 Straight-body, no rust, fair paint.  Good-running old Toyota.  Was my daily driver until I retired this year.  I drove it 60 miles per day and it never let me down over a 10-year period.

The driver's seat back has a wear hole in the edge.  Otherwise, the interior is in fair condition with the exception of the headliner which is sagging and cracking on the dash panel on right side where sun shines directly on it. There are some stains on the cloth seat inserts but overall not bad.

  The car starts, runs, drives, stops as it should.  Transmission and clutch work perfectly.  A/C works. Tires are good, nearly new.  Engine is all original and does have an oil leak.  It is more a nuisance than anything.

  Driving it at interstate speeds to work every day it would leak a quart in a week.  Driving in town and at more moderate speeds lessens the amount of leakage.  It seems to be coming from the crankshaft seal.  This is replaceable without engine removal.  I just lived with it for 10 years rather than tinker with something that was working well otherwise.

  In the photos, the engine has not been cleaned.  You are looking at what you will get.  There is a slight leak in the radiator header.  Not enough to require adding coolant except maybe once in a few months. 

  The photos were taken yesterday and therefore represent the current state of the vehicle.

  This is an old vehicle and I have been running 'antique' tags recently.  This is a big savings in itself and is perfectly legal if you own more than one vehicle that is accessed and licensed.

  Being an old vehicle with high miles, there is no guarantee.  But....it IS a Toyota.  My brother's Toyota truck is still running with over 300,0000 miles on it.

  These old cars are fairly hard to find....especially in fair condition.  Even if you had to work on the engine, it is a good investment.  I wouldn't even consider selling if I wasn't retired and didn't have several other vehicles.

  Please ask questions if the condition wasn't described sufficiently, etc.

NOTE:  Does not have power windows as in description box...couldn't figure out how to keep the automatic robot from putting that in there!

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.

Toyota recalls 690,000 Tacoma trucks for rusty leaf springs, fire risk

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Toyota has announced that it will be issuing a recall of 690,000 Tacoma pickups from model years 2005 through 2011. The affected vehicles include both the four-wheel-drive model and the two-wheel-drive PreRunner (but not the standard 4x2 pickups), which may have a rather serious problem with their rear suspensions.
In some cases, corrosion and stress could cause one of the three or four leaves in the rear suspension's leaf springs to fracture. While the trucks can still be driven with a broken leaf, Toyota is concerned that it could move out of position and impact other components in the rear of the truck, with a particular focus on the fuel tank. Needless to say, but a piece of metal continuously impacting anything, let alone the fuel tank, is cause for concern.
As of this writing, there have been no reports of crashes, injuries, fires or deaths due to this problem, although that won't stop Toyota from informing all affected customers of the issue. Those 690,000 owners will need to report in to dealers for inspections and, if necessary, repairs.

Watch the Muppets go for ice cream in a Toyota

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.
