We hate to sell this great truck but we need to get out of the payment so it must go. We have already bought a used vehicle and need to sell this one quickly to get the sales tax credit. This is a 2011 Toyota Tacoma double cab with 4 doors, exterior brown and interior tan color. It is a 4 cyl, 2wd and the 4 cyl has plenty of power. I have sometimes got 22 mpg on highway but 20 most of time and around 16 around town. The truck has cloth interior, cd player, heat and air, cruise, wheel upgrade was a $800 upgrade. We recently replaced the front catalytic converter at a muffler shop. Toyota wanted $2400 for this and the muffler charged $150 so it was an easy decision for us. We just put brakes on and replaced the front tires. They are Dunlops and the rear tires are Fuzion and have about half the tread left on them. We had a tire that was not repairable so we just replaced two at that time--drives fine and no noise or problems. We are the original owners. The truck had some door damage when a guy backed out and hit me as I was driving through a parking lot--his hitch hit the door and Stadium Auto Body here in Jonesboro did the repairs--you can't tell where it was hit. There is a small rub spot on dash as shown in pics. Might could be touched up but we have not tried. The tailgate has some scratches and small indentations from wife trying to pull a small trailer to pick up some furniture and she left the tailgate down. We have a $1000 deductible so we did not file and we know truck will sell lower because of this but it's not even noticeable from a little ways off. We have looked locally and cant find any of these trucks under $20,000. we are going to start at 16,200 with no reserve. The truck is financed through Toyota Motor Credit so there will need to be a check for payoff and a cash or cashiers check to us. There is a rear sliding back glass and the back up camera is one thing that will be very hard to give up--love that thing! Truck has 96,500 miles and will go up but not much. My wife has been the driver and is 55yrs old since the day we purchased. We honestly love the truck but we need to not have a payment. Great truck for someone, great color, made to look like 4wd but it is 2wd. Truck has normal wear, a few scratches here and there--its not new! We live in Jonesboro, AR and we would be willing to drive for delivery up to 200 miles--otherwise you will need to pick up. Please do not bid unless you plan to pay--we need to get out of payment so please don't mess us up. We appreciate you looking--we probably forgot something so just ask. There are no known issues with truck other than those disclosed. We will leave the nice rubber floor mats and the towing hitch if you want it. Truck is for sale locally but as soon as we receive a bid it is ebay auction only--if it sells before a bid is placed we will end the auction. We require a $300 deposit and payment in 3 days unless you make prior arrangements with us. We will contact you with payoff info and the Toyota Financial paperwork. Thanks! Email us with any questions--thanks for looking!

Toyota plans biggest stock buyback in over a decade

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

At the end of December, 2013 Toyota had a cash stockpile of 1.8 trillion yen ($17.5B US). As of March 31, at the end of its current financial year, company coffers are expected to swallow another 1.9 trillion yen ($18.4B US) in net profit - said to be a record sum for the Japanese automaker. In a gesture signaling a turnaround from the horrors of the global recession, Bloomberg reports that Toyota will buy back 60 million shares of its stock, as much as 1.89 percent of the company, for something like 360 billion yen ($3.5B US). It's the first buyback since 2009 and the largest buyback since 2003, when it spent roughly 390 billion yen ($3.8B US) repurchasing shares.
Company president Akio Toyoda founded the Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF), a non-profit that will support international groups working on transportation issues in emerging markets. Half of the stock that Toyota buys, 30 million shares, will be sold to the foundation via the Japanese Trustee Services Bank for one yen per share, the dividend providing the foundation's initial funding. The other 30 million shares will be canceled, a company spokesman telling Reuters that the company wants to reward shareholders.
Industry analysts have been asking Toyota to either return money to shareholders or invest in new factories, but Toyota has ruled out the latter. After getting burned with excess capacity when the financial crisis came, the company is focused on extracting efficiencies from the plants it already has. Toyota has said it plans to complete the buyback by June of this year.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.

Kayaba, Sumitomo to pay millions for price-fixing in US

Sat, Sep 19 2015

Kayaba Industry Co, which does business in the US as suspension parts maker KYB, and Sumitomo Electric Industries are facing payments in the millions to settle price-fixing cases about the components that they make. As part of the Department of Justice's ongoing crackdown of price fixing in the auto industry, KYB agreed to pay $62 million and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to set the cost of shock absorbers from the mid '90s through 2012. The company allegedly worked with co-conspirators to keep the cost of the parts high, and those components then made it into vehicles from Honda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. "Any collusive agreement among competitors to restrict price competition undercuts our free enterprise system and violates the law," said Carter M. Stewart, US Attorney of the Southern District of Ohio, in the DoJ's announcement. Over the past few years, the DoJ has brought cases against 37 parts suppliers and 55 executives, leading to over $2.6 billion in fines. The investigations haven't always been so successful – some of the Japanese execs fled from the US to avoid prosecution. Critics allege that price fixing is simply how business is done. According to Automotive News, Sumitomo Electric Industries is also facing a $50 million settlement in a civil lawsuit that's related to price fixing of parts like wiring harnesses and heater control panels. The plaintiffs include owners and dealers that purchased vehicles with these parts. The company asserts that the violations are from before 2010, and it now has different process in place to avoid further violations. KYB Agrees to Plead Guilty and Pay $62 Million Criminal Fine for Fixing Price of Shock Absorbers Kayaba Industry Co. Ltd., dba KYB Corporation (KYB) has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $62 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix the price of shock absorbers installed in cars and motorcycles sold to U.S. consumers. According to charges filed today, KYB conspired from the mid-1990s until 2012 to fix the prices of shock absorbers sold to Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (manufacturer of Subaru vehicles), Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Nissan Motor Company Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Company, including their subsidiaries in the United States.
