Blue exterior, gray interior

This truck comes with 30 years of incredibly detailed service records. The binder includes the original window sticker, details about every gasoline fill-up since 1991, every hose, filter, and spark plug change, as well as larger items like radiator, brakes, and 2F engine replacement (by Jasper Engines, Oct 2005 at 246,786 miles).

Built in Japan (Dec 1982) and raised in Colorado, it has been garage-kept for its entire life. The original owner (Aurora, CO) sold the vehicle with 30,000 miles in May 1985 to the previous owner (Boulder, CO), who used it as a daily driver. Between 1985 and 2011, it was a family-used vehicle; it has not been used for rock climbing or off-roading. My fiance, the third owner, bought it in August 2011. In October 2011, it passed vehicle inspection in Massachusetts. During the last two years, she has used it has her daily driver, as well as road tripping from Minnesota to the east coast and back a couple of times. This truck was built tough and still runs strong.

Non-smoking owners.
Minimal surface rust: removal and repair of all body rust, as well as a professional paint job was completed in 2005
A/C blows cold.
No cracks in the dash. All switches and dash vents work perfectly. 
Clean headliner (although one small area above the right rear window has come untucked, see pic). 
Liftgate stays up on its own.
Tires have good tread and are not weathered.

Sale includes all service records. Most recent work completed: 
Valve adjustment: 284.024 miles
New tachometer: 283,660 miles
Tie rod and relay rod ends: 286,305 miles
Firestone Alignment: 286,313 miles
Distributor cap, seal, and ignition rotor: 289,252 miles

The original radio was replaced with a Sony CD player in 2004, but I have the original radio in a box. The speaker on the passenger side door wasn't connected when my fiance bought it, so the only working speaker is on the driver side door.

ACCIDENT: In October 2012, the truck was parked in a parking lot when someone struck the driver side doors and fender, pushing the truck into the car next to it, thereby denting the right front fender as well. It has not been driven much since the accident, but we have taken it on short drives every couple of weeks to keep it running smoothly. It doesn't look as good as it used to, but the truck is still driveable. The left side doors do close (with some effort); they do not leak during rain storms. There was no damage to any of the glass. The repair (or replacement) of the body panels and left-side door column could return this truck to its former glory. 

Before bidding on it, we welcome you to come inspect the truck in person.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

"Oh yeah, Toyota still makes the Tacoma." Admit it, that's what you just said to yourself. It's a perfectly natural reaction, but the Tacoma has been quietly anchoring its segment for years, outselling every other compact pickup without making too much of a fuss. Toyota hasn't neglected the Tacoma - it was updated in 2012 with a revised nose and interior as the most noteable changes.
In a world awash with high-value fullsize pickups all vying for your attention, the Tacoma still charms more than a few buyers out of their cash. I hooked a Tacoma for a week to see whether it still has enough to recommend it.

Next Toyota Prius coming in 60-mpg 'Eco Grade' version?

Tue, Sep 23 2014

There's some mystery surrounding the fuel economy level of the next-generation Toyota Prius. The closest we've had to an official number is 55 miles per gallon, which was hinted at by Toyota Motor Corporation's managing officer, Satoshi Ogiso, last year. That number wasn't an official target, but the company even provided a graphic (above) showing how each next generation Prius beat the previous one by four or five mpg. Since the current, third-gen model gets 50, well, we have been left to guess that 55 is the next logical target. But, according to a new report in Automotive News, the new, fourth-generation Prius that's due next year will come in two versions, with one having a bigger ego – sorry, eco – than the other. AN says that the model will arrive with a standard nickel-metal hydride battery pack in a version that gets "about 55 mpg" and then a new "eco grade" version with a li-ion battery that "will be rated at more than 60 mpg." AN says this information came from company executives who were speaking at an August meeting with Toyota dealers. Our sources within Toyota say that they haven't heard anything about two high-efficiency models, so we'll take this with the requisite grain of salt. The current version of the Prius Plug-In Hybrid does use lithium-ion batteries, but this is the non-plug model the dealers are talking about. We think. The dual-battery strategy is certainly a rumor we've heard before. We had thought that the li-ion pack would be for an extended EV range (the current Prius has a barely noticeable EV-only range), but such a pack would be lighter and could boost efficiency, too. In other words, we look forward to hearing more during the upcoming auto show season.
