1993 Toyota Land Cruiser - Right Year, Right Color, Right Condition with DIFF LOCKS. After a long exhaustive search we found this cruiser in LA in January - finally one that hadn't been beat up and was regularly maintained over its life. After getting home, I proceeded to go through it and fix all of the little things, then off to the mechanic to do everything that could be done to make this cruiser ready for the next 100K miles. Then after having it for 6 months, a low mile 100 Series has come along and the wife likes the ride of the 100 more than the 80 series so here is a cruiser that is in the right shape and has been brought up to date with everything mechanically one could want done for sale and looking for a new home. The cruiser came with nearly new tires and front brakes when I got it 3K miles ago. Then, I had the following done: Full A/C conversion and extra parts, full tune up, plug wires, cap, etc., new shocks all around, changed all fluids, fixed leaking valve cover gasket - THIS CRUISER DOES NOT LEAK A DROP, replaced various rubber compopnents, new throttle cable, cleaned up shifter linkage, re-wrapped wiring harness with heat wrap, new hood struts, battery terminal upgrade, new driver's seatbelt, cleaned up the wonky window tracking....seriously, just about everything that could possibly be done - this thing is set up for a long time to come. I even put an expensive set of Coco mats in her thinking we would have it a ong long time...Everything works as intended with the exception of the stock radio CD player - one is stuck in it, and the D light in the dash doesn't light up (do they ever?). It drives tight without any noises and is a pleasure to drive. Cosmetically - I am a car guy so am probably way more picky than most people would be, but one of the things that impressed me about this rig was that the body and stock paint is straight as an arrow - really no door dings to speak of so reads very nicely. The bumpers have corner scratching like they all seem to get and there is a scratch on the upper rear hatch like someone backed into a branch or something. There is no rust with the exception of a little bubbling at the bottom of the rear hatch window like you usually see - no rust anywhere else. The interior is leather - the front seats have been covered with new Specter OffRoad covers as the leather is pretty bad - the seat is firm and the foam is not coming apart, but is someone wants all leather - the front seats should be redone and the rear seat re-dyed - it is supple and soft, but the LA heat has definitely left its mark as well as in a few cracks on the dash. This is a really nice LC that will not disappoint - it is being listed locally as well as it is getting sold - am not going to keep it long so don't hesitate if you are interested. I am not interested in any trades so please don't ask and please only serious buyers inquire. There may be other cruisers out there for a little less, but you can look a long time before finding one that is a good candidate to start with in the first place, and the combination of condition and all of the mechanics gone through on this rig are tough to replicate. No slick photos or over detailing on this one - just a good honest LC looking for a good home...Thanks for your interest and please submit any questions you might have and I will get right back to you.

Toyota RAV4 EV lease gets cut in half to $299/month

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, now is definitely the time to buy or lease. Following price drops on just about every other EV on the market, Toyota is looking to push a few more all-electric RAV4 crossovers out the door over the Labor Day weekend. The Detroit News is reporting that, through September 3, anyone looking to get into a RAV4 EV in Los Angeles or San Francisco, can get a deal: a $299 a month lease (no word on down payment, though) or zero-percent financing for 60 months for buyers.
The $49,800 RAV4 EV normally leases for twice as much - $599 a month - so this move could be an attempt to sell more of the 2,600 units Toyota has planned to produce. Or maybe, if you thought $599 was a fair price, you can now get two RAV4 Evs. Although temporary, the price drop comes at a time when many other EVs on the market have had their prices reduced, including the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Smart Fortwo ED and Honda Fit EV, not to mention already low prices for the Fiat 500e and Chevy Spark EV.

Raising A White Flag To The Competition
We all benefit from highly competitive battles. In the automotive sector, few campaigns are so closely fought as the decades-long struggle for supremacy in the fullsize half-ton pickup truck segment. The Ford F-150 has dominated for ages, but Chevrolet, Ram and GMC have been closing the gap with freshly redesigned trucks that are rocking the industry.
Today's half-ton trucks are better than they've ever been, and we have fierce competition to thank for that.

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. Scroll down to see more in an official video and to check out Toyota's official press release.
