1988 Fj62 Toyota Land Cruiser *** Excellent Condition *** on 2040-cars
Covington, Louisiana, United States
condition. Originally a CA rig, it has been in Louisiana for about a year and only driven about 7 days a month. 184,788 original miles. It is garage kept every day and is an EXCELLENT survivor. The only rust on it is a few spots on the rear bumper where some dings have removed the chrome, but that is easily replaceable. I removed the seat cover of the drivers seat just for listing purposes only. The exterior is incredible and has no dents. It has extremely low miles and the car runs and drives like a low mile FJ 62 Land Cruiser should. I have maintenance records of the most recent care it has received before I purchased it. It has the original owners manual. The truck has had a thorough inspection by Toyota of Covington Louisiana where they specialize in FJ62s for this region. They are the GO TO SHOP for the Louisiana Land Krewesers Club. If you have ever wanted a pristine FJ 62, this is it. The interior is equally exceptional. No tears on the drivers seat or any seat and no foul odors. The seats have brand new covers from Specter Off road and was once owned by the owner so you know it was taken care of. Spector also installed the suspension lift, and info can be found at on their website. For some reason I can't post the link here but will email it to you if you ask for it. In fact, the truck in the photo on their page is the truck I am selling. It also has a new stereo and Kicker subwoofer in it. The AC is ice cold and the heat is hot. There are no shimmies rattles or shakes and the tires have plenty of life in them. Tires are Michelins and the rims are stock and very nice. Mechanically the car has been fully serviced. 170,000 miles All fluids changed Front and Rear Diffs Transfer Case Transmillion Coolant Heavy Duty Transmission Oil Cooler added 171,000 Coolant hoses replaced--ALL 172,000 Transmission rebuilt 174,000 New Suspension installed Tie Rod / Drag Link replaced 175,000 New Tires and Alignment 33 in BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN (nipples still on tires) Less than 10,000 miles on new tires. 177,000 Full Tune Up Spark Plugs replaced Plug Wires replaced Dist Cap replaced Rotor replaced New POV valve Valve Clearance Adjustment 177,811 Transmission Fluid / Filter Replaced 181,181 Oil Change with Filter change CASTROL GTX 20W50 used only. The undercarriage is as good as the topside and there are no leaks of any kind. I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere. I have a very fair number in mind for the car so feel free to contact. It is listed locally so I reserve the right to sell it locally before bidding ends. They don't get much better than this without some serious investment. I am selling it because with a new family, I just don't have the time to enjoy it like I should. Add up the cost of the tires, new suspension, seat covers and front brush guard and you're looking at well over $4000 alone. Add the peace of mind from the 100% checkup from the Toyota Maintenance Dept, and you've got a solid rig. I'm happy to send more pics or a video if you need. Thanks |

US Congress lets $8,000 hydrogen vehicle tax credit expire
Mon, Dec 22 2014When Toyota introduced the 2016 Mirai last month in preparation for a launch late next year, it said that the hydrogen car will have a $57,500 MSRP and that there will be a federal tax credit available worth up to $8,000. The problem, as we noted at the time, is that that federal credit was set to expire at the end of 2014. The technical language of the current rule says that someone who buys a fuel cell vehicle, "may claim a credit for the certified amount for a fuel cell vehicle if it is placed in service by the taxpayer after Dec. 31, 2005, and is purchased on or before Dec. 31, 2014." With the 113th Congress now finished up for the year and legislators headed home for the holidays, we know one thing for certain: the federal tax credit for hydrogen vehicles was not updated and will end as we're all singing Auld Lang Syne next week. All of this isn't to say that Mirai buyers won't be able to take $8,000 off the price of the car 12 months from now. For proof of that, we only need to look at other alternative fuel tax incentives and realize that this Congress simply isn't moving fast enough to deal with things that are expiring right now. One of the last things that the 113th Congress did in December was to take up the tax credits that expired at the end of 2013 and renew some of them. Jay Friedland, Plug In America's senior policy advisor, told AutoblogGreen that PIA and other likeminded organizations worked with Congress to extended the electronic vehicle charging station (technically: EVSE) tax credit that was part of the Alternative Refueling Tax Credit in IRS Section 30(C) through the end of 2014. "Individuals can deduct 30 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing an EVSE up to $1,000; businesses, 30 percent up to $30,000," he said. "This tax credit is applied to any system placed into service by 12/31/14 and is retroactive to the beginning of the year. So go out and buy your favorite EV driver an EVSE for the holidays," he said. An electric motorcycle credit was killed at the last minute as Congress was getting ready to leave, but H.R. 5771 did extend the Alternative Fuels Excise Tax Credits for liquefied hydrogen and other alternative fuels. These sorts of tax credit battles happen all year long. In July, Blumenthal introduced the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Infrastructure Act of 2014, which never got out of the Finance Committee. Back to the hydrogen vehicle situation.
Mystery shoppers love Infiniti, hate Tesla
Tue, Jul 12 2016Infiniti, followed by Lexus tied with Mercedes-Benz took the top two spots for best sales experience according to mystery shoppers from the latest Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index, while EV manufacturer Tesla recorded the lowest overall score. Not surprisingly, premium brands dominated the top ranks. Including the three already mentioned, luxury brands occupied seven of the top ten spots and included Audi, BMW, Porsche, and the only American brand to crack the upper echelon, Cadillac. Toyota, Volkswagen, and Nissan rounded out the first ten positions. The news for domestic automakers isn't good. Aside from Caddy, the only other star-spangled automaker to score above the industry average is Chrysler. The rest of FCA, most of GM, and all of Ford fell below the line. But Pied Piper's mystery shoppers handed Tesla the biggest walloping – the company is ten full points below the next lowest brand, Volvo, and its score of 86 is 17 below the average of 103. It's baffling, considering the company's touted direct-sales model. "Tesla leaves me scratching my head," Fred O'Hagan, Pied Piper's president and CEO, told Wards Auto. "They own all of their stores, so you would think each one would be doing the same thing. But they're not. Tesla is consistent in its inconsistencies." O'Hagan added that there's a "huge variation" in Tesla's store-to-store effectiveness, and that in some cases, shoppers found showroom workers that acted more like "museum curators," Wards Auto reports. It might be popular to call Tesla the Apple of the car world, but based on Pied Piper's work, the brand has a long way to go to emulate the uniform shopping experience of an Apple Store. The news might be bad for Tesla, but even for the brands that scored below average, there's cause for celebration. Only Tesla and Mini lost points in this year's rankings, and only Mercedes and Lincoln held steady. Every other brand, including Infiniti, which topped the index for the first time, gained at least one point. The biggest improvements belong to Porsche, Land Rover, and Mitsubishi, which all jumped five points. Pied Piper's annual Prospect Satisfaction Index uses mystery shoppers – over 6,100 this year – from across the country to assess dealers and generate rankings from over 50 individual factors.

Toyota bids farewell to FJ Cruiser with Ultimate Edition at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Happy trails, to you... As we reported back in August, the FJ Cruiser is headed to the great automotive graveyard in the sky, and Toyota is offering a fitting eulogy in the form of the 2014 Trail Teams Ultimate Edition, which was just unveiled here at the 2013 SEMA Show.
Unlike many special edition models, the Ultimate FJ Cruiser earns its name with a host of parts from Toyota Racing Development, starting with TRD Bilstein race shocks that Toyota says improve damping, articulation and high-speed stability. The front shocks measure 66 millimeters and feature TRD race coil springs, with geometry that improves the approach angle; the 50mm rear units are equipped with remote reservoirs to diminish damping fade.
A new one-quarter-inch thick aluminum TRD front skid plate offers protection for the underbody bits, and the outfit is completed with a BF Goodrich A/T KO tires on 16-inch bead lock wheels, rock rails and a roof rack. Check out the high-res image gallery above and the press release below for all the rest of the details.
