"Best Used Vehicle on the Market" Yahoo Automotive
The Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series (98-2007) was just named the top rated vehicle used car/truck available by Yahoo Autos. In addition the 100 series Land Cruiser is the number one vehicle for overland expeditions. See links below: Yahoo 10 best used vehicles Top10 used expedition vehicles You can't get a more capable rig. I personally drove this vehicle from Paris, France to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and am 100% confident in its abilities. These rigs are hard to find, especially in this type of condition. This Land Cruiser preformed flawlessly for over 11,000 miles of driving and now it's back in the states ready for a new owner. We've spend over $1,000 and countless hours getting it ready to sell. We're selling it because the charity doesn't have another expedition planed and we really can't justify a Land Cruiser as a "company" car. Background: We purchased the rig last March for $14,000 and put an additional $3,500 into it getting ready for the expedition. We added a 2" Old Man Emu suspension lift and an ARB roof rack. We also went through the engine and drive-train, and other systems with a fine tooth comb to make sure they were in excellent shape. The LC drives very well and is quiet. The video below shows the Cruiser in action: Drive4Sight Mongol Rally: Drive4Sight Video You'll notice the only issues are cosmetic with a few bumps along the back gate -- one of our drivers backed into some shrubs/trees during a sand storm -- but that driver will remain nameless :). There is a 2" tear in the leather in the 2nd row seat when someone had to get to the last cold drink from the fridge and didn't realize the lid was up tight against the leather. Also there is some carpet staining on the rear lift door but other than that the rig is ready for another jaunt around the world. We've left the window decals in place because people really seem to like them. But they can be removed easily if desired. Please call or text with any questions. Also, the tires in the picture are not included. The tires will be 4 90% new Big O AT (16") tires. If you want the 4 Toyo M/T tires as seen int the picture please add 1k to the price. Lastly, I reserve the right to terminate this listing for any reason and at any time. |

Mazda's new Mexican plant capacity rises to 230,000
Sat, 05 Jan 2013After the turmoil of last year, 2013 is getting off to a much better start for Mazda. The company has issued a release indicating that the forthcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico has had its production capacity raised even though it isn't scheduled to go online until March 2014. The original plans called for a 140,000-unit capacity, 90,000 of that allotted for the Mazda2 and Mazda3, the remaining 50,000 for a small car Mazda would build for Toyota that would be based on the Mazda2. The new plans call for raising that by 90,000 units to a total of 230,000 units within two years, by the end of March 2016, and it looks like it will all go toward Mazda production to satisfy growing demand for Skyactiv vehciles. The Mexican plant's opening will be the return of Mazda manufacturing to North America, after Mazda6 production was moved back to Japan last year.
More good news for the company is that it projects 10 billion yen ($114 million) in net income for the financial year that will end in March. That would be a welcome turnaround from the 100-billion-yen loss in the previous financial year, part of a series of three annual losses in a four-year span.
You'll find the press release with the factory update below.
Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Subaru and Toyota PHEV, Nomadic Power grant
Sat, Jun 20 2015The next generation of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid looks to be important for Mazda and Subaru as well. Toyota will likely need to sell more of the new plug-in hybrid to meet stricter ZEV standards in California. That means it will get more extra electric range, as customers have been asking for. Subaru and Mazda will also have to adhere to the California standards beginning in 2018. Those two smaller automakers will likely license a plug-in hybrid powertrain from Toyota in order to fulfill compliance. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla is partnering with Dalhousie University to improve battery technology. Tesla signed a five-year research agreement with Dalhousie's Jeff Dahn, a lithium-ion battery researcher. Dahn and the 25 researchers in his lab will work with Tesla's Director of Battery Technology, Kurt Kelty, to increase capacity through improved materials. The collaboration could be important both for Tesla's automotive and stationary batteries. "Our research group's goal is to increase the energy density and lifetime of Li-ion batteries, so we can drive down costs in automotive and grid energy storage applications," says Dahn. Read more from Dalhousie University. Nomadic Power is receiving a European Commission grant worth ˆ2 million (about $2.26 million) for trailer-mounted mobile batteries. Nomadic Power's mobile batteries, called Nomads, have incorporated photovoltaic systems and can be used to extend the electric driving range of a plug-in vehicle, or to provide backup power to a home. The Nomads use an intelligent energy management system to learn and predict user behavior and manage the solar system based on weather forecasts. "We see a strong future in electric-powered mobility and an increasing use of renewable energy, photovoltaic power in particular," says Nomadic Power CEO Dr. Manfred Baumgaertner. "Our mobile batteries have great potential in these markets that recently got a significant shot in the arm by Tesla's announcements." Read more from Nomadic Power, and at Green Car Congress.

Toyota issues stop sale on 6 key models over seat fabrics; recall possible? [UPDATE]
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Toyota has issued a stop-sale order on six of its core models due to concerns about the flammability of certain seat fabrics. The issue rests not with the cloth and leather covers themselves, but with a piece of seat heater beneath them that fails to meet US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for flame retardancy.
There have been no reports of fires or injuries from the affected cars, which include some of Toyota's biggest volume sellers. 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon and Sienna models equipped with heated seats are included in the stop-sale, as are 2014 Tundra pickups and Corolla sedans. The exact number of vehicles with the non-compliant materials are still being tabulated, according to The Detroit Free Press.
According to a Toyota spokesman, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, although it remains to be seen if a recall will be issued. Outside of a full recall, though, it's unclear how Toyota will deal with vehicles equipped with the flammable materials that have already found homes.
