This is an absolutely rust free example of the highly valued 2nd generation 4Runner SUV. Its black on the outside, in fact its all black, including the bumpers, the mirrors and all the chrome. Its currently wearing American Racing alloy wheels with Michelin tires, but I also have the original factory alloys that are also painted black. Its very sharp looking with its recent respray, and its as straight as an arrow with NO RUST anywhere. Its also a 5-speed manual, which is a fantastic option for a number of reasons. The first reason is because with the automatic, these trucks are incredible slow, but not so with the manual trans. Its actually pretty fun to drive, even when you're driving on a paved surface. The 4WD works perfectly, so as fun as it is to drive on pavement, its 10 times as fun off pavement. The engine, trans and drivetrain work great, the only flaw being that this one still has the mechanical speedometer which works fine, but chatters a bit at high speed. Its no bother, but you do hear the mechanical speedo from time to time. I think in 1993 or 94, Toyota used an electronic speedo that made much less noise. Anyway, this is a totally blacked out 4Runner in unbelievable shape, both physically and mechanically. The interior is OK, but not nearly as nice as the outside. The driver's seat is threadbare and worn, so I have it covered in authentic sheepskin. The passenger seat is also covered in black fur, but its not the real stuff. The seat itself is fine with no rips or tears. The back seat is in great shape, but its got a black "Dickies" cover on it just to keep it nice and maintain the black look. It has a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with an aux input, so I plug my iPhone into it and listed to Sirius satellite radio through my iPhone. The head unit is fine, the speakers in the truck are not so great, but they work.

So I priced it at $4,150 with the American Racing alloys and the michelin tires, which I think is a bargain, or in the alternative, I'll sell the truck with the factory wheels for $3,500 cash.

VW targeting 10M sales in 2014

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

Volkswagen Group believes it can sell over 10 million vehicles in 2014, with hopes of overtaking Toyota as the world's largest automaker in the process. If VW can do it, it would meet that goal four years earlier than planned. Of course, Toyota isn't sitting still - it also hopes to top the 10 million-car threshold this year and has the advantage of already holding the top spot.
"With rising volume and new models, we will increasingly see positive earnings effects as well," said VW Group CEO Martin Winterkorn during its annual press conference, according to Automotive News. The company is spending huge amounts of money to propel it to the top, investing 84.2 billion euros ($117 billion) through 2018, and according to AN it plans to introduce over 100 new models worldwide among all of its brands by the end of next year.
The German automaker may get an extra boost as the European car industry shows signs of emerging from its yearlong stagnation and China continues to grow. In January, VW Group was up 8.5 percent in Europe and 15.5 percent in China, according to its own figures. However, the US has been slowing with Volkswagen brand sales down 19.04 percent in January and down 13.81 percent in February.

Toyota buys Daihatsu for small-car development

Sun, Jan 31 2016

Toyota is getting serious about small cars, but it's not going at it alone. Instead it's turning to its subsidiary Daihatsu, with which it will now share more resources and expertise. And in the process, it's acquiring the remaining stake in the smaller automaker. Daihatsu is a Japanese carmaker founded in its present form in 1951, but with roots that trace back as far as 1907. Toyota acquired a controlling interest of 51 percent in Daihatsu in 1988, bringing the company under its umbrella. But now it is raising its stake to 100 percent by a reciprocal share-swap agreement that will see Daihatsu's other shareholders take 0.27 shares in the larger company for each share in the smaller. As part of the new arrangement, the Daihatsu division will take the lead in developing new small cars, both for itself and for its parent company. Toyota in turn will also share key technologies with Daihatsu, and both will share each other's networks in emerging markets. The bottom line is that we can expect to see more small Toyotas and Scions developed and built by Daihatsu in the near future. The Daihatsu name may not be as familiar to Americans as some of Toyota's other brands. It briefly sold models like the Charade and Rocky in the United States under its own name in the late 1980s and early 90s. However US customers may be more familiar with those it built for the Scion brand, such as the Scion xB that was based on the Daihatsu Materia. While the realistic part of our brains force us to admit it's unlikely, the dreamer within us will hold out hope that the new arrangement could see a Scion version of the nimble little Daihatsu Kopen roadster make its way to our shores in the coming years. Toyota and Daihatsu to Strengthen Small Car Operations through Unified Global Strategy Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and its subsidiary Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (Daihatsu) have reached an agreement whereby Daihatsu will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota by way of a share exchange (expected to be completed in August 2016). The purpose of the agreement is to develop of ever-better cars by adopting a unified strategy for the small car segment, under which both companies will be free to focus on their core competencies. Ultimately, this will help Daihatsu and Toyota to attain their joint goal of achieving sustainable growth. Additionally, the aim of the share exchange is to enhance the value of both brands.
