OK..SAD AS IT IS I HAVE TO LET GO OF A VERY SPECIAL TOYOTA THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 2008 BUT HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME AND MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY THESE DAYS... THE TRUCK IS SPECIAL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS
1) ITS AN 1989 FIRST YEAR OF NEW BODY TYPE WHICH IS IS THE MOST CONVENTED ALONG WITH THE 1983-1988 BODY TYPES
2) ITS A REGULAR CAB PICKUP WITH FACTORY SUNROOF AND POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS, ANTENNA. THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND TO BE HONEST MINE IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE THEM I HAVE EVER SEEN.. USUALLY THESE OPTIONS GO WITH THE EXTENDED CAB
3) TRUCK CAME FROM NEW MEXICO ORIGINALLY BEFORE I OWNED IT IN NEW YORK (PAID $5000) AND HAS NO RUST TO BE CONCERNED WITH,, TRUCK IS ALSO RARE FOR A TOYOTA FROM THESE YEARS SO THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS TO DO WHATEVER TO THE CAR WITH KNOWING YOU HAVE A GOOD SHELL TO GO ALONG WITH IT
4) HAS CHROME SIDE RAILS IN GOOD SHAPE THAT JUST NEED GOOD CLEANING AND ALSO A FRONT WINDOW SUN VISOR SPOILER WITH LIGHTS WHICH GIVES THE TRUCK A HEAD TURNING APPEAL AT NIGHT.. CHROME SIDE VIEW WINDOWS, ALSO HAS HAD A RAVEN CAP SINCE 1989 SO BED IS VERY CLEAN... AND WHILE THEY ARE OFF CAR HAS WIRING TO BUMPER FOR FOG LIGHTS ALREADY.. THE FOG LIGHTS WHILE LENSES CRACKED WILL COME WITH THE TRUCK
5) THE PERSON i HAD BOUGHT IT FROM DID SOME THINGS LIKE CHANGE THE TIMING BELT WATER PUMP ETC SO IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE 6 CYLINDER THAT IT CAME WITH YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT THESE 2 THINGS DONT NEED DONE AGAIN ANYTIME SOON. i ALSO REPLACED THE CLUTCH AT ABOUT 155,000 MILES
THAT SAID..IT NEED A GOOD HOME BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS SINCE I HAD IT I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO UPKEEP IT THE WAY I WOULD HAVE LIKED AND LIVING IN NEW YORK CAN BE HARD ON A NEW AUTOMOBILE YET ONE THAT IS A CLASSIC ANTIQUE AT THIS POINT.. IM SELLING IT AS HAVENT DRIVEN IT MUCH IN LAST YEAR AND SINCE I DONT HAVE TIEM OR MONEY TO TREAT IT RIGHT FEEL ITS BETTER TO LET SOMEBODY ELSE HAVE IT AS THIS TRUCK DESERVES TO BE ON THE ROAD FOR A LONG TIME IS A GOOD CANDITATE FOR SO MANY THINGS.. WHILE TRUCK HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN AND STARTS RIGHT UP MY DREAM WAS ALWAYS HOPING TO PUT A DIESEL ENGINE IN IT ONE DAY
HERES WHAT I KNOW ABOUT WHAT THE TRUCK NEEDS OR BLEMISHES IT HAS
1) WHILE THERE IS NO RUST INCLUDING THE FRAME TO BE WORRIED ABOUT IN THE LEAST THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SCRATCHED AND BANGED UP HERE AND THERE FROM BEING PARKED ON NEW YORK STREETS.. SEE PICTURES BUT THESE INCLUDE A BENT REAR BUMPER, DENT IN LOWER REAR QUARTER, DENT ON PASSENGER DRIVERS DOOR AND A NICE NICK OF A DENT DIRECTLY ON TIP OF PASSENGER FENDER. REAR DRIVER QUARTER AND BENT REAR BUMPER ON DRIVERS SIDE WAS FROM WHEN I LOANED MY CAR TO A FRIEND AND HE HAD SOME KIND OF FENDER BENDER AND GOT CLIPPED IN REAR BY A POLICE CAR THERE...DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT BUT DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL AS YOU CAN SEE
2) PAINT IS GOOD BUT TRUCKS NEED A GOOD RUB DOWN CLEANING AND WAX. REAR BED MAY HAVE BEEN REPAINTED BEFORE I WONED IT AS SOMETIMES I NOTICE THE WHITE LOOKS A LItTLE DIFFEReNT FROM CAB.. THIS MAY ALSO JUST BE A DIRT THING
3) POWER WINDOWS OR SOMETHING ON THE SAME LINE HAS A SHORT SOMEWHERE AND KEEPS BLOWING THE FUSE... I BASICALL KEEP EXTRAS IN TEH TRUCK AND REPLACE THEM WHEN THEY BLOW BUT IT HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK AND I SIMPLY HAVE HAD NO TIME TO DEAL WITH IT PROPERLY AND SOURCE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE PANEL ON THE DRIVER WINDOW IS OFF THE CAR RIGHT NOW AS I REPLACED THE SWITCH AT ONE TIME..NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHERE THE ISSUE IS
POWER ANTENNA IS BROKEN OFF AND NEEDS REPLACED.. ANOTHER CASUALTY OF NYC
4) TRUCK WAS BROKEN INTO THRU THE BACK SO BOTH CAP WINDOW IS MISSING AND THE CAB WINDOW ITSELF NEED TO BE REPLACED
5) SOME DEBRIS OF SOME KIND CRACKED THE SUNROOF DURING HURRICANE SANDY... IT DOES NOT LEAK BUT NEEDS REPLACED AT SOME POINT
6) HAS EXHAUST LEAK.. REAR PIPE IS MISSING (SEE PICTURE) AND MAY BE LEAKING SLIGHTLY AROUND CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECAUSE I SOMETIMES SMELL FUMES IN THE CAB
7) REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS NEEDS REPLACED SOON AS IT STARTED LEAKING BRAKE FLUID RECENTLY. I BASICALLY JUST CHECK IT FROM TIME TO TIME AND REPLENISH THE FLUID.. HAVE HAD NO MONEY TO FIX IT UNFORTUNATELY WHICH IS WHAT I PREFERRED TO DO BEFORE SELLING IT
8) COULD USE AN OIL CHANGE AS SEEMS THERE IS A SLIGHT LEAK AT OIL FILTER AND ALTHO THE TRUCK RUNS GREAT ID SAY A TUNE UP IS A GOOD IDEA
9) BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE TRUCK AND BEING DRIVEN AROUND BUMPY NEW YORK LIKELY NEED NEW SHOCKS AND WHEN CHECKING FOR WHERE THE BRAKE LEAK NOTICED SOME PLAY IN THE IDLER ARM THAT MIGHT MEAN IT NEED REPLACED AS WELL IF I HAD TIME AND MONEY I WOULD HAVE RAISED TRUCK AND OVERALLLED ALOT OF SUSPENSION TO IMPROVE OFF ROAD HANDLING ETC
10) NO LOCK ON GASOLINE DOOR CURRENTLY. AND KEY ONLY STARTS TRUCK DOES NOT OPEN DOOR.. THE REASON FOR THIS IS I HAD LOANED THE TRUCK ONE DAY TO A FRIEND WHO SOMEHOW BROKE THE ORIGINAL KEY OFF IN THE IGNITION. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BROKEN PIECE OUT OF THE IGNITION AND HAVE A NEW KEY MADE... THE NEW KEY COULDNT ALSO OPEN THE DOORS FOR SOME REASON..PROBABLY THE NEW KEYS NEEDS A LITTLE MORE FILING TO DO OR SIMPLY ONE CAN REMOVE ON OF THE DOOR LOCKS AND HAVE A SEPERATE KEY MADE FOR IT..
11) HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONER.. NEVER USED IT SINCE I OWNED IT AS IM NOT A FAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT.. DEFINTELY DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR i CAN TELL YOU THAT
ALL IN ALL WHILE THE TRUCK DRIVES AND I HAVE USED IT FROM TIME TO TIME i AM NOT GOING TO ACT LIKE YOU CAN JUST WIN THIS AUCTION AND EXPECT TO DRIVE IT ANY DISTANCE.. i WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND THIS AND UNLESS YOU ARE SOMEWHAT LOCAL TRUCK SHOULD BE TOWED OR IF THE BIDDING REACHES $4000 I WILL PAY FOR GETTING THE WHEEL CYLINDERS AND OIL CHANGE BEFORE IT IS PICKED UP
QUITE A LIST PERHAPS AND AGAIN THE TRUCK IS BEING SOLD AS IS..BUT I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO EXPLAIN WHAT I KNOW BUT AFTER ALL THIS IS A TRUCK THAT IS NOW 35 YEARS OLD SO DONT THINK YOU ARE BUYING SOMETHING THAT WILL NOT NEED NURTURED...
HOWEVER I CANT TELL YOU HOW NOT ONLY HOW ITS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO KILL A TOYOTA ( SEE YOU TUBE HOW TO KILL A TOYOTA) BUT ALSO ALSO HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE REMARKED ABOUT HOW NICE MY TRUCK WAS OVER THE YEARS TO THE POINT OF ASKEING IF IT WAS FOR SALE. REGARDLESS OF THAT AND THE WORK IT NEED NOW I HONESTLY DO BELIEVE THIS IS A PERFECT TRUCK FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A NON RUST BODY WITH SOME RARE FACTORY BELL AND WHISTLES... THIS FACT MAKES THE CAR WORTHWHILE AS IT COULD LAST ANOTHER 30 YEARS IF SOMEONE PUTS THE TIME INTO ADDRESSING ITS UPKEEP NEEDS. THIS CAR IS FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A VINTAGE TOYOTA PICK UP AND DONT WANT TO BE CONCEREND WITH TEH FLOOR FALLING OUT OR THE BODY RUSTING AWAY. YOU BE THE JUDGE BUT I WOULD LOVE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING TO DO A NUMBER ON THIS TRUCK AND MAKE IT INTO EVERYTHING AND MORE THAT I EVER DREAMED OF
UP TO YOU AND THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY BABY..WHILE ITS IS MY THIRD TOYOTA PICK UP OVER THE YEARS I WILL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO
PLEASE NOTE AS I AM GOING TO MY NEPHEWS WEDDING IN CALIFORNIA AT BEGINNING OF MONTH THIS TRUCK MUST BE PAID FOR AND PICKED UP PRETTY MUCH WITHIN A WEEK OF AUCTION ENDING
ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK..GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDS

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.

Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.

In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
