We just had a new baby and recently upgraded to a full size SUV so we are selling our 2005 Toyota Camry.

This car is super dependable, we've never even had a flat tire. It has been maintained and kept very well. My father was the original owner and a maintenance maniac. He kept a little book in the car and recorded every detail of everything that was done to the car including, oil changes, tires rotations, cabin and air filter changes etc. He passed this down to us along with the car and now we keep records of all maintenance.

Mileage is just under 209,000 (mostly highway/state to state miles) but this model will last well past 350,000 miles.

The Toyota Camry is one of the highest rated cars for dependability and reliability.

When you talk to car owners, one name sticks out above all the rest when it comes to reliability—the Toyota Camry. In the United States, the Camry has been the best selling car for nine out of the last ten years. The only exception was 2001.

Best Rated Features of the Camry

Gas Mileage—Approximately 22 mpg city and 33 mpg highway
Safety—2007 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administered crash tests in which the Camry scored five stars in all areas except rollover, where it scored a four out of five.
Longevity—The Camry, like many Toyota products, is rated with a life expectancy of 150,000-350,000 miles. This figure is backed up by the number of customers who have reported their Camry still going strong after many years of use.
Lemon Reports—On the whole, the Camry is seldom reported as a lemon. There was a recall on 2007 models with about 133 cars being affected.
Repairs—2009 estimated cost of repairs over five years is about $500.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.

Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.

2014 Toyota Highlander

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Midsize crossovers like the Toyota Highlander tend to play a thankless role in the life of today's modern family.
That's really too bad. With the ability to hold several hyperactive kids and tons of cargo while keeping everyone safe and comfortable in all kinds of climate conditions day in and day out, they're true heroes in the lives of hundreds of thousands of families across the country. Yet their car-apathetic owners often immediately forget about them as soon as their work is done. And nearly all midsize crossovers are thoroughly ignored by enthusiasts whose eyes begin to glaze over at first mention of the phrase "third row."
Toyota is looking to soften the blow somewhat by giving its midsize crossover, the Highlander, a big redesign for the 2014 model year. With a bold new look, updated suspension and a refreshed interior focused on comfort and convenience, Toyota aims to make the Highlander sportier to drive and more striking in appearance, because, as the marketing team explains, "families are going places and they want to get there in style."
