Update 7/22/2014. Truck just cleared Colombian inspections now and is scheduled to ship on the freighter Friday with estimated arrival July 31, 2014. Truck then will need to clear US customs in the following week and ship one day to Tampa. Estimating August 7th through the 10th. $5000 deposit holds this truck for your inspection.

Truck is a 1982 not a 1980. Truck is in a container being shipped into Tampa, Florida arriving around August 10, 2014. The truck will be titled in Florida or can be titled in the buyer's state. Truck has no emissions equipment like the USA models for 1982 so we will need to confirm your state's regulations. Most regulations have a model year waiver.

The VIN number will be the chassis number which is FJ40359271.

Volcan 4x4, LLC based in Tampa, FL and Medellin, Colombia brings this very exciting truck to the US market. The truck is named Pacho. This is a rare late model 1982 FJ40.

Approximately 700 FJ40s were imported into the US in 1982 making this a collectable truck.

We sourced this truck from an airline pilot who upgraded the truck and kept it garaged.

This truck has thousands of dollars in accessories and upgrades. Volcan 4x4 then spent 30 days overhauling what was already a very clean truck.

This truck has:

4 inch Rough Country lift kit with gas charged shocks

5 90% tread 285/75/16 mud tires (33 inch tires)

5 black alloy rims

new AISIN hubs

4 speed H41 transmission with 4.10 gears (Colombian spec)

vent windows

7 passenger layout with newer vinyl. door panels are new.

custom roll bar

working AC

pioneer stereo with new speakers

power windows

performance header and brand new oversized exhaust with stainless steel muffler

custom bumper with WARN winch

Reese hitch

newer battery

4 drum brakes (recently reviewed)

power steering with custom leather covered steering wheel

custom fitted vinyl floor mats with new insulation up front

floors rust free and recently textured painted in beige

new rear half doors

2 coats of new black protective paint under the truck

This truck starts immediately and sounds fantastic with the header and exhaust. Not too loud but powerful. This is the most powerful and quickest truck in our fleet. This Pacho powers up the local 8000 foot Colombian highway in 3rd gear where the other trucks had to drop to 2nd. Steers straight and stops well. The ride is tight/hard due to the lift kit.

Truck will be sold mileage exempt via Florida law due to the model year but given some Colombian documents and working odometer looks to be 176,000 miles.

The paint is very nice in original code Dune Beige. It has a touch of pearl white in it. There is a slight scratch on the driver's side but overall very clean. Painted black under the fenders.

Very handsome truck gets a LOT of attention.

Compression test was in the 120 range. This truck outperforms another truck that we had in the 150 range. Very strong motor.

A $5000 refundable deposit to Volcan 4x4, LLC secures this truck until it arrives in Tampa. Truck is priced aggressively in the market at $35,900. This is our 5th truck since we started Volcan 4x4 and we price the trucks to sell quickly before or within 30 days once they reach the US. We have the advantage of being able to pick among very nice rust free Colombian FJs. This is a fantastic late model lifted FJ40.

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
