1987 Toyota Tercel Sr5 Wagon 4-door 1.5l on 2040-cars
Lake Stevens, Washington, United States
Here it is..... one of the most sought after cars ever built!! Toyotas rare 4x4 wagon with a six speed manual and a BRAND NEW REBUILT ENGINE ***** WITH WARRANTY***** The Engine was professionally installed by A-One Japanese Auto of Auburn Wa. This engine has 11 months left on a one year warranty. So, even if it drips one tiny bit of oil, if your not happy you can take it in and they will fix it!!!! This car is a rare rare rare find in this condition. The interior is so nice for a car this old its actually kinda weird ( sorry I never vacuumed when I took pic's but its clean now :) the headliner is amazing with no tears which is just strange for rigs this old and being a wagon. There are no cracks in dash or other interior parts....drivers bottom shows some wear but no holes. Way awesome the windshield is perfect!!! stock antenna intact, original hub cabs and wheels, original floor mats, and even the stock original tire iron and bag! I swear this rig was left in a barn for years or something to have this type of stuff still be so nice. The car only has 181,000 miles on it.....and get this ***** NO RUST****** that screams good deal alone... finding a tercel with no rust saves thousand$$$ in time and money. Usually these rigs are rusted through. The 4x4 works great and drives like brand new! I also installed a brand new Weber DGEV 32/36 carburetor to give it a little more kick..... new carb call s for more stuff so I also purchased the top of the line rotary Carter fuel pump and Weber fuel regulator to be installed that go with the new upgraded Weber carb ( you get to install this ....one hour and your done) . 90% on the tires, brakes have full life and work great. Car drives awesome and shifts great for a old rig. This rare car even comes with the original manual!! body is straight except for a small dent in rear back driver side door that can be easily pulled pushed out by removing panel.....plus it comes with the side SR5 molding to replace the one that got the sr5 smudged off. All the hard labor intensive stuff and mind boggling detective work finding parts has been done on for this rig. Priced to sell!!!! the rebuild alone cost me $2500!!!!and this was no friends Uncle Rico that a mechanic in his garage...this was a professional outfit that specializes in rebuilds that did the work. The paint could use a real good waxing and just a few little dings here and there that is to be expected. Glass, is perfect all around. the Interior is 8 or 9 /10!!! under carriage is 10/10 body 8/10.... The "To Do's" has one little broken amber turn light that you can buy on ebay for $5.00 and that's it...... a little elbow grease on the driver window regulator...... a new thermostat ( $7.00 and one screw)..... needs a radio, and maybe some love to the muffler. I recommend getting a RamFlo air filter and getting rid of the PCV valve ( I also added the valve breathers to do this) Other than ONE day of tinkering its perfect!!! I can deliver to Seattle if you need or want it shipped. Please message me if you have any questions. I want you to buy with confidence.
Oh...Subaru's suck!! :) |

Toyota says president, chairman of scandal-hit Daihatsu unit to step down
Tue, Feb 13 2024TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp said on Tuesday both the president and chairman of Daihatsu Motor will step down almost a year after the small-car unit said it had rigged collision safety-tests. The departures are among the most drastic changes Daihatsu has made so far, as Toyota seeks to return the brand to its roots as one of Japan's most iconic compact car makers. Toyota faces a potential hit to its reputation from the safety certification lapses at Daihatsu, as well as separate governance issues at truck maker Hino Motors and affiliate Toyota Industries. The scandals at the three companies triggered a rare apology of Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda last month. In a statement, the world's top-selling automaker said its chief executive officer for the Latin America and Caribbean region, Masahiro Inoue, will replace Soichiro Okudaira as Daihatsu's president effective March 1. Daihatsu's chairman, Sunao Matsubayashi, will also step down and will not be replaced, Toyota added. The outgoing Okudaira had worked at Toyota for nearly four decades before becoming president of Daihatsu in 2017, a year after it became a wholly owned Toyota subsidiary. Toyota Chief Executive Koji Sato told reporters, however, that the organizational change at Daihatsu was not carried out as a punishment for the outgoing executives. In volume terms, Daihatsu accounted for 7% of Toyota's total group sales of 11.2 million vehicles in 2023, including those of the luxury Lexus brand and Hino Motors. Given the misconduct over the safety test certification applications, Daihatsu also will be removed from a commercial vehicle partnership known as the Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies (CJPT), the automaker said in a separate statement. The partnership was established in April 2021 by Toyota, Hino and Isuzu Motors to facilitate technology development for commercial vehicles. Suzuki Motor and Daihatsu joined in July the same year. Daihatsu's 10% equity stake in the partnership will be transferred to Toyota, the statement said.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Toyota investing $30 million in Indiana for more Highlander production
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Indiana seems like the place to be if you're looking for work in a car factory. In May, Subaru announced plans to invest $400 million in its Lafayette, Indiana plant, creating 900 new jobs in the process and increasing capacity to 300,000 units per year. Now, Toyota has announced plans to invest $30 million in its Princeton, Indiana plant, 170 miles south of the Subaru factory, which also builds the Camry.
Toyota's investment will create an additional 200 jobs and increase the factory's volume by 15,000 units. Toyota announced an investment in the plant in February of 2012 that bumped volume up from 300,000 to 350,000 units. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, as the Princeton facility is officially known, produces the recently revised Toyota Highlander, the Sequoia and the Sienna. It employs 4,500 people, and this announcement represents Toyota's tenth production increase in under two years.
