Her name is Lucy and she is one tough babe.  She enjoys long drives along the beach, breathing in the mountain air, road trips to anywhere, camping and taking good care of her driver.

Runs great, drives great.  Don't let the mileage fool you, you will watch the odometer go all the way back around to 0 on this car and she'll keep going.  These engines last forever!  This is a very reliable car and I have most of the maintenance records.  The only other owner was my mother before she gave the car to me.

Before clicking "buy now" please email me for my phone # to ask questions or set up a time to view – TakeRedHome@aol.com.

Feel free to bring your mechanic and inspect the car on-site or we can take it to a mechanic of your choice.  Again, the car is located in Westminster, CA.


Here are the specifics on the car:

4 cylinder

4 speed Automatic transmission

Clean title

247k miles

 

Pros:

 - Great gas mileage! - 26 City/33 HWY

 - Engine and transmission in great shape

 - Ice cold A/C!

 - Brand new CD/USB/AUX AM FM radio - hook your iPod up to it!

 - Polk Audio UV resistant speakers

 - K&N air filter (improved performance, never needs replacing)

 - Well maintained

 - The interior is very clean and in great shape.  No tears in the seats

 - Just passed smog in July

 - Just did oil change

 

Cons:

The car is in great working condition with normal wear and tear.  Only minor inexpensive maintenance should be performed soon:

- replace left outer CV boot

- 2 new tires

- alignment

 

Other negatives to note about the car:

- There is a slight oil leak which will take some labor to repair as it's between the engine and tranny.  The leak is not bad at all, just a drop or 2 per day.  As long as you continue to change the oil regularly, every 3K miles or so, you will not get low on oil.  But if you don't want oil on your driveway, you'll want it fixed.

- Rear driver side fender bent slightly.  This happened shortly after buying the car in ’93 and it's not causing any problems, it's merely aesthetics.  No frame damage.

- Rear bumper paint is peeling.

- Brakes squeak briefly sometimes when cold.

 - Every once in a while the power steering pump hums slightly so it will eventually need to be replaced down the road but most likely not for a while.  Mechanic couldn't couldn't say when, could be a year or 2 or longer.   The power steering works great now and the pump does not need replacing at this time.

- The dome light works, it just does not come on when driver’s side door is open, but it comes on when the other doors are open.  If you need the light on with driver’s door open, simply switch it to “on”. 

 

 There you have it.  Honestly, this is a great car that won’t let you down.  If you take good care of her like I did, she will take good care of you.

2015 Toyota Yaris

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Advertising firms have done an admirable job convincing consumers that the easiest way to find a best-in-segment car or truck is by looking at a few key metrics. In the most elementary terms, the vehicle with the highest horsepower, most gears in its transmission housing, lowest acceleration times and best fuel economy most certainly must be the class benchmark.
Yet as the commercials and billboards continue to drive that deceitful message, Toyota is betting shoppers in the subcompact segment are a bit more discerning. The Japanese automaker has just launched its updated 2015 Yaris, a three- and five-door offering that bucks the innovation and performance trends by offering what Toyota feels that entry-level buyers actually desire - reliability, practicality and a low sticker price.
It's sweltering in the tropical Hawaiian sun as I check out the deeply refreshed 2015 Yaris SE. This five-door hatchback, a range-topping version of the company's subcompact "sporty hatch" (Toyota's words, not mine), builds on the new-in-2012 generation by wearing new front and rear fascias, redesigned headlights and some attractive new wheels for the upcoming model year.

Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.

Toyota sees Camry share loss despite predicting increasing sales

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

Toyota may be set to lose share the midsize sedan market. While speaking with Automotive News, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz said that if his company kept pace with the current swell in the market for family four doors, Toyota would need to sell around 500,000 Camry models. "I'm not sure we can do much more than 400 [thousand] today," Lentz said.
But that doesn't mean Camry sales are shrinking - on the contrary, Lentz thinks Toyota will likely sell more Camry units in 2013 than it did in 2012, it's just that the company isn't keeping pace with segment's current explosion in popularity. Industry wide, midsized sedan sales have increased by 20 percent. "Are we going to lose [Camry] share? Probably so," Lentz said, "but we will continue to grow in raw volume."
Toyota sold 404,886 Camry units last year, and the company just revised its 2013 sales objective from 2.18 million units earlier this year to 2.2-million plus units, so while things are looking up for the brand and Camry sales may be on the rise, Toyota may not have the muscle to keep up its share in the sedan segment. Whether that's because of a production bottleneck or a predicted sales ceiling isn't clear. We've got a call in and will update this news item if/when we learn more.
