 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 reveals new versions of FT-1 concept at Pebble Beach [w/video]

Thu, 14 Aug 2014

Toyota certainly caught our attention when it unveiled the FT-1 concept at the Detroit Auto Show last January. Coming from the same people who gave us the Lexus LFA, Scion FR-S and Toyota Supra, the FT-1 concept looked striking in its bright red livery. But the Japanese automaker isn't quite done with it yet.
No, we're afraid we don't have a production announcement to share at the moment, but Toyota has revealed two new versions of the FT-1 concept that cast it in different light. Most notable is the graphite version pictured above. Replacing the bright red paintjob and two-tone red and black interior of the original concept, this second iteration - presented in the metal at McCall's Motorworks Revival in Monterey, California - goes for a more upscale and refined graphite exterior and a tan leather interior with exposed metal elements.
Both versions of the virtually road-going FT-1 concept will be playable in GT6, but at the same time Toyota also revealed (in digital form, at least) a virtual racing version of the concept called the FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo. Looking like the original concept was prepared for Japan's Super GT series, the FT-1 Vision GT is retuned for racing, with wider fenders, more extreme aero, competition-spec alloys on slicks and the like.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.
