Terrific One-Owner Car! Here's the scoop...bought this car new in 2008 from Kenny Kent Toyota in Evansville, IN for my daily commute to work which up until a couple months ago consisted of about 40 miles one way to work. MPG's are excellent and car is mechanically sound; well serviced at area Toyota dealerships. Selling only because my drive is now only 2 miles to work. Non-smoking. Garage kept.

Thank you for considering my Prius. Other than the events out of my control, I have never so much as curbed the car, and treated it very well. Let me know if interested or any questions you might have.

Damage repaired on the car consists of a new hood (had slight wrinkle), front bumper cover and one headlamp (cracked mounts) from the juvenile deer hit; and rear bumper cover, energy absorption materials, emblems, tailgate shell and one taillamp from the straight away rear ending. No damage to the frame, rear quarters or glass (which was reused for the hatch). Again, still a great, solid car in great mechanical shape. Dealership indicated after the rear hit that the car did not even register being hit, and the car was not disabled in any way...could even still open and close the hatch (see pic 24 for the before repair).

Local pickup only - Owensboro, KY 42301. Cashier's Check or Cash. Currently a lien on the title, so will get a letter of release to accompany the title that I do have in hand (clean title - one owner).

Pictures taken morning of Sep 10. You will note a little bit of morning dew and need for interior wipe down and time to wash exterior. I apologize not all cleaned up in the pics, but will make allowance for a complete detail by refunding the $250 deposit received at close of auction and successful sale with cleared payment...a win-win. Also have both original keys - one is brand new never used. 80k rated tires put on at 130k miles, so lots of tread left. Dealership tells me brakes are also really great shape, since mostly highway driving. All service performed as recommended. Ready to go!

REDUCED TO $7,700 OBO!!! GREAT ONE OWNER CAR WITH GREAT FEATURES AND GREAT COLORS FOR A GREAT PRICE!!

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.

Toyota asking NHTSA for fuel cell car safety exemption regarding electric shocks

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Toyota is requesting an exemption from federal safety regulations that govern electric cars as it prepares to launch a small-scale hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle fleet.
The Japanese automaker is targeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 305, which covers the packaging of high-voltage parts in electric cars. According to Uncle Sam, these systems need to be isolated so that passengers and first responders aren't electrocuted in the event of a crash. That seems pretty smart, but it's become a problem for Toyota's upcoming production fuel cell vehicle, as the mechanism that prevents electric shocks in low-speed crashes will apparently simply keep Toyota's car from even functioning.
Instead of the federally approved system, Bloomberg reports that Toyota plans to insulate the high-voltage wires and cables in the car, along with shielding electrical components like the fuel cells, electric motor and batteries with (presumably non-conductive) metal barriers.
