We are selling our 1998 Toyota RAV4. We are sad to see her go, but we just bought a new Kia Soul and are putting this one up for sale. It has all wheel drive, automatic 4-speed transmission, cold A/C, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power sliding/tilting moonroof, keyless entry, alarm system, factory tint, alloy wheels, AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD player, good speakers, rear tires at 80%, front tires at 50%, spare tire is new (tire has never touched the ground), still has the factory suitcases that attached to inside of rear door (see photo). Rear seats flip forward for large cargo space (see photo). This car has been in our family for 9 years, we have taken good care of it, we are nonsmokers, and we don't take it off paved roads. There is no rust, and the car has never been flooded. Oil is changed regularly; CV joints and front struts replaced January 2014. This has been a reliable car for us--we do not hesitate to take it on road trips. It has a current inspection sticker and is ready to drive anywhere. The cruise control works but the on/off switch is broken (I can show you how to use the cruise control when you pick up the car). The hinge on the center armrest is broken, so the armrest lifts off instead of swinging back (see photo). There is a dent and scratch on the hood over the passenger headlight (see photo). There is a chip in the windshield (see photo) but it is not in the driver's line of sight, and the clear coat on the roof is peeling in a spot (see photo) but it is not visible unless you're 6'6" tall. The check engine light is on. It was on when we bought it and we replaced the oxygen sensor and it went off. Two years later the light came back on for the same reason. Our mechanic suggested we just let the light stay on and keep the $250 and it has been on ever since. The rear door squeaks. This is a city car so it has its fair share of dings and scratches (see photos). A couple of years ago our neighbor dented in the fender while the car was parked in front of our house--this was repaired professionally (paid for by insurance). Otherwise, the car has not been involved in any accidents. There are no stains or tears on the upholstery. The driver's floormat is missing; the other three are there plus the large cargo mat is there, too. We have clean title in hand, car is ready to go! I put the eBay app on my phone so I'll be able to answer questions fairly quickly if you have one. Thanks for looking!

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Next Lotus Elise to draw from its roots

Wed, Jul 27 2016

Recently-appointed Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales told Autocar that work on the new Lotus Elise, which is coming in 2020, is already underway, and thanks to growing sales, the automaker is set to make a profit for the first time in 20 years. Gales also dropped some details about the new sports cars' design philosophy and underpinnings. According to the report, the new Elise will utilize the same aluminum chassis technology found in the original Elise and won't bear any resemblance to the 2010 Elise concept. Instead, the upcoming vehicle will uphold its roots with a lightweight design that emphasizes driver involvement at an affordable price. The new Elise is rumored to weigh in at roughly 1,984 pounds, almost 384 pounds more than the original Elise. In order to meet US crash ratings, the Elise will most likely be wider, but have the same length as the current model. Power will probably come from a Toyota unit producing between 134 horsepower and 245 horsepower. The Elise is expected to come to the US where it will be offered with a manual and automatic transmission, which will both come from Toyota as well. Gales claims Lotus has more orders now than in any year in the last 10 years, with the US being one of the automaker's most important markets. Related Video:
