check out our full gallery of live images for Geneva, and you'll want to be sure to check back here next month, for the official coverage of the Auris-based Scion iM when it debuts at the 2015 New York Auto Show. NEW TOYOTA AURIS TO JOIN NEW AVENSIS ON STAGE AT GENEVA Motor show debut for British-built Auris hatchback and wagon Toyota will reveal its new Auris at the Geneva motor show (3 – 15 March), the British-built hatchback and Touring Sports wagon versions making their debut alongside new Avensis. New Auris enjoys a refreshed design that adds presence and prestige, together with an upgraded cabin and new comfort and safety equipment features. The hybrid remains at the heart of the range, having established itself as the leading powertrain in the line-up, accounting for around half of all Auris sales in Europe in 2014. Nonetheless, the new model heralds the arrival of new and improved petrol and diesel engines, developed with a focus on efficiency and performance. The simultaneous reveal of new Auris and Avensis follows on from last year's introduction of Aygo and Yaris to complete a full rejuvenation of Toyota's core European model range. Both Auris and Avensis will continue to be built side by side at Toyota Manufacturing UK's car plant at Burnaston, near Derby. Toyota will host its Geneva motor show press conference on its stand in Hall 4 at Palexpo, at 12.15pm on 3 March. Related Video:
