Okay so heres a real sweet opportunity for a buyer that knows what is here. This is a 1997 Toyota Tacoma Automatic with only 68k miles on the 2.4L I4 that is all original.
I'll tell the story of how this came about. Originally from upstate New York, it was an old mans truck that he bought brand new in 1997, It was driven once or twice a week when his daughter or son came to visit. The rest of the time the truck was garaged. So until 2010 this continued until he passed, his family then sold this tacoma to my father with 17k original miles on it. This is when the exhaust, brakes, tires, cap, rotor, wires, battery, shocks, struts, timing belt checked, timing tuned, tranny fluid changed, and a general tune up was performed by a professional shop. December 2011 my father sold me the truck and I had plugs, wires, cap, and rotor done again because we are particular with performance and maintenance.
The body and undercarriage has not been sprayed and has no rust at all. This isn't to say there aren't a amount of small scratches consistent with the age of this truck. The worst of the body is a dent in the rear right down by the bumper (pictured). Most of the scratches have been touched up. I try to describe everything 100% as not to mislead or misrepresent, more pictures upon request.
Oil has been changed religiously at least every three thousand miles along with the oil and air filter.
Most of the mileage since 2010 has been highway (from NY to TX thrice, NY to AZ thrice) plus various other road trips.
A new bolt-in bed liner was installed in 2010 and is in great shape.
The camper shell has had some interior work done to make camping very convenient, a three piece deck that pulls out at bed level and a tent conversion for the back (pictured). none of this gets in the way of original functionality and can be easily removed if desired.
There is 35% tint installed on the side windows and a 5" visor on the windshield.
A power inverter has been installed under the passenger side seat Husky 450 Watts 2 plugs.
The interior is very clean and never smoked in. (I worked at a carwash and detail shop, the the truck has been washed and cleaned inside every week since 2010) as well as a clay bar treatment, correction cream, and hand wax, 2 months ago.
The original steel wheels and metal hubcaps are also included with two studded snow tires mounted that only have one season on them (about 95% tread).
A/C blows freezing, heats great too.
Anyone who knows these trucks and the 2.4 I4 in them knows that with regular maintenance they will run like new until 300k easy.
The reason for my selling this truck is that I want an Small SUV or wagon (more seats)
I am open to very limited trades, strictly, 2004-2008 subaru forester xt, legacy gt wagon, outback gt wagon, under 125k, 5speed. that's it.
If you are interested please call me for more information or to come look at it. The truck is located in Flagstaff. My number is 518-956-4676 and the name is Dillon. Feel free to contact me for anything regarding the truck.

BMW-Toyota joint sports car project is on like Donkey Kong
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's official - there will be a jointly developed sports car from BMW and Toyota. While the two auto giants signed a Memorandum of Understanding that pledged to pursue "joint development of architecture and components for a future sports vehicle" back in June of 2012, in the interim, it has remained unclear how those plans had been progressing. BMW has finally officially confirmed that the German and Japanese manufacturers will be codeveloping a pair of sports cars in addition to pursuing other disciplines including fuel cell systems and lightweight technologies.
"We have agreed on a joint architecture for a sports car. What is important is that there will be two different vehicles that are authentic to the two brands," BMW Development Chief Herbert Diess told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reuters is reporting. This is a very, very big step for both brands, but now the speculation can officially begin as to what the products of this agreement will look like.
There's ample reason to believe that the BMW-Toyota tie up will result in a Supra successor based on comments made by the chief engineer of the GT86/FR-S program, Tatsuya Tada, back in August. Follow that with a rumor from earlier this month that Toyota could debut a Supra concept car at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show later this month, and we could be seeing the fruits of this partnership sooner rather than later.
TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested
Thu, 05 Sep 2013The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!
