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

*****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.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.

2014 Toyota Corolla coming Thursday, now with LED headlamps

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

Here's what we know about the redesigned 2014 Toyota Corolla: It will have "aggressive new styling" with "available seventeen-inch alloy wheels" an "available touch screen audio" system and "available LED headlights."
We know all of this because Toyota has seen fit to release a small assortment of teaser images of the 2014 Corolla, with those descriptions attached. The latest to hit the web shows LED lighting clusters, which, to Toyota's credit, don't appear to merely mimic designs already seen in the automotive world.
We should point out that the headlights do share a link to the units seen on the Furia Concept that was supposed to foreshadow the next Corolla, though the most interesting bits - namely the honeycomb inner pattern - have been chucked while the somewhat trapezoidal main units remain intact.

Toyota adds 1.6m cars to Takata inflator recall list

Tue, May 24 2016

As part of the Takata airbag inflator recall expansion announced by NHTSA earlier this month, Toyota has listed an additional 1.6 million cars that will need to have inflators or airbag assemblies replaced. This brings the total of recalled Toyota, Scion, and Lexus vehicles to 4.73 million. Other automakers will announce their expanded recall lists this week as well. This round of recalls affects some but not all vehicles with the following model names and years: 2009–2011 Toyota Corolla and Matrix 2006–2011 Toyota Yaris 2010–2011 Toyota 4Runner 2011 Toyota Sienna 2008–2011 Scion xB 2007–2011 Lexus ES 2010–2011 Lexus GX 2006–2011 Lexus IS To see if your specific vehicle falls under recall, write down your VIN and go to toyota.com/recall; you can also check any recalls, Takata or otherwise, at safercar.gov/vin. Toyota will inform owners of affected vehicles by mail. Depending on the model, either the inflator or the entire airbag assembly will have to be replaced. Due to the number of vehicles that have already been recalled, it may take some time for the necessary parts to be available. A total of 11 deaths have been attributed to the faulty Takata inflators, and federal investigators now know why the parts are prone to failure. The state of Hawaii was the first to sue the auto supplier, with more states expected to follow. The 17 other automakers are required to announce their additions resulting from the May 4 expansion this week, so expect more of the 35 to 40 million vehicles to be listed soon.
