2006 Toyota Avalon Touring Sedan in excellent condition with 126,000 miles. While I can describe the car, I would encourage you to Google the car and read all the positive reviews and features. The car has the 3.5 liter motor that delivers 268 HP and gets 30 mpg on the highway. It has a timing chain instead of a belt which lowers maintenance costs. It even uses regular gasoline.

It is extremely comfortable with leather seats. The front ones are 12-way powers and have power adjustable lumbar support. The rears actually recline and have separate heating and AC controls and vents. The floor is flat. Dual climate controls are easy to use and the radio sound quality is fantastic. It is like driving around your living room. I wanted the touring sedan for the suspension upgrades. The car is Blue Mirage Metallic although I always find it amusing the names that the manufacturers come up with for paint colors. It is light metallic blue and there aren't any mirages. The paint is glossy and looks great. There are two small parking lot dents and a 3 inch scratch on the bumper.

The tires are Goodyear performance all seasons and are about 85%. Replaced the brakes about 9,000 miles ago and have records showing the scheduled maintenance has been completed.

I live in Tonasket Washington which is 22 miles south of the Canadian border in the north central part of Washington State. It takes five hours to drive east over the Cascade Mountains from Seattle and three hours to continue east to Spokane. I would consider delivering the car for expenses since it is so great to drive.

If you are serious about the car, you are welcome to call me at 509-560-0080. My name is Mike. Please don't call me with offers of trades, take payments or asking me to donate the car to a worthy cause. It would waste both of our time and only result in unnecessary conflict.

My reserve price is$ 10,500. I priced the car and found them with more miles for more money. Thank you for reading this long story and good luck bidding.

Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
