1989 Toyota 4-runner First Generation Low Milage (silver W/black Top) on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:123200
Location:

Denver, Colorado, United States

Denver, Colorado, United States

Rare, low milage (124,XXX), original everything, 1989 first generation 4 Runner.  V6 SR5 EFI.  Silver w/Black roof.  (Top has never been taken off).  Right now there are no other 1989 first generations being offered on Craigslist OR Ebay!  There are just a couple first generations of any year, a couple in original form. And when they do come up, they will not be nearly as nice as this one, or have the amount of recent maintenance. 

We had it shipped to us knowing of a valve cover leak, which made the undercarriage quite messy looking at first.  The seal has been replaced, along with two cam cap seals, where the leak was really coming from.  Because we wanted this as our daily driver, we did all of the necessary maintenance the former owner didn’t get to.  Water pump replaced, new power steering pump installed, rear brakes done, new front locking hubs installed, shifter grommet replaced, radiator flushed, oil changed and tune up with new plugs, transmission fluid drained and filled, transmission serviced, and new air filter.  Tires still have lots of tread on them.

It is original, but not perfect.  It is in the type of shape a vehicle made in 1989 should be in: paint has faded a bit on top, a bit on the hood, etc.  The dash, like every single one of these, has a couple of cracks, but not nearly as bad as I’ve seen.  Other than that, it is in really good shape. 

The story … of how it came to us and why we must part with it:

We bought this less than a year ago from the original owner, who kept it south of the bay area in California.  It had a out lived its use for him as a family car “to go to the store in.”  We bought it for my wife’s dream of “a first generation 4-Runner sailing through the breeze with the top off.”  She has a new dream of camping without needing a tent, and we just bought a 2003 Eurovan, much more practical for us and our three year-old (and our new 90lb. dog!).  

Happy bidding!

GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

The path to become a racing driver is a difficult one. It requires starting early, with karts, and then building up through the years and if you're really, really good (and really, really lucky), a team will notice you and sign you up. Or, you know, you could just become really good at Gran Turismo, and beat out other like-minded fanatics for a seat in the GT Academy.
The racing school, which culls its students from the ranks of Gran Turismo players has already pumped out successful racers, most notably, Lucas Ordoñez, who has a second and third-place finish under his belt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2014 GT Academy kicking off April 21 and running through June 16, you could have a chance to be the next Ordoñez.
That won't be easy, though. We recently had a playthrough on GT6 the proper way - with a racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, complete with column-mounted paddles. (Our setup looked just like the one you see above, though that image is from E3.) In other words, it was as close to driving an actual car as most console games can get.

Toyota Matrix not long for this world?

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

According to a report from AutoGuide, Toyota doesn't have plans to replace the aging Matrix hatchback in the United States after this year. If true, the timing coincides with the replacement for the Corolla, on which the Matrix is based, with that car slated to get its first complete redesign since 2006 (2008 in the US market).
We'd love to tell you how many Matrix models were sold by Toyota in the United States last year, but the automaker chooses to bundle Matrix sales with Corolla sales, so we have no idea. That said, we have to assume sales of the hatchback don't contribute much overall to the total number of Corolla-based machines.
We're also unsure if Toyota will choose to exit the youth-oriented compact hatchback market entirely, or if the automaker will rely instead on its hybrid Prius line and Scion models like the xB and xD.

First live photos and impressions of Toyota's 2014 Corolla

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

After releasing official pictures and a press release about an hour earlier, Toyota chose an aircraft hanger at the Santa Monica airport as the venue for the global introduction of its highly anticipated 2014 Corolla. Following an extended aerial acrobat show, which included performers running along the walls, swimmers romping in a massive overhead clear plastic pool and angry dancers destroying their cardboard stage in a glittery fit... the all-new C-segment star of the show was lowered on cables from the ceiling. (After the strobe lights and pounding sound that preceded it, the final vehicle reveal was almost anticlimactic.)
Face-to-face with the eleventh-generation sedan, we liked what we saw. Compared to last year's Corolla, the new model appears smaller in person - yet that is mostly an optical illusion. By the tape, it is four inches longer and slightly wider than its predecessor, but a bit shorter. The wheelbase has been stretched nearly four inches, yet the front and rear overhangs only give or take about an inch in the conversion. With the exception of the enormous wheel/fender gap (the new Corolla seems to ride too high), its overall proportions are very pleasing.
The fresh styling is modern and stylish, with sculpted lines that add character to a formerly bland sedan
