This 4Runner is all original, including paint, interior, and chasis. I am the second owner and it has always been a California registered vehicle, so any rust issues are minimal and light. No rust on body anywhere. It has been garaged almost since new and the original paint has been professionally guaged, rated almost like new. Tires are new. I had an upgraded alarm system installed when I bought the vehicle and also had the center padded console cover professionally recovered in leather; just like new. I also had the front headliner replaced because a seam was split. In other words, I wanted this 4runner to be as good as possible in appearance. It's a true 4x4, first generation 4Runner and I think it's one of the best original 4Runners out there. I checked the 4x4 wheel locks and they work fine and the 4x4 feature works very well. The 6 cylinder engine starts up quick, runs well, and doesn't miss. It passed California smog with flying colors just a couple of months ago. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly with no jerks or slips. It looks to me like the removeable fiberglass top has never been removed, but I can't guarantee that. Heater and AC work fine. The radio is the original one and works, but the volume knob creates static until you find the right volume. I didn't check the cassette player. The previous owner added a nice set of fog lights, a custom chrome brush bumper, and cruise control.  I installed a new battery just last month, and it has a three year guarantee on it. All windows roll up and down smoothly and completely. The rear power window operates perfectly and the drop down tailgate opens and closes just like new. The shocks were replaced at one time, but I have to say that this truck-like frame is rough on the bumps. It might need new shocks or perhaps other work to smooth out the ride. On the road, it drives smooth, straight, and well controlled. Only the bumps are noticable to me. As a side note, I had this exact model 4Runner a few years ago and took it up to 240,000 miles before replacing the engine and selling the vehicle in order to buy a new pickup truck. If this 4runner does the same, it represents a great value for someone. Please note, some of the decals have parking dings and fading. There is one small ding on the left fender well, and these points are in some of the photos posted here on Ebay. This vehicle has never been wrecked and I have some maintenance records that go with it. Also, I have the original owner's manual and two sets of keys with alarm fobs on them.  Please email me with any questions and I'll be glad to get the answers to you if I can. I will cooperate with your shipper of choice. Vehicle is sold as is, where is, with no guarantee. Just a few months ago, it was safety and mechanically checked by a dealer before I bought it so I believe it's in fine condition overall.

New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.

Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.
