Up for auction is a California Survivor!

A first generation

1989 Toyota 4Runner with oversized mud tires!

 

A daily driver. This vehicle is being sold to make room for a pickup truck that

will replace it for my new job.  Just driven from Los Angeles County to South Lake Tahoe.

 

A nice candidate for a Rock Crawler. A rare color of Toyota for this year.

 

The vehicle just had a brake job and a new master cylinder installed by a certified mechanic.

In addition, the vehicle just had a brand new battery installed.

 

We have removed chipped paint from the side, about 2 feet by 2 feet. 

We sanded it to bare sheet metal and then primered it.  This work was just done.

The area is ready to be repainted.

 

It starts every time and is reliable.  The door locks should be replaced.  I have the

 ignition key and I have been just opening with the sliding glass of the convertible

 hood. Locking the doors but unlocking by sliding the window open in the back. The

 gas gauge is also not accurate but the odometer is and will be slightly different as

 the truck will be used a bit this week.The interior is in overall good shape and

cleaned.  

Overall, this is a reliable 4x4

 that would make a fun off road and winter transport

or top down in the summer kind of vehicle.

Fun and highly sought after.

Please see the numerous photos and feel free to ask questions.

 

 

Please note that this vehicle is being sold, "As is and Where is". It is well used but not abused.

Winning the auction is not a "marker" to come by and inspect the vehicle after the auction ends.

If you wish to inspect, please do so before the auction is completed.

I am not responsible to pay any State of California fees.  That is the responsibility of the seller to research and pay and fees

with the DMV.It is also the responsibility of the buyer to research the emission in your state.  We can make no claims or

 verify that it will clear or not clear the emission of your state.I can assist with the logistics of shipping. 

 I can meet a carrier in Reno for you to achieve a better shipping rate. 

For a prearranged negotiated fee amicable to both parties before the auction ends, I can drive the vehicle to

 Sacramento or the San Francisco area or ?  Just please help by getting your plan preapproved

so that we are on the very same page.  I am in Los Angeles a lot and I am in San Jose a lot.

Full payment must be received prior to my drive to the preapproved destination.

 

I am describing and listing this auto to the best of my ability.  Please see my other auctions and thank your for looking!

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.
