I bought this car about a month ago to fix up a bit and drive. In the meantime I went out of state and while I was out of state, a friend decided to buy a NEW car and offered me their old Nissan Maxima at a good price. Therefore before I do anything or spend more money, this car is back on the market. It drives very well, the inspection is expired so when I drove it, it was on back roads with an illegal plate but it drives well, the A/C works and has already been converted to R134, there is a sticker in place. You can drive it now, the big worry is the radiator over a lengthy drive, if you replaced that it could drive anywhere. I DO NOT KNOW much about the history of the car other than what the AUTOCHECK says, so if you choose to drive it, you would need to check all fluids as you go to be careful. Probably towing would be better ( I borrowed a tow dolly and brought it about 100 miles myself to get it here) Other than a scrape on the passenger rear quarter and a needed clean up, the car is in remarkable aesthetic condition. Mechanically this is what I KNOW it needs ( it may need more BUT I am selling as is). This is what I know....it needs tires, a radiator, and the control for the hot/cold fixed in the dash ( right now it is a cable you move by hand to control it and it works that way}, I have NOT investigated what it needs back there to hook it back up. I have seen a couple of these cars on eBay for way more than I have this one listed. It may need other things as well, BUT I am being honest, I have not investigated more than what I have said, so I stress, I am selling as is no warrany. Text me with questions or more pics, or if you want to see it, I will be tied up all of July 4th, other than that, we can work something out for you to see it! It runs well, drives well, clutch seems strong. As I want to make clear, I bought it to fix up and drive, I am re-selling just because the Maxima I was offered was nicer and at a great price. I am pretty handy and have fixed up many 92-01 Camrys, this car and engine et al looked very similar, so I was was figuring with my labor, checking it over, fixing the dash temp control, getting a radiator, for under $400 I could fix it up and drive it for years ( that is with my doing the labor) then you have a great gas mileage little Toyota with only 121K. Until I got the Maxima, that was my plan! Anyway email me with any questions or if you want more pictures!!! Manual windows and locks, like I said it needs a good cleaning, but I have seen MUCH worse, it seemed pretty zippy on my short test drive, the clutch seems good, engine runs well. Hit the buy it now, the reserve is lower than the BIT but not by much, and for under a grand, you have a car that will a little tweaking, can last for years tp drive or for some one to learn to drive a stick shift!!! Nothing better than driving a manual I say, at least in country driving like what I do!

Toyota reveals new versions of FT-1 concept at Pebble Beach [w/video]

Thu, 14 Aug 2014

Toyota certainly caught our attention when it unveiled the FT-1 concept at the Detroit Auto Show last January. Coming from the same people who gave us the Lexus LFA, Scion FR-S and Toyota Supra, the FT-1 concept looked striking in its bright red livery. But the Japanese automaker isn't quite done with it yet.
No, we're afraid we don't have a production announcement to share at the moment, but Toyota has revealed two new versions of the FT-1 concept that cast it in different light. Most notable is the graphite version pictured above. Replacing the bright red paintjob and two-tone red and black interior of the original concept, this second iteration - presented in the metal at McCall's Motorworks Revival in Monterey, California - goes for a more upscale and refined graphite exterior and a tan leather interior with exposed metal elements.
Both versions of the virtually road-going FT-1 concept will be playable in GT6, but at the same time Toyota also revealed (in digital form, at least) a virtual racing version of the concept called the FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo. Looking like the original concept was prepared for Japan's Super GT series, the FT-1 Vision GT is retuned for racing, with wider fenders, more extreme aero, competition-spec alloys on slicks and the like.

Unintended acceleration settlement hits Toyota's Q4 bottom line

Fri, 09 May 2014

Depending on how you want to look at things, the US Attorney's Office $1.2-billion dollar settlement with Toyota in March over its unintended acceleration recall was either a big blow to the company or completely inconsequential. From January to March, net income fell five percent to 297 billion yen ($2.89 billion), compared to 313.9 billion yen ($3.05 billion) a year ago. However, the automaker still posted record full-year profits worldwide.
Operating profit also fell in the US by 9 percent to $498.1 million for the quarter, but sales were up by 6 percent to 581,261 vehicles. According to Automotive News, global revenue was still up from January to March by about 13 percent and vehicle sales were up 6 percent to 2.58 million units.
However, the payment to the feds did little to hold the company back last year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Toyota had net income of 1.82 trillion yen ($17.7 billion), compared to 962.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion) in the last fiscal year. Total vehicle sales were also up.

Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell coming to US Northeast in 2016

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Looks like someone was able to read the future back in July. That's when rumors first circulated that Toyota's upcoming fuel cell vehicle will be called the Mirai. Today, Toyota president Akio Toyoda confirmed the name alongside plans to build out a hydrogen refueling infrastructure in the US Northeast.
In Japanese, mirai (??) means "future," which is a fitting name for a car that Toyota believes represents the direction the auto industry will go in the coming years. In a promotional video announcing the name, Toyoda said, "For [Toyota], this isn't just another car. This is an opportunity - an opportunity to really make a difference. And making a difference is what Toyota is all about."
To help that future come into existence, Toyota CEO Jim Lentz also disclosed the vague outline of a fuel cell infrastructure investment that Toyota and partner Air Liquide will make in a five-state Northeastern corridor that consists of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. The Mirai will be available there in 2015 and Toyota is going to build 12 stations in and around New York and Boston to support the launch. More details will be available later.
