This car has a clean and clear title with no thefts.  It was purchased originally in Folsom, Ca and has been continuously registered in California ever since. There was a minor accident in December of 2013 involving the left rear side of the car.  This has been repaired and a new bumper cover installed.

It is an absolute California Rust-Free Car.  AutoCheck and CarFax both show the date of a cars emissions tests and the mileage when taken and any sales that occurred.  With this car there were no sales, however there was one transfer from the original owner to his son. So it is best to state that as a simple within  family transfer in 2007.

As these reports show the progressive mileage readings through the years and that is as close to a certification of the present mileage as you can get in that if the mileage had been altered you should see the mileage either not advancing over time or even dropping if the odometer had been replaced.  That is a reliable record because it comes from the online records of a state agency, and there are no gaps. Cars from other states, such as Pennsylvania and many other states, may get smoged even every year, but the mileage is only recorded when there has been a transfer of ownership and it is easy in that case to alter the mileage and it not be uncovered in the reports from many states, but it goes a long way in explaining why there are so many apparently low mileage cars coming from certain states. But with this car, it had its mileage recorded every two years, in California, and so, that becomes a much more reliable record.

Please note, In California 1996 and newer cars receive what is called a Star Emissions Test every two years.  This test is quite vigorous and involves being tested on a Dynometer, and because of the vigor of that test, it is deemed sufficient every two years, assuming no transfer of ownership is involved.

The following info is that record.

July           2007        46,400
March       2009        59,873
February   2011        87,437
March       2013       104,726
December 2013 Minor Accident at  approximately 110,000 miles.

So, if your looking for a low mileage car, make sure that it is truly low mileage before you pay the price for a pig in a poke. This one is the real McCoy! 

Although it is difficult for me to say that 110,000 is low mileage it is comparatively low mileage when you look at most cars on the market. Please realize that there are many, many of these Toyota V6 cars being sold with over 300,000 miles today, and it is that dependability, combined with fuel efficiency, that is what makes those cars with even over 300,000 miles on  them. With 200,000 miles they appear to be worth as much as about half the price of this one with just 110,000, although I personally would be not comfortable with buying at 200,000 miles, many are. When I do meet someone who is an original owner with one of these 300,000 mile plus cars, and I frequently do,  I always ask them..." What, are you waiting for, the Govenor's Pardon to release you before you get out of this torture chamber? "

But seriously, I really don't think you can do better than this one at $6,500. It has everything and everything works , even the cruise control works perfectly.

The car is amazing! The low miles are absolutely real and the smog tests, and a physical inspection, proved that this car was very well maintained. There are no leaks and everything works.

Whether  you want a car for your collection, or to be a daily driver, I doubt you will find a better car to purchase at under $10,000. 

Options:  Power Driver's Seat, Automatic, AC, Am/Fm w/CD, 3.0L V6, Alloy Wheels, White with Beige Interior.

Zombie cars: Discontinued vehicles that aren't dead yet

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.

Toyota NA CEO says his excitement for hydrogen sedan is rising

Fri, Apr 4 2014

Toyota has an undeniable vested interest in seeing its hydrogen sedan succeed when it goes on sale in the US next year, so it's no surprise that the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, says that he's got more hope for the car now than ever before. And if we remember ways that others in the company, like Bob Carter, have loudly sung hydrogen's praises, we have to assume that positivity is running awful high in Torrance. In fact, Lentz said that the US side of the company is far more excited by the H2 car than colleagues in Japan. Speaking at The Wall Street Journal's ECO:nomics conference in Santa Barbara, CA this week, Lentz said: After we've seen the product, understand its range, its driving dynamics, its refueling, we're a lot more bullish than Japan - probably about fivefold more bullish. It's just a question of how many can be produced now. Well, we've driven this car, and we still feel that Toyota is placing a big bet on the technology. One important issue is cost, but Lentz would not say exactly how much the car costs to make or what it will be priced at. He did say, though, that the production cost has dropped by 95 percent from the $1 million price tag the car wore ten years ago. That hints at a production cost of around $50,000. Lentz also said he thinks it will take at least a decade for hydrogen vehicles to hit sales of 500,000 per year in the US. Speaking to Bloomberg, he said: Their acceptance could get off to a quicker start than the hybrids did. I think you're going to see a lot more marketing of the concept of fuel cell much sooner than you did for hybrids, because basically the whole industry is behind it.

China's largest dealer body pushes back against foreign automakers over huge inventories

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Do not think for a second that automakers forcing inventory on dealers in order to pad the numbers is a ruse known only in the US. Stories of individual brands have hinted at the trouble Chinese dealerships are having trying to move units as the country's economic growth remains hot but comes off the boil, like the one revealing that 95 percent of Toyota-FAW showrooms are losing money. Yet Toyota isn't the only culprit, and the issue has become so dire that the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), the largest dealer body in the country, has written to the government to complain. Chinese car sales are expected to close out the year with an annualized growth of six-percent, down from last year's 14 percent when targets were set, while in the background the pace of overall economic expansion is the slowest its been since the early nineties. Automakers, shipping cars on schedule to make their earlier targets, have blown up inventories such that they are an average of 1.8 times monthly sales, when the preferred multiplier is from 0.9 to 1.2. According to the CADA, the price wars and necessary incentives mean that only 30 percent of dealers are operating in the black. That number is down a whopping forty percent since 2010. In response, Toyota has already said it will not make its 2014 target of 1.1 million cars sold. We're a long way from 2012, when Toyota planned on selling 1.8 million cars in China in 2015, a target that's now as realistic as a manticore. BMW, Honda and Nissan have erased numbers on their spreadsheets, too; BMW growth dropped from 20 percent to 8 percent midyear after it began "reducing wholesale supplies," and Honda has been reworking its plans as sales have decreased each of the past six months. It's a big deal for Chinese dealers to begin protesting publicly, the CADA saying, "In the past, dealers were angry, but dared not speak out. But now, they have to shout because the situation is getting so unbearable." With six-percent growth forecast for next year and dealers unwilling to remain underwater, The Year of the Sheep coming in 2015 could portend meaning beyond the zodiac.
