Used Toyota Matrix for Sale

I really like the sturdiness of my 2006 Toyota Matrix. The car is well built. When I drive it, the ride is smooth and the outside noises stay outside. All the major parts on the car seem to be in good working order. Since, buying the car, even though it has 123,000 miles, there have been few problems due to poor manufacturing. Any problems the car has had have largely been as a result of my own fault.

I love this car. I regularly transport 2-4 medium/large sized dogs in it. Even with dogs and crates, I can still pack a full set of camping gear and dog training supplies. I've never gone on a trip and not had enough room to pack everything I wanted. In a pinch I can even sleep in the back, and I'm six feet tall. Mechanically, it's a great car. It gets about 33 mi/gallon on the highway and about 27-30 city driving. I've put 40k miles on it in three years. Other than a new battery and a new set of tires, it hasn't needed anything else than routine maintenance. I'm a very tall person, and it is extremely comfortable to drive. I love where the gear shift is located.

I love my Matrix. It is the best car I have ever had. Toyota is a wonderful company and produces cars that seem to last forever. Mine has 120,000 miles and is still going strong. Wonderful car. Bought it from Enterprise in 2007 as a used vehicle. The detraction is the paint on the car, it is metallic gold so I have had it painted and touched up several times. Now that it is older it could use another coat, but honestly the value of the car does not support it. I am going to do some clear coat touch ups and see how it looks. My car is from Florida so I need to replace all the outside window gaskets on the side windows so that it is nice and sealed, Rubber is no match for salt and sun and they are all cracked and brittle. Wanted to do it myself and it seems I have to take the doors apart. That is an expensive repair to have done. My car has an oil leak, but when I researched further found out it is very normal for my car. Nothing to actually worry about. Major repairs have been a timing belt. Another plastic part that suffers in the heat. I have had several repairs that were recalls on the vehicle. Toyota is very good about telling us and arranging the repairs. Window motors, gas pedal issue and air bag issue. All taken care of with a smile.
