If you want to talk deal, pick up the phone

and make your serious offer.

I don't respond nicely to stupid messages such as:

"What's your reserve?"

"What is your bottom line?"

"What's the least you'll take?"

"What is your bottom dollar?"

"Do you have a Buy-it-Now?"

"What'll it take to buy it?"

"What is your asking price?"

I will not email you a figure but we can talk about it.

It's a flippin' Auction! That means . . . it's your number that counts . . . not mine.

Also, if yours is among the hundreds of emails I get with any of the above lame questions, I will immediately assume that you(r):

• have not taken time to read the listing

• have zero intent to purchase

• are clueless about relevant market values

• forthcoming "offer" will be completely detached from reality

26 years in the business has proven beyond all doubt that serious buyers read every line, look at every picture, research well enough on their own and feel confident making a real offer.

Our presentations are unequalled, on eBay or anywhere else.

We are therefore, usually able to choose from among quality buyers that actually want to purchase a vehicle.

THE ONLY WAY TO WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL ME!

My vehicles are so unique and so rare,

knowing how much they will or should sell for is nearly impossible.

That is the magic of an eBay auction . . . serious buyers making a serious offer.

Backstory from the owner...

You are looking for the nicest, best kept, best maintained 4Runner you can find. You are here because the quality found in your neck of the woods, by even the lowest standards, is a joke. I know exactly how you feel. I attend specialty and dealer-only auctions every week searching for the best of the best in what me and my assistant (Foy) call "niche autos." I scan lists of over 3,000 vehicles locally each week and select cars I've come to know are hard to find and that fit my business model of marketing exclusively on eBay. 3rd generation 4Runners make it onto my own list every time they show up and a small number, maybe 2-3 a week, appear at one of the three major auctions here in the Las Vegas area or perhaps in local classifieds. During the past seven years I see dozens or more 4Runners every single year and what that means for you is; I have looked at, touched and smelled a lot of Toyota SUVs. I am extremely picky about what to buy and this 4Runner is one of just a handful nice enough for this business model. Past ownership, service history and condition, condition, condition are what matters. Used vehicles are not always treated well, but a precious few are taken care of. This particular 4Runner is one of those rare finds and you will not want to pass it up. Beautiful paint, spectacular interior and an absolute knock-out to see in person. As good as my pictures are, they can't possibly show how truly beautiful this truck really is. What else could you want? A great deal? I have that covered too but you will not be purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or even low book value. You already know you get what you pay for and if you want unmatched quality, service, care and condition, this 4Runner is a super rare find. Read what Foy has to say after spending a few days behind the wheel. Examine every picture in detail, see the amazing condition, up close and personal and then make your call and give me an offer. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

After taking this SUV home, I now see why everybody likes these so much. This is a 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 in unbelievably good condition with just 68,673 original low miles. It has color-matched running boards, power sun roof and Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) and it drives like an absolute dream. 4Runners are probably the most sought after and most reliable SUV ever made and a quick search on eBay or anywhere else will confirm just how few 4Runners there are with mileage this low, let alone condition this spectacular . . .

The Millennium Silver paint is gorgeous to see on this no hit/no accident gem; very few minimal scratches and paint chips. The body is straight, tires are awesome and the 16-inch alloy wheels are perfect as far as I can see . . .

Seams are straight and consistent and panel alignment is new-car tight. The dark tint is much appreciated here in sunny southern Nevada . . .

Receiver toe hitch wired and ready for a trailer and roof rack has adjustable bars . . .

Rear wiper, rear wing and integrated mud flaps . . .

Exterior trim is beautiful and as you can see, this 4Runner's quality stands out from any angle

I don't know how he does it but once again, Doug (owner, Viva Las Vegas Autos, Inc.) has found that one-in-a-million perfect choice diamond everybody hopes to find, dealers and customers alike. It's an easy sell too, with quality far above even the highest expectations. This remarkable SUV goes down the road smooth as silk, shifts perfectly, stops straight as an arrow. The air conditioner blows ice cold and the CD/audio sounds great. And again, look at the competition and see how rare a 4Runner with mileage this low is, with quality condition to match . . .

Carpeted floor mats, leather wrapped tilt steering wheel and lumbar support . . .

Also has a rear heater with separate controls . . .

68,673 works out to just over 5,200 miles a year - roughly a third the normal mileage for a 13-year old vehicle . . .

3.4 Liter DOHC V6 Engine (5VZ-FE)

183 horsepower @ 4,800/217 ft-lb torque @ 3,600 RPM

We always take all of our vehicles to a third party service center that knows our commitment to details and determination to provide our buyers with exceptional quality. No different with this vehicle even though the miles were super low. Their recommendation was to replace the front struts on the truck, replace the timing belt and water pump (not cheap), replace a broken antenna mast and service the fluids with a new synthetic oil change. We did all they recommended. Call any reputable service facility and get the cost on that recommendation, it won't be much less than about $2500. That's money you will not be spending that you would from most other dealers and absolutely if you bought from a private owner...that's why they might sell them cheaper than I do. As I've said before, I may not be the seller with the cheap winning prices, but you won't be spending a fortune on hidden issues with me either.

Clean, dry and perfect . . .no leaks...no damage

Same shot as above but with the front skid plates removed for your inspection. How many sellers take the trouble to do that?

Full size spare and clean as a whistle back here too.

Original owner books.

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.

With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.

Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do.

No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.

If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number.

Autoblog Minute: UAW and FCA avoid strike, Clarkson teases new show

Fri, Oct 9 2015

FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. A UAW strike of FCA was avoided thanks to a zero-hour tentative agreement reached this week. Worker concerns that were renegotiated in the new [00:00:30] deal include adjustments to the two-tier wage scale, health care costs, and production outsourcing. Now check-in with Autoblog as we update our reports on this evolving story. Shooting began on Amazon Prime's new automotive show starring the former Top Gear crew. That's Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Now Clarkson threw out a tweet from day one of filming on location at Algarve Motor Park in Portugal. The picture features the show's [00:01:00] three stars and crew posing with the holy trinity of hyper cars. That's a McLaren P1, a Ferrari LaFerrari, and a Porsche 918 Spyder. This Prime show is being called Gear Knobs though the name is unofficial. Now if a tweet is any indication of what we can expect, who cares what it's called this is gonna be awesome. (Eds Note: Clarkson tweeted Friday that the show will not be called Gear Knobs.) Toyota predicts drivers could be obsolete on highways as early as 2020, with technology dubbed the Toyota Highway Teammate or THT. Toyota is using a modified [00:01:30] Lexus GS to show what this is capable of. THT is already able to create a driverless freeway car that's capable of changing lanes, making passes and taking curves. Plus, it can keep safe distances from other vehicles. Toyota is currently testing this on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. And I'll have some added insight on the BMW M4 GTS. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. [00:02:00] Show Logo Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

Toyota's Euro Aygo spied in prototype form

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

The five-door version of the next-generation Toyota Aygo, a Euro offering cloned by the Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1, has been caught out on the town wearing all black. Facelifted early last year, predictions are that the next version of the city car will be slightly lower and wider than the current car, with improved ergonomics and materials. Based on what little can be seen for now, a new intake and headlight treatment should be on the menu in front, with taillights placed higher on its backside.
A three-door version is expected, but a gasoline-hybrid model is also rumored, along with power and fuel economy improvements to the three-cylinder engine that presently puts out 67 horsepower and 69 pound-feet of torque.
We should see it next year, along with the new Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108.

Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.
