Clean title in hand

FENDER-BENDER VICTIM!

There is some damage to the front (shown in pictures) that is not minor, but not really major. Details below…

I’m only selling this truck because I don’t really need her anymore.  I’ve had her for about 6 years, always maintained and driven sanely.  My kid has gone from college dorm to apartment, so I have nothing to haul anymore (hallelujah!).  I’m severing my attachment for the sake of practicality.

 

The Good:

·         Green Paint still shines! 

·         All-American steel rims still solid, with wheel locks.

·         Goodyear Wrangler SRA deep-tread tires are very meaty with only about 14kmi of use (Originally $900 for the set).

·         Rebuilt motor installed at 158k miles, runs strong, synth-blend oil only (almost due for change).

·         Transmission shifts smooth, 4WD is strong and sturdy.

·         There are no leaks anywhere!

·         Interior is great for its age. Nothing major wrong with it, but I’ll list the small stuff with the bad…

·         If you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan, you’ll love the accents! (If you’re not, they come off easy, and I’ll keep the flag!)

·         This truck is registered “Historic” in Maryland.  Cheaper tags, cheaper insurance, no emissions testing, and no inspection!  Should qualify for most states (check yours).

Overall this is a GREAT 24 year-old truck that needs some TLC to keep rolling another 100k miles!

 

The Bad:

·         The exhaust needs to be replaced from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe >$600 total.

·         The stabilizer bar is bent slightly. Costs about the same to repair or replace the part >$100+ labor.

·         Interior:  Clock and cigarette lighter don’t work.  Mechanic believes there’s a break in the line somewhere because all the fuses are good. I’m not pulling the dash because I never used either one, so…).  There is a small hole in the right backseat cushion.  Smaller than a nickel, probably from a cigarette.  Been there since I bought it. The factory radio works, but occasionally jumps stations for no reason to whatever you have on Preset #4.  The cassette does not work, and 3 out of 6 factory speakers work.  Power windows and locks all work, except the rear window comes off track sometimes when lowering.  Always gets back on track with a helping hand, and does not leak or cause other problems.

·         AC needs charge (I rarely used it), but it works.

·         Windshield wiper fluid tank is cracked, won’t hold fluid. (I found one for $30, but forget to get it, haven’t looked again since).

Actually, it’s not so bad for a 24 year-old truck! I’d keep her, but my wife is like… well, anyway…

 

The Ugly:

·         The bumper assembly, grill and hood were damaged in a fender-bender.  Bumper and grill have to be replaced, and costs vary $125+. The hood can be hammered down. Still latches, just a bit bent (not crumpled).  One headlight bulb went out because the lens was cracked.  I already have two new ones.

I haven’t gotten any appraisal to fix this because I’m selling her instead.  But, I do drive this baby occasionally, just to keep her active.  She’s always been great in bad weather. 

 

But, now she’s going to the highest bidder!  AS-IS!

 

I will show the vehicle locally in Clinton, Maryland (Prince George’s County), BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

I am willing to deliver the vehicle within 50 miles of zip code 20735 ONLY IF PAID IN FULL!

PAYPAL   OR   CASH      ONLY!

Fake bidders WILL be reported.

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.

Lexus takes aim at electric vehicles, again

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Lexus is once again taking aim at plug-in vehicles by emphasizing the perceived challenges of recharging batteries, rather than simply filling up with gas or hydrogen. Only this time, Toyota's luxury division appears to be zigging while everyone else is zagging. Of course, the nameplate can use all the help it can get when it comes to hybrid sales. First highlighted by Green Car Reports, Lexus has added a banner to the website of its hybrid vehicles that says "Always Charged. Always Ready." That's a not-so-veiled shot at plug-in vehicles, a sector where Toyota has minimal exposure. Lexus also notes of its hybrid vehicles that there's "nothing to plug in." Of course, there may be sour grapes at play. Through September, sales of its five hybrid models in the US dropped 17 percent from a year earlier to about 21,500 units, and September was particularly tough as hybrid sales plunged 34 percent to almost 1,800 units. Even so, the third quarter likely represented a record when it came to plug-in vehicle sales. We say "likely" because Tesla doesn't break out its US sales, and not all automakers disclose sales of their plug-ins. We calculate that sales for the quarter were at about 36,000 vehicles, up 38 percent from a year earlier. For now, Lexus doesn't sell a fuel-cell model, though it may sell a fuel-cell version of the Lexus LS full-size sedan. Toyota, of course, offers the Mirai, which has moved about 710 units this year. Lexus has gone down this proverbial road before. In 2014, the brand unveiled a similar campaign that highlighted how long it took to recharge EVs, and was ultimately taken to task by electric-vehicle advocates Plug-In America. Lexus apologized for offending anyone and said it'd review content related to hybrid advertising. Doesn't seem like an apology is in order this time out, but that doesn't mean that it's a good strategy.
