OK..SAD AS IT IS I HAVE TO LET GO OF A VERY SPECIAL TOYOTA THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 2008 BUT HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME AND MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY THESE DAYS... THE TRUCK IS SPECIAL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS
1) ITS AN 1989 FIRST YEAR OF NEW BODY TYPE WHICH IS IS THE MOST CONVENTED ALONG WITH THE 1983-1988 BODY TYPES
2) ITS A REGULAR CAB PICKUP WITH FACTORY SUNROOF AND POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS, ANTENNA. THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND TO BE HONEST MINE IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE THEM I HAVE EVER SEEN.. USUALLY THESE OPTIONS GO WITH THE EXTENDED CAB
3) TRUCK CAME FROM NEW MEXICO ORIGINALLY BEFORE I OWNED IT IN NEW YORK (PAID $5000) AND HAS NO RUST TO BE CONCERNED WITH,, TRUCK IS ALSO RARE FOR A TOYOTA FROM THESE YEARS SO THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS TO DO WHATEVER TO THE CAR WITH KNOWING YOU HAVE A GOOD SHELL TO GO ALONG WITH IT
4) HAS CHROME SIDE RAILS IN GOOD SHAPE THAT JUST NEED GOOD CLEANING AND ALSO A FRONT WINDOW SUN VISOR SPOILER WITH LIGHTS WHICH GIVES THE TRUCK A HEAD TURNING APPEAL AT NIGHT.. CHROME SIDE VIEW WINDOWS, ALSO HAS HAD A RAVEN CAP SINCE 1989 SO BED IS VERY CLEAN... AND WHILE THEY ARE OFF CAR HAS WIRING TO BUMPER FOR FOG LIGHTS ALREADY.. THE FOG LIGHTS WHILE LENSES CRACKED WILL COME WITH THE TRUCK
5) THE PERSON i HAD BOUGHT IT FROM DID SOME THINGS LIKE CHANGE THE TIMING BELT WATER PUMP ETC SO IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE 6 CYLINDER THAT IT CAME WITH YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT THESE 2 THINGS DONT NEED DONE AGAIN ANYTIME SOON. i ALSO REPLACED THE CLUTCH AT ABOUT 155,000 MILES
THAT SAID..IT NEED A GOOD HOME BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS SINCE I HAD IT I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO UPKEEP IT THE WAY I WOULD HAVE LIKED AND LIVING IN NEW YORK CAN BE HARD ON A NEW AUTOMOBILE YET ONE THAT IS A CLASSIC ANTIQUE AT THIS POINT.. IM SELLING IT AS HAVENT DRIVEN IT MUCH IN LAST YEAR AND SINCE I DONT HAVE TIEM OR MONEY TO TREAT IT RIGHT FEEL ITS BETTER TO LET SOMEBODY ELSE HAVE IT AS THIS TRUCK DESERVES TO BE ON THE ROAD FOR A LONG TIME IS A GOOD CANDITATE FOR SO MANY THINGS.. WHILE TRUCK HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN AND STARTS RIGHT UP MY DREAM WAS ALWAYS HOPING TO PUT A DIESEL ENGINE IN IT ONE DAY
HERES WHAT I KNOW ABOUT WHAT THE TRUCK NEEDS OR BLEMISHES IT HAS
1) WHILE THERE IS NO RUST INCLUDING THE FRAME TO BE WORRIED ABOUT IN THE LEAST THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SCRATCHED AND BANGED UP HERE AND THERE FROM BEING PARKED ON NEW YORK STREETS.. SEE PICTURES BUT THESE INCLUDE A BENT REAR BUMPER, DENT IN LOWER REAR QUARTER, DENT ON PASSENGER DRIVERS DOOR AND A NICE NICK OF A DENT DIRECTLY ON TIP OF PASSENGER FENDER. REAR DRIVER QUARTER AND BENT REAR BUMPER ON DRIVERS SIDE WAS FROM WHEN I LOANED MY CAR TO A FRIEND AND HE HAD SOME KIND OF FENDER BENDER AND GOT CLIPPED IN REAR BY A POLICE CAR THERE...DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT BUT DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL AS YOU CAN SEE
2) PAINT IS GOOD BUT TRUCKS NEED A GOOD RUB DOWN CLEANING AND WAX. REAR BED MAY HAVE BEEN REPAINTED BEFORE I WONED IT AS SOMETIMES I NOTICE THE WHITE LOOKS A LItTLE DIFFEReNT FROM CAB.. THIS MAY ALSO JUST BE A DIRT THING
3) POWER WINDOWS OR SOMETHING ON THE SAME LINE HAS A SHORT SOMEWHERE AND KEEPS BLOWING THE FUSE... I BASICALL KEEP EXTRAS IN TEH TRUCK AND REPLACE THEM WHEN THEY BLOW BUT IT HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK AND I SIMPLY HAVE HAD NO TIME TO DEAL WITH IT PROPERLY AND SOURCE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE PANEL ON THE DRIVER WINDOW IS OFF THE CAR RIGHT NOW AS I REPLACED THE SWITCH AT ONE TIME..NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHERE THE ISSUE IS
POWER ANTENNA IS BROKEN OFF AND NEEDS REPLACED.. ANOTHER CASUALTY OF NYC
4) TRUCK WAS BROKEN INTO THRU THE BACK SO BOTH CAP WINDOW IS MISSING AND THE CAB WINDOW ITSELF NEED TO BE REPLACED
5) SOME DEBRIS OF SOME KIND CRACKED THE SUNROOF DURING HURRICANE SANDY... IT DOES NOT LEAK BUT NEEDS REPLACED AT SOME POINT
6) HAS EXHAUST LEAK.. REAR PIPE IS MISSING (SEE PICTURE) AND MAY BE LEAKING SLIGHTLY AROUND CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECAUSE I SOMETIMES SMELL FUMES IN THE CAB
7) REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS NEEDS REPLACED SOON AS IT STARTED LEAKING BRAKE FLUID RECENTLY. I BASICALLY JUST CHECK IT FROM TIME TO TIME AND REPLENISH THE FLUID.. HAVE HAD NO MONEY TO FIX IT UNFORTUNATELY WHICH IS WHAT I PREFERRED TO DO BEFORE SELLING IT
8) COULD USE AN OIL CHANGE AS SEEMS THERE IS A SLIGHT LEAK AT OIL FILTER AND ALTHO THE TRUCK RUNS GREAT ID SAY A TUNE UP IS A GOOD IDEA
9) BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE TRUCK AND BEING DRIVEN AROUND BUMPY NEW YORK LIKELY NEED NEW SHOCKS AND WHEN CHECKING FOR WHERE THE BRAKE LEAK NOTICED SOME PLAY IN THE IDLER ARM THAT MIGHT MEAN IT NEED REPLACED AS WELL IF I HAD TIME AND MONEY I WOULD HAVE RAISED TRUCK AND OVERALLLED ALOT OF SUSPENSION TO IMPROVE OFF ROAD HANDLING ETC
10) NO LOCK ON GASOLINE DOOR CURRENTLY. AND KEY ONLY STARTS TRUCK DOES NOT OPEN DOOR.. THE REASON FOR THIS IS I HAD LOANED THE TRUCK ONE DAY TO A FRIEND WHO SOMEHOW BROKE THE ORIGINAL KEY OFF IN THE IGNITION. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BROKEN PIECE OUT OF THE IGNITION AND HAVE A NEW KEY MADE... THE NEW KEY COULDNT ALSO OPEN THE DOORS FOR SOME REASON..PROBABLY THE NEW KEYS NEEDS A LITTLE MORE FILING TO DO OR SIMPLY ONE CAN REMOVE ON OF THE DOOR LOCKS AND HAVE A SEPERATE KEY MADE FOR IT..
11) HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONER.. NEVER USED IT SINCE I OWNED IT AS IM NOT A FAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT.. DEFINTELY DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR i CAN TELL YOU THAT
ALL IN ALL WHILE THE TRUCK DRIVES AND I HAVE USED IT FROM TIME TO TIME i AM NOT GOING TO ACT LIKE YOU CAN JUST WIN THIS AUCTION AND EXPECT TO DRIVE IT ANY DISTANCE.. i WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND THIS AND UNLESS YOU ARE SOMEWHAT LOCAL TRUCK SHOULD BE TOWED OR IF THE BIDDING REACHES $4000 I WILL PAY FOR GETTING THE WHEEL CYLINDERS AND OIL CHANGE BEFORE IT IS PICKED UP
QUITE A LIST PERHAPS AND AGAIN THE TRUCK IS BEING SOLD AS IS..BUT I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO EXPLAIN WHAT I KNOW BUT AFTER ALL THIS IS A TRUCK THAT IS NOW 35 YEARS OLD SO DONT THINK YOU ARE BUYING SOMETHING THAT WILL NOT NEED NURTURED...
HOWEVER I CANT TELL YOU HOW NOT ONLY HOW ITS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO KILL A TOYOTA ( SEE YOU TUBE HOW TO KILL A TOYOTA) BUT ALSO ALSO HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE REMARKED ABOUT HOW NICE MY TRUCK WAS OVER THE YEARS TO THE POINT OF ASKEING IF IT WAS FOR SALE. REGARDLESS OF THAT AND THE WORK IT NEED NOW I HONESTLY DO BELIEVE THIS IS A PERFECT TRUCK FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A NON RUST BODY WITH SOME RARE FACTORY BELL AND WHISTLES... THIS FACT MAKES THE CAR WORTHWHILE AS IT COULD LAST ANOTHER 30 YEARS IF SOMEONE PUTS THE TIME INTO ADDRESSING ITS UPKEEP NEEDS. THIS CAR IS FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A VINTAGE TOYOTA PICK UP AND DONT WANT TO BE CONCEREND WITH TEH FLOOR FALLING OUT OR THE BODY RUSTING AWAY. YOU BE THE JUDGE BUT I WOULD LOVE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING TO DO A NUMBER ON THIS TRUCK AND MAKE IT INTO EVERYTHING AND MORE THAT I EVER DREAMED OF
UP TO YOU AND THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY BABY..WHILE ITS IS MY THIRD TOYOTA PICK UP OVER THE YEARS I WILL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO
PLEASE NOTE AS I AM GOING TO MY NEPHEWS WEDDING IN CALIFORNIA AT BEGINNING OF MONTH THIS TRUCK MUST BE PAID FOR AND PICKED UP PRETTY MUCH WITHIN A WEEK OF AUCTION ENDING
ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK..GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDS

Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...

Toyota first launched Lexus in the United States back in 1989, but it wasn't until 2005 that it brought the luxury marque home to roost. But don't think that Toyota didn't find a way of selling many of its premium models in the Japanese Domestic Market in the meantime. The Lexus LS was sold as the Toyota Celsion, the ES as the Vista and Camry Prominent, and the SC as the Soarer. (We could go on, but you get the point.)
These days Lexus sells in markets around the world, including Japan, but Toyota still spins off its own versions of Lexus models to sell domestically as well. Like the new Sai, for example. Sharing its platform, hybrid propulsion and much more with the Lexus HS (which you may remember as the world's first dedicated luxury hybrid until it was pulled from the market early last year), the Sai was introduced to Japan at the same time as the HS was rolled out around the world. Now nearly four years on the market, Toyota has given it a bit of a refresh.
Boasting a far more aggressive front end and a restyled rear, the revised Sai features LED headlights, 16-inch alloys and a higher-quality interior in which JDM buyers will find a new center console and trim, along with an optional 10-speaker infotainment system. Toyota also boasts that the new Sai is made of 20-percent Ecological Plastic and recycled resin.

There's a new season of motor racing upon us, and while that doesn't always mean a new crop of cars in every series, in the case of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship, that's exactly what it means. Porsche recently revealed its new 919 Hybrid and Audi its revised R18 E-Tron Quattro. Now it's Toyota's turn.
Revealed today at the Paul Ricard test track in the South of France, the new TS040 Hybrid is based on the TS030 Hybrid it replaces, redesigned to meet the latest regulations established by the FIA and ACO for the World Endurance Championship and its flagship race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In accordance with said regulations, the TS040 is two inches narrower than the TS030 and also incorporates a new hybrid powertrain.
The previous 3.4-liter V8 has been replaced by a 3.7-liter V8 developing 513 horsepower, and the new engine is coupled to an Aisin AW electric motor at the front, a Denso electric motor at the rear and a Nisshinbo super-capacitor that combine to kick out an extra 473 hp, giving the system a combined output of nearly 1,000 horsepower while consuming 25 percent less fuel than last year's car. It also gives the TS040 all-wheel drive to help channel all that power to the road.
