Find or Sell Used Cars, Trucks, and SUVs in USA

1983 Toyota Land Cruiser Hj60: 5-spd, 4x4 , Diesel on 2040-cars

Year:1983 Mileage:330
Location:

I am selling a rare 3b manual transmission Diesel truck.  The 3B motors are rare and very sought after because they are known to go to 1 million miles plus.  This is a working mans truck. She will go wherever you need to go and beyond. The rebuilt transmission is smooth and shifts through gears effortlessly. Rare 3b motor with just over 330 000miles.   She starts well everytime, with a manual glow plug switch to be able to run glow plugs as long as you need to.

The frame looks to be in good shape. Have a folder with receipts of last owners repairs and services. Recently changed muffler, Alternator and vacuum pump, and heater core.  Lots of maintenace and upkeep.  Truck is in good shape and needs a good home to get finishing touches.  Tires are about 60-70% left.  There is a small crack in the windshield.

There are some rust spots in back door hitch area, and few spots throughout.  This is a great rebuild project for someone with the time and passion for these trucks.  This truck would be great to be equipped with a Veg-Conversion system.   If WVO has ever been a desire, this truck would do super well with it.

Bid with confidence.  I am in no way a specialist with these trucks or every had one before so feel free to ask questions to get as much info as you need.  The truck is located in Squamish, British Columbia. and I am willing to drive it as far as Seattle unless you contact me and we work something else out.   Please do all research for importing the vehicle into the U.S.  I have not done it before so I do not know.   The vehicle is in stock condition so as far as i know it should be fairly easy. 

Thank You

Toyota recalling 1.9M Prius models globally for software update

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

Toyota has announced a set of voluntary recalls covering 960,000 Prius, RAV4, Tacoma and Lexus RX350 models in the United States to address two separate issues. Worldwide, Toyota will have to recall a total of 1.9 million Prius cars.
The Prius recall affects about 700,000 2010-2014 models in the US, due to a fault in the motor/generator control ECU and hybrid control ECU software. It says that the current software could result in high temperatures on certain transistors and possibly damage them. When it fails, the error forces the car into failsafe mode. Toyota says that in rare circumstances, it could even shut the hybrid system down while the car is being driven.
Toyota spokeswoman Shino Yamada told Automotive News that the software update should take about 40 minutes, and dealers would start to be notified about affected vehicles today. She also told them that the first reported glitch occurred in May 2011 in the US when the system overheated and the car entered failsafe mode. The affected cars were built between March 2009 and Feb. 5, 2014, according to Automotive News. Toyota says that it has received no reports of accidents or injuries caused by either fault.

Toyota recalls 4,000 Tacoma pickups over valve springs

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

When you build as many cars and trucks as Toyota does, you're bound to run into the occasional recall. In the past month alone, the Japanese auto giant has recalled over 800,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza models over problems with the air-conditioning units, and 10,000 more before that over windshield wiper issues. Now Toyota has issued another recall notice, but this time for far fewer vehicles.
The recall revolves around the engine valve springs in the 2013 and 2014 Tacoma, specifically those fitted with the standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and not the optional 4.0-liter V6. The issue is that the valve springs are prone to cracking and breaking over time, and results from improper maintenance of the manufacturing equipment used by one of the two suppliers that outfit Toyota with the components in question.
All told, some 4,000 vehicles will be subject to the voluntary recall, the owners of which will receive notice by mail. If you think that could be you and want to get a jump on the problem, you can read the announcement below and call Toyota yourself.

Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners

Thu, 16 May 2013

A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.
