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 buys Daihatsu for small-car development

Sun, Jan 31 2016

Toyota is getting serious about small cars, but it's not going at it alone. Instead it's turning to its subsidiary Daihatsu, with which it will now share more resources and expertise. And in the process, it's acquiring the remaining stake in the smaller automaker. Daihatsu is a Japanese carmaker founded in its present form in 1951, but with roots that trace back as far as 1907. Toyota acquired a controlling interest of 51 percent in Daihatsu in 1988, bringing the company under its umbrella. But now it is raising its stake to 100 percent by a reciprocal share-swap agreement that will see Daihatsu's other shareholders take 0.27 shares in the larger company for each share in the smaller. As part of the new arrangement, the Daihatsu division will take the lead in developing new small cars, both for itself and for its parent company. Toyota in turn will also share key technologies with Daihatsu, and both will share each other's networks in emerging markets. The bottom line is that we can expect to see more small Toyotas and Scions developed and built by Daihatsu in the near future. The Daihatsu name may not be as familiar to Americans as some of Toyota's other brands. It briefly sold models like the Charade and Rocky in the United States under its own name in the late 1980s and early 90s. However US customers may be more familiar with those it built for the Scion brand, such as the Scion xB that was based on the Daihatsu Materia. While the realistic part of our brains force us to admit it's unlikely, the dreamer within us will hold out hope that the new arrangement could see a Scion version of the nimble little Daihatsu Kopen roadster make its way to our shores in the coming years. Toyota and Daihatsu to Strengthen Small Car Operations through Unified Global Strategy Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and its subsidiary Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (Daihatsu) have reached an agreement whereby Daihatsu will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota by way of a share exchange (expected to be completed in August 2016). The purpose of the agreement is to develop of ever-better cars by adopting a unified strategy for the small car segment, under which both companies will be free to focus on their core competencies. Ultimately, this will help Daihatsu and Toyota to attain their joint goal of achieving sustainable growth. Additionally, the aim of the share exchange is to enhance the value of both brands.

Legal approach in $1.2 billion Toyota settlement could impact handling of GM recall cases

Wed, 26 Mar 2014

In the past, if an automaker did something wrong, they were usually prosecuted by the US government through something called the TREAD Act. Short for Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, it basically requires automakers to report recalls in other countries, along with any and all serious injuries or deaths, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Failing to report or attempting to conceal anything when there's been a death or serious injury constitutes a criminal liability. The idea is that this setup puts the onus on manufacturers to keep NHTSA apprised of safety related issues before they become a problem in the US, thereby allowing the regulator to better protect consumers.
In theory, it sounds like a relatively airtight set of rules for dealing with misbehaving automakers. That didn't stop the US Department of Justice from ignoring TREAD in its prosecution of Toyota's handling of the unintended acceleration recall, though. The result of this new approach, which charged Toyota with wire fraud, was a $1.2 billion settlement. Now, the wire-fraud approach could be used for the expected case between the US government and General Motors, based on the statements of Attorney General Eric Holder, who specifically mentioned "similarly situated companies" when discussing Toyota.

2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

"Oh yeah, Toyota still makes the Tacoma." Admit it, that's what you just said to yourself. It's a perfectly natural reaction, but the Tacoma has been quietly anchoring its segment for years, outselling every other compact pickup without making too much of a fuss. Toyota hasn't neglected the Tacoma - it was updated in 2012 with a revised nose and interior as the most noteable changes.
In a world awash with high-value fullsize pickups all vying for your attention, the Tacoma still charms more than a few buyers out of their cash. I hooked a Tacoma for a week to see whether it still has enough to recommend it.
