 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 preparing Scion-badged Nissan Juke fighter

Thu, Aug 20 2015

As we've said on multiple occasions, the sub-compact crossover market is The Next Big Thing™. With that in mind, Toyota's lack of a competitor to the new breed of super-small, super-cute crossovers like the Nissan Juke, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and Jeep Renegade has been especially glaring. But as these photos show, the hole in the Japanese giant's lineup could soon be filled. Our spies captured this heavily disguised prototype testing in the deserts of the American southwest, signaling that Toyota is preparing to wade into the Nissan Juke's space by offering a tiny, but very heavily styled crossover of its own. Our spy photographers call the cute ute's look "aggressive," citing inspiration from the Toyota C-HR concept from the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Based on the meaty wheels and tires and what we can see through the camo, we're inclined to agree with their assessment. Underneath that sheet metal, we're told the new car rides on Toyota's new NGA platform. Like the Juke, a four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission will be on offer, although there's no telling whether Toyota will follow its rival's enthusiast beat and offer a six-speed manual version. What we find most interesting about all of this conjecture, though, is what it means for Scion, rather than its parent. Introducing a small crossover is the next logical step for Toyota's troubled sub-brand, and would serve as a delectable followup to the recently released iA sedan and iM hatch. Such a three-model lineup, when combined with the enthusiast-oriented FR-S, would transform Scion into a force to be reckoned with in the entry level space. Supporting this conjecture isn't too hard, either. As the spy photos show, this camo'd tester is being supported by a xB, the closest thing Scion (or its parent company, for that matter) have to a sub-compact CUV. It's unclear just when this new model will make its debut, but if Toyota hopes to make inroads into this popular new segment, this CUV will need to arrive before its extremely competent rivals can establish a solid foothold.

Watch this dude paint his Toyota pickup like Eddie Van Halen's guitar

Fri, Nov 28 2014

Eddie van Halen is one of the greatest rock musicians around, and his Eruption guitar solo alone puts him in the pantheon with the best of the best. Artist Ryan Humphrey was looking for a design to repaint his ratty Toyota pickup, and as a Van Halen super fan, he set on the classic scheme of Eddie's guitar for the look. The paint job is made up of a crisscrossing geometric pattern of black and white stripes with a red body. The eye-catching, rock-inspired design should give Humphrey no problems finding his pickup in a parking lot. In a video hosted by Plutonium Paint, he shows you how to get the look using the company's product. Even if you're not interested in watching a guy paint his old truck, the video is still enjoyable just for the chance to listen to some Van Halen tunes.

West Coast labor dispute hampers Japanese automakers' US plants

Wed, Feb 18 2015

The ongoing labor dispute between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and port owners along the West Coast is starting to affect more Japanese automakers building vehicles in the US. The issue already forced Honda and Subaru to take the expensive option of airlifting some parts into the US weeks ago, and according to USA Today, Toyota and Nissan have begun doing so, as well. The choice hasn't been cheap, though, and Subaru's chief financial officer estimated that the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. The effects continue to radiate, according to USA Today, and shortages of some models are possible. Honda is slowing production at its factories in Ohio, Indiana and Canada because the automaker doesn't have enough transmissions and electronics for some vehicles. Toyota already cut back on overtime at some factories. Nissan has only seen a small effect from the issue, though, because of its local suppliers. Dock workers and port owners have been negotiating on a new contract since last year, and the union has organized work slowdowns in response. According to USA Today, the automakers could move shipments to Canada or Mexico, but it would take longer for parts to arrive.
