Fairplay, Colorado, United States
|
PLEASE READ ENTIRE AUCTION TEXT BEFORE BIDDING!!!! BE A RESPONSIBLE AND INFORMED BIDDER!!! PAYMENT IS DUE IN FULL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION!!! THIS IS A GREAT NO RESERVE DEAL ON A GREAT TRUCK THAT NEEDS A NEW ALTERNATOR BELT, BUT DON'T BID IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO MAKE THE PURCHASE AND HAVE FUNDS ON HAND!!! THIS IS A 1991 TRUCK AND MOST BANKS WILL ONLY LOAN MONEY ON TRUCKS NEWER THAN 1994.
I bought this truck last year after my Honda Civic got trapped in our neighborhood near Estes Park Colorado when the big 2013 floods washed out all the roads. The only access in to our house was a poor condition jeep trail through the national forest. This truck drove my family up to the house and back several times crawling up some gnarly Jeep trails with no issues at all. It has great tires on it, pretty close to new when I bought the truck ($600 worth of tires). 4WD works like a charm. Mileage is about 17mpg on the highway and 12 to 14 on back roads. Handles snow like a dream. Engine starts every single time without any issues. Since I haven't got the new alternator belt put on you will need to tow the truck home to do the work yourself or hire a mechanic. Truck is located in Fairplay Colorado which is exactly 70 miles from edge of Denver up Highway 285. We have a local mechanic who is great and could replace the belt if you want to hire his shop. I think he charges 80 or 90 bucks an hour but has a full shop and stays busy enough it might take him a week or two to get to it. This truck is excellent for car camping and outdoor gear hauling with room for two plus gear and dog etc to stretch out inside. It performs great even at high altitudes (like 1200 feet for instance). My wife and I and our two kids had to move after the floods and moved to Fairplay Colorado. I drove Colorado Mountain Express vans all winter taking people from DIA airport to the ski areas and I had to drive 50 miles each way to work and back in Silverthorn, CO crossing over Hoosier Pass at 11,500 feet. This truck made the trip reliably every morning and evening through snow and ice until the alternator best gave up. I called AAA and had it towed home where it is still parked because I started driving my Honda Civic again and bought a Ford F350 to have a good contractor pick up truck for the summer construction season. I don't really need to pay insurance on three cars and I need money to get my wife's art gallery business going strong so I am selling this great truck "As Is" hopefully to someone who can handle the job of installing a new alternator belt. There are good videos on UTube of how to tackle that project but I've just been too busy with everything else to get into it. Payment is due in full within 24 hours of the close of the auction with the $500 deposit by Paypal and the rest hopefully in cash. Once it is paid for you can take the truck away right away or leave it where it is for a few weeks, but I would like to see it gone by the end of July. Comes with a clear Colorado Title. Its a great older 4Runner and with some TLC can probably drive for a few hundred thousand more miles. The auction is a no reserve auction that will go to the highest bidder no matter the price. Please do not bid more than you have on hand to spend, and be aware that banks usually will not offer financing on vehicles older than 20 years old. That's a mixed bag, because it means that the blue book value drops off a lot as soon as these trucks get past the 20 year mark even when they are still low mileage and in great condition, so if this truck were a 95 or 97 or whatever it would probably be a 6 or 7 thousand dollar truck. Because it is a 1991 it is only blue book value of 2 or 3 thousand dollars even though this one is in much better condition and basically the same exact truck as 4Runners from the late 1990s. So this is the way to get a super awesome 4X4 at a fraction of the price of a newer model of the same truck but you have to pay for it with cash because you cant get bank loans on trucks this old and that's why the blue book value is so low. Truck has Power Steering, Power windows, Power Locks and on the fly four wheel drive (Don't have to get out and rotate the hubs) With the 4WD and the big tires and high ground clearance and fairly fuel efficient engine these trucks are made to be super awesome 4X4s on rough roads but they don't go super fast up steep mountains on the interstate because all the power is engineered toward torque and climbing power rather than highway speed. Truck has "Premium All Terrain Big Foot Tires" 31X10.5 R015 SLT 5 ply (In other words super crankin awesome 4X4 tires) and mag wheels and SR5 V6 engine with excellent rock crawling power. Only issues I can think of are the dome lights and I think the cigarette lighter socket don't work. I think that is just a fuse that needs to be changed out but I haven't checked to find the burnt out fuse. Also could be a bad light bulb or bad wire or something. Please call me if you have any questions. William (970) 319-4361 BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!! Auction closes Monday evening about 6 pm Colorado time (8pm Eastern or 5 pm Pacific) so get your best bid in early or set the alarm on your smart phone to get in on the last minute bidding. Again, I am only selling this great old 4X4 because I need the money, so please be ready to pay for it within 24 hours. I am available by phone and can fax or email a copy of the title as well to you for your security. Also check out my 100% positive feedback on more than 100 Ebay transactions including high dollar things like boats, motorcycles and cars. I only had a chance to upload a couple of pix right now, but I will upload more photos in the next couple or three days. Check back again to see the rest of the photos!!! PLEASE CALL ME AT (970) 319-4361 TO COME CHECK OUT THE TRUCK IN PERSON PRIOR TO BIDDING IF YOU WANT TO LOOK IT OVER IN PERSON IN FAIRPLAY, COLORADO. |

JLR shares backstage 'No Time to Die' Range Rover Sport SVR carnage
Sat, Sep 18 2021James Bond's latest adventures will take him to Norway and Scotland, as seen in the trailer for the upcoming "No Time to Die." Somewhere along the way, the British spy encounters a pair of Range Rover Sport SVRs, the ultimate high-performance SUV from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations division in one of the movie's centerpiece car chases. Now, the company has given us a behind-the-scenes look at its filming, and the automotive carnage that ensues. The filmmakers wanted to take a Bond action sequence off-road, and chose the Range Rover Sport SVR as the the bad guys' pursuit vehicle. Armed with a JLR product placement deal (Bond drives a new Defender in another part of the movie) the henchmen had no qualms picking one of the most expensive things on the menu. Unfortunately, that also makes is a bit hard to watch when machines that start at $115,000 are totaled as they careen through the air or roll onto their roofs. The SVRs share a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with the Jaguar F-Type SVR and are the most powerful vehicles in the Land Rover portfolio. With 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque on tap, translating to a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds, they're the perfect weapon for chasing a super-spy down a dirt road. As for Bond himself, 007 makes his escape in a decades-old yellow Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Specifically, it's a 90-series, a smaller version built from 1996 to 2002 that was never sold in the U.S. but remains popular in other parts of the world. The most powerful engine had just 190 horsepower from a 3.4 liter V6 shared with the similar-era 4Runner. Despite the power discrepancy, Bond manages to dispatch the Range Rovers in spectacular fashion. Wait, this is a Range Rover promo, right? "All the stunts are for real, there's nothing that's CGI'ed," said Neil Layton, the film's action vehicle coordinator. "So to make the cars more dramatic on the screen, we had to turn off a lot of safety feature aids that's on there." Interestingly, another non-JLR product shows up in the video as well. The camera car is a blacked out (to minimize reflection in other cars) Ford F-150 Raptor outfitted with a massive rooftop boom. "No Time to Die" is hits the screens on October 8.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
Mystery shoppers love Infiniti, hate Tesla
Tue, Jul 12 2016Infiniti, followed by Lexus tied with Mercedes-Benz took the top two spots for best sales experience according to mystery shoppers from the latest Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index, while EV manufacturer Tesla recorded the lowest overall score. Not surprisingly, premium brands dominated the top ranks. Including the three already mentioned, luxury brands occupied seven of the top ten spots and included Audi, BMW, Porsche, and the only American brand to crack the upper echelon, Cadillac. Toyota, Volkswagen, and Nissan rounded out the first ten positions. The news for domestic automakers isn't good. Aside from Caddy, the only other star-spangled automaker to score above the industry average is Chrysler. The rest of FCA, most of GM, and all of Ford fell below the line. But Pied Piper's mystery shoppers handed Tesla the biggest walloping – the company is ten full points below the next lowest brand, Volvo, and its score of 86 is 17 below the average of 103. It's baffling, considering the company's touted direct-sales model. "Tesla leaves me scratching my head," Fred O'Hagan, Pied Piper's president and CEO, told Wards Auto. "They own all of their stores, so you would think each one would be doing the same thing. But they're not. Tesla is consistent in its inconsistencies." O'Hagan added that there's a "huge variation" in Tesla's store-to-store effectiveness, and that in some cases, shoppers found showroom workers that acted more like "museum curators," Wards Auto reports. It might be popular to call Tesla the Apple of the car world, but based on Pied Piper's work, the brand has a long way to go to emulate the uniform shopping experience of an Apple Store. The news might be bad for Tesla, but even for the brands that scored below average, there's cause for celebration. Only Tesla and Mini lost points in this year's rankings, and only Mercedes and Lincoln held steady. Every other brand, including Infiniti, which topped the index for the first time, gained at least one point. The biggest improvements belong to Porsche, Land Rover, and Mitsubishi, which all jumped five points. Pied Piper's annual Prospect Satisfaction Index uses mystery shoppers – over 6,100 this year – from across the country to assess dealers and generate rankings from over 50 individual factors.
