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;

  • Torn rear wiper blade needs replaced (done).
  • Brake and Transmission Fluid need flushed (also done).
  • Engine has oil "seep" but no leaks - recommend to just keep an eye out for leaks (there are none now).

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!

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

2014 Toyota Highlander greets the world with NYC debut

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Toyota has pulled the wraps off its all-new, 2014 Highlander in New York this morning, giving Americans a first look at what is sure to be a heavyweight in the mid-size crossover segment.
The new third-generation Highlander will come with the buyer's choice of three different powertrain options. The base model will be powered by a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel-drive. Next up the ladder is a 3.5-liter V6, also mated to the 6AT, which can be had with either front-or all-wheel-drive. Finally, the Highlander Hybrid will be equipped with all-wheel drive, its 3.5-liter V6 mated to an electric motor, all hooked up to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The automaker has not released any specs for fuel economy or output yet, though we're promised increases in both power and efficiency.
While not a revolution in terms of styling, Toyota has cleaned up the bodywork for the new model, offering a crisp, conservative look for the slightly larger Highlander. The vehicle is some three inches longer and an inch-and-a-half wider than the outgoing model, yet it has a lower roofline. Black plastic-clad wheel arches make an attempt to butch up the crossover, though to our eyes, the Highlander still has the look of a minivan around the rear view.

This first-gen Toyota Celica is one mean mother

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Brian Karasawa's gen-one Toyota Celica is, in a word, badass. As a long-standing fan of the marque, the doting owner has tried to both restore and improve his Celica keeping period-correct modifications in mind. The 20R/22R mashup engine is outputting roughly 185 horsepower and graced with a lot of JDM-specific parts and modifications. Clearly, the exhaust has been upgraded from stock, as clips of the orange Toyota in motion are accompanied by one hell of a nice sound.
Tastes clearly vary, and there's not as much love for the first-wave of Japanese metal as there is for similar era American-iron, but we're pleased to see these cars finally getting more time in the spotlight. Scroll down below to see why we're stoked, and consider cruising your local Craigslist for late 1970s and early 1980s Japanese coolness (before we get there first).
