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.

Please also note that the winning bidder is responsible for payment within three days.

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!

Toyota restructuring US operations, possibly moving to Texas

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Toyota is poised to announce Monday that it is restructuring its US operations, which may include plans to relocate some of its operations to Texas. Toyota Motor Sales has been located in California since 1957, and is responsible for North American sales, marketing, and distribution for Toyota, Lexus and Scion. According to Toyota literature, its Torrance operations presently employs 6,156 workers and represents a $2.3-billion investment.
Workers in Toyota's Torrance offices were abuzz about the possible relocation to Texas. One young offspring of a Toyota employee even posted to Twitter that her parents warned about the upcoming move, and she said she's refusing to go.
Rumors at one point had Toyota settling in Richardson, TX, just outside Plano. But Autoblog talked to Richardson Mayor Laura Maczka, who said she would be thrilled if that were true, but has not heard anything on the subject. Autoblog also emailed with Bill Sutherland, a city councilman in Torrance, CA, who said, "To date the only info I have is what I have read in the paper expecting a press release Monday."

The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.

Amazon's video streaming service is taking a cue from Netflix and filling its library with new, high-quality original content. This is great news for car enthusiasts, as the company seems interested in tailoring to our diverse tastes. After the successful debut of The Grand Tour, Amazon announced a new documentary based on an annual race in France. Le Mans: Racing is Everything is set to debut later this year. The first action-packed teaser just debuted. The limited series will explore the race's roots and what makes it such a grueling but rewarding place for teams and drivers and such an awesome spectacle for fans. New Black Films, the production company behind the series, embedded itself with the Porsche, Audi, Nissan, Toyota, Aston Martin and Rebellion teams, interviewing drivers like Mark Webber and Andre Lotterer. The series is set to debut on Friday, June 9, plenty of time to catch up before the 24 Hours of Le Mans later next month.
