UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1992 LAND CRUISER WITH ONLY 84,500 MILES.  THIS VEHICLE SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE AS A VACATION HOME VEHICLE WHERE IT RECEIVED ALL OF IT'S REGULAR SERVICE AND WAS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE.  THE NEXT OWNER WAS MY BEST FRIEND WHO ONLY SOLD IT TO ME BECAUSE HE BOUGHT AN OLDER LAND CRUISER THAT HE CONVERTED TO BIO DIESEL.  SO HERE I AM, THE PROUD OWER OF THIS GREAT SUV.  THE ONLY REASON I'M SELLING THIS IS BECAUSE I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE AND MY WIFE AND I NEED THE MONEY TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE.  I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN TOYOTAS AND I USE THE BEST TOYOTA TECH IN THE STATE TO SERVICE MY VEHICLES (MCINTOSH IMPORTS IN MT. PLEASANT, SC).  HE WENT THROUGH MY LAND CRUISER AND SAID IT DOESN'T NEED A THING.  I TRUST THIS GUY SO MUCH THAT I DRIVE 2 HRS TO HIS SHOP WHEN I NEED SOMETHING DONE.  HE'S SO HONEST YOU COULD PLAY POKER WITH HIM ON THE PHONE.

HERE IS WHAT WAS ALREADY DONE TO IT:
-NEW OEM SHOCKS
-COMPLETE FRONT AXLE REBUILD -BY A LAND CRUISER TECH (ALL OLDER LAND CRUISERS NEED THIS DONE)
-NEW FUEL FILLER PIPE -DONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH
-NEW PREMIUM STEREO, SPEAKERS, AND AMPLIFIER ADDED -WORK DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL AUDIO SHOP
-A/C CONVERSION TO R134 -DONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH
-BRAKE SYSTEM REDONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH.

I WOULD LITERALLY DRIVE THIS THING ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT.  IT RUNS/DRIVES EXCELLENT AND HAS NO MECHANICAL ISSUES.  EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND I DON'T THINK YOU WILL EVER FIND A NICER CRUISER WITH THIS LOW MILAGE.

THE INTERIOR IS PRETTY MUCH SPOTLESS.  THERE ARE NO STAINS IN THE UPHOLSTERY AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN SMOKED IN.  THERE IS ONE SMALL SEPARATION OF FARBIC AT A SEEM ON THE DOOR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT.  IT'S AN EASY FIX AND IS ONLY THE SIZE OF A NICKEL.  THE FLOOR CARPET IS SPOTLESS.  YOU CAN EASILY SEE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

THE ONLY THING THIS VEHICLE NEEDS IS A NEW PAINT JOB.  DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT DOESN'T LOOK TERRIBLE, BUT IT'S A 22 YEAR OLD PAINT JOB.  IT'S NOT BAD ENOUGH TO EMBARRASS YOUR KIDS IF YOU DRIVE THEM TO SCHOOL IN IT BUT IT'S THE ONLY THING KEEPING IT FROM BEING AN ABSOLUTE "10".  IF I END UP KEEPING IT I WILL PAINT IT SOMETIME IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS.  THERE ARE NO DENTS OR BODY ISSUES.  THE FRAME IS RUST FREE.

THIS IS THE MODEL WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK BUTTON ON THE DASH (E-LOCKER) THAT IS VERY DESIRABLE ON THESE VEHICLES.

TIRES HAVE APPROX 70% OF THEIR TREAD REMAINING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ME AT 803-944-0776

MILEAGE WILL CHANGE AS I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE APPROX 1 DAY PER WEEK.

I STARTED OF THE BID PRETTY LOW AND THERE IS NO RESERVE!  BID AWAY!

VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN THE COLUMBIA SC AREA.

Toyota restructuring US operations, possibly moving to Texas

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Toyota is poised to announce Monday that it is restructuring its US operations, which may include plans to relocate some of its operations to Texas. Toyota Motor Sales has been located in California since 1957, and is responsible for North American sales, marketing, and distribution for Toyota, Lexus and Scion. According to Toyota literature, its Torrance operations presently employs 6,156 workers and represents a $2.3-billion investment.
Workers in Toyota's Torrance offices were abuzz about the possible relocation to Texas. One young offspring of a Toyota employee even posted to Twitter that her parents warned about the upcoming move, and she said she's refusing to go.
Rumors at one point had Toyota settling in Richardson, TX, just outside Plano. But Autoblog talked to Richardson Mayor Laura Maczka, who said she would be thrilled if that were true, but has not heard anything on the subject. Autoblog also emailed with Bill Sutherland, a city councilman in Torrance, CA, who said, "To date the only info I have is what I have read in the paper expecting a press release Monday."

Toyota Me.We concept is a multifunction Tupperware car [w/video]

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Not to be outdone by the Renault Twin'Z concept penned by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, Toyota has partnered up with French designer Jean-Marie Massaud to create the 2013 Toyota Me.We Concept. Unveiled at Le Rendez-vous Toyota in Paris, the Me.We Concept is an attempt to imagine a car that can be appreciated by owners across a wide variety of lifestyles while being courteous to the environment, too.
From a "Me" perspective, the concept is highly customizable with removable body panels, and even though it might look like just a small hatchback from the outside, Toyota claims it can also be used as a pickup (with an extendable rear panel), a convertible (with a neoprene roof panel) and even an off-road vehicle. As for the "We" part of the car, it's a fully electric vehicle with individual in-wheel motors and a battery pack mounted under the load floor. The concept has a weight of around 1,600 pounds kept low thanks to an aluminum chassis, but it also features renewable bamboo wood for the floor in addition to the fully recyclable polypropylene exterior body panels.

Scion pondering move upmarket?

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Scion is simultaneously celebrating its ten-year anniversary with the 10 Series models and trying to figure out what to do with itself over the next ten years. Once a go-to consideration for young, first-time buyers who wanted something cool and different, in 2013 it has a model everyone is still talking about in the FR-S, a model few are still talking about in the iQ, and three models in between in the tC, xB and xD that make everyone wonder, "What happened?"
Automotive News spoke to Toyota's North American CEO, Jim Lentz - he was the VP in charge of Scion when it launched - about the options, and Lentz said one of them could be a move upmarket to challenge the established luxury brands that are moving downmarket. "There's going to be a big need in the $25,000 range for a fun-to-drive, nice-looking, value-oriented product," he said, and the FR-S, which starts at $25,255, could provide the platform for Scion to climb up a notch or two in price and perception. An idea like this could conceivably work in tandem with a proposal to move entry-level Scion products over to the Toyota brand - but remember, this is all just ideas on a whiteboard at the moment.
As opposed to an "entry-luxury fighter," the brand could swing back to the other option that was considered when it was formed, directly challenging the Korean makes that have usurped its cachet with first-time buyers. Lentz said Scion could go either way, and the tone of the piece seems to indicate that the final direction is still a ways away from being resolved.
