My wife call this "we have too many toys - sale!" On my bucket list has always been a 2 door Rav 4, which I see when we travel to St Barts and thought if I could find an original low mile one, maybe we could tow it behind our motorhome! I collect small cars and found this one recently in Reno Nevada.

We went there and drove it home, and checked it off my bucket list! It runs and drives as it should, but my days of driving a manual trans car for very long are over with bad knees and bad shoulders!

It would be perfect for towing behind an RV.

It it has a manual trans, 4 wheel drive, has Air Conditioning, Power Steering and brakes. Factory radio.

This car has 65891 miles, which I believe to be correct and car fax also documents thru its history. No interior wear or pedal pad wear at all. Paint is all original and in average condition with the exception of the rear swing out door has been replaced with a used one a long time ago and the rear sill showing signs of repair. Car fax does not show any damage as the owner probably took care of it himself. Original decals on the sides of the Rav are in good shape as well. No rust and the undercarriage is very clean due to it living in the Reno area most of its life until I brought it to Arizona. The paint on the roof is getting a little thin in a few spots where yo can see a shadow from the factory black primer showing thru. I put new tires on it before driving it home and had the oil changed as it was due according to the sticker on the windshield.

There are no service records at all on the Rav but it looks like it was taken care of really well. It was the cleanest low mile one I could find and was looking for a very long time.

Inspections are welcome and encouraged.

Thanks, Glenn

PS, I added a photo from CarFax page showing more detail on the miles than AutoCheck shows for some reason.

Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand

Tue, 21 May 2013

An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.

Sports 800 is a progenitor of Toyota performance

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

There'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.
