This is a great car that was originally purchased by my father in 1989.  Last year he decided to take the plunge and get a new car (only took him 24 years) and he gave this car to me. I used it traveling to work and have never had any issues with it.  It runs great, but I'm thinking it may be time soon for a muffler.  As the main driver, I have not witnessed or observed any mechanical problems with this vehicle (aside from the mentioned muffler). The car runs pretty smoothly and I've enjoyed having it, but I decided to upgrade to a new vehicle and now I have no use for this one.  With my dad's blessing, he's letting me sell it to help offset the cost of my new vehicle. 

I'm including pictures so you can have a good look at what you're bidding on.  I've also pictured the odometer, because it's pretty incredible that the mileage is this low for a car of 25 years.  It passed it's final emissions testing when the registration was renewed, and I was told that (in Washington State) no further emissions tests would be required because the vehicle is now considered a "classic." 

My father takes great care of all of his vehicles, and he's maintained the vehicle pretty well.  The care is dent free because it's been in zero accidents and the paint on it is in fair shape, showing some age and a few rough areas. I took pictures of all four sides, so you can magnify them if needed. The windows look pretty good for their age, but the driver's side window has some minor scratches (looks like a bad snow scraper got it one year.) This car comes from a smoke free environment (no one in my family smokes.) This vehicle is being sold "as is."  I have a 100% rating on Ebay and that includes having sold one other vehicle in the past to a very satisfied seller.

I'd prefer to sell locally, but if you're willing to arrange all shipping, you are more than welcome to have it shipped to your location. I've never shipped a vehicle, so I'd prefer the buyer to make all arrangements.  I have the Vehicle Certificate of Title that I will sign once the sale is complete. The title is clean and clear and has my name registered as the owner. 

If you have any specific questions, I'll attempt to answer them. Honestly, I know little about this particular model, so I'm hoping pictures say a 1000 words or more.

These are the 10 longest-lasting vehicles on the road today

Tue, Nov 29 2022

Buying a car has started feeling pretty bad. It’s hard to find what you want, and when you do, thereÂ’s a great chance itÂ’s not selling for the price you thought it would be. The least stressful way of coping with the situation is not to buy a new car, but how can you know how long your current ride will last? A recent study from iSeeCars found that some vehicles are prone to deliver many more miles of usable driving than others. iSeeCars looked at more than 2 million cars. The mileage over which the top 1% of cars within each model obtained was calculated and used to rank models, and the study required that a vehicle be sold for at least 10 of the past 20 years to be included. Unsurprisingly, Toyota dominated the top-10 list, but most of the other models come from General Motors with one Honda thrown into the mix. Ranked by mileage, the top-ten longest-lasting vehicles include: Toyota Highlander Hybrid: 244,94 miles Toyota Avalon: 245,710 miles Honda Ridgeline: 248,669 miles Chevrolet Tahoe: 250,338 miles Toyota Prius: 250,601 miles GMC Yukon XL: 252,360 miles Toyota Tundra: 256,022 miles Chevrolet Suburban: 265,732 miles Toyota Land Cruiser: 280,236 miles Toyota Sequoia: 295,509 miles The iSeeCars study found that SUVs and trucks occupy 75 percent of the top 20 vehicles with the potential to last the longest, and Toyota alone accounts for half of the top 20. Interestingly, the Prius and Highlander Hybrid made the list, suggesting that automakers are getting better at making batteries last a long time. "What we see is a list of highly-durable vehicles, capable of more than a quarter-million miles of use if properly maintained," said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. "And to be clear, this study isnÂ’t reporting the maximum lifespan of these vehicles. This is simply a measure of current odometer readings. Most of these cars are still in use and going strong." Of course, the longevity of a vehicle has a lot to do with how itÂ’s treated and maintained over its lifetime. ItÂ’s easy to find stories of people nursing Toyota Tundras and other vehicles past a million miles, and thereÂ’s a 1960s Volvo with more than 3 million miles. Some vehicle types, particularly the largest SUVs, are often used as road-trip vehicles by large families, which means they tend to rack up big mileage. In most cases, buying and owning a higher-mileage car can be a risk, so itÂ’s essential to get a pre-purchase inspection or regular maintenance if you already own one.

Santa swaps his sleigh for a Ferrari-powered Toyota

Fri, Dec 23 2016

A Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 is sure to garner a bit of attention, as well it should. We've been paying attention throughout this build, so it should be no surprise then that Santa did as well. He's ditched his red sleigh for the Gumout GT4586 in this video. If you've been following along, you know that Ryan Tuerck and Gumout built this completely bonkers machine that's far more exciting than some previous Japanese/Italian mash-up automobiles. Donut Media has been doing their part to document and promote every stage of the process. This new video is filled with the gratuitous amounts of lights, noise, and tire smoke that Donut is known for. We don't know the conversion from horsepower to reindeerpower, but the GT4586 should provide plenty of oomph for Santa's Christmas trek.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead

Wed, 13 Feb 2013


Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
