This car is in excellent condition. I bought it from the second owner, who bought it from a co-worker at PG&E. It has been garaged and parked covered almost it's entire life, and the condition of the paint and trim and weatherstripping shows it. The current mileage is 73,119.
I bought this car with plans of making it a sort of cruiser. Yeah, I wish it was a GTS or at least a manual transmission car too, but it is so clean that I thought it would be perfect just to find some japanese bumpers and lower the car slightly to make just a cool cruiser. The auto is a nice overdrive 4 speed, so it gets around great. Unfortunately now, things are happening in my life and I need to get down to the bare essentials, so this near collector grade car has to go before I could really get started on it. The lady I bought it from had lost her license and couldn't see too well. She bumped the front drivers side headlight cover in a parking lot, and was also responsible for the dent on the passenger side rear fender. What actually saved the car was the fuel pump, which I believe committed suicide in order to save the rest of the car. When I bought the car the lady's caretaker said "it has some sort of fuel problem" and he was right. I replaced the fuel pump with a factory Toyota kyosan unit and it has been running perfectly ever since. The only other work that has ever been to the car besides regular oil changes is the replacement of the drivers headlight cover and the sunroof. These were painted to match the car by a local body shop and, while they look decent, are not a perfect match. I don't think most people would notice, but I know what I'm looking for, and I can't honestly say the job was done perfectly. If I had more time I would have these repainted again, but because of life circumstances these are going to be left to the next owner. The only other damage on the car is a tear in the front bumper from the same event that dented the headlight cover. Fortunately the fender and hood were not effected in any way and remain totally original. The paint is bright and shiny everywhere with only extremely minor door dings and scratches resulting from normal careful use. The car is virtually rust free, with a little bit of rust on the underside of the hood where water accumulates in the support bracket or something like that. The sunroof was rusted, as they all are. This is a result of the toyotas seal design and the 2 ply construction of the panel. Basically, a steel sandwhich winds up being permanently submerged in water which ends with a rusty panel even in a car that was garage kept. The roof itself is perfect, and the sunroof was replaced with a fiberglass unit that looks stock, weighs a lot less, and won't rust again. All in all this is an exceptionally clean AE86 in one of the best color combinations ever offered for these. Feel free to contact me for more photos or with any questions or if you would like to inspect the car before bidding. Of course the car is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied, I encourage anyone interested to take a look at the car and see how nice it is for yourself. Buyer is responsible for the arrangement of freight. Please remember that a bid on this auction is a contractual obligation to purchase. Thanks a lot guys! |

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Heavily updated 2015 Toyota Camry to bow in New York
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Looks like the new, "more emotional" Toyota Camry designer Kevin Hunter talked about back in January is going to arrive very soon, with news that Toyota's bread-and-butter sedan will be getting an update in just a few weeks time at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
"On April 16 at the New York International Auto Show, we will make an important announcement about America's best-selling car, the Toyota Camry," said Curt McAllister, Toyota product news manager, in an emailed statement. Considering the high-profile nature of the NYAS - not to mention the competition that will be shown there - it makes sense that Toyota would choose to unveil something as significant as a major refresh at the Javits Center.
We wish we had more to tell you than this, but unfortunately, that's about all we've got to go on at this time. Of course, we'll have much more for you during the lead up to NYAS, including any leaks of the refreshed Camry. Stay tuned.
Refreshed 2013 Toyota Landcruiser Prado gets official [w/video]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We'd seen leaked images of the the refreshed 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, now Toyota has deemed it officially ready for the European masses it is aimed at. We can only hope the masses are ready for that grille, probably the most intense of the many changes made to the volcano-eating truck. The new face and its "powerfully projecting vertical bars" were designed to "accentuate the new Toyota's rugged appearance," as if the legendarily capable SUV wasn't rugged enough. Other changes include redesigned headlight clusters, stronger character lines along the sides, new taillights and license plate "garnish" in back, and a slew of new wheel choices. Both the three- and five-door are 20 millimeters longer, all of that in the front overhang, but the approach angle apparently hasn't changed.
The new organization of trims runs from Entry to Legend, Prestige and Executive. The interior has been reorganized with better seats in the second and third rows, a new upper center console, a redesigned panel for controlling on- and off-road driving functions, reworked Optitron meters with a 4.2-inch LCD screen, and new switchgear, fabrics and color schemes. Infotainment has been upgraded with Toyota Touch 2 and Toyota Touch 2 with Go. They mirror your smartphone if said phone happens to be either a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2.
On-road driving dynamics have been improve with suspension changes, and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert added to the suite of safety features for maneuvering the beast. When it comes to the Land Cruiser's real reason for being, the five Multi-terrain Select choices and five-step Crawl Control are more easily used with a Multi-terrain Monitor reworked for more clarity.
