1989 Toyota 4-runner First Generation Low Milage (silver W/black Top) on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:123200
Location:

Denver, Colorado, United States

Denver, Colorado, United States

Rare, low milage (124,XXX), original everything, 1989 first generation 4 Runner.  V6 SR5 EFI.  Silver w/Black roof.  (Top has never been taken off).  Right now there are no other 1989 first generations being offered on Craigslist OR Ebay!  There are just a couple first generations of any year, a couple in original form. And when they do come up, they will not be nearly as nice as this one, or have the amount of recent maintenance. 

We had it shipped to us knowing of a valve cover leak, which made the undercarriage quite messy looking at first.  The seal has been replaced, along with two cam cap seals, where the leak was really coming from.  Because we wanted this as our daily driver, we did all of the necessary maintenance the former owner didn’t get to.  Water pump replaced, new power steering pump installed, rear brakes done, new front locking hubs installed, shifter grommet replaced, radiator flushed, oil changed and tune up with new plugs, transmission fluid drained and filled, transmission serviced, and new air filter.  Tires still have lots of tread on them.

It is original, but not perfect.  It is in the type of shape a vehicle made in 1989 should be in: paint has faded a bit on top, a bit on the hood, etc.  The dash, like every single one of these, has a couple of cracks, but not nearly as bad as I’ve seen.  Other than that, it is in really good shape. 

The story … of how it came to us and why we must part with it:

We bought this less than a year ago from the original owner, who kept it south of the bay area in California.  It had a out lived its use for him as a family car “to go to the store in.”  We bought it for my wife’s dream of “a first generation 4-Runner sailing through the breeze with the top off.”  She has a new dream of camping without needing a tent, and we just bought a 2003 Eurovan, much more practical for us and our three year-old (and our new 90lb. dog!).  

Happy bidding!

Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.

400-hp Toyota Hybrid-R Concept gets second teaser

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Toyota has released a second teaser of its Hybrid-R Concept, along with an estimation of the show car's power output. Using technology that's "similar to that used by Toyota Racing's TS030 Hybrid race car," the concept is expected to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The press release also mentions that the new concept is based on a current production model. While it's difficult to tell from the sole teaser image of the car's body, rumors are flying that it's related to the Yaris. If that's the case, though, it's difficult to know what to make of this concept. The teaser image is quite dark, but we played around with the exposure and came up with an image that reveals more details about the new concept. Take a look at the related gallery, below, to see the high-exposure image. We'll find out for certain what the Hybrid-R is in a few weeks at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Let us know what you think Toyota's newest concept is in the comments.

Toyota recalling 10k vehicles to fix wiper switches

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall covering approximately 10,000 cars in the United States. Affected models include the 2013-14 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2013-14 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid, and the brand new 2014 Corolla.
The problem, as Toyota explains it, is that, "During manufacture of the wiper switch assembly in the involved vehicles, certain contacts on the switch terminal could have been manufactured incorrectly." This could lead to a short in the circuit when the wiper switch is moved between "off" and "mist," and thus, cause the windshield wipers to stop working. Not good.
Toyota will contact owners via first class mail, and the vehicles can be repaired at dealerships, free of charge. Have a look below for the automaker's official statement.
