2003 Toyota Corolla S Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Aurora, Illinois, United States
|
On
behalf of my friend I am auctioning his 2003 Toyota Corolla S which runs but
cannot be driven due to a broken left front spring. The car has 166,068 miles. He
is the 2nd owner. It is silver with black cloth interior. Some of
the equipment on this Corolla includes: automatic transmission; power
locks/windows/mirrors; keyless entry; cruise control; and AM/FM CD player. The
car has a clean and clear Illinois title. Please read below for a detailed
description of this Corolla.
MECHANICAL The car
starts right away and runs strong with smooth shifts. There are no leaks or unusual
noises but the engine compartment is dirty. My friend has kept up with all
regular maintenance and just put new tires on in November, 2013. The suspension,
however, needs work. The left front spring broke and it appears it will also need
front struts and inner/outer tie rods. There is also a loud popping noise when
turning the steering wheel. No formal inspections have been done so this is
just an assumption of what is needed with the suspension.
EXTERIOR As
would be expected from an 11 year old car the exterior is showing signs of age.
There are dings, scratches, faded paint, and rust throughout. There is no major
body damage. As far as my friend knows the only accident the car was involved
in was a low speed parking lot fender bender that required paint work to the
left front fender.
INTERIOR The
interior just needs a good cleaning as we are coming out of a long winter here
in the Chicago area. There are no signs of unusual wear to the interior of the
car or unusual odors. Also it’s important to note that my friend is not a
smoker and has no pets.
TERMS
OF SALE
The car
is under a reserve auction and the final reserve amount will not be disclosed.
The car is listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
The car can be inspected in Aurora, IL on week nights with advance notice but
because of the broken left front spring I cannot let you take the car on a test
drive for liability reasons. You are not bidding on a cream puff – this is an
11 year old car that has been driven daily and needs suspension work so please
keep that in mind when bidding. That
being said this car is being sold as is and where is. There are no guarantees,
warranties, or refunds. If you buy this car you must pay a $1000 deposit within
48 hours and the full balance within a week. You must also arrange transportation
– again the car is not safe to drive. If you are paying by cashier’s check the
vehicle will not be released until funds are confirmed. Please only bid if you
are serious about buying this car. I will answer any questions you have so
please feel free to ask them before bidding! |

Scion FR-S Convertible (in Toyota GT86 form) spied in South Africa
Fri, 15 Feb 2013Though the eventual existence of a convertible version of the Toyota GT86 (and its Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ versions for America) is a no-brainer, we've yet to get a glimpse of the real-deal car until now.
Spotted in Cape Town, South Africa, of all places, this completely undisguised GT86 convertible seems to be in a remarkably advanced state of development. The image seen here was obviously sniped from quite a distance and without the aid of a powerful lens, but we can still make out a production-ready looking piece of rear bodywork for the convertible top to hide away in, as well as a functioning trunk lid. It's hard to make out with any certainty, based on this evidence, but there does seem to be space retained behind the front seats for two, small rear chairs.
With the first car spotted, we'd expect to seem some more and better images of it flow through in the near future, and if not, Toyota has already confirmed a concept version for next month's Geneva Motor Show, dubbed FT-86 Open, so stay tuned. For now, click through to the FT86Club.com forum to have a slightly closer look at the images.
Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.
Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas
Fri, 02 May 2014Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."
