Toyota reliability and plenty of room for less than you think! NO RESERVE!! If you need plenty of room and a reliable vehicle but don't have a lot of money then this is the SUV for you!

MECHANICAL

This 2002 Sequoia has high miles but I cannot overstate how well it drives.

I bought it about 2 months ago at auction and had it checked out by my mechanic the day I bought it. He installed a new timing belt kit (including pulleys, belt, etc), water pump, battery, serpentine belt, 2 oxygen sensors and front and rear brake pads and rotors. He said these were the only items he could find wrong with it. No oil or other fluid leaks. I've driven it several times a week since then and have tried to find something wrong with how it drives/runs and cannot. I would encourage you to have your mechanic check it out.

EXTERIOR

The exterior is in average condition. The paint has a few chips around the exterior but no body damage except for 2 small "slits" in the rear bumper, right above the towing hitch. They are about 2 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide. All body panels appear to be original and it even comes with running boards and spoiler. The clear coat is fading some. It stills looks good, as is, but if the buyer wanted to pay $1000 or so for a new paint job then it would look brand new. All lights, turn signals, etc have been tested and worked at that time. The only exterior item that is not currently working are the power side mirrors. I believe it is just a fuse and will try to correct, but until further notice please assume it is not working. Mirrors can be adjusted by hand, though.

INTERIOR

The interior is in good condition, except for 2 items. One of the seams in the seat of the front driver and passenger seat is coming loose. I have included a picture of both. The seats don't have any other holes or tears but they are, somewhat, faded and do show their age. Only other issue is on the 2nd row of seats- the seat belts are dirty but I am going to try to clean them. Other than these two items, the interior is free of tears, holes or large scratches. There is general wear and fading that you would expect from a 12 year old vehicle but it is definitely in good enough condition to use as is.

I have tried to describe as accurately as possible the exact condition of this vehicle. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I bought this vehicle with the plan to keep it but my wife wants something slightly smaller which is the only reason I'm selling it. I spent more on the mechanical upgrades than I normally would have so I will probably lose money on the sale but my loss is your gain. I have it listed locally so I will end the auction if it sells before the end of the auction. If not, the last bidder wins or BUY IT NOW for less than $5K. Kelley Blue Book private party sale value in FAIR condition is $5855 and GOOD condition is $6459 so, either way, the buyer is going to get a great deal.

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.

Toyota produces millionth truck in Texas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

After going online in 2006, Toyota's San Antonio, Texas truck plant has just built its one-millionth vehicle, the 2014 Tundra 1794 Edition you see above. The plant originally focused on just the Tundra pickup, but the smaller Tacoma started rolling off the line there in 2010, as well.
Fittingly, the 1794 Edition (a new premium trim level for 2014) pays homage to the property on which the Toyota plant now resides - a ranch that was founded in 1794. Scroll down for the official press release for the plant's milestone, and be sure to check out the full gallery of Tundra 1794 Edition images as well.

This 1,000-horsepower, rear-drive Toyota Corolla iM could be yours

Tue, Feb 19 2019

We were amazed last year when we learned that Papadakis Racing built Fredric Aasbo a rear-drive, 1,000-horsepower 2017 Toyota Corolla iM for drifting. Now we're amazed that the car could end up in the hands of an average person, because the car is currently going for auction on Bring A Trailer. Just as a quick recap for those that might have missed hearing about the car last year, the little Toyota hatch features a turbocharged and nitrous-injected 2.7-liter 2AR-series Toyota four-cylinder. Variants of that engine are found in older Toyota RAV4s and Camrys. According to Bring A Trailer, the engine hits 1,000 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque when running on E85. Power goes through a four-speed dog box manual transmission to the rear wheels. Now there is the question of what you would do with such a mad machine. One possibility is to run it again in the Formula Drift series the car was built for. Bring A Trailer reports that it should be legal for the 2019 season, and with extra parts and wheels, you would be in a good spot to get started. The seller does note that all the graphics and sponsor decals would have to be removed if it's entered again. Even if you didn't run it in a professional drift series, it would probably be a fun car to use in more grassroots drift events or even just as a track car of some sort. There's also one more potential option that would be totally absurd. You see, it appears Papdakis Racing started with a factory-built, street legal Corolla iM that could have easily gone on to see a life of ferrying a young couple or family around in efficient, affordable style. As such, it should have a VIN that could be used to register and insure the car without too much trouble. It even still has functional lights. As long as you're in a state that doesn't have modification or emissions restrictions, it could be possible to make this a street car. Now we're not positive on this, so do your due diligence before plunking down cash for it, but it does seem possible, and it would be crazy and awesome. Related Video:
