** 2010 Toyota Prius V - Fully Loaded - Rare Advanced Technology Package ** on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
I'm the second owner and honestly just bought the car six months ago. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it - I basically just wanted a newer car for my commute and although I can afford it (well, not technically - thanks Dave Ramsey!), the luster has worn off and I'd rather save the car payment money. I currently drive 40k miles a year and that is about to double! The car is getting me the mileage that I expected - my 6 month / 16k mile average is a hand calculated 45.5mpg - and this is 90% interstate! Thanks to the warmer weather and the move away from winter fuel, my last 5 tanks have averaged over 47mpg. I wish I drove more city, b/c it performs even better!! My main issue is I am having second thoughts on driving a newer car like this into the ground w/ my commute. I also have an older VW TDI and it's long been paid off. I was going to sell it, but I'll "ruin" it instead and save the car payment money for repairs down the road. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with the Prius. It currently has 83k miles and may go up slightly. I honestly searched for several months to find it. There were five packages offered for this model year - I, II, III, IV and V. This is the top of the line V. So that means it has 17" wheels, proximity keyless entry (never take the key out of your pocket - doors unlock as you walk up and it has push button start), navigation, satellite radio, bluetooth, backup camera, heated leather seats, power lumbar in the seats, pop-up headlight washers and LED headlights (not HID.....LED!!). On top of ALLLL of that, it has the rare Advanced Technology Package. This is truly why I bought the car. With my commute on the interstate, it gets pretty boring. Boring can be unsafe. The ATP includes adaptive cruise control (it slows or speeds up with traffic), lane keep assist (it will beep if you drift and even steer the car to stay in your lane!) and also has automatic parking (parallel and backing in - my girlfriend loves this option). It literally has every option offered for the car (Toyota offered a solar powered roof, but only on IV models - not V - I have no idea why). As you can see in the pictures, the windows are tinted. It was factory maintained by the original owners and the only things I have done is change the oil with Mobil 1 full synthetic and add a K&N air filter (15-20k mile filter changes could add up, so I bought this solely for economics). The tires were new when I bought it, so I sold the factory wheels and had a set of black and polished 17" mesh wheels installed. In my opinion, it is one of the best looking Prius that I have ever seen. I have a clean CarFax from when I bought it. There are no title issues. My credit union holds the title, but I have bought and sold a lot of cars over the years and it is a painless process with them. I'm just looking to get what I owe on it, so $16.5 is where I am right now. We can draft a Bill of Sale and send your payment overnight to the credit union. They will then overnight the title to you....at least this is how it has worked in the past. It's been a few years since I have sold a car that I owed money on. I know Florida has an option for electronic titles, so it may be able to be released that way - I will call and check on that. |

FIA introduces 'Hypercar Concept' for World Endurance Championship
Sun, Jun 10 2018One of the most common jabs at hypercars is the question, "Where can you drive them to their potential?" Imagine the answer being: to the checkered flag in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We're not there yet, but the FIA World Motor Sport Council took a step closer to the possibility during its second annual meeting in Manila, the Philippines. One of three initiatives the WSMC announced for the 2020 World Endurance Championship was "Freedom of design for brands based on a 'Hypercar' concept." This "Hypercar concept" would replace LMP1 as the premier class in the WEC. The dream, of course, would be seeing racing versions of the AMG Project One, Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Regera, McLaren Senna GTR, Pagani Huara BC, and the rest of the gang trading paint and carbon fiber through Dunlop in a heinously expensive version of "Buy on Sunday, sell on Monday." The reality is that we don't have all the details yet on the set of regulations called "GTP," but the FIA wants race cars more closely tied to road cars, albeit with the performance level of today's LMP1 cars. Exterior design freedom would shelter internals designed to reduce costs, the FIA planning to mandate less complex hybrid systems and allow the purchase of spec systems. One of the FIA's primary goals is lowering LMP1 budgets to a quarter of their present levels. Audi and Porsche budgets exceeded $200 million, while Toyota - the only factory LMP1 entry this year and next - is assumed to have a budget hovering around $100 million. Reports indicated that Aston Martin, Ferrari, Ford, McLaren, and Toyota sat in on the development of the proposed class. If the FIA can get costs down to around $25 million, that would compare running a top IndyCar team and have to be hugely appealing to the assembled carmakers. The initiative represents another cycle of the roughly once-a-decade reboot of sports car racing to counter power or cost concerns. The FIA shut down Group 5 Special Production Sports Car class in 1982 to halt worrying power hikes, and introduced Group C. In 1993, Group C came to an ignoble end over costs; manufacturers were spending $15 million on a season, back when that was real money and not one-fifth of a Ferrari 250 GTO. Then came the BPR Global GT Series that morphed into the FIA GT Championship, which would see the last not-really-a-road car take overall Le Mans victory in 1998, the Porsche 911 GT1. That era would be most aligned with a future hypercar class.
Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
Nissan, Toyota offering payment deferments to people affected by government shutdown
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Two weeks into the budget-related government shutdown and it sounds like some progress is finally being made, but that doesn't really help furloughed government employees pay their bills. To help out a little, Nissan and Toyota are joining Hyundai with offering payment deferments to current owners and lessees.
In a release, a Nissan spokesperson said the company is "sympathetic to any of our customers who find themselves in difficult financial circumstances - many times outside of their control."
Both Japanese automakers are allowing payment extensions of up to 90 days without penalties or fees. Unlike the Hyundai Assurance Plan, though, it doesn't seem like the Nissan or Toyota assistance will be extended to those who are still in the buying process. Scroll down for press releases from both companies about their respective payment deferment programs.
