Original Owner Best Color Combination on 2040-cars
Huntington Beach, California, United States

DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS AND INTEND TO PURCHASE. This is not a fire sale it was difficult for the owner to make the decision to sell her car. Her husband, one of my very best friends, passed away a few months ago and she is selling the MR2 because their SUV is currently more practical. So please don't play games. If you want a "buy it now" email me with a phone number.
I am listing this car for the original owner, a very close family friend. The car was purchased new by her and has been well cared for as the photos will indicate. As noted in the "defects area the only item on this car requiring attention is the front facia which has the usual damage inflicted by years of driving. We considered repainting the front facia prior to selling (cost of $350) but then the question of damage or an accident could be asked. So take a look at the photos, repainting the facia will bring the cars finish to a very nice level. This car has never been in an accident and drives straight and stops true. The motor and drive train has been well maintained with regular service and only minor maintenance items needed during its life such as a MAP sensor and Oxygen sensor replacement. The water pump was replaced as well as the usual belts, brake pads and service items. The car retains its original clutch and shifts as it should. I do not know the life of a clutch in an MR2 but there is no slippage or chatter indicating a need for service. New rear tires were installed at 116,877 miles and front tires have about 60% wear remaining. A new top was installed in May of 2012 at a cost of $1620.00. The fit is perfect. The interior is in excellent condition with no dash cracks, no fading and just the normal wear on the seats with no tears. The car was always garage kept and is owned by a non-smoker. Everything on the car works as it should. There are no defects, rock chips in the windshield or door glass While there are some tiny marks on the wheels there is no "curb rash" where the wheels have been ground against a curb. If you are looking for a very clean and desirable ONE OWNER MR2 requiring very little effort to make it a near perfect example this is the car for you. The car shows like one with half the miles. You will not be disappointed. I invite and recommend a personal inspection. The car is located in Mission Viejo, California. While I have endeavored to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible I once again recommend a personal inspection and am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Please do not bid on this car unless you have the ability to complete the transaction. By bidding you are committed to purchase if you are the winning bidder and you should consider this a binding contract. There is no warranty expressed or implied. This vehicle is advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. |

Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.
Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.
