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.

Local production could improve Toyota Prius' fortunes in China

Wed, Apr 23 2014

The Toyota Prius is the world's most popular hybrid vehicle, but it may take domestic production capabilities for the model to achieve a high level of popularity in China. Japan-based Toyota is aiming to produce an increasing percentage of Prius components in China in order to bring down its price there, Bloomberg News reports. Eventually, the goal is to make all Priuses sold in China in that country in order to avoid the steep 25-percent import tariff. As it is, Toyota sold just 1,400 Prius vehicles in China last year, compared to about 234,000 in the US and 315,000 worldwide. Hindering sales is the fact that the Prius costs about as much as an entry-level Audi in China, where Volkswagen is the country's best-selling automaker. Toyota has been selling the Prius in China for almost a decade but may soon find local sources for the batteries and other hybrid parts for the Prius and Camry Hybrid, Bloomberg says, citing comment from Hiroji Onishi, Toyota's China chief, at the Beijing Auto Show. Part of the problem is that the Chinese government provides less than $500 worth of subsidies for each hybrid sold, compared to about $9,600 for an electric vehicle. While that subsidy may rise as China municipalities take on the country's growing pollution problems, there's lingering concern over spurring sales of a car that's made by competing Japan. Toyota starting making some of its Prius vehicles in China in 2005 but halted production on the second-generation version of the hybrid four years later.

Toyota recounts past Supra glories

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

It could just be a slow start to the news week around the Toyota offices, but its UK blog has posted a brief history on its legendary Supra sports car. Read into however you'd like, but there has been plenty of speculation as to the return of the Supra nameplate in recent years (including last month from incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada).
Built from April 1978 through July 2002, Toyota's sports coupe made quite a name for itself as both the Celica Supra (shown above) and the Supra, and the blog post charts many of the changes and highlights through the years. Head on over to the Toyota UK blog to read more about this Supra's history, and then be sure to check out the gallery of images from Toyota spanning all four generations.

Sporty cars from the '80s get retro reviews from MotorWeek

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The more things change, the more they stay the same. That's the feeling we're left with after watching the retro-review video above, in which MotorWeek – television's original automotive magazine, as if you didn't already know – takes a look at the 1984 Honda Prelude. A sporty coupe from Japan that lacks the outright performance and thrust of comparable American and European competitors, but makes any perceived slight up with unarguably supreme driving dynamics? That sounds sort of familiar, doesn't it? As always, we love taking a look back at the early days of MotorWeek (the more things change, they more they stay the same, remember?). And it doesn't end there. Far from it, in fact. Not only did MotorWeek bestow upon us the Prelude, Maryland's favorite public television show also unleashed retro reviews of (deep breath) the '82 Fiat X1/9, '84 Olds Cutlass, '88 Lotus Esprit Turbo, '84 Nissan 200SX Turbo, '88 Subaru XT6, '88 Toyota Celica All Trac, '84 Ford EXP Turbo, '89 Suzuki Swift GTi and '89 Mazda 323 GTX.
