2nd owner. Original except for stereo which was excellent when installed 10 years. It has spent it's recent half of it's life in FL (6 months) and AZ (11 years). Previously it was in Boston. This means it is not 100% a rust-free AZ truck, nor a clapped out rust bucket from the east. Nothing important has rust. Running boards, wiper arm, tail latch (pictures included), etc have some rust. I took pictures of the rockers and underneath -- there is no rust in the body, frame, or engine. The paint is very nice except the top has fading, some almost to white. It has a small oil leak that only leaks when driven and requires a quart every 6+ tanks of gas. The interior is as pristine as a 21 year old car is -- no rips in upholstery, cracked dash, 3rd seat rarely used -- the inside looks very good. There is a list of little things that is not exhaustive: Driver's mirror motor broken in mirror, gas tank door wobbly, only opens manually, rear latch missing handle but opens fine with the levers the handle is supposed to attach to, fender flares screwed on when replaced due to damage, small dent front bumper, some small chips in windshield, paint, and especially fender flares, running boards icky (rust, not flat, etc). Over hard bumps dash light can blink. Antennae does not go all the way up. Lost the remote for the key (can easily get a new one from Toyota).

I want to repeat that everything important works properly and safely. The brakes are perfect. The steering is. The transmission works correctly. It runs strong and does not smoke. The tires are good. It has been well kept.

In fact -- the very worst thing on the truck is the running boards.

This was the car of women and they never used it as a 4x4 -- no off roading, (husband tried it once, never again :-) ) no dents in the bottom, nothing ever filled with mud, well maintained and garaged most of the time (including now).

This would be excellent just as-is and has many years left in it with proper maintenance. Or you can take it off road and not worry about trashing an 85k rig (like the new ones). Or you can modify it -- soup the engine with a rebuild. This is no show queen, but it is a very nice 93 Cruiser. Me ... I'd chuck the running boards anyway and lift it and enjoy.

I am selling the car for the owner so it can take more time to get answers. Or you can send me a phone number and I'll have her call you.

Several people noticed I had no interior pictures -- that is because I hit the maximum of 24 pictures and they did not even give me an error message. The balance of the pictures are at the URL above. Interior, wheels, dash, stereo, door panels and more! Also took some redundancy out when re-listing and now have some interior pictures. Note that what looks like a hole in the carpet under driver is NOT -- it is a hole in a floor mat. The carpets are great and the mats OK except the one.

Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.

General Motors became second-largest US advertiser in 2013

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

General Motors might be mired in several recalls, as well as the ongoing investigations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Congress into the automaker's response to those recalls. However, the company can celebrate taking the title of the US' second-largest advertiser in 2013. According to Ad Week examining a recently released study, total advertising spending in the US posted its fourth consecutive year of rising expenditures with 0.9-percent growth to $140.2 billion. Of that, the auto industry spent $15.2 billion to promote its goods in 2013, up 3.8 percent.
The country's biggest advertiser was Procter and Gamble, which dropped $3.17 billion in 2013, an increase of 11.8 percent. GM became the nation's second largest promoter with $1.794 billion in spending, up 10 percent. The biggest proportion of that money went to sell Cadillac and GMC. AT&T barely lost out with $1.793 billion in advertising, 15.2 percent growth. The 10 businesses with the highest ad investments spent a cumulative $15.9 billion during the year, 6.6 percent higher than 2012. Toyota came in eighth place making it the only other automaker to rank in the top 10.
The study also indicates that there is a shift in advertising spending from television and print to the Internet. There was 15.7 percent more money outlaid to promote products online in 2013 than the previous year. In comparison, television dropped 0.1 percent, newspapers were down 3.7 percent and radio fell 5.6 percent.

Toyota to shock with Supra concept for Detroit Auto Show?

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

We've written about approximately 187,000 rumors about a return of the Toyota Supra to the land of living cars. There are a couple of good reasons for this: first, Toyota won't stop dropping hints about a new halo sports car. Late this summer, Toyota sales guru Kazuo Ohara called a Supra successor "one of the options we have" - a comment followed by a hint that there would be "better news" on the subject in the future.
The second reason for all the Toyota tales is, of course, that we all have missed the Supra since its departure from the US market in 1998. So, when a member of the Autoblog team is party to a nudge-and-wink-filled conversation about a new Supra concept headed to January's Detroit Auto Show, we tend to listen up.
A 400+ horsepower hybrid sports car would match up pretty well with the upcoming NSX.
