Up for auction is a California Survivor!

A first generation

1989 Toyota 4Runner with oversized mud tires!

A daily driver. This vehicle is being sold to make room for a pickup truck that

will replace it for my new job. Just driven from Los Angeles County to South Lake Tahoe.

A nice candidate for a Rock Crawler. A rare color of Toyota for this year.

The vehicle just had a brake job and a new master cylinder installed by a certified mechanic.

In addition, the vehicle just had a brand new battery installed.

We have removed chipped paint from the side, about 2 feet by 2 feet.

We sanded it to bare sheet metal and then primered it. This work was just done.

The area is ready to be repainted.

It starts every time and is reliable. The door locks should be replaced. I have the

ignition key and I have been just opening with the sliding glass of the convertible

hood. Locking the doors but unlocking by sliding the window open in the back. The

gas gauge is also not accurate but the odometer is and will be slightly different as

the truck will be used a bit this week.The interior is in overall good shape and

cleaned.

Overall, this is a reliable 4x4

that would make a fun off road and winter transport

or top down in the summer kind of vehicle.

Fun and highly sought after.

Please see the numerous photos and feel free to ask questions.

Please note that this vehicle is being sold, "As is and Where is". It is well used but not abused.

Please also note that the winning bidder is responsible for payment within three days.

Winning the auction is not a "marker" to come by and inspect the vehicle after the auction ends.

If you wish to inspect, please do so before the auction is completed.

I am not responsible to pay any State of California fees. That is the responsibility of the seller to research and pay and fees

with the DMV.It is also the responsibility of the buyer to research the emission in your state. We can make no claims or

verify that it will clear or not clear the emission of your state.I can assist with the logistics of shipping.

I can meet a carrier in Reno for you to achieve a better shipping rate.

For a prearranged negotiated fee amicable to both parties before the auction ends, I can drive the vehicle to

Sacramento or the San Francisco area or ? Just please help by getting your plan preapproved

so that we are on the very same page. I am in Los Angeles a lot and I am in San Jose a lot.

Full payment must be received prior to my drive to the preapproved destination.

I am describing and listing this auto to the best of my ability. Please see my other auctions and thank your for looking!

2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Ultimate Edition

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Introduced at the end of 2006, this is the last year for the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the reincarnated FJ40-series Land Cruiser that will shortly journey to Takama-ga-hara, the Plain of High Heaven. In its first model year, we drove it to SEMA and found it, shall we say, coarse. It bobbled on the freeway and droned in the cabin, its boxy interior providing four bounce-boards for unpleasant frequencies. Tall mirrors helped one work around the eclipse of vision aft of the B-pillars, but navigating traffic required forethought and technique. Its turning circle was measured in kilometers. For the first two years of its life, it needed premium gas. It may have been fun to look at, but we couldn't wait to get out of it.
That's not the case anymore, and now the FJ Cruiser is poised to join a long list of vehicles that got better and better, then got axed.

Toyota: My Bold Dad

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Toyota followed up its first Super Bowl ad, which featured paralympian Amy Purdy and a voiceover from Muhammad Ali with a spot that'll tug at your heartstrings. As has been something of a theme tonight, it focuses on family and the way they grow up, with a dad, his little girl and their Camry. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're off to see why it's so damn dusty in here. Marketing/Advertising Toyota Economy Cars Super Bowl Commercials Videos Sedan 2015 super bowl ad

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.
