The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The A/C needs a seal fixed, compressor is in great shape. Driver seat has tear along outer edge (see pics). The body and paint for an 18 year old SUV is excellent, small chips and scrapes (most smaller than pennies. Tires have less than 5000 miles on them. Except A/C and driver seat, NEAR SHOWROOM CONDITION. Look in, under, behind, on top of, between seats front and back. EXCEllENT! Never been crashed."

 It is a rugged Toyota SUV, with body on frame. While it has a selectable transfercase with 2Hi, 4Hi, and 4Lo settings, 2Hi and 4Hi operate 95% of all normal driving. The 4x4 has been used in mud and sand and snow, but has not been used to do anything extreme like crashing over rocks or against trees. There is no evidence that has done anything other than drive city streets or secondary roads that may have had mud, sand, or snow (or ALL). I am the second owner. The first owner keep good records of maint and general usage. When you look down the line of any side of vehicle, it is obviously very smooth and straight.
It has a receiver hitch and wiring plug for hooking up a trailer

The body glass is perfect, almost no pits (very small) and no cracks.The axles do not leak fluids, and the boots over the front CV shafts are without tears or splits. The tailpipe does not release oil smoke or radiator fluids. It starts easy and has gauges that indicate the antifreeze, oil pressure, voltage are all in desirable ranges. It can get 20-22 mpg on the highway in 2Hi. I had all fluids checked recently and the technition  expressed how clean everything is.
We lived at the end of a winding gravel road in all kinds of weather and was never stranded.

It has a factory alarm system. The factory sound system has AM/FM/cassette/CD, all work very well.

It is over 18 years old, with no trouble of head gasket blowing out. It did have a connecting rod bearing go bad that needed replacement. I went to professional  contacts and farmed out some machining. The block was mic'd and all bearing points, cylinders, were still inside of factory specs. Rather than have an odd size rod bearing, I ordered all-new, pistons, rings, connecting rods, seals, gaskets, crankshaft, bearings, oil pump, cam belt, and one camshaft that was out of spec. It now has all new injectors, seals and filters. Due to my goof up, I had to buy a new radiator (wasn't watching close enough to prevent a loose fan blade from tearing out fins in the old radiator (to this day kick myself for not doing a nut/bolt count that afternoon). It is a safe SUV that can haul 6 people (if adults be VERY good friends. Kids will do fine)

Inside the car you will note that there are no waterstains from roof or door seals. The doors close solidly without rattles.
.No one has ever smoked in this vehicle.

EPA says automakers ahead of schedule for 54.5 MPG by 2025

Sat, Apr 26 2014

Remember, the target is 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. Today, the CAFE level is a little over 30. How we get from here to there is something the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is monitoring closely. Thus, the EPA just released an annual flash report on how the auto industry is progressing towards meeting the nation's fuel economy goals. Overall, the industry is doing almost 10 grams per mile (equivalent) better than the rules require. The good news is that the industry is a bit ahead of schedule. In the report (see page iii), the EPA breaks things down by automaker based only on MY12 numbers. Tesla is at the top of the list (which is ranked by over-compliance with 2012MY CO2 standards), but for our money, the real leader is Toyota. The Japanese automaker built the second-highest number of vehicles (2,020,248, after General Motors' 2,364,374) but racked up the most net 2012 over-compliance credits (13,163,009 metric tons). That's an average of over 6.5 metric tons per vehicle. The next closest is Honda, with just over five metric tons of credits per vehicle. Given the MPG fiasco with Hyundai and Kia, the EPA says, "we are excluding Hyundai and Kia data because of the ongoing investigation into their testing methods," but overall, the rest of the industry has credits worth 25,053,168 metric tons of CO2, which means it's doing almost 10 grams per mile (equivalent) better than the rules require. Go team. For now, the numbers in this report (and there are a lot more of them – get the 59-page PDF for yourself here), can't really be used to understand everything from the first year of the new CAFE program. The EPA writes, "Because the program allows credits and deficits to be carried into future years, at the close of the 2012 model year no manufacturer is considered to be out of compliance with the program. ... Compliance with the 2012 model year standards can't be fully assessed until the end of the 2015 model year." There are a more interesting tidbits in the report, such as the fact that Fisker produced 1,415 model year 2012 vehicles, Tesla made 2,952. Remember, too, that CAFE numbers don't equal the fuel economy you see in your daily drives. In the real world, the 54.5 CAFE level will be about 40 mpg, and the average fuel economy today is around 25 mpg, so we have a ways to go, no matter how you measure it.

Toyota issues multiple recalls for 6.4 million vehicles worldwide

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It looks like 2014 may go down as the year of recalls. We were already at a record pace, and now it seems Toyota is recalling 6.39 million vehicles worldwide, including about 30 of its models for a variety of problems. None of the faults have caused any injuries or fatalities, but there have been two reports of fires caused by a defective engine starter motor.
Toyota's numbers show 1.772 million vehicles being recalled in the US, but that includes some overlap because the Yaris is being repaired for multiple faults. According to The Detroit News, there are 2.36 million affected models in all of north North America, 1.09 million in Japan and 810,000 in Europe, plus smaller numbers in other regions.
Among the vehicles recalled in the US are 1.3 million units of the 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris. The problem is that the driver's airbag module is attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on the cable can be damaged when the steering wheel is turned, which deactivates the airbag and causes the airbag warning light to come on. Toyota is replacing the cable with an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin the repair. The company is sending affected owners notifications in the mail. According to The Detroit News, an unspecified number of Pontiac Vibe vehicles are also included in this recall because it shares the part with the Matrix.

MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.
