Her name is Lucy and she is one tough babe.  She enjoys long drives along the beach, breathing in the mountain air, road trips to anywhere, camping and taking good care of her driver.

Runs great, drives great.  Don't let the mileage fool you, you will watch the odometer go all the way back around to 0 on this car and she'll keep going.  These engines last forever!  This is a very reliable car and I have most of the maintenance records.  The only other owner was my mother before she gave the car to me.

Before clicking "buy now" please email me for my phone # to ask questions or set up a time to view – TakeRedHome@aol.com.

Feel free to bring your mechanic and inspect the car on-site or we can take it to a mechanic of your choice.  Again, the car is located in Westminster, CA.


Here are the specifics on the car:

4 cylinder

4 speed Automatic transmission

Clean title

247k miles

 

Pros:

 - Great gas mileage! - 26 City/33 HWY

 - Engine and transmission in great shape

 - Ice cold A/C!

 - Brand new CD/USB/AUX AM FM radio - hook your iPod up to it!

 - Polk Audio UV resistant speakers

 - K&N air filter (improved performance, never needs replacing)

 - Well maintained

 - The interior is very clean and in great shape.  No tears in the seats

 - Just passed smog in July

 - Just did oil change

 

Cons:

The car is in great working condition with normal wear and tear.  Only minor inexpensive maintenance should be performed soon:

- replace left outer CV boot

- 2 new tires

- alignment

 

Other negatives to note about the car:

- There is a slight oil leak which will take some labor to repair as it's between the engine and tranny.  The leak is not bad at all, just a drop or 2 per day.  As long as you continue to change the oil regularly, every 3K miles or so, you will not get low on oil.  But if you don't want oil on your driveway, you'll want it fixed.

- Rear driver side fender bent slightly.  This happened shortly after buying the car in ’93 and it's not causing any problems, it's merely aesthetics.  No frame damage.

- Rear bumper paint is peeling.

- Brakes squeak briefly sometimes when cold.

 - Every once in a while the power steering pump hums slightly so it will eventually need to be replaced down the road but most likely not for a while.  Mechanic couldn't couldn't say when, could be a year or 2 or longer.   The power steering works great now and the pump does not need replacing at this time.

- The dome light works, it just does not come on when driver’s side door is open, but it comes on when the other doors are open.  If you need the light on with driver’s door open, simply switch it to “on”. 

 

 There you have it.  Honestly, this is a great car that won’t let you down.  If you take good care of her like I did, she will take good care of you.

Car thief caught in McDonald's drive-thru after placing order with owner

Mon, 20 May 2013

If you're going to drive a stolen car in a town of roughly 77,000 people - about the same size as Scranton, Pennsylvania or Ogden, Utah - you want to be very careful about where you drive that stolen car to eat. That's the lesson Katherine York of Kennewick, Washington learned when she was arrested for being in possession of a stolen Toyota 4Runner that also happened to have a bunch of stolen clothes from JC Penney and Sears in it.
Virginia Maiden woke up Tuesday, May 14 to find her 1995 4Runner - that she thought she forgot to lock - swiped from her apartment building. At 3 PM that afternoon, while working her shift at the drive-thru at McDonald's that day, she saw her truck in line. York hadn't even gone far - the McDonald's is not even five miles from Maiden's apartment. Maiden called the police, they showed up just as York was leaving, and York made another vehicle switch, this time into a black-and-white for a trip to the Benton County jail. They don't have McDonald's there, but she won't have so far to go to eat.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

2015 Toyota Prius C is still colorful, still gets 53 mpg

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Few vehicles can match the affordable fuel economy of the $19,000, 53-mile-per-gallon Toyota Prius C, and that fact isn't likely to change for 2015, as the Japanese company has issued a moderate refresh of its sub-compact hybrid.
As mid-cycle refreshes go, this is a pretty standard affair, with a larger grille and tweaked LED headlights at the front of the Prius C, and more expressive taillights at the back. Toyota made some minor changes in the cabin, updating materials throughout, but not fiddling too much with the overall level of equipment.
Aside from those modest changes, this is the same fuel-efficient five-door, retaining its 1.5-liter, 73-horsepower, 82-pound-foot four-cylinder, while an electric motor tosses in an extra 26 ponies, for a total system output of 99 horsepower. Along with the 53-mpg highway rating, the C will return 46 mpg in the city.
