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.

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

 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.

Toyota expands Takata airbag inflator recall

Wed, Mar 2 2016

The Basics: Toyota will recall 198,000 examples of the 2008 Corolla and Matrix and the 2008-2010 Lexus SC430. The Problem: The vehicles contain Takata's dual-stage inflators in their front passenger airbags, which could rupture in a crash. Injuries/Deaths: None reported in this population of vehicles. However, experts believe Takata's inflators have links to at least ten fatalities. The Fix: Dealers will replace the part with a newly manufactured one. If You Own One: Toyota will notify owners about the recall by first-class mail in March and will send a remedy letter in June when the parts are ready. TOYOTA EXPANDS TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL TORRANCE, Calif., March 2, 2016 – Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. today announced that it is expanding two of its recalls involving Takata front passenger airbag inflators. This will add model years of certain vehicles previously recalled and will cover all remaining dual-stage front passenger inflators of a particular type, as a precautionary measure. Approximately 198,000 Model Year 2008 Corolla and Corolla Matrix and Model Year 2008-2010 Lexus SC430 vehicles will be added to the recalls. The involved vehicles are equipped with a Takata-produced dual-stage front passenger airbag inflator which could potentially be susceptible to rupture when deployed in a crash. All known owners of the affected Toyota / Lexus vehicles will be notified by first class mail. Dealers will replace the airbag inflator or the airbag assembly with a newly manufactured one at no cost. Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time. For the most up-do-date Safety Recall information on Toyota, Lexus or Scion vehicles, customers should check their vehicle's status by visiting toyota.com/recall and entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Safety Recall inquiry by individual VIN is also available at the NHTSA site: safercar.gov/vin. For any additional questions, customer support is also available by calling Toyota Customer Service at 1-800-331-4331, or Lexus Customer Service at 1-800-255-3987. ###

Toyota confirms 2014 Highlander is in a New York state of mind

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Toyota has confirmed that it will be showing off the all-new 2014 Highlander at the New York Auto Show later this month. It's been a while since we've heard about the updated Highlander, but given just how long this thing has been on the market, we certainly hope that the list of changes will be more extensive than the new 2014 Toyota Tundra that debuted in Chicago last month.
Currently, the Highlander is offered in both naturally aspirated and hybrid versions, with front- and all-wheel drive. We don't expect the formula to change too much, since sales of the Japanese CUV are still steady - well in line with newer players in the segment like the Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder and GM's Lambda triplets (Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave).
We'll have the full skinny on the new Highlander in the coming weeks. For now, scroll down to read Toyota's incredibly brief press blast.

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.
