Here it is..... one of the most sought after cars ever built!! Toyotas rare 4x4 wagon with a six speed manual and a BRAND NEW REBUILT ENGINE ***** WITH WARRANTY***** The Engine was professionally installed by A-One Japanese Auto of Auburn Wa. This engine has 11 months left on a one year warranty. So, even if it drips one tiny bit of oil, if your not happy you can take it in and they will fix it!!!! This car is a rare rare rare find in this condition. The interior is so nice for a car this old its actually kinda weird ( sorry I never vacuumed when I took pic's but its clean now :) the headliner is amazing with no tears which is just strange for rigs this old and being a wagon. There are no cracks in dash or other interior parts....drivers bottom shows some wear but no holes.  Way awesome the windshield is perfect!!!  stock antenna intact, original hub cabs and wheels, original floor mats, and even the stock original tire iron and bag!  I swear this rig was left in a barn for years or something to have this type of stuff still be so nice. The car only has 181,000 miles on it.....and get this ***** NO RUST****** that screams good deal alone... finding a tercel with no rust saves thousand$$$ in time and money.     Usually these rigs are rusted through. The 4x4 works great and drives like brand new! I also installed a brand new Weber DGEV 32/36 carburetor to give it a little more kick..... new carb call s for more stuff  so  I also purchased the top of the line rotary Carter fuel pump and Weber fuel regulator to be installed that go with the new upgraded Weber carb ( you get to install this ....one hour and your done) .    90% on the tires, brakes have full life and work great. Car drives awesome and shifts great for a old rig. This rare car even comes with the original manual!! body is straight except for a small dent in rear back driver side door that can be easily pulled pushed out by removing panel.....plus it comes with the side SR5 molding to replace the one that got the sr5 smudged off.   All the hard labor intensive stuff and mind boggling detective work finding parts has been done on for this rig. Priced to sell!!!! the rebuild alone cost me $2500!!!!and this was no friends Uncle Rico that a mechanic in his garage...this was a professional outfit that specializes in rebuilds that did the work. The paint could use a real good waxing and just a few little dings here and there that is to be expected.  Glass, is perfect all around.  the Interior is 8 or 9 /10!!!   under carriage is 10/10 body 8/10....   The "To Do's"  has one little broken amber turn light that you can buy on ebay for $5.00 and that's it......  a little elbow grease on the driver window regulator...... a new thermostat ( $7.00 and one screw)..... needs a radio, and maybe some love to the muffler.  I recommend getting a RamFlo air filter and getting rid of the PCV valve ( I also added the valve breathers to do this)  Other than ONE day of tinkering its perfect!!!   I can deliver to Seattle if you need or want it shipped.  Please message me if you have any questions.  I want you to buy with confidence.


Oh...Subaru's suck!!  :)

Toyota Tells Dealers To Stop Selling Six Models

Thu, Jan 30 2014

Toyota has told North American dealers to stop selling six popular models with heated seats because the fabric doesn't meet flammability standards. One soft material beneath the seat covers does not comply with U.S. safety standards, company spokesman John Hanson said. No fires or injuries have been reported, but Toyota can't legally sell cars that don't comply with U.S. safety codes, Hanson said. The company is still totaling how many vehicles are affected, but it will be in the thousands, according to the spokesman. The stop-sale order could mean trouble for Toyota and its dealers because it covers the company's top-selling vehicles. Dealers can no longer sell certain Camry, Avalon, Sienna and Tacoma models from the 2013 and 2014 model years, as well as Corollas and Tundras from 2014. The Camry, for instance, is the top-selling car in the U.S. with more than 408,000 sales last year. It depends on how long the repairs will take. Hanson said the company already has a new material that's being installed at factories and will be put in cars that are on dealer lots. "We don't think it will take long to get the parts and make the changes," Hanson said, without getting more specific. As for vehicles already on the road, Hanson says Toyota has reported the problem to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which will decide if the sold vehicles should be recalled. A NHTSA spokesman said he would check into the matter. "We don't believe that there is a safety issue here because there have been no reports of any problems," Hanson said. The stop-sale order affects cars and trucks distributed to dealers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In addition, some vehicles were exported outside North America, Hanson said. The problem was discovered by safety regulators in South Korea, who disassembled seats and tested individual fabrics, Hanson said. U.S. safety standards require fabrics to resist flames at a certain rate, but the one fabric didn't meet the standard, Hanson said. Toyota spokesman Naoki Sumino in Japan said the affected vehicles were sold since August of 2012, when the fabric supplier was changed. Toyota has been struggling to regain its once sterling reputation for quality after announcing massive recalls over several years, starting in 2009, for a variety of defects including braking, accelerators and floor mats. The company was fined for being slow on recalls, which affected more than 14 million vehicles, and faces lawsuits.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
