1991 Excellent Toyota 4 Runner - Colorado - Needs New Alternator Belt - No Res on 2040-cars
Fairplay, Colorado, United States
PLEASE READ ENTIRE AUCTION TEXT BEFORE BIDDING!!!! BE A RESPONSIBLE AND INFORMED BIDDER!!! PAYMENT IS DUE IN FULL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION!!! THIS IS A GREAT NO RESERVE DEAL ON A GREAT TRUCK THAT NEEDS A NEW ALTERNATOR BELT, BUT DON'T BID IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO MAKE THE PURCHASE AND HAVE FUNDS ON HAND!!! THIS IS A 1991 TRUCK AND MOST BANKS WILL ONLY LOAN MONEY ON TRUCKS NEWER THAN 1994.
I bought this truck last year after my Honda Civic got trapped in our neighborhood near Estes Park Colorado when the big 2013 floods washed out all the roads. The only access in to our house was a poor condition jeep trail through the national forest. This truck drove my family up to the house and back several times crawling up some gnarly Jeep trails with no issues at all. It has great tires on it, pretty close to new when I bought the truck ($600 worth of tires). 4WD works like a charm. Mileage is about 17mpg on the highway and 12 to 14 on back roads. Handles snow like a dream. Engine starts every single time without any issues. Since I haven't got the new alternator belt put on you will need to tow the truck home to do the work yourself or hire a mechanic. Truck is located in Fairplay Colorado which is exactly 70 miles from edge of Denver up Highway 285. We have a local mechanic who is great and could replace the belt if you want to hire his shop. I think he charges 80 or 90 bucks an hour but has a full shop and stays busy enough it might take him a week or two to get to it. This truck is excellent for car camping and outdoor gear hauling with room for two plus gear and dog etc to stretch out inside. It performs great even at high altitudes (like 1200 feet for instance). My wife and I and our two kids had to move after the floods and moved to Fairplay Colorado. I drove Colorado Mountain Express vans all winter taking people from DIA airport to the ski areas and I had to drive 50 miles each way to work and back in Silverthorn, CO crossing over Hoosier Pass at 11,500 feet. This truck made the trip reliably every morning and evening through snow and ice until the alternator best gave up. I called AAA and had it towed home where it is still parked because I started driving my Honda Civic again and bought a Ford F350 to have a good contractor pick up truck for the summer construction season. I don't really need to pay insurance on three cars and I need money to get my wife's art gallery business going strong so I am selling this great truck "As Is" hopefully to someone who can handle the job of installing a new alternator belt. There are good videos on UTube of how to tackle that project but I've just been too busy with everything else to get into it. Payment is due in full within 24 hours of the close of the auction with the $500 deposit by Paypal and the rest hopefully in cash. Once it is paid for you can take the truck away right away or leave it where it is for a few weeks, but I would like to see it gone by the end of July. Comes with a clear Colorado Title. Its a great older 4Runner and with some TLC can probably drive for a few hundred thousand more miles. The auction is a no reserve auction that will go to the highest bidder no matter the price. Please do not bid more than you have on hand to spend, and be aware that banks usually will not offer financing on vehicles older than 20 years old. That's a mixed bag, because it means that the blue book value drops off a lot as soon as these trucks get past the 20 year mark even when they are still low mileage and in great condition, so if this truck were a 95 or 97 or whatever it would probably be a 6 or 7 thousand dollar truck. Because it is a 1991 it is only blue book value of 2 or 3 thousand dollars even though this one is in much better condition and basically the same exact truck as 4Runners from the late 1990s. So this is the way to get a super awesome 4X4 at a fraction of the price of a newer model of the same truck but you have to pay for it with cash because you cant get bank loans on trucks this old and that's why the blue book value is so low. Truck has Power Steering, Power windows, Power Locks and on the fly four wheel drive (Don't have to get out and rotate the hubs) With the 4WD and the big tires and high ground clearance and fairly fuel efficient engine these trucks are made to be super awesome 4X4s on rough roads but they don't go super fast up steep mountains on the interstate because all the power is engineered toward torque and climbing power rather than highway speed. Truck has "Premium All Terrain Big Foot Tires" 31X10.5 R015 SLT 5 ply (In other words super crankin awesome 4X4 tires) and mag wheels and SR5 V6 engine with excellent rock crawling power. Only issues I can think of are the dome lights and I think the cigarette lighter socket don't work. I think that is just a fuse that needs to be changed out but I haven't checked to find the burnt out fuse. Also could be a bad light bulb or bad wire or something. Please call me if you have any questions. William (970) 319-4361 BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!! Auction closes Monday evening about 6 pm Colorado time (8pm Eastern or 5 pm Pacific) so get your best bid in early or set the alarm on your smart phone to get in on the last minute bidding. Again, I am only selling this great old 4X4 because I need the money, so please be ready to pay for it within 24 hours. I am available by phone and can fax or email a copy of the title as well to you for your security. Also check out my 100% positive feedback on more than 100 Ebay transactions including high dollar things like boats, motorcycles and cars. I only had a chance to upload a couple of pix right now, but I will upload more photos in the next couple or three days. Check back again to see the rest of the photos!!! PLEASE CALL ME AT (970) 319-4361 TO COME CHECK OUT THE TRUCK IN PERSON PRIOR TO BIDDING IF YOU WANT TO LOOK IT OVER IN PERSON IN FAIRPLAY, COLORADO. |

Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Toyota's surprising announcement on Monday that it will move its North American headquarters from Torrance, CA location to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX is allegedly not due to any political wrangling from the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry.
Perry (above) has been up front in his aggressive pursuit of businesses and jobs for Texas, traveling to California, Missouri, Illinois and New York to tempt corporations to his state. And it's not just about the promise of much lower taxes, a Perry spokesman reminds Automotive News that the state boasts, "a workforce that is skilled and ready to do any job."
For his part, Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American CEO said Plano was chosen through an internal process, with the location helped by its proximity to the company's massive pickup factory in San Antonio rather than any campaigning from the governor.
