Purchased in 2012 from original owner. I'm purchasing a new vehicle for my daughter who will be leaving for college in August. I got a couple trade quotes, but was not overly impressed and am not in a huge hurry. I've had good luck with EBAY buyers in the past so I thought I'd post it here as well as locally. I've got all positive feedback, including various vehicles I've sold here over the years. I'm a psychologist and work 50-60 hours a week. I'm happy to respond to inquiries, but please inquire only if you are truly interested. I'm located in Central Louisiana and can pick up buyers from the airport if needed as long as we can work around my work schedule (AEX airport code).

This is a 4x2 model, so it will not be ideal for those who want serious off road capability. However, for those looking for a very, very nice FJ with low miles, this is a great vehicle.

Base model with new TRD wheels added in 2013 along with new tires. I added the additional rear speakers that did not come with the base stereo. I also purchased a nice added "box" for the rear cargo area. Easy to install and remove and adds some much needed additional organized storage. There are also two additional cross bars for the roof rack included. There is a roof mounted DVD player for the rear passengers that can play through the radio or the two sets of wireless headphones that are with it.

Vehicle is in very good condition and has no known mechanical issues. The interior is in excellent shape with very minimal wear noted anywhere. This has never been smoked in, no pets, no smells, tears, stains, etc.

Last year my daughter backed into another car at about 3 miles an hour. The only thing I had to do was replace the rear passenger silver bumper wing. However, since the other owner filed on the insurance it does show on the Carfax. Just want to be open on the history. Sorry, the miles have gone up a bit since I just drove out to NM and back a week ago. I can take additional pictures of anything specific for serious buyers.

Toyota reveals new TS040 Hybrid LMP1 [w/videos, poll]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

There's a new season of motor racing upon us, and while that doesn't always mean a new crop of cars in every series, in the case of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship, that's exactly what it means. Porsche recently revealed its new 919 Hybrid and Audi its revised R18 E-Tron Quattro. Now it's Toyota's turn.
Revealed today at the Paul Ricard test track in the South of France, the new TS040 Hybrid is based on the TS030 Hybrid it replaces, redesigned to meet the latest regulations established by the FIA and ACO for the World Endurance Championship and its flagship race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In accordance with said regulations, the TS040 is two inches narrower than the TS030 and also incorporates a new hybrid powertrain.
The previous 3.4-liter V8 has been replaced by a 3.7-liter V8 developing 513 horsepower, and the new engine is coupled to an Aisin AW electric motor at the front, a Denso electric motor at the rear and a Nisshinbo super-capacitor that combine to kick out an extra 473 hp, giving the system a combined output of nearly 1,000 horsepower while consuming 25 percent less fuel than last year's car. It also gives the TS040 all-wheel drive to help channel all that power to the road.

Toyota pimps out Esquire van for Japanese businessmen [w/video]

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

A few months back we reported on a dealership owner in Japan who was petitioning Toyota to make a luxury van. The problem, he reasoned, was that he couldn't take as many friends, colleagues and clients around with him in his Lexus LS, and his Toyota Alphard van wasn't luxurious enough. Well, it seems like he wasn't alone, and Toyota has listened.
The Japanese auto giant has just revealed the Esquire, a new luxury van designed with just such customers in mind. It's significantly smaller than the Sienna we get in America, smaller than the aforementioned Alphard and about the same size as (this writer's favorite) the JDM Noah van (on which we gather it's based). But what sets the Esquire apart is its upscale appearance.
The boxy van is distinguished by its dominant T-shaped chrome grille with a unique emblem that encompasses a shield, sword, "the collar of a gentleman's suit" and the letters Esq. The flank is characterized by a strong beltline with chrome lower window frame and an expansive greenhouse with tinted rear glass. Inside the flexible cabin you'll find accommodation for seven or eight passengers (depending on specification), synthetic leather upholstery and wood and metallic trim. There are even wheelchair-enabled models on offer as well.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
