1981 Toyota Fj40 on 2040-cars
Prosper, Texas, United States
|
I am selling a beautiful 1981 Toyota FJ40 that is in great condition. It is all original with the 2F engine that runs great. It has 214k miles but 70k miles were riding behind a RV bus. The engine is very clean and it does not leak a bit of oil. The front and rear jump seats are in great condition. All electrical works and all gauges work, except for fuel gauge. I think it just needs a sending unit. There is no rust on this FJ, the previous owner just had it repainted using the original correct Toyota Freeborn Red. The paint job on the FJ is awesome and looks great. Pictures usually make things looking better then they are, not here, the FJ looks better in person. The top fiber glass top is in excellent condition and it also was sanded down and repainted. During the painting the whether stripping on the doors was taken off and so was the headliner, so those need to be replace. Cool Cruisers of Texas sells both of them for roughly $150 bucks. If I was going to keep FJ, it demands a better set of tires. The ones on have roughly 60-70% tread left. This FJ spent its life in AZ, so the underside is in great condition. With all the fjs I get, I am going to flush the system out and give it a good old fashion tune up. I am going to drain oil and replace with full synthetic oil and toyota Filter, Wics air filter, Wics gas filter, drain and replace radiator fluid, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires and many other small items.
This FJ is in great overall condition, but it is not a showroom condition. With a few small upgrades this FJ will continue to rise in value. Please let me know if you have any questions. Your are welcome to preview the FJ. The FJ is being sold as is and does not have any type of warranty. I do not need help selling this FJ, scammers will be reported and low ballers will not get a response. A $2,000 deposited is due within 24 hours after the auction and remaining balance is due within three days. Please make sure you have the funds if your going to bid. I do NOT accept paypal as there have been issues with it, so wire or cash preferred. I will help out with shipping, but buyer will pay the cost of shipping. I have a lady that has moved over 10 fjs for me over the years and she is very fare and honest. I will be happy to give you her name and number if you need a shipper. Thanks |

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
China's largest dealer body pushes back against foreign automakers over huge inventories
Mon, Jan 5 2015Do not think for a second that automakers forcing inventory on dealers in order to pad the numbers is a ruse known only in the US. Stories of individual brands have hinted at the trouble Chinese dealerships are having trying to move units as the country's economic growth remains hot but comes off the boil, like the one revealing that 95 percent of Toyota-FAW showrooms are losing money. Yet Toyota isn't the only culprit, and the issue has become so dire that the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), the largest dealer body in the country, has written to the government to complain. Chinese car sales are expected to close out the year with an annualized growth of six-percent, down from last year's 14 percent when targets were set, while in the background the pace of overall economic expansion is the slowest its been since the early nineties. Automakers, shipping cars on schedule to make their earlier targets, have blown up inventories such that they are an average of 1.8 times monthly sales, when the preferred multiplier is from 0.9 to 1.2. According to the CADA, the price wars and necessary incentives mean that only 30 percent of dealers are operating in the black. That number is down a whopping forty percent since 2010. In response, Toyota has already said it will not make its 2014 target of 1.1 million cars sold. We're a long way from 2012, when Toyota planned on selling 1.8 million cars in China in 2015, a target that's now as realistic as a manticore. BMW, Honda and Nissan have erased numbers on their spreadsheets, too; BMW growth dropped from 20 percent to 8 percent midyear after it began "reducing wholesale supplies," and Honda has been reworking its plans as sales have decreased each of the past six months. It's a big deal for Chinese dealers to begin protesting publicly, the CADA saying, "In the past, dealers were angry, but dared not speak out. But now, they have to shout because the situation is getting so unbearable." With six-percent growth forecast for next year and dealers unwilling to remain underwater, The Year of the Sheep coming in 2015 could portend meaning beyond the zodiac.

2015 Toyota Sienna
Thu, 25 Sep 2014It's hard to love a minivan, but it's very, very easy to use one. More than any other kind of vehicle - save a panel van, perhaps - the minivan is the most appliance-like of four-wheeled transportation devices. And most minivan buyers don't need to love their purchases; they just need to use them. So when it comes to a minivan's driving dynamics, who cares?
Well, we do. So we perked right up when Toyota talked about refinements it made to the 2015 Sienna, starting with some 142 added spot welds made to the body structure. Normally not stop-the-presses stuff, but Toyota says the added reinforcements prompted Sienna engineers to recalibrate the springs and shocks for improved handling, and our very limited wheel time along the (admittedly benign) roads on the Big Island of Hawaii revealed the 2015 Sienna SE model's handling to be tidier and more engaging than you'd expect for a porky, 4,560-pound, eight-passenger box on wheels.
