1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 4.5l 4x4 on 2040-cars
Monroe, Washington, United States
|
Pretty much your standard Land Cruiser. Just in better shape than most I feel. Carfax says brakes were done at around 204,000 miles at Meineke. What I've done: New belts, Tires, 17" Toyota wheels, 1.5 inch wheel spacers all around. New wool seat covers. New floor mats. New remotes. New drivers seat belt. The old one was lazy and chaffed from getting stuck in the door. New one snaps back crisply. New shocks come with car but not installed. Always been my second car. Starts right up every time. Engine is smooth and quiet. No leaks or burning of any fluids. No overheating. No funky idling. Accelerates as it should. Shifts as it should. Brakes as it should. No rattling from inside or outside the cabin. No exhaust leaks. Transfer case works as it should. No water in oil or vive versa. Drives straight down the road with the fingertips of one hand. Cruise control works. A/C blows ice cold. Heater blows warm, dry and fresh air. HVAC fan works on all 4 speeds. Windows all go up and down. Antenna goes up and down. All doors unlock with new remotes. New remotes do not have panic button. Paint shines like few others of its age. Sunroof does not leak. Very little wear on steering wheel and shifter leather suggests (to me), its been driven mostly on the freeway. I never towed with this car. No smoke or pet odors. No excessive air released from fuel tank upon cap removal. Looking under the car, there is very little rust. really just the running board brackets have surface rust. A lift kit would be easy to install. No rusty nuts and bolts. We don't salt our roads. Can only find two small door dings after 16 years! None of the 4 rock chips in the windshield are in the drivers line of sight to the road. Just passed emissions and is licensed until 3/15. Easy, fun, and a pleasure to drive. Always titled in Washington state. I bought this from the second owner who lived in Kirkland, WA. His story was that this was the car he used while attending OSU for an engineering degree. He looked the part, and the car had some OSU swag on it. He used this info to articulate how well the car was cared for by an engineering student. First owner is a was The manufacturer, as with all cars. I just traded in my daily driver Prius for a Tacoma 4X4. Don't need this anymore. Personal items not included in sale. Camp gear, Club, cleaning products. $500 deposit within 24 hours of end of auction. Local pickup in Monroe, WA. No warranty. One pictures is an ebay stock photo I could not delete. |

Sports 800 is a progenitor of Toyota performance
Tue, 18 Nov 2014There's an automotive axiom that claims it's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow. If that's the case, then pushing a Toyota Sports 800 around must be one of the most exhilarating experiences behind the wheel in the world. With just 800cc of displacement from a two-cylinder boxer engine, the focus is on finesse over outright speed. Still, it's a fantastic page in Toyota's performance history, and Petrolicious takes a ride with a man who owns a meticulously restored 1967 example in its latest video.
The Sports 800 used the classic cost-saving strategy in the auto industry of taking parts from a standard model in the lineup and modifying it into a sports car. In this case that meant borrowing the engine from the plebian Toyota Publica, beefing it up for more power and clothing the whole thing a in beautifully shaped, wind-tunnel-honed body.
The look of these lithe, targa roadsters is the exact opposite of the rather dull styling sometimes associated with Toyota today. Everywhere you look there are louvers, vents or curves to draw the eye. Check out the latest Petrolicious video for a detailed look at the history of this rare model that's largely unknown on this side of the Pacific.
Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.
Watch Congress sample Toyota's i-Road 3-wheeler concept
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Toyota brought its new i-Road, a three-wheeled, all-electric low-speed vehicle that debuted in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show, to the Capitol for some of our elected officials to test out. As easy as it is to forget that politicians are people, too, it was refreshing to see a human side to many of them as they zipped about one of the Capitol's many meeting rooms.
We'd say their reactions were surprisingly positive. Of course, some were just down there because Toyota is a big presence in their respective districts, but the bulk of the senators and representatives seemed like they just wanted to zip about the makeshift indoor course on the leaning trike.
Take a look below at the video from Bloomberg.
