I purchased this All Trac for my girlfriend to drive to her work in Tahoe during the snowy months.  Unfortunately we had the least amount of precipitation in Tahoe history and the car was used less than 500 miles over the winter.  I have owned 40 + German cars and this was my first Japanese car purchase.  I've been impressed to say the least.  Other than needing a clutch the car has been nothing but reliable.  I replaced the clutch with a proper genuine AISIN Toyota clutch.  I replaced the belts, distributor shaft seal, put in new Toyota coolant, gave it Mobil 1 5w-40 and it has been nothing but reliable.  I also replaced the middle and rear sections of the exhaust system with new bolt in parts.(no hacks or welds)   I am moving and its going to be easier to just let this project go.  I had plans to repaint it and bring it back to as close to new as possible but I have other projects that come first.  

I purchased the car outside of Reno, NV.  It still has the Window sticker from Carson City Toyota where it was originally sold new in the glove box.  Although somewhat worn the car still has its Toyota of Carson City, NV floor mats in it.

The car has been in the Reno/Carson valley area its whole life and is extremely dry with no rust.  The paint on the roof has typical Nevada sun damage as well as the hood and trunk.  The car does have a few dings and some light damage on the passenger side rear wheel well.  The car has an aftermarket sun roof that does not leak.  Please take a good look at all of the photos.

The burgundy interior is in nice condition.  Dash is perfect and has a carpet cover but there are no cracks under the cover. All gauges work. It has a CD player from a Scion which fits perfectly and looks stock.  Drivers seat has an area of wear (see photo)  Passenger side rear door interior panel is damaged. (see photo).  All four power windows / locks work.

Overall this is a nice solid car that could be made really nice with little effort.  I can't really think of a more reliable AWD sedan for the money.

I urge you to check the car out in person before placing a bid on it.  This is Ebay. The high bidder owns it.  I will answer all questions within 24 hours and take additional photos when requested.  Vehicle is currently located in Grass Valley, CA.  Please email me with any questions through Ebay.  Let me know if you would like additional photos of certain areas.



What it needs:
A/C system needs to be charged
Battery does not appear to be the original size but works just fine
Hood has a ding on drivers front corner, few dents and dings
Trunk lid does not stay open on its own
bumper covers are faded and slightly wavy
Shocks appear to be original, drives nice but probably due for replacement
Paint is oxidized from sun in areas.
I get a small drop of oil on the ground after parking it.  Have not looked into it.

THE GOOD
Clean California title
Passes smog with flying colors
All gauges/ interior lighting works
All exterior lights work (turn signals, tail, headlight, etc)
Shifts perfectly.
Push button center diff lock comes on and off almost instantly like it should

NADA BLUE BOOK VALUE IS 

LOW $2,869 
AVERAGE RETAIL $4,505
HIGH RETAIL $5,568

Thanks for looking and good luck !

*****I require a $500 deposit through Paypal within 24 hours and the rest in cash upon pick up.  Money orders and cashiers checks will need 5 days to clear my bank.  The car will not leave my possession until my bank says the funds have cleared.*****

I've been asked what the car needs to be driven.  Nothing really.  I drove it to San Francisco and back recently (3hrs each way) without issue.  The car has been mainly sitting for the last 6 months and should be looked over as any car that has not been driven much should be. There is a slight noise on deceleration every once in a while.  It is not coming from the driveline.  I think it may be an exhaust mount/ hanger.

Mini Minor to be co-developed with Toyota

Mon, Jan 26 2015

It was back in 2011 when Mini first showcased the prospect of an even smaller hatchback with the Rocketman concept at the Geneva Motor Show. In the nearly four years since, parent company BMW has hemmed and hawed on the possibility of putting it into production, but the latest word from Europe has it that the project is a go. According to Automobile magazine, Mini is realigning its product portfolio into five pillars: the essential hardtop we've already seen (available in two/three- and four/five-doors), the convertible, the upcoming new Clubman wagon (coming this summer with full-size auxiliary suicide doors on both sides), the next-gen Countryman crossover in 2016 and two new model lines. One will be the production version of the Superleggera roadster concept, earmarked for 2018. The other will be the Minor, a smaller city car reviving a long-gone model name and presaged by the aforementioned Rocketman concept. But for that last one, Mini won't go it alone. To develop the mini Mini, BMW will reportedly turn to its partnership with Toyota. The relationship is already set to yield a new Supra and Z4 and share fuel cell and other technologies. But this would broaden the partnership to include a small hatchback. However rather than use the existing (or next-gen) Aygo, which is already built under joint venture with PSA Peugeot Citroen (with which BMW previously had a joint engine venture), word has it that the BMW and Toyota will develop a new platform for the project – one that will be used by both partners. The new product plan doesn't leave much room for the Mini Coupe and Roadster (which have already been discontinued), for the Paceman three-door crossover (which will suffer the same fate) or for the projected seven-seater minivan. But the addition of the new Superleggera roadster and super-mini Mini aren't likely to leave us wanting for either. Related Video:

Heavily updated 2015 Toyota Camry to bow in New York

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Looks like the new, "more emotional" Toyota Camry designer Kevin Hunter talked about back in January is going to arrive very soon, with news that Toyota's bread-and-butter sedan will be getting an update in just a few weeks time at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
"On April 16 at the New York International Auto Show, we will make an important announcement about America's best-selling car, the Toyota Camry," said Curt McAllister, Toyota product news manager, in an emailed statement. Considering the high-profile nature of the NYAS - not to mention the competition that will be shown there - it makes sense that Toyota would choose to unveil something as significant as a major refresh at the Javits Center.
We wish we had more to tell you than this, but unfortunately, that's about all we've got to go on at this time. Of course, we'll have much more for you during the lead up to NYAS, including any leaks of the refreshed Camry. Stay tuned.

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.
