This is a right hand drive,Japanese import. The 80 series turbo diesel land tanks are truly amazing rigs. They are incredibly tough, versatile off road machines,yet really comfortable luxury vehicles. The diesels get good mileage and have gobs of torque,and will out last most of us to boot. 

 If you don't know about the reputation of these beasts,due some research,It is easy to get hooked on them,Name them and bring them into your family.
 This one Is in good mechanical order,everything works including the elec.windows,sun roof,mirrors locks, cruise con.and A/C. She has new discs and rotors,5 new tires and all belts and fluids done. There are 197,000 kms on the rig. The paint ,namely the clearcoat is faded and peeling(normal on these rigs) and there is a small rust patch on the rear drivers side window ledge. The underside is great and undercoated.This is a great price for one of these rare diesel units So you snooze you loose.
I have spent the last 2 weeks with this rig,and I love it. I cruised on the freeway at 160 kmh for one and a half hours and it just purrs. The cruise control works fine. I took it into the hills and put the difflock on and in low it crawled up some nasty mud hills with no problems at all.The auto trans.seems fine and shifts smoothly,quietly and on time.The engine sounds good,starts instantly when cold,other than a bit of normal white smoke at start up,it runs clean. It does not appear to have been smoked in and the seats and carpets are in pretty good shape. The Car was imported from Japan 5 yrs ago and was owned my the same fellow untill 2 weeks ago. 
 Some deficiencies I have found are. 1 front inner axel seal appears leaky,A/C could use a can of cold juice, shocks could be replaced,exhaust piping is getting tired.a small patch of rust on rear drivers side window ledge,Paint is faded from the japanese acid rain,gas cap cover needs repair.
 Over all It is a good example of one of the best 4x4s ever made,and you will be proud to call her yours.
   If you are the successful bidder,I will require a 25% deposit within 72 hrs after the auction closes. Full payment within 1 week after the auction closes. you or your shipper will need to travel to sunny beautiful Campbell River B.C Canada to take possession of the vehicle,which is in good road worthy condition.   good luck
 A note to U.S bidders,it can be tricky to reg these diesels in the u.s ,so check your state regs.

Japanese dealer petitioning Lexus for luxury van [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Used to be that if you wanted a luxury automobile - especially one to be chauffeured around in - your choices were basically limited to a sedan. It could be bigger or smaller, more or less expensive, depending on your needs and budget, but it was always going to have four doors and a trunk. But these days the rich and famous are looking elsewhere for their commodious forms of pampering transportation. There are, of course, the crossovers and SUVs, which only seem to be getting bigger and more expensive thanks to the likes of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Range Rover L and upcoming Bentley sport-ute. But luxury vans are becoming the new big thing.
That's the point that one dealer in Japan is trying to make to Toyota. The dealership owner himself reasons that if he's going out on the town, he's likely to take his chauffeured Lexus LS. But if he's taking a few friends along, even the biggest sedan isn't going to cut it. So he takes a Toyota Alphard (pictured above, also known as the Vellfire), a JDM van that's even bigger than a Voxy/Noah or Sienna but hardly a high-end affair. That's why he's asking Lexus to make a luxury van.
The idea may seem a little far-fetched, but isn't without precedent. It didn't take much for Lexus to transform the Land Cruiser into the LX and thus create its first luxury SUV. And as Mercedes has shown with pimped-out versions of the Sprinter and now with the debut of the new V-Class in Geneva, there's clearly a market for it... in some countries, anyway. The only question in our minds is how long it's going to take other luxury automakers to catch on, because let's face it: the Chrysler Town & Country ain't gonna cut it for those used to be driven around in a Maybach.

Toyota hits 10 million Camry models sold in US

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

This year marks 30 years of sales for the Toyota Camry in the US, and in that time, it has amassed more than 10 million sales. In its first year on the market, the Camry sold 52,651 units, but it has gone on to become the best-selling car in the US for the last 11 years.
Toyota says that "virtually all" current Camry models sold in the US are made here, and three-quarters of all Camry contents are domestically sourced. Scroll down for the official press release from Toyota, and be sure to check out our gallery of images showing every model year and bodystyle of the Camry since it first went on sale in 1983.

Toyota teases 2014 4Runner, will debut on April 27

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

The 2014 Toyota 4Runner appears to be getting a styling refresh that is as out of the ordinary for Toyota as the venue at which it will be debuting. Launching on April 27 at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, CA, the 2014 4Runner looks to be getting more of an in-your-face design. Toyota says this marks the first time it has ever revealed a new product at a music festival.
While we only see two images of the updated 2014 4Runner, the new headlights break from the rectangular shape present on the current model for an edgy, scalloped shape. Below the headlights are vertical air inlets - looking quite similar to the 2014 Subaru Forester XT - but it isn't clear if all models will get these or just special trim levels. The other image Toyota released was of the smoked, LED taillight.
As the presenting sponsor of the music festival, Toyota will have legendary off-road driver Ivan "Ironman" Stewart at the show as well as an off-road driving course for people to drive the automaker's trucks and SUVs. Scroll down for a press release giving some additional information about both the 2014 4Runner and the Stagecoach Music Festival.
