2006 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5, 4×4

V8, moon roof, rear a/c, 7year/100,000 Mile Toyota Gold Warranty.

This 4Runner is a young person’s car that was owned by a 75 year old. 
We bought the car from the estate of the deceased florida man. 
His kids had driven it home to Massachusetts from the funeral. 
Much of the mileage on this car was put on during two annual round trips
between Florida and Michigan over the last 4 years. 
What does all this mean? 
Florida car + highway miles + elderly owner + Toyota quality + 100k warranty  =  Home Run for Dr. Ron.

the husband had bought a new truck and that became his primary work vehicle.
They had only owned it for a couple months
and it still looked like it came off a dealer lot.
I am now selling it because I have downgraded
to a $1200 car to free up some credit card debt.

"Hello Ron,

My mother (68 yrs old) bought the car new in 2006, but she never liked
driving, so she didn’t accumulate a lot of mileage. She moved back to
her home country to retire, this spring and left the car to us to
sell. She really wanted us to buy the car off of her, but we already
have 4 cars, so we don’t need another car. We only put it on the
market now because it took forever for CT DMV to transfer the title
to us. We use it here and there whenever one of our cars in service or
what not, but it’s mostly in the garage. The car is like brand new
without exaggeration. It’s in perfect condition. I don’t think you can
find another used car that is as new as this one for this price.

Thanks,
Chika"

One Owner, 23,000 miles, $13,000.

2007 Toyota Matrix, 23,000 miles, $13,000.
This one owner wagon has a Toyota Bumper to Bumper Warranty
for 6 months/13,000 miles and a Power Train Warranty for 30 months/37,000 miles.
It is in like new condition, but once Julia’s boys get into it - Watch out !!!

This car was built in April 2007 and sold in July 2007,
two months before the 08s came out.
(Its what they call a 2007 1/2 in the car business.) 
Dr. Ron calls it a 2007 5/6ths to be exact.
This is why the mileage is so low and the warranty is still alive.
Also, while other 07s were driving through slush in the harsh winter of 06/07,
this car did not yet exist.

The most fuel efficient AWD car on the road.

2006 AWD Toyota Matrix XR, 45,000 miles, $12,900

Carrie is a teacher and has a 100 mile round trip commute
on secondary roads in northern Massachussetts.
So she needed great gas mileage, all wheel drive, and super reliability. 
She also needed a car that could go 25,000 miles per year for many years to come,
but not at a new car price. 
This Toyota was the answer.

Toyota Matrix with 56,000 miles, $12,500

2006 TOYOTA MATRIX XRS. 
This is an incredible little car.  Very fast and very sporty. 
Where else can you find a six-speed manual transmission? 
Try an italian supercar.

AWD Toyota Matrix, 65,000 miles, $10,000

2005 AWD Toyota Matrix 65,000 miles, $10,000

This car was bought new, it has no dents or dings and is in excellent shape.
The reason for selling was the owner bought a 2010 VW Passat Diesel
which gets 45 miles to the gallon.
The Matrix gets around 30 miles to the gallon.
Every thing is in good condition, just had new front brakes installed and the oil changed.
The car came from cow country in upstate New York. 
When Monica and Dr. Ron went to pick up the car
they figured it had never seen a traffic jam in its life. 
The only businesses along the road were ATV dealers.

You can park this car ANYWHERE.

Pontiac Vibe built in a Toyota factory - $9,300

2005 Pontiac Vibe with 53,981 miles for $9,300.

This is not a six speed 185 Horsepower beast like the Matrix above. 
But just like a base Matrix, it has a Toyota Corolla engine,
transmission, and all other mechanicals. 
It’s not your uncle’s Pontiac. 
Dr. Ron knows how to buy Toyotas at Pontiac prices….
Other good bets are Chevy Prizms and Chrysler cars with Mitsubishi power trains. 
Iona should be happy.

Two Years and 40,000 miles remaining on Toyota CPO Warranty.

2005 Toyota Matrix XR AWD. 61,000 miles. $8,500.

David the seller was a non-smoking High School science teacher in Long Island, NY. 
He delivered the car to Yotam upstate.

This car was a bargain. 
It spent its first five years in Suffolk County where there is little road salt.
It did have a dent and a cracked tail light,
but Yotam plans to load it with firewood,
and drive the dirt roads of Columbia County NY.

All-in-all this is just what the buyer wanted: 
Best fuel economy of any AWD vehicle, Toyota quality, and a bargain.

$6,600 Garaged since new

2003 Toyota Corolla LE.  15,500 miles, $6600.

Automatic, A/C, Power everything. 37 MPG from the 4 cylinder motor.
"My aunt’s neurologist at the nursing home said she should stop driving,
since she bumped into the building twice last month."

2007 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 Prerunner Access Cab, 16,000 miles, $19,500.

Looks & runs just like a New Truck!!!
We have only used it as a commuter car to work - 7 miles per day- and small errands.
If you see this truck, so you will be amazed at its condition.
Very clean interior. It is practically new!
It has such low mileage that this truck will sell itself!
We are both non-smokers and have no accidents!
We bought this truck new, so it has only one owner!

59,000 miles, AWD Minivan, $16,500



2006 Toyota Sienna XLE LTD AWD with 59,000 miles. 

This is an amazing van that has been the top rated AWD minivan every year since 2004. 
The interior is completely tight and silent, and it has every conceivable option. 
The seller was a single mother in the Berkshires
who bought it new in 2004 for $39,000 or $40,000,
and supplied all the original paperwork and service records.  
Ari bought it for $16,500. The math works as follows: 
The first owner burned through $23,000
plus interest in four years ($5750/YEAR plus interest).
If the second owner drives the van for four years,
he will use up about half as much equity, or about  $2875/year plus interest. 
(That’s about $250/month to own a $40,000 Toyota).
