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... |

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.

Toyota Supra, Rolls-Royces, dozens of BMWs recalled for backup camera issue
Wed, Oct 9 2019Weeks after Nissan and Infiniti recalled more than 1.2 million vehicles for a potentially dangerous programming oversight in the backup camera settings, BMW has issued a recall for similar problems. The recall, which covers 257,481 vehicles, includes numerous BMWs, as well as two Rolls-Royce models, and the 2020 Toyota Supra. In total, the recall potentially affects 51 different products. This includes the 2018 BMW 540D, 2018–2019 BMW 640I, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2018–2020 BMW 530e, 530i, 540i, M5, M550i, X3, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, 2019–2020 BMW 330I, 740Le, 740Li, 745Le, 750Li, 840i, M340i, M850i, X4, X5, X6, X7, Z4, and 2020 Toyota Supra. On certain BMW models, xDrive variants are also included. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V684000, "The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse." If there is no display image when backing up, drivers can't properly see, and the car no longer meets modern safety regulations. Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors." The recall was filed on September 27, 2019, and BMW plans to begin notifying affected owners in November. BMW, Toyota, and Rolls-Royce dealers will update the vehicles' software, which should fix the problem.Â
