I am selling my 1989 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4 V6, 5 Speed here on eBay to the highest bidder. Only 94k original documented miles!
I am a collector of vintage Toyota's and have had several Land Cruisers, 4Runners and various trucks over the years. I find very nice vehicles enjoy them and then sell them when I move on to another. I have sold several here on eBay with 100% satisfaction so bid with confidence.
The background on this incredible 4Runner is as follows:
Purchased new in San Luis Obispo, CA in 1989 by a retired couple to use to flat-tow behind their new motor home. Over this time it was flat-towed for over 40k miles and well maintained and always garaged while not being towed. They installed a really high quality tow-bar and period correct aluminum running boards and left the rest of the truck bone stock. The first owners kept a log book of all gas fill ups and services performed but its been misplaced. Not many service records come with the truck but if you know these trucks you'll know it been very well cared for.
The second owner (also from San Luis Obispo County) bought it about 16 years later with 58k miles. Which means it really had only been driven around 15k miles or so as the rest were towed. He drove for the next 10 years and put 35k miles on it. He also cared for it extremely well and either kept in his shop or his very nice carport on his ranch to preserve the truck.
I then purchased and have really enjoyed it, kinda want to keep but just tight on space right now. It's now in Santa Barbara, CA. It's got a clean CarFax with no accident history and proof it's lived in California.
This might be one the best 89's still available. Pretty much 100% stock except for the added tow-bar and running boards. The condition of the truck and the way it drives is simply AMAZING! I really can't put into words how nice it is but I'll try.
It runs, drives, shifts, brakes, etc. like a 50k mile 4Runner. There are no issues of any kind mechanically to mention. The 4x4 shifts super smooth, the brakes are strong and it brakes straight and true. The power from the V6 is superb. I just had it smogged and it passed very strict California emissions barley registering anything. It's always been a California truck and therefore it has no rust issues. The only thing to note is the front skid plate and A-arms have few chips from being flat-towed.
The exterior is easily a 9/10. I don't think I have found any door dings or dents on the entire truck. The 100% original paint is in fantastic shape. The only exception is the rear tailgate on the upper edge has a bit of fade you can see in the detailed photos. The decals have held up very well and barley have any fade. It it wasn't for these two issues you could say it's a 9.5/10. The top has never been removed and is basically perfect with no fading or chipping. There is no evidence of any body work and all VIN stickers are present. The original windshield has a small crack and one chip but it's been that way for 9 years so I left it alone. The BFG all-terrains are the second set of tires and are decent but older so it could use new tires. The Toyota Aluminum Alloys are near perfect with original center caps.
The interior is easily a 9.5/10. There is hardly any evidence of use in the back seat and cargo areas. The front seats are nearly perfect as is all the carpet. Check out the headliner and roll-bar, just like the day it left the factory. The dash has zero cracks and overall interior shows very little wear. Really it's one of the best 80's interior I have ever seen, it looks new. Everything works from the cold AC, the cruise control, factory radio (sounds great), wipers, rear power window, HVAC, lights etc. Again really no issues to mention. The passenger seat flips forward perfectly and the manual windows roll smooth and it has the awesome vent/wing windows. The rear seat headrests are missing and I haven't bothered to find replacements. The center armrest leather is really the only item showing any kind of wear but its minimal.
The spec as I know them:
1989 Toyota 4Runner, V6, 4x4, 5-Speed, SR5 model with chrome package. Charcoal Gray Metallic paint, gray cloth interior 3.0 V6 5-Speed Automatic hubs 4 high and 4 low transfer case Front disc, rear drums Receiver hitch with 4-way flat wiring Toyota Aluminum Alloy 15" wheels Bug/wind deflector AM/FM factory radio with cassette Etc.. That's what I can tell you about this awesome 4Runner. It really is superb and probably one on the nicest ones you'll come across. But it is a 25 year old vehicle so don't expect perfection but it might be as good as it gets.
Glad to answer any questions, please message me through eBay or call me. Patrick 805-4one5-2848. Thanks and happy bidding.

Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.

Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.

Scion is dead, and the FR-S name passes away with it. The rear-wheel-drive sports coupe isn't gone, though, because it's now the the 2017 Toyota 86. To match the new moniker, the latest model finally has a little extra power and more aggressive styling. The public debut will take place at next week's New York Auto Show, and sales begin this fall. "When we announced the transition of the Scion models to Toyota we hadn't planned on changing the names of our cars, but by popular demand, for our sports car, we decided to adopt the global name of 86," said Toyota Division Group Vice President Bill Fay. The 2.0-liter boxer-four's output grows to 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque – increases of 5 hp and 5 lb-ft – on manual-transmission models. The 86 still isn't the turbocharged rear-wheel-drive coupe of some people's dreams, but at least this is an improvement. (Buyers who opt for the automatic will have to make do with less power and fewer pedals.) Toyota also promises "additional performance" thanks to different gear ratios for the six-speed manual transmission, and there's now Hill Start Assist Control. New shock tuning and spring rates will affect the handling, too. The 86 wears a meaner look than the outgoing FR-S. The biggest change is a new front bumper with a large intake that stretches across the coupe's width, and the two sharp points along the bottom look like teeth ready to chomp down. Toyota also replaces the headlights and taillights with LED units. The twist-spoke wheels are a great accompaniment to the more aggressive look, too. The tweaks are more modest inside, including silver stitching and new materials for the dashboard and doors. Toyota will also display the C-HR crossover concept again in the Big Apple. We won't see the production version until later this year, and sales won't begin until spring 2017 as a 2018 model. Related Video: Toyota to 86 the FR-S Name New Toyota 86 and Charismatic C-HR Concept on Display at New York Auto Show TORRANCE, Calif., March 17, 2016 – With its new home comes a new name and more. The former Scion FR-S will debut as the 2017 Toyota 86 at the New York International Auto Show with interior and exterior changes, as well as suspension and powertrain upgrades. The new Toyota 86 will go on sale at all Toyota dealerships this fall.
