I am selling this Toyota land cruiser for my son. It has just over 187,000 miles on it. It has been in the family for almost ten years and it has never let us down. With that being said it is getting older and does need some work. Serious bidders only!

The Good:

LOTS OF LIFE LEFT!

Motor is strong as well as the tranny

Reliable!

Moon roof

3rd row seating

2.5" Ems stainless header back exhaust

It has 3 Michelin 275/70 r16 with 3-5k on them

Two tone leather interior (see pics)

Kenwood head unit

Wired for sub

No funny smells

 

 

 The Bad:

It has some dents/dings/scratches/rust

Rarely something bangs in the front end only while wheels are cut in reverse and it has done it for years... sometimes it will go months without doing it. It has never caused any problems.

The rear brake line leaks

The bumper is pushed in (see pics)

The lockers sometimes stick (They weren't used much)

Check engine light is on and has been for years

Ice fell off neighbors roof and dinged up (see pics)

It need a stainless exhaust bracket welded and possibly new flex connectors eventually

Missing front passenger wheel flare (Broken clips I still have it and will include it)

Needs one tire (other three have 3-5k on them)

Small oil leak never leaves more than a dime size on the ground (it has for about 4 years and it has never gotten any bigger)

Dirty engine bay

Needs rear hatch handle

Drivers side windows slow when cold

A/c has a leak and needs a belt

Small chip in windshield (see Video)

It has been in a small accident (under 5 mph) that only scratched the paint on the plastic ends of the bumper. This was not what pushed the bumper in. The bumper was pushed in by an ice covered snow bank.

 

As you can see I am being as honest as I can about the issues that it has... With that being said this vehicle has been driven around by my family and I for almost a decade and has never left us stranded. My son is still driving it to school.

Sold as is with no warranty. The buyer is responsible for transporting the vehicle. Paypal Only!

Toyota, Mazda drop Takata as Mitsubishi, Subaru weigh options

Sat, Nov 7 2015

It's not a very good time to be Takata right now. Fresh on the heels of longtime partner Honda ditching them, Toyota and Mazda have both come out and said they will not use the company's airbag inflators if they continue to rely on ammonium nitrate. Bloomberg reports that Subaru and Mitsubishi are also contemplating a divorce. "The inflator using ammonium nitrate produced by Takata will not be adopted by Toyota," President Akio Toyoda said during a briefing today. "What's most important above anything else is the safety and peace of mind of customers." Mazda echoed that position, simply saying it "will not use Takata airbag inflators which contain ammonium nitrate in our new cars." When you lose three huge OEM accounts in as many days, it's certainly going to have a deleterious effect on your fortunes. In Takata's case, that's meant a staggering 39-percent drop in their share price over the last three days. Yesterday alone, the company saw a 6.2-percent fall, Bloomberg reports. As the business publication reports, though, Takata isn't going down without a fight. The company is "considering some plans to survive," including a fundraising plan that will see it potentially offer up additional shares for sale. Still, at least one analyst doesn't see whatever company survives staying involved in the airbag inflator business. "I really don't see how they're going to be able to survive as an inflator manufacturer," Valient Market Research founder Scott Upham told Bloomberg. "When your major clients publicly come out and say that they're not going to use your products anymore, it makes this very difficult to sustain your business."

Toyota Recalling 516,000 Vehicles In Three Recalls

Thu, May 22 2014

Toyota said Thursday it's recalling 516,000 vehicles worldwide - including 430,500 in the U.S. - for three separate safety problems, including brakes that can activate without warning. The company said it has no reports of accidents or injuries due to the defects. In all three cases, the company will alert owners and dealers will repair the issues for free. The largest recall, of 450,000 Sienna minivans from the 2004-2011 model years, targets vehicles sold in cold weather areas. Toyota said road salt can corrode the spare tire carrier under the vehicle and the tire can fall off. Siennas from the 2004-2010 model years were for the same issue in 2010, and a splash protector and anti-rust protection were applied. But the company says the splash protector can fall off and rust can still occur. The recall involves 370,000 minivans sold in the U.S., 80,000 in Canada and 400 in Europe. Also recalled Thursday were: - 16,000 Lexus GS 250 and 350 sedans from the 2013 model year because a manufacturing defect can cause the brakes to activate without warning, and without turning on the brake lights. Most of the vehicles - 10,500 - were sold in the U.S. Also included are left-hand-drive sedans sold in Canada, China and Europe. - 50,000 Highlander and Highlander hybrid SUVs from the 2014 model year. Toyota says a software glitch may prevent the vehicle from properly calculating the size of the front passenger when determining whether to fire the air bags. The affected vehicles assume the passenger is smaller, so the bags may not fire or they may fire at a lower speed than necessary for a larger passenger. Toyota says most of the affected vehicles - 45,287 - were sold in the U.S. Around 3,400 were sold in Canada and the rest were sold in Mexico and Europe.

VW is world's second-best-selling automaker, GM falls to third

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Every year when we start talking about which automaker is the biggest in the world, there always seems to be at least a little bit of controversy. For 2013, Toyota handily took the top spot with 9.98 million sales, but it's the runner up spot between General Motors and Volkswagen that is starting to create a stir.
Based on our earlier report, GM's 9.71 million vehicles put it in second place ahead of VW's 9.5-million-vehicle effort. Now, The Detroit News is reporting that VW is claiming a tally of 9.73 million sales, including figures from MAN and Scania - heavy-duty truck divisions under the VW AG family. The article points out that Toyota's sales figure includes its Hino line of trucks, but these might still be considered light-duty vehicles while MAN and Scania build tractor trailers.
