1997 - Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
San Clemente, California, United States
1997 Land Cruiser Wagon in white with a tan leather interior. Nicknamed "Watson". The Kelly Blue Book on this car appears to be almost 9,000. It has very low mileage at 113,321 miles!!! It drives beautifully and looks fantastic! Every time I take it to be serviced or detailed auto workers ask if I want to sell it. It has never been in any kind of accident of any sort. We have taken good care of it, getting it serviced regularly at Torrance Toyota and saved all service records. We saved the original window sticker and have the original bill of sale. We have owned it for the past 16 years and bought it from a dealer in Northridge, California when there was only about 14,000 miles on it. When we took it for its last service, Torrance Toyota recommended getting 2,000 worth of work done which I listed above. As much as we love this car-- and we do-- we decided to sell it instead. The main repair needed is the Axle Seal. The dealership service center said both outer axle pivot seals are leaking diff oil and they recommended front axle overhaul. We didn't get a second opinion on this. Here is the information from the window sticker, which I saved: Mechanical and performance: 4.5 DOHC Engine w/24 Valves 4-speed ECT Automatic overdrive transmission Full time four wheel drive Viscous Coupling Center Differential Front and RR Coil Spring Suspension Front and Rear Stabilizer Bars Power Assisted Recirculating Ball Steering 2nd Gear Start Switch 4-Wheel Ventilated Disc Brakes P275/70R16 Radial Tires (5) Towing PKG w/Trans Oil Cooler Safety: Driver/Passenger Airbag (SRS) 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System Side-Door Impact Beams Center High-Mount Stoplight Exterior: Color-Keyed Dual Outside Mirrors and Door Handles Tinted Glass Rear Window Defogger Front and rear Mudguards Fender Flares 16x8JJ Silver Styled Wheels Comfort and Convenience: Leather Seats Full pile-cut carpeting CFS-Free Air conditioning premium ETR Cassette w/9 Speakers and power antenna Height adjustable front shoulder belt anchors FR and RR intermittent Wipers Front and Rear Heaters, Cruise Control with Digital Clock Tilt Steering Power Windows/Doors Locks/Mirrors Auto-Off Headlamps The window sticker said it gets 13 miles to the gallon in the city and 15 on the highway. We paid 42,972.25 for this car on August 5, 1998 and have that contract. The odometer reading at the dealership was 14,177 and they said it was new.

Toyota Recalling 1.67 Million Vehicles Worldwide
Wed, Oct 15 2014UPDATE: Toyota is now announcing specifically which models are covered under its fuel pipe recall in the US. The company is repairing about 423,000 Lexus models that include the 2007-2010 LS, 2006-2011 GS, 2006-2011 IS, 2010 IS C and 2008-2010 IS-F. The automaker says that it isn't aware of any fires, crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem. According to Toyota, the recall is because it's possible for the fuel delivery pipes and the fuel pressure sensor to form a bad seal with the gasket between them because of a protective coating protecting against corrosion on the pipes. It's possible for this to eventually cause a fuel leak, and obviously in a hot engine bay that's a potential fire risk. To fix the problem, dealers will replace the gasket and repair the gasket seating surface between the fuel delivery pipe and the fuel pressure sensor. The company will begin notifying owners soon. You can find the official press release, below. Toyota is issuing three separate recalls covering 1.67 million vehicles worldwide with most of those models in Japan. It looks like the campaigns' impact on the US may be smaller, though. According to Reuters, Toyota isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or fatalities affecting the models. Some yet-unnamed Lexus models might also be affected. The largest of the campaigns does not currently affect any US-market vehicles. About 802,000 units of the Toyota Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy in Japan are being repaired to replace a seal that could leak in the brake master cylinder. Those already leaking get a new brake booster, as well, according to Reuters. The only recall currently believed to affect the US is due to a problem covering approximately 759,000 vehicles with 423,000 of them here. The repair is to fix a faulty fuel delivery pipe that could cause a fire if the fuel leaks out. Unfortunately, we don't know which models it covers. Autoblog spoke to Toyota spokesperson Mona Richard and was told the information was still "under embargo." When exactly that embargo will lift isn't yet known, but we're on the case. Finally, Toyota is recalling 190,000 Corolla Rumion and Auris models in Japan for a faulty evaporative emission control unit. Autoblog is in contact with Toyota, and we'll update this story as soon as we know more about its affect on the US market.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
Toyota produces millionth truck in Texas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013After going online in 2006, Toyota's San Antonio, Texas truck plant has just built its one-millionth vehicle, the 2014 Tundra 1794 Edition you see above. The plant originally focused on just the Tundra pickup, but the smaller Tacoma started rolling off the line there in 2010, as well.
Fittingly, the 1794 Edition (a new premium trim level for 2014) pays homage to the property on which the Toyota plant now resides - a ranch that was founded in 1794. Scroll down for the official press release for the plant's milestone, and be sure to check out the full gallery of Tundra 1794 Edition images as well.
