For Sale is a 1997 Toyota Avalon.  I am the third owner.  I purchased it in 2004 and bought it from a guy who had bought it from his sister.  It has more than 205,000 miles and counting (it is still a daily driver).  It starts with zero issue and has been frequently driven from Chicago to Indianapolis or St. Louis with no issues or reservations about the car making the trip.  I recently replaced the rear 2 tires and the front 2 have only 10,000 miles on them.  The car has been routinely taken in for service (i.e. oil change) and has 1 year old brakes and steering.  I put in a new stereo, which is nice.  It allows you to play music through a memory stick, android and/or iphone.  There are 2 usb connections (1 in dash and 1 in the glove box) and 1 aux jack for a 3.5mm input connection.  

There is an issue with the exhaust.  A new "down pipe" is needed.  In layman's terms, at idle, the car is a little loud, on the interstate, you can't tell that there is any problem at all.  If I was going to keep the car, I would have it fixed, but I am not going to keep the car.
I am selling this car because I am old enough to have a nicer car.  As much as I love this vehicle, I drive too many people around for work to shuttle them around in a 15 year old car.  It just runs, and I love it for that, but it is time.  I have absolute confidence that you can drive this car wherever.  Everything works, air conditioning, power everything, heat, steering...  No warning lights are on.

I can provide more pictures if you would like.  I live in the Logan Square area of Chicago (California and Diversey).  Please let me know if you have any questions.  The car is sold as is and I will help you arrange shipping, but I do not have the resources or network to provide shipping.  I am a 15 minute L train ride from Chicago's O'Hare airport and a 45 minute train ride from Midway airport.  Andy 773.234.5265

Toyota may put Mirai hydrogen fuel cell powertrain into a Lexus

Wed, Dec 24 2014

Toyota is hoping to define the world of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with its uniquely styled Mirai sedan in a fashion similar to the way the Prius pops into people's minds when they think of a hybrid. The Japanese automaker believes it can sell about 700 FCEVs worldwide in the first year alone and build rapidly from there to an estimated 3,000 sales in the US by 2017. Of course, not everyone is completely enamored with the Mirai's design. Toyota is rumored to have an alternative in the works to quell some of those naysayers, possibly taking flagship form with a new Lexus LS powered by fuel-cell tech. The LS FCEV could be unveiled by 2017 to sit at the very top of brand's lineup. According to an inside source speaking to the Australian website Motoring, the front end would feature larger air intakes to cool the electrical components. The fuel cell would reportedly be positioned under the front seat, and the hydrogen tanks would be located under and behind the rear seat. Somehow, Motoring claims that all of this might be lighter than the current LS600hL hybrid, to the tune about 440 pounds. The model is also claimed to offer a range of about 239 miles, just a bit shy of the Mirai's roughly 300 miles. Assuming this vehicle actually exists, the cost for buyers of this flagship would almost certainly ring up at more than the LS600hL's $120,440 base price. Autoblog has reached out to Toyota for any further info about this rumor, one way or the other. If we hear back, we'll update this story with the details.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.

Santa swaps his sleigh for a Ferrari-powered Toyota

Fri, Dec 23 2016

A Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 is sure to garner a bit of attention, as well it should. We've been paying attention throughout this build, so it should be no surprise then that Santa did as well. He's ditched his red sleigh for the Gumout GT4586 in this video. If you've been following along, you know that Ryan Tuerck and Gumout built this completely bonkers machine that's far more exciting than some previous Japanese/Italian mash-up automobiles. Donut Media has been doing their part to document and promote every stage of the process. This new video is filled with the gratuitous amounts of lights, noise, and tire smoke that Donut is known for. We don't know the conversion from horsepower to reindeerpower, but the GT4586 should provide plenty of oomph for Santa's Christmas trek.
