Selling a rare low mileage well maintained 1997 40^th Anniversary Land Cruiser. This is also a low number production (528). I have owned many of these trucks and looked 4 plus years to find this one. I found the truck in El Paso TX and bought it from the original owner. The dealership in El Paso sold the car and serviced. All of the manuals, remote keys, maintenance records and window sticker come with this truck. The truck was totally repainted to factory specs in 2011. Desert sun had taken its due on the paint. This truck has zero rust. Truck has never been wrecked with clean car fax but it also has all of the factory panel badges present. I purchased this truck 2 years ago and had the selling dealership bring everything back to specs. The engine was compression check before delivery and it was perfect. This truck runs perfectly. Windows, sun roof, mirrors, seats all work fine. Local dealership in Myrtle Beach SC has done maintenance since 2012. Why am I selling it…. Just need a truck. This Land Cruiser looks outstanding inside and outside and run great.

Replaced in the summer of 2012.

Upholstery replaced on front and back seats with Leather Touch – I did not add the chockalott brown, as I simply do like the combination. All done in light tan… Rear jump seats were fine and are in storage.

4 new Michelin tires

Brake rotors and pads

All fluids was replaced

Cooling system was flushed; all rubber hoses in the entire water system were replaced

New plugs, rotor and distributer cap

Valve cover gasket replaced

Head lights – low and high replaced with Silver Star bulbs and interior lights now are LEDs,

2014

Rotor smoothed and pads replaced

Air Filter replaced

The passenger tail light lens is broken with small dent as I backed into a pole. Radio antenna motor needs to be replaced, back door passenger side power lock actuator needs to be replaced and if you want it perfect the cats should be replaced if you want the “check Engine” light off. Dealership checked and all was fine-no effect on performance.

Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?

Tue, Nov 8 2016

It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.
Driving Notes:

Toyota Camry incentives and fleet sales cranked to keep sales crown, insiders worried

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

We've been watching for some time now as Toyota has piled more incentives on the hood of its Camry sedan, and Automotive News reports that the we're not the only ones with raised eyebrows. The current Camry hasn't even been on the market for two years, but the family sedan segment is more hotly contested than it has been in years. It's that high level of competition that has led the automaker to uncharacteristically add more money on the hood in order to assure it maintains its long-held title of America's Best-Selling Car, a mantle it has owned for a dozen years. It's ramping up fleet sales, too.
According to the analysts at TrueCar, Toyota has bumped incentives per unit every month this year, now totaling some $2,750 as of May, a 38-percent hike over this time last year. That's more spiff money than the segment's other best sellers, the Nissan Altima ($2,400), Ford Fusion ($2,300) and Honda Accord ($1,400), all of whom have actually decreased their incentive spend by 20- to 40-percent over the same period.
The ramp up in incentive spending and fleet sales has analysts concerned that Toyota will tarnish the Camry's historically sterling resale value. ALG pegs the 2013 Camry's current 36-month residual value at 54.4 percent, well ahead of the segment average's 50.9 percent (but shy of the Accord's 55.6 percent). However, analysts are concerned that as the current generation ages, their resale values will eventually plummet if incentives continue to increase as Toyota looks to keep the Camry's best-selling car crown going forward.
