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. MECHANICALThe 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. EXTERIORAs 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. INTERIORThe 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! ***THANKS TO THE DEADBEAT "BILLY11646" I WILL NOT ACCEPT BIDS FROM ANYONE WITH A FEEDBACK SCORE LESS THAN 50 AND/OR ANY NON-PAYMENT FEEDBACK...IF YOU DON'T WANT THE CAR DON'T BID - "BILLY11646" WASTED AN ENTIRE WEEK FOR ME AND I WILL NOT RISK THIS AGAIN" On Apr-28-14 at 17:42:33 PDT, seller added the following information: I just found out the OEM CD player no longer works
