This listing is for my 1996 Toyota Tacoma. I am the original owner of this vehicle. It has 145k miles on it. It is currently in great working order.

It's never been in an accident, and the mechanical repairs over the years have been minimal. It's been dinged a few times in a parking lot a few times over the years, but nothing major.

I am selling it because I do not drive it much anymore, as I typically take my car to work. It has been primarily driven in Utah where I used to live. In 2010, I moved to Kansas where I currently live. Since that time, it hasn't been driven much other than to take it around the neighborhood or to drive it to the hardware store. In fact it hasn't been registered in Kansas even though I've lived here for almost 4 years. Shortly after we moved here, I purchased a car and have primarily driven it to and fro. Since I didn't drive it much, I never bothered to get it registered here in Kansas.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I will attempt to list everything that has happened to this truck since it was new: I have had the fuel pump replaced a couple of times - once in 2003, and again in 2007, as well as had the starter rebuilt about 10 yrs ago. But other than than, there has been no other needed mechanical repairs other than basic maintenance (tires, battery replacement, spark plugs, fluid replacement, etc.) There is a dent on the side of the bed on the passenger's side. I was hit in a parking lot about 10 years ago and never got it fixed. About 15 years ago, I was also hit in a parking lot and the original tailgate was damaged beyond repair. The current tailgate is an aftermarket product. I also never bothered to get the "TOYOTA" stenciling redone on the tailgate which is something that is standard for the 1996 model. The rear bumper was also damaged at the same time, but its damage appeared to be minimal, so I never bothered to fix it. You can see for yourself in the pictures.

It breaks my heart to sell it since I've had it for so long, but the practical side of me outweighs the emotional side of me. It just makes sense to sell it because the truck is not really adding any value by sitting there collecting dust. So, it's just time to sell it.

If you are interested in talking over the phone, please send me a note and we can arrange to talk. I will absolutely not turn over the keys or title until I have received a full payment or wire transfer that has been confirmed by my bank. Within 24 hours after the auction ends, I will require a $500 deposit. The rest will need to be paid within one week.

You are responsible to set up and pay for your own shipping arrangements. Having said that, I will attempt to be as accommodating as is reasonable, because I know it can't be too easy to ship a truck around the country.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

2014 Toyota Corolla coming Thursday, now with LED headlamps

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

Here's what we know about the redesigned 2014 Toyota Corolla: It will have "aggressive new styling" with "available seventeen-inch alloy wheels" an "available touch screen audio" system and "available LED headlights."
We know all of this because Toyota has seen fit to release a small assortment of teaser images of the 2014 Corolla, with those descriptions attached. The latest to hit the web shows LED lighting clusters, which, to Toyota's credit, don't appear to merely mimic designs already seen in the automotive world.
We should point out that the headlights do share a link to the units seen on the Furia Concept that was supposed to foreshadow the next Corolla, though the most interesting bits - namely the honeycomb inner pattern - have been chucked while the somewhat trapezoidal main units remain intact.
