1986 Toyota 4runner 22re Very Low 92k Miles, No Rust - 1 Long Term Owner, Clean! on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Sweet 1st generation 4Runner out of Grand Junction, CO (title, plates, records) came from original owner (truly a little old lady), through a broker in GA to me in UT. Appears to have sat since sometime 4/22/12 (last registration) until only recently. I bought it (on eBay) in August, shipped it to here to Salt Lake City, UT and was reminded just how slowly these little trucks traverse the steep mountain foothill streets around the Salt Lake Valley. Perfect for a teenager nearing permit age, right? WRONG!!! My spoiled teenager will NOT be enjoying this truck, he simply DOES NOT deserve it! IT MUST GO or he'll think he has the option of driving it this Spring when he turns 15. This classic truck has a very impressive score on AutoCheck of 55 (given a range of 13-37) but it isn't without needs to make it perfect (if that is what you're looking to do). This is a great truck and owning one was on MY bucket list since high school. The broker that procured it from the original owner vouches that the top has never been removed on the truck since new. I spotted the truck on Bring a Trailer and chose to send for it instead of driving it back from GA myself. I wasn't at all disappointed with the truck, but moreover am deeply disappointed with my teen's attitude towards the privilege of driving and the responsibilities of doing so that go along with it. My/his loss, is someone else's gain. An inspection by an independent mechanic here in Salt Lake (Steve's Automotive Specialists) found;
While sitting for a couple of years didn't do the seals & gaskets any favors, this truck has yet to leak a drop onto my driveway or garage floor in the few months it's been here. I've driven it a fair amount and haven't had any disappointments. It hasn't let me down. It's not a "concours" condition vehicle by any stretch, so please don't expect it to be. It's 27+ years old and behaves like that (no NAV, manual windows, no Bluetooth). It is being sold "as-is, where-is" with "no warranties expressed nor implied." Disclosures; The AC doesn't blow cold, the rear window won't roll up/down from the toggle switch between the seats, but works just fine with the key inserted into the lock on the rear door (which is required to drop the tailgate). There are 2 very small "stars" on the windshield that have been epoxy filled and 2 small upholstery repairs on the passenger front seat that have been stitched with color-matching thread (see pics). Aside from the very few slight door dings & surface scratches along the passenger side (one where a reflective door bumper was removed) there are no other marks on the exterior at all. Truck is riding on an open CO title & Bill of Sale, this could save the buyer significantly when registering in your home state - check local DMV laws/regulations. I believe in full transparency and full disclosure, so if you have questions - please don't hesitate to text or call 801-580-7917 and ask them in advance of making an offer, please. Please now low-ball side offers via "ask seller a question" button, I'm offering this truck well below what I'm into it. If you're not interested in it, that's fine - don't bid & please just move along. If you are interested, then please take some time to review my 100% positive feedback rating as a seller on cars/trucks from this price ranging up to the six figures+ and then submit your best bid. Please don't inquire about the reserve, I won't share it - that isn't fair to anyone. Show your best faith bid, if it works out - then it's a win/win situation for both of us. If not, it wasn't meant to be for either of us. Pretty simple really. This truck is listed locally and elsewhere electronically so I reserve the right to end the listing at any time, so don't miss out!

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway
Thu, 09 Jan 2014The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.
Lexus NX, BMW i3 to get Super Bowl commercials
Mon, Jan 19 2015At this point last year, we'd been getting news on automotive-focused Super Bowl commercials for more than two months. The teasers hadn't come out yet, but manufacturers lined up for the super-expensive spots were making their intentions known. This year? Almost nada, until this week. BMW has said it will air a 60-second spot promoting the i3 during the first quarter of the game, the Munich firm returning to The Big Game after a four-year absence. BMW says, "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." We say that pitching a tiny range-extended hatchback during the beer-iest American sports orgy of the year should make for some neat commentary afterward. Lexus is putting its new NX crossover in the second Super Bowl commercial it's ever aired, eschewing the glitter of celebrities and glamor for a straight-shooting spot and the tagline, "Be seen, be heard, make some noise." Joining those two are Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota. The six confirmed carmakers are down from eleven last year, when car spots made up a quarter of the total ad time. The price to do business for 30 seconds this year: reportedly around $4.5 million, up a stacks from last year's $4 million. You can watch the Lexus commercial in the video above, and beneath that, the BMW press release below has a bit more information on its effort. BMW to Advertise All-Electric BMW i3 during Super Bowl XLIX. The all-electric BMW i3 is featured in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 15, 2015... Today, BMW announced plans to feature the all-electric BMW i3 in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. After a 4-year hiatus, BMW will be returning to the big game with a commercial during the first quarter. "As one in three Americans will tune in to watch the Super Bowl, we are thrilled to use this platform to educate viewers on the importance of electric mobility," said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, BMW of North America. "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." BMW i is BMW's forward-looking and sustainable brand dedicated to solving many of the mobility challenges faced by the world's most densely populated cities. The BMW i3 is the first of the BMW i vehicles constructed from the ground up primarily of carbon fiber.
