2005 Toyota Prius Base Hatchback 4-door 1.5l Gold +17 Cu Ft Roof System on 2040-cars
Sedona, Arizona, United States
|
Hi guys,
I am selling my own personal 2005 Toyota Prius, which I bought from the original owner on June 9th, 2011. So I am the 2nd owner. I bought it with 88,657 miles. I am selling it with 140,141 miles. This car is in perfect operating condition, with clean title. To the best of my knowledge, it has never been in an accident. I am starting this auction with $1.00 and no reserve. Highest bidder gets the car, regardless of price. The only reason I am selling this car is because we are going to Hawaii, and then will possibly be leaving the US for a while. If it wasn't due to this traveling, I would not be selling this car. I read some Toyota Prius forums, and there are quite a few people that have been driving earlier Prius models with more than 250,000 miles on them. One guy had 305,000 miles. Apparently, the odometer stopped at 299,999 miles, and the Toyota fixed it for free, under the warranty. I have been treating this car very well, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it will go to 300,000 miles+ with all original parts. The original owner sold me this car with no problems, except one set of 3 dead buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. These are convenience buttons. All of these functions can be controlled through the Navigation Screen. He told me that the Toyota dealership estimated the repair of these buttons to be at $350. I never cared to fix them. See picture of steering wheel with these 3 buttons. In addition to that, apparently while I was away, one of my kids hit the navigation screen with a butt of a stick. I never saw it happen, but at one point in time, I saw a circular crack on the navigation screen, about 2 inches wide. Luckily all the buttons, except one, continue to work, although some air conditioner level buttons that are inside of the crack need a little bit harder pressing, and for some you need to press a bit off center, in order for them to press. The only button that is not pressable is the display "Language" button. You only need this button, if you want to change the display language from English to Spanish, or French, or some other language. If you are satisfied with your display to be in English, you'll never need to use this button. I attempted to display this crack on one of the pictures below. I don't believe you will ever need to change the navigation screen, because it's fully functional, except for the display language switch. But if you do decide to change it, the part number for it is 86110-47071. If you search for it on Ebay, you'll see them selling for around $250. That's used. I see no reason why you would need new one. To switch it would probably cost around $200 in mechanic's labor. Because this car has been used for about 7 years, it obviously has some minor scratches on the outside, and some wear on the inside. The two things mentioned above and normal wear are the only problems I know of with the vehicle. This vehicle was serviced in Toyota Santa Barbara on September 30th, 2013. They did not recommend any repairs. Currently, this vehicle is in Sedona, AZ. After I bought the vehicle, I changed the CD player. The original Toyota CD player did not have AUX port in it, so I bought nice CD player with AUX port, so that I could listen to my Ipod in the car. I also put in brand new battery (not hybrid battery, but the one for starting the car), but that's normal. They usually last about 6-7 years. You won't need to change one again until about 2018-2019. The car has about half-worn firestone tires. You won't need to change those for a while. The hybrid battery is as strong as when I bought it. If you drive it about 55 mph on flat surface, you get about 55 mpg. Highway at 80 miles per hour, you get about 42 mpg. City, you get more than 60 mpg. Here in Sedona, AZ, which has many hills, we normally get about 45-47 mpg. We have tickets to Hawaii for November 1st, this auction will end on October 25th. If you win it, I would really want you to pick it up right away, so hopefully on October 26th or 27th. Please don't bargain with me. I've described the car very well. Please pay exact bid amount when you pick it up. I prefer to receive $500 commitment deposit via paypal within 24 hours of you winning this auction. The car includes Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Base Rack System, for which I paid $247.50+$100 installation about 6 months ago. It also includes 17 cubic feet Thule Tahoe Roof Bag that goes on top of the racks. I bought this bag from REI about 6-months ago for about $230, including sales tax. If you travel with luggage, this is the BEST system for the Prius. This Thule bag fits a lot more than the hard shell bags you see. I did a lot of research before buying this system, and in terms of maximum capacity, this is the best set up. We even put our tent and a bunch of sleeping bags between the bottom of this Thule Bag, and the roof of the car. With this roof set up, you basically have two trunks, which is GREAT for traveling, especially if you have 2 or 3 people sitting in the back. I think I've said it all, if you have any questions, please ask... |

2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Giving Vanilla A Good Name
"Vanilla." Taken in modern context, that's not a compliment, but it should be. Vanilla actually has exotic origins, and as spices go, only saffron is more costly. Despite the realities, calling something "vanilla" is not whistling in admiration. The Toyota Camry has been called "vanilla" countless times since its debut, but both the car and the bean have something up their sleeves.
Scoff all you want, but vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor, and there is no mainstream sedan that outsells the Camry. Apparently, vanilla has an underlying tinge of filthy lucre. We didn't feel rich, exactly, wheeling around in the Camry Hybrid, but we came away impressed, nonetheless.
Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
