I am selling my 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60. This has been re-listed because the winning bidder did not pay (And of course eBay doesn't care).
**READ THIS** DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO PAY!!! The previous winner has been reported to eBay, but has already cost me $50 for listing the truck. If you win the auction and don't pay, you will be reported to eBay for a non paying bidder, which will effect your bidding capabilities in the future. In short, make sure you have your money together in a timely fashion and don't waste my time or interfere with a bidder who may actually want to buy the truck.
Exterior: The body of this truck is in average condition for a Land Cruiser. It does have rust on the bottom and underside of the truck. 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.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. I will include a set of new shoes for the winning bidder. 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. I have been driving it every day and it's a nice, cool truck to drive around in. I'd trust it to drive anywhere!
Other: Before I purchased the Land Cruiser, a previous owner at some point removed some of the emissions equipment for better performance. Please note that Indiana does not have emissions testing statewide, so I cannot guarantee this would pass in your state. If you live in a state that exempts vehicles over a certain age, please check with your appropriate state office to verify. I cannot be held liable if you fail to make sure of your state's emission laws.
Title: The title for the Land Cruiser is branded as CLEAR. The title is in MY name with no liens and is completely ready to be signed over to a new owner. The winning bidder will also receive a bill of sale.
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. Anyone with ANY previous feedback at any point in the past will have their bids cancelled. If you have an unusually low feedback score, your bid will be cancelled unless you make contact with me prior. Also, bidders with zero feedback will have their bids cancelled unless they contact me first at audstuen@gmail.com.
Winning Bidder: By winning this auction, you agree that you have read this entire ad and agree with all terms and conditions. Within 24 hours of the auction close, you will send $500 via PayPal as a deposit. The remainder will be paid with a certified check. That check is due within 7 days of the auction close. If you fail to pay, you will be reported as a non-paying bidder. Again, if you don't intend to pay, do not bid.
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 I reserve the right to end the auction until I receive money from the winning bidder.
If you wish to contact me via phone, feel free to do so. My number is (574)-301-9709. I will also accept offers away from the auction as well.

When Jeremy Clarkson, outspoken automotive journalist, ex- Top Gear host, and co-host on The Grand Tour, drives a car he doesn't like he doesn't pull his punches. As Jezza harshly puts it, cars shouldn't just be a form of transportation. These 10 cars made Clarkson's "the terrible 10" list on his column in The Sunday Times for lacking imagination and not giving the journalist "the Fizz," which his list of top 10 cars did. In typical Clarkson fashion, the list is controversial. Some of the cars on Clarkson's list have received praise from other outlets, which shouldn't really come as a surprise since he usually goes against the majority's opinion. Nonetheless, there's at least one car that will catch you off guard. To get a glimpse at Clarkson's reviews and the entire list of cars, head over to his column in The Sunday Times.

Looks like someone was able to read the future back in July. That's when rumors first circulated that Toyota's upcoming fuel cell vehicle will be called the Mirai. Today, Toyota president Akio Toyoda confirmed the name alongside plans to build out a hydrogen refueling infrastructure in the US Northeast.
In Japanese, mirai (??) means "future," which is a fitting name for a car that Toyota believes represents the direction the auto industry will go in the coming years. In a promotional video announcing the name, Toyoda said, "For [Toyota], this isn't just another car. This is an opportunity - an opportunity to really make a difference. And making a difference is what Toyota is all about."
To help that future come into existence, Toyota CEO Jim Lentz also disclosed the vague outline of a fuel cell infrastructure investment that Toyota and partner Air Liquide will make in a five-state Northeastern corridor that consists of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. The Mirai will be available there in 2015 and Toyota is going to build 12 stations in and around New York and Boston to support the launch. More details will be available later.
