I bought this Land Cruiser about 4 years ago with hopes to lift it and make a huge off roader. Reality is, it has mostly sat in the garage I don't see throwing a lot of suspension parts at it when it is so nice stock, so I decided to sell it. It has 147k miles  with stock lockers, and runs perfectly. The only mechanical thing that is wrong with it is the cable inside the antenna is broken( as are most 4 runners and land cruisers) other than that every single button, switch, everything works perfectly. After I purchased it I installed double plat. plugs, high grade plug wires, new distributor cap and rotor, air filter, etc. It has fresh full syn. oil and fram syn. 10k mile gold filter. I have high end parts(Australian comp. ceramic brake pads for front, denso(oe) ignition coil, etc.) that it doesn't need yet that come with it. Every single square inch of this vehicle has been gone through and is mechanically perfect. I even tried to service the e lockers and they were perfect no new gaskets or anything( as you guys know these elocks are precise and dependable but very expensive to repair if not maintained properly). I meticulously maintain all of our vehicles(Toyotas) with top quality o.e. or higher grade parts. The exterior is in good shape with no known dents or dings, some scratches mostly on the hood(most are rubs that will buff out), the only thing I would consider not normal wear and tear on a 16 year old vehicle is the scrapes that have been touched up on the drivers side front quarter panel under the 40th emblem, and the small area centered above the windshield where the paint is bubbled a little, I was told it was a scrape that was touched up without using the correct primer( about $100 or less at body shop with sand, prime, paint). Other than that the paint is very glossy and deep. The interior is beautiful, the drivers seat shows a little wear but no tears or rips, way better shape than most ive seen, the rest of the int. is flawless. The paint code is Antique Sage Pearl 1B2 which was only offered in 97 and only for the 40th ann. This Land Cruiser literally has every single option Toyota offered, including the Toyota 2000 alarm with glass break sensors,e lockers, 40th ann., paint code, climate control, etc. The truck has been professionally cleaned inside and out, and I tried to fix every little thing I could think of before sell.  I truly hate to sell this vehicle especially since it has driven flawlessly since I purchased it. It has nice yokohama geolander tires. I also have the leather bound 40th ann. owners manual, a stock land cruiser maintenance manual, a Toyota 2000 alarm manual, and all other original manuals and literature from initial sale. This truck was a 12 year corporate lease for the first owner( he let his daughter drive it some which resulted in the scrape for mentioned on the quarter panel, it was the only damage on the incident(accident) reported, and I have all receipts for this and everything else from the original owner) the auto check and carfax speak for themselves. The good thing about the corpo. lease is it had to meet all Toyota factory maintenance intervals its whole life as part of the lease agreement. I am the second owner. All serious bidders are welcome to contact me through ebay, and will give my phone number for any and all questions. Serious bidders and inquiries only. This vehicle is sold with no warranty implied, and is being sold as is, so please ask any questions before bidding.

Toyota holds onto crown of World's Largest Automaker

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Although there were hints and allegations that the Volkswagen Group might have taken the global sales crown for 2014, the final tally puts Toyota at the top with 10.23 million sales in 2014. We should really say it keeps Toyota at the top, since that makes three years in a row the Japanese company has been No. 1. Volkswagen Group came in second with 10.14 million units sold, General Motors in third with 9.92 million units sold. This the first time for both Toyota and Volkswagen to pass 10 million sales in a single year. Toyota, including its Hino and Daihatsu divisions, did it with a three-percent increase in company-wide sales on the back of strong demand in Japan and the US. Its strength in developed markets might be the reason it loses the title this year, though; Toyota forecasts a two-percent gain in sales outside of Japan, but a nine-percent drop in its home market because of a new consumption tax that encouraged buyers to purchase before the end of last year. On top of that, turmoil in Southeast Asian economies like Thailand and Indonesia depressed sales in 2014 and they're facing more headwinds. The company envisions 10.15 million sales in 2015. Volkswagen, on the other hand, "has a jet engine strapped to its back called 'China,'" where Toyota is out-of-sorts. Volkswagen Group sales fell 2.9 percent in the US last year, while Toyota gained 6.2 percent here. But Volkswagen roped in 3.7 million sales in China, a 12-percent increase. Toyota enjoyed a huge bump of 12.5 percent in China, but that only got it to 1.03 million units, missing its yearly target and leading to trouble with its Chinese dealers over unsold inventory. With Toyota on the Chinese sidelines while Volkswagen guns for No. 1 status and pledges more production capacity in China – sales there are expected to top 25 million units this year – it looks like this could be the year the VW Group takes over the lead. That would be three years ahead of its original target of 2018. An analyst in Japan said Toyota is more focused on "keeping profitability than chasing numbers" – profitability is an issue for VW right now – so Toyota might not be back at the top "for [the] coming years."

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.

Toyota creates GT86 concept inspired by Initial D

Wed, Jun 29 2016

Everyone has a favorite movie or TV car of their youths. The love of these cars can ignite a lifelong passion for automobiles. Some lust for the sharp, stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future or the decked-out Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. For anime and manga fans, it's the panda-colored Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno from the Initial D manga and anime series. Toyota, recognizing the significance of the that car, meticulously reimagined it for a modern audience, basing it on the UK market GT86. The GT86, sold in the United States as the Scion FR-S and soon to be rebadged as the Toyota 86, is considered by some to be the spiritual successor to the rear-wheel-drive AE86 Corolla from the 1980s. Both are reasonably affordable, lightweight cars with a propensity for oversteer. The original AE86 from Initial D was a highly modified but realistic drift machine. The amazing feats of that tofu delivery car as it raced everything from Mazda RX-7s to a Honda S2000 turned the little Toyota into a cult icon. That AE86 itself was inspired by the personal vehicle of Japanese racing driver Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya served as both an inspiration and supervisor for Initial D. Many of the modifications on the Initial D car, like the TRD carbon-fiber hood and Fujitsubo exhaust, car were exactly the same as Tsuchiya's real-life vehicle. Toyota is no stranger to crafting modern incarnations of classic vehicles. Last year the company created a Back to the Future Tacoma. Toyota's Initial D concept car uses the same parts wherever possible. Like the original, it has a carbon-fiber hood, Fujitsubo exhaust, and black Watanabe F8 wheels. The suspension, lights, and body have all been modified. Even small details like the engine cover and door handles were modified to recall the fictional car. The end result is a fantastic creation that pays great homage to the original. Toyota went as far as hiring UK manga artist Sonia Leong to design a series of backdrops that place the car in the same action shots as the original series. While this one-off vehicle is just a concept, most of the parts are available to purchase for fans who may be inspired to create their own version. Toyota's concept will be on display at various motoring shows across the UK this summer. Related video: Featured Gallery Toyota Initial D GT86 TV/Movies Scion Toyota Coupe toyota gt86 toyota 86
