We are selling our 1996 Tacoma. Here is it's story.

We purchased this truck at auction about two years ago. It was owned by a public entity (can't remember which one) in Roanoke, VA. Thus, a southern truck and no rust. It was advertised as needing a clutch. We put in the clutch and put it on the road. The tach works but the speedometer reads 3-4 times faster than you are actually driving, and odometer adds up miles accordingly. So the 195,000 miles may be accurate, or may be inflated by the speedometer issue, we don't know.

I have searched and searched and can't find an instrument cluster to replace the existing one. The truck has a cable from the tranny to the instruments, but nearly all I see advertised for this year are from the 4Runner, which appears to NOT have the attachment for the cable. I asked at my local salvage yard, they looked it up in their book, and said the 95, and 96 were the same for the Tacoma, but finding one is not easy. So I am selling it as is, and you get to do the hunting for the cluster.

Overall the truck is in pretty good shape. Like I said earlier, it's 18 years old. There are dings and dents and scratches you can see in the picts. It will make a great runner with a little fixing. No rust which is a killer, and a Toyota, which is a winner.

Not many frills on it. Manual doors and windows. Split rear window. Bed liner. Standard bumpers which are a little bent here and there. Tires are fair. They don't need to be replaced now, but they are not new. There was no interior carpet, and the seat was trashed, so we went to the local salvage yard and bought the seat and carpet out of a 94. It looks pretty good, but there are some stains. I will get picts of the interior up soon.

A couple of other issues. We don't have a key to lock the doors. The key we were given works on the ignition, but not on the doors. Beware locking yourself out! . . . A guy bumped me last January at the polling place. We fixed the cracked valence and corner light with new ones, but the windshield washer resevore will need to be repaired or replaced.

All in all it is a good truck. I wouldn't mind keeping it, but circumstances find me with 3 trucks and a car right now, and I need to move a few on to new owners. I did some research and the other '96 Tacomas I found went for over $5000. At this point, I have about that in it, but like I said, need to move some extra vehicles. Starting the auction at $3000. No Reserve. Bid like you mean it. Email with questions. Thanks for looking.

2014 Toyota Corolla to bow before LA

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

We've sort of been wondering when Toyota would finally debut the next-generation Corolla sedan, especially since the current car is getting very, very long in the tooth. We got a glimpse of the new compact's design at this year's Detroit Auto Show in the form of the Furia concept seen above, but we figured we'd see the production car by now.
According to Edmunds, Toyota will be unveiling the new Corolla sometime soon, and it won't wait until the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Officials from the Japanese automaker did not state a specific location or date for the new car's unveiling, but said that the 2014 Corolla is expected to be on sale before the LA expo later this year and that it will be revealed "somewhere in the US."
Toyota did not divulge any details about the new Corolla, and we're willing to bet that the aggressive lines of the Furia concept will be dulled down quite a bit for the production model. Still, news that the new car is coming sooner rather than later is indeed a good thing.

Toyota recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, although the exact split between affected models wasn't available.
According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short.
It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing.
