This 4Runner is all original, including paint, interior, and chasis. I am the second owner and it has always been a California registered vehicle, so any rust issues are minimal and light. No rust on body anywhere. It has been garaged almost since new and the original paint has been professionally guaged, rated almost like new. Tires are new. I had an upgraded alarm system installed when I bought the vehicle and also had the center padded console cover professionally recovered in leather; just like new. I also had the front headliner replaced because a seam was split. In other words, I wanted this 4runner to be as good as possible in appearance. It's a true 4x4, first generation 4Runner and I think it's one of the best original 4Runners out there. I checked the 4x4 wheel locks and they work fine and the 4x4 feature works very well. The 6 cylinder engine starts up quick, runs well, and doesn't miss. It passed California smog with flying colors just a couple of months ago. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly with no jerks or slips. It looks to me like the removeable fiberglass top has never been removed, but I can't guarantee that. Heater and AC work fine. The radio is the original one and works, but the volume knob creates static until you find the right volume. I didn't check the cassette player. The previous owner added a nice set of fog lights, a custom chrome brush bumper, and cruise control.  I installed a new battery just last month, and it has a three year guarantee on it. All windows roll up and down smoothly and completely. The rear power window operates perfectly and the drop down tailgate opens and closes just like new. The shocks were replaced at one time, but I have to say that this truck-like frame is rough on the bumps. It might need new shocks or perhaps other work to smooth out the ride. On the road, it drives smooth, straight, and well controlled. Only the bumps are noticable to me. As a side note, I had this exact model 4Runner a few years ago and took it up to 240,000 miles before replacing the engine and selling the vehicle in order to buy a new pickup truck. If this 4runner does the same, it represents a great value for someone. Please note, some of the decals have parking dings and fading. There is one small ding on the left fender well, and these points are in some of the photos posted here on Ebay. This vehicle has never been wrecked and I have some maintenance records that go with it. Also, I have the original owner's manual and two sets of keys with alarm fobs on them.  Please email me with any questions and I'll be glad to get the answers to you if I can. I will cooperate with your shipper of choice. Vehicle is sold as is, where is, with no guarantee. Just a few months ago, it was safety and mechanically checked by a dealer before I bought it so I believe it's in fine condition overall.

Toyota begins shipping Le Yaris to America

Fri, 17 May 2013

Our tiniest Toyota (Scion iQ notwithstanding) is about to get a little French flair. The Japanese automaker announced Thursday that its Toyota Motor Manufacturing France facility would begin building Yaris models destined for North America - specifically, the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. This will mark the first time in history that Toyota has exported vehicles to North America from Europe.
Initially, Toyota will export roughly 25,000 Yaris models to North American markets from France each year. In order to handle this additional production, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France has invested 10 million euro into its French facility.
Despite being somewhat of a snooze-fest (it's a car!), the Yaris carries on in North America with a 106-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with prices starting at $14,370 for the three-door and $15,395 for the five-door, not including $795 for destination.

Krafcik says US Gov. shutdown is slowing Oct. auto sales

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

The government shutdown is eroding consumer confidence in the auto market, says John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai's US sales unit, and could lower October sales by as much as 10 percent, Automotive News reports. "It's that anxiety that keeps customers, potential buyers, on the sidelines when making a big purchase like an automobile," Krafcik says, adding that industry sales could be off by five to 10 percent in October compared to September.
The fourth quarter, which started October 1, usually consists of increased auto sales as dealerships clear their lots to make room for the next year's models. Leading up to the fourth quarter this year, the auto industry was doing well in the fragile, recovering US economy, although September deliveries decreased by 4.2 percent, due in part to this year's Labor Day sales being recorded for August.
To help its customers, Hyundai announced it is deferring new-car loan and lease payments for furloughed federal workers until they're called back to work and also offering them a three-month payment deferral if they buy a new Hyundai in October. "We have already had requests from over a thousand people to have their payments deferred," Krafcik says.
