Selling my much loved BJ40 Landcruiser Diesel. Originally sold in Luxembourg Europe. (has heat, no air. also has power brakes)
 Clean Arizona title in my name. Well maintained BJ40 with 57000 Kilometers on the clock. I assume this is correct looking at how tight the car feels on the road and how accurate it shifts into it's gears. Clutch feels like new. It drives tight and has always had it's yearly roadworthy inspection, first in Luxembourg and later in it's (mostly garaged) life in The Netherlands where I obtained her. These road tests are very strict, all rubber underneath the car such as fuel and brake hoses, boots and mounts must be in good condition to pass. There can be no play in joints, bearings and steering system.

 The previous owner bought her to haul wood out of a forest and the occasional bay of hay for his horse. He did this a few times and then stored the BJ for about 7 years until he decided to sell it due to the changed road-tax laws in The Netherlands. (now this BJ is no longer tax exempt, as it's not 40 years old yet)

I have driven it all over with much pleasure, in Holland and in the USA. It cruises fine at speeds up to 60 MPH, even with the terrain tires. It will go faster, but I'd install different tires for that. Chevrolet wheels fit by the way. The wheels on it are the original wheels that can be taken apart to change the inner tube. (in case you're stuck in the Sahara with a flat tire by yourself)
The top comes off, I never did that though. It's quite the job, lots of bolts.
The engine runs very well and has plenty of power. Very torqy famous 4-cylinder Toyota diesel that gets around 27-28MpG all around. I measured by distance and fuel used, as the odometer is in Kilometers and a tad off because of the huge wheels. (when doing 110 on the clock, you're cruising 57 on the GPS)

4 wheel drive works flawless, and so does the immensely powerful winch that is driven by the engine. (on the transfer case)

Paint is of good driver quality. It shines up great but is not show quality. I get lots of compliments though. There are a few nickle sized dents in the hood.
 I noticed a rust spot on the passenger wheel well and 2 quarter size spots under the driver seat. on the passenger door jamb is rust beginning to show. This is an older restoration so expect imperfections in the paint. There is also rust on the rear cargo doors, and I have bought two new doors that will be included in the sale. All in all, for a 37 year old landcruiser the body is in great shape, and so is the undercarriage.

Seats are not original but they are very comfortable Recaro seats. The radio does work but is not hooked up as it's a 24 volts system and I'm not sure how that works. All lights etc work, only the interior light above the driver seat doesn't. One of the 3 horn buttons on the steering wheel does not function.

Bid with confidence on this great fun cruiser. Ready for work or play or just to drive it for fun like I did. Be sure you can afford it prior to bidding!
This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Non refundable deposit of $650. Zero or low feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding. More foto's available upon request.

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique

Toyota recalling 10k vehicles to fix wiper switches

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall covering approximately 10,000 cars in the United States. Affected models include the 2013-14 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2013-14 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid, and the brand new 2014 Corolla.
The problem, as Toyota explains it, is that, "During manufacture of the wiper switch assembly in the involved vehicles, certain contacts on the switch terminal could have been manufactured incorrectly." This could lead to a short in the circuit when the wiper switch is moved between "off" and "mist," and thus, cause the windshield wipers to stop working. Not good.
Toyota will contact owners via first class mail, and the vehicles can be repaired at dealerships, free of charge. Have a look below for the automaker's official statement.

Honda Accord barely edges Toyota Prius as California's best-selling car

Wed, Feb 18 2015

The Toyota Prius definitely still matters, at least to car buyers in California. The long-lived hybrid was the state's second-bestselling vehicle in 2014 by moving 71,210 units across all of its variants, including the Prius C. The Toyota was the leader there in 2012 and 2013 but lost the sales crown this time – just barely – to the Honda Accord, which sold 71,578 examples. The results in the Golden State illustrate just how different the auto market there is compared to the rest of the country. Prius sales slumped last year nationwide with a drop of 11.5 percent to 207,372 examples sold. However, according to the LA Times, the model's numbers ticked up two percent in California in 2014. Taken by itself, the standard hatchback model would have been the sixth-bestseller there, with 39,036 units purchased. While the Toyota showed modest growth, it wasn't enough to fend off the Accord's 17 percent year-over-year jump in the state, though. According to the Los Angeles Times, the rest of the California top ten included the Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Corolla, Ford F-Series, CR-V, Nissan Altima, Sentra and Chevrolet Silverado, respectively. That list was quite a departure from the nationwide bestsellers in 2014, which was led by the F-Series, Silverado and Ram pickups. The Camry was the country's foremost car on the list in fourth place overall to beat the Accord in fifth. The Prius didn't break into the ten biggest sellers in the US last year.
