Rare 1990 Toyota Camry All Trac Awd 4wd Sedan, Celica, Corolla on 2040-cars
Grass Valley, California, United States
|
I purchased this All Trac for my girlfriend to drive to her work in Tahoe during the snowy months. Unfortunately we had the least amount of precipitation in Tahoe history and the car was used less than 500 miles over the winter. I have owned 40 + German cars and this was my first Japanese car purchase. I've been impressed to say the least. Other than needing a clutch the car has been nothing but reliable. I replaced the clutch with a proper genuine AISIN Toyota clutch. I replaced the belts, distributor shaft seal, put in new Toyota coolant, gave it Mobil 1 5w-40 and it has been nothing but reliable. I also replaced the middle and rear sections of the exhaust system with new bolt in parts.(no hacks or welds) I am moving and its going to be easier to just let this project go. I had plans to repaint it and bring it back to as close to new as possible but I have other projects that come first.
I purchased the car outside of Reno, NV. It still has the Window sticker from Carson City Toyota where it was originally sold new in the glove box. Although somewhat worn the car still has its Toyota of Carson City, NV floor mats in it. The car has been in the Reno/Carson valley area its whole life and is extremely dry with no rust. The paint on the roof has typical Nevada sun damage as well as the hood and trunk. The car does have a few dings and some light damage on the passenger side rear wheel well. The car has an aftermarket sun roof that does not leak. Please take a good look at all of the photos. The burgundy interior is in nice condition. Dash is perfect and has a carpet cover but there are no cracks under the cover. All gauges work. It has a CD player from a Scion which fits perfectly and looks stock. Drivers seat has an area of wear (see photo) Passenger side rear door interior panel is damaged. (see photo). All four power windows / locks work. Overall this is a nice solid car that could be made really nice with little effort. I can't really think of a more reliable AWD sedan for the money. I urge you to check the car out in person before placing a bid on it. This is Ebay. The high bidder owns it. I will answer all questions within 24 hours and take additional photos when requested. Vehicle is currently located in Grass Valley, CA. Please email me with any questions through Ebay. Let me know if you would like additional photos of certain areas. What it needs: A/C system needs to be charged Battery does not appear to be the original size but works just fine Hood has a ding on drivers front corner, few dents and dings Trunk lid does not stay open on its own bumper covers are faded and slightly wavy Shocks appear to be original, drives nice but probably due for replacement Paint is oxidized from sun in areas. I get a small drop of oil on the ground after parking it. Have not looked into it. THE GOOD Clean California title Passes smog with flying colors All gauges/ interior lighting works All exterior lights work (turn signals, tail, headlight, etc) Shifts perfectly. Push button center diff lock comes on and off almost instantly like it should NADA BLUE BOOK VALUE IS LOW $2,869 AVERAGE RETAIL $4,505 HIGH RETAIL $5,568 Thanks for looking and good luck ! (vanity plates do not come with the car, bring your own license plates or tags) *****I require a $500 deposit through Paypal within 24 hours and the rest in cash upon pick up. Money orders and cashiers checks will need 5 days to clear my bank. The car will not leave my possession until my bank says the funds have cleared.***** On Aug-06-14 at 21:29:18 PDT, seller added the following information: I've been asked what the car needs to be driven. Nothing really. I drove it to San Francisco and back recently (3hrs each way) without issue. The car has been mainly sitting for the last 6 months and should be looked over as any car that has not been driven much should be. There is a slight noise on deceleration every once in a while. It is not coming from the driveline. I think it may be an exhaust mount/ hanger. |

Here We Go Again: Lexus attacks EVs in new ad [UPDATE]
Wed, Sep 10 2014UPDATE: We got a comment from founding member of Plug In America Paul Scott on this ad. It's available below. The last time Lexus attacked plug-in battery vehicles in an ad, it had to apologize. The company is remaining on message, though, and has revisited a hybrid-vehicle advertising campaign that implies that driving a battery-electric vehicle is a big waste of time, because of all the charging you need to do. With the new spot, Lexus once again raised hackles of plug-in vehicle advocates because, once again, the accuracy is questioned. "The ad's message was that a consumer could [drive] a vehicle with advanced technology today, without sacrifice or change in habit." – Lexus spokesman Brian Bolain Lexus is running print ads (click to enlarge) in publications like Wired poking fun at EVs, the International Business Times says. Lexus highlights range anxiety in the spot, comparing the amount of time it takes to fully recharge an EV – and the idea that air conditioning and using the radio can shorten an EV's range – to the fun of just driving a Lexus. "The [print] ad was merely intended to paint a picture of life with a hybrid, which is basically no different from life with a traditional gas-powered vehicle, versus life with an EV, which can have challenges or at least uncertainties," Lexus spokesman Brian Bolain told AutoblogGreen. "In other words, at its core, the ad's message was that a consumer could participate in driving a vehicle with advanced technology today, without sacrifice or change in habit." The campaign picks up where Lexus's previous anti-EV campaign left off this spring. A website promoting Lexus's hybrids (and parent company Toyota's H2 vehicles) claimed that there was a hydrogen refueling infrastructure set up in 20 US states (not anywhere close to true). Plug-in advocates were also quick to note that higher-powered EV recharging systems can allow a plug-in to be recharged in far less than the four hours the Lexus site claimed. Of course, Toyota has a lot more skin in the game when it comes to hybrids and, starting next year, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles than it does for plug-ins. Through August, the company sold just 842 RAV4 EVs and about 11,500 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrids in the US. That compares to almost 19,000 Nissan Leaf EVs and a Tesla Model S count that's likely close to that figure as well (Tesla breaks out neither monthly sales numbers nor US-only sales for the Model S).
2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Ultimate Edition
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Introduced at the end of 2006, this is the last year for the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the reincarnated FJ40-series Land Cruiser that will shortly journey to Takama-ga-hara, the Plain of High Heaven. In its first model year, we drove it to SEMA and found it, shall we say, coarse. It bobbled on the freeway and droned in the cabin, its boxy interior providing four bounce-boards for unpleasant frequencies. Tall mirrors helped one work around the eclipse of vision aft of the B-pillars, but navigating traffic required forethought and technique. Its turning circle was measured in kilometers. For the first two years of its life, it needed premium gas. It may have been fun to look at, but we couldn't wait to get out of it.
That's not the case anymore, and now the FJ Cruiser is poised to join a long list of vehicles that got better and better, then got axed.

Toyota launches BMW-powered Verso in Europe
Tue, 03 Dec 2013BMW makes some sweet-revving engines, but its own vehicles aren't the only ones running BMW engines. So do the latest from Rolls-Royce and Mini, of course, as well as a handful of Peugeots and Citroëns thanks to its joint engine program with PSA. Wiesmann uses BMW engines, as did the famous McLaren F1. And now we can add one more to the list.
That would be the Toyota Verso, a Corolla-based minivan which Toyota builds in Turkey and sells in Europe and a few other markets overseas. The Verso is also now officially the first beneficiary of the partnership between Toyota and BMW as the Japanese automaker has released the MPV with BMW's 1.6-liter turbodiesel four.
The 111-horsepower engine is coupled to a Toyota transmission and joins the Verso range as the fourth (and least powerful) engine in the lineup, alongside the 122hp 2.0 diesel and the gasoline options with 1.6 liters and 160 hp and 1.8 for 180. Future collaborations between the two automakers will include fuel-cell development, a new joint sportscar platform, lightweight bodywork research and a new generation of lithium-air batteries. See the press release below for further details.
