Toyota Previa DIESEL minivan!

This is a unique vehicle that is only available as an option in countries outside the United States. The vehicle has a Toyota diesel engine and transmission imported from Japan with low mileage and a clear GA title stating diesel. These cars are known to go a half million miles, especially with the diesel options. This vehicle has been nearly fully restored with fresh paint, a nice interior, and lots of preventative maintenance. This car is for the true Toyota diesel enthusiast! This is the perfect car for a family that is eco-conscious and wants to drive on alternative fuels, either biodiesel or Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO). Also, this can be a great small traveling and camping or delivery vehicle that gets great gas mileage.

We just put fresh paint on the car where needed, the wheels, and the bumpers. This car only has less than 10 thousand miles with its current diesel engine/transmission. These vans were ahead of their time with the engine mounted below the driver and passenger seats providing maximum room inside with a truck-like frame yet a very comfortable ride, a very stable and safe vehicle.

Here are the details:

- 91 Toyota Previa diesel nearly fully restored - NOT AVAILABLE IN USA

- The body itself had over 200K miles before it was converted to a diesel, but is in very good shape

*** odometer discrepancy - odometer/speedometer shows 145,000k as it was replaced in the past.

- The diesel engine/transmission, imported from Japan, has less than 100,000 miles

- It will get 25 to 30+ miles per gallon depending on how it is driven

- Updated rear differential with better gearing for lower RPM's on Hwy - better mileage and faster($350 update)

- Speedometer just a little off due to this update

- Brand new pioneer radio with remote has been installed with CD and 1/4 ” input jack

- The interior and exterior are in very good condition

- 2 new tires rated at 70K, other two in decent shape

- Fresh paint job worth $1,500 - $2,000(not entire car)

- Diesel engine-tranny combo with swap kit from Japan valued at $2,600 plus installation

- Custom installation valued at $4,000 with many parts replaced including water pump, filters, and more…

- New air filter and fuel filters

- Runs and drives great!

- Nearly new battery

- Some small quarks: driver door needs to be rekeyed, small scuff on driver-side rear(barely noticable), e-brake light stays on, windshield washer fluid system intermittent, small crack in plastic piece behind steering wheel.

- A $10,000+ value if you had to start from scratch! It is hard to find a Previa in this good of shape!

This is the perfect small eco-friendly delivery vehicle, traveling vehicle, or family vehicle. The engine is strong and starts right up even on very cold days. Great for Biodiesel or SVO! Nice small diesel van.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

eBay Find of the Day: Back To The Future Marty McFly 1985 Toyota SR5 pickup tribute

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

With DeLorean time machine replicas thick on the ground, it was only a matter of time before someone started recreating the other vehicles in the McFly garage. At the end of the first Back to the Future movie, Marty returns to 1985 to find his sweet-looking Toyota SR5 truck all waxed and ready for his date. That truck always did look great in the movie, and now's your chance to own this close facsimile.
This Back to the Future replica Toyota is on eBay with a price of $14,500, which the seller claims is half of what's been invested. Perhaps that's true, but it's still a nearly 30-year-old truck that's covered 280,000 miles. The seller does say the 22RE engine has been recently rebuilt, along with the rest of the drivetrain, and there's new paint, too. The attention to detail is admirable, and if you've always admired Marty's '80s-chic 4x4, now's your chance to own it.

Toyota recalling 20k 2014 and 2015 cars and CUVs with 3.5L engines

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

Toyota has announced a recall of roughly 20,000 vehicles covering the 2014 Avalon, Camry, Highlander (pictured) and Sienna, as well as the 2015 Lexus RX luxury crossover. The affected vehicles are all powered the 2GR-FE engine, which in layman's terms, is Toyota's well-regarded 3.5-liter V6.
According to Toyota's statement, a parts supplier might not have welded "the end cap on the right-hand fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment" correctly, meaning fuel could leak. Leaking fuel, of course, increases the chance of an engine fire. That said, no fires, crashes or injuries have been reported due to the issue.
Owners will be notified to report to dealers, where techs will check the fuel delivery pipe and fit a replacement part as necessary.
