I am selling my 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60.
Exterior: The body of this truck is in average condition for a Land Cruiser. It does have rust on the bottom of the body (Rockers, wheel wells, etc) as well as underneath/frame. Please note that this vehicle has spent most of its life in Indiana and is subject to harsh winters. Most Land Cruisers have rust, so this should be no shock to a buyer. As far as I could tell, There is no rust on the roof or tailgate (These are other usual Land Cruiser rust spots). Some of the rust has been repaired/prevented by a previous owner. From 10-15 feet away, the truck looks pretty good for the age. It's still certainly a head turner, especially in the Midwest where classic Land Cruisers are VERY uncommon. The roof was recently painted with a white Plasti-Dip spray. This spray can be removed like a sticker if you do not like the look. The same can be said for the grille and front/rear bumpers. Again, it removes like a sticker causing no damage to the surface below. I had this done to customize the appearance and give it a more classic Land Cruiser look!
Interior: The interior of this truck is in good condition for the year. The dash board does have a few cracks in it. You can purchase a color matched dash cover for around $100 right here on eBay. The seats are in good shape, but the driver's seat was replaced with one from a newer Toyota, and is a different gray cloth material, but doesn't look bad. In my research, I have found that Dodge Neon seats are a direct replacement for these trucks. I am in the process of locating a clean set of these to include in the sale (However, I cannot guarantee I find them before the auction is over). If I do find a set, you will receive the Land Cruiser seats with the truck. The carpet is in decent shape, but has nice rubber floor mats to protect it. Recently installed was a Pioneer CD player with a direct iPod control cable that will charge and connect your iPod while using it. Additionally, new front and rear speakers were installed (Kicker/Sony). The sound quality is nice!. All the glass is in good shape with no cracks. The door locks and windows work just fine (Crank windows/manual locks). The headliner is very clean and not sagging (Rare for a Land Cruiser). Also added were aftermarket Oil Pressure, Coolant Temperature, and volt meter gauges. The factory gauges work, but in my research I found that many Land Cruiser enthusiasts prefer aftermarket gauges to the OEM gauges due to the ability to get a more accurate reading from the new gauges.
Mechanical: This is one of the smoothest, quietest running vehicles I have ever owned. It idles nicely and drives smooth. From a distance, it is so quiet you can barely hear it run! The 4x4 works and the hubs lock and unlock with ease. The brakes work just fine and stops the vehicle well. The rear shoes may need to be replaced down the road because they make noise from time to time when stopping. I will include a set of new shoes for the winning bidder. Additionally, it will need new shocks or shock mounts, as they make noise when going over a bump. It also does not have a spare tire (I have no idea why). Newer parts are a full tune up, fluid changes, carburetor sorting and tune, power steering pump, thermostat, clutch master cylinder, choke cable, CD player & speakers (As indicated above), and a new battery with tooless/quick disconnect terminals. All exterior lights work properly.
Other: The previous owner informed me that some emissions equipment was removed some time ago. If you are in a state that checks for emissions on this old of a vehicle, you will need to check about that status. Indiana does not perform mandated emissions testing statewide, thus this Land Cruiser has not been subjected to any testing and I do not know if this would/will pass your state's emission requirements. Additionally, some time ago the Air Conditioning compressor and it's hoses going to the inside of the car were removed (I am unsure why). This truck IS equipped with A/C, so you should be able to source the other pieces from a salvage yard, parts store, or other places to get your A/C working again. The heat is HOT and will keep you warm in cold weather. It even has a blower under the passenger seat that can be adjusted from hot to cold, and it still works!
Mileage/Title/Additional Information: The title on this truck is CLEAN AND CLEAR, and not rebuilt. It is registered in my name and ready to be signed over to a new owner. The mileage information on the title, as issued by the State of Indiana is exempt. I was informed by a representative from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles that vehicles over ten years old are usually subject to being labeled as exempt from mileage. Also, this truck has 159,000 miles. The speedometer needle broke while driving and I replaced the entire gauge cluster with a different one, so the odometer reads 119,000 miles. Again, this is exempt from the State of Indiana odometer information as indicated on the title, but I wanted to inform of the speedometer change-out. Regardless, this is still low mileage for a Land Cruiser, and really a Toyota in general. It is very hard to find one with less than 200,000 miles on it.
Bidding: By bidding on this auction, you agree that you have read all information in this listing and understand the condition, age, and anything mentioned in the title. I will check all bidder's feedback. If you have been known to be a non-paying bidder in the past, I will contact eBay and cancel your bid. Please only bid if you intend to purchase the Toyota.
Winning Bidder: By winning this auction, you agree to all terms as disclosed in this auction. By 48 hours after the auction close, you will pay a $500 deposit via PayPal, additionally, you will also pay a $75 handling/document preparation fee (This is on top of the entire purchase price, so Purchase Price + $75= Total Amount and also includes a final wash, wax, and interior detailing). By the end of seven days of winning the auction, you agree to send a certified check from your bank for the remaining balance. The vehicle and title will not be released until this check clears with my bank. This is pretty standard for vehicles sold on eBay. If you do not pay any amount by the end of the seven days, you will be reported to eBay as a non-paying bidder, and you agree to be charged a $50, non-refundable fee for failing to pay. This will be done via PayPal and is, again, not refundable. Additionally, you forfeit any chance of being able to purchase the vehicle and will be blocked if I must re-list the Land Cruiser.
Shipping: Shipping of this vehicle is the buyer's responsibility. I agree to work with the buyer and shipping company to arrange a time for the vehicle to be picked up. Please choose a shipper with a good reputation.
Other Information: All information provided is given according to the best knowledge of the seller at the time of this listing. This vehicle is a used vehicle, and is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Registration, insurance, and any additional fees in the future are the sole responsibility of the buyer. There are no refunds or returns on the vehicle. Also, I do have this truck for sale locally, and reserve the right to end this auction early if it sells locally.

Toyota has had plenty of problems in recent years due to claims of unintended acceleration, and now here's a video that actually catches such a claim on video. The driver of this 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander claims that the crossover's accelerator got stuck causing the vehicle to slam into the house twice, and resulting in damage to the Highlander, the house and two vehicles inside the garage. While we don't know when this accident took place, the video was uploaded to YouTube back in January.
It is impossible to determine what actually happened in this video, but what we do know is that a security camera captures the Highlander slowly pulling into the driveway before it lunges forward slamming into the garage. With the tires squealing and metal crunching, the driver then shifts between reverse and drive a couple times causing even more property damage before spinning out in the street and finally being able to shift into Park. Scroll down to see the video for yourself. Whether unintended acceleration or driver error, this was undoubtedly a harrowing ordeal.

Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
