1990 Toyota 4runner Sr5 Sport Utility 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
I purchased this truck in October 2013, and used it while I was living in Tahoe. The 4WD performs great in the snow, allowing for on-the-fly
shifting when road conditions change. Selling because I moved back to the city. Previous owner had it for less than a year as well, but he bought it from his friend who took great care of it for 11 years. Before that, there was only one other owner. The service records are appropriate for the age of the vehicle, and lots of major work has been done in the past 5 years..clutch, radiator, timing belt, valve work, etc. Brake pads on the front are brand new. Registration paid through January 2015 Pros: -Very reliable...starts every time -Bluetooth/CD stereo wired to mic on driver's visor and iPhone/USB plugs -A/C and heat are both good, with rear heat control in the back seat -Looks great Cons: -Burns approx. 1/3 qt. oil per tank of gas -Failed smog test, turns out it's a gross polluter, or more than 2x acceptable HC limit...plus over CO limit as well. (This makes it eligible for a $1000-1500 California buy-back program...keep this in mind when submitting best offers.) I talked to the smog tech about the test history, and he said it failed first in 2009, 2010, then passed in 2010 and 2011, then again in September 2013 right before I bought it. He theorized that the repairs done in 2010 were not sufficient, and mentioned that a vacuum leak or faulty catalytic converter as possible issues. -CV joint makes noise on hard turns or Uturns, but is fully functional -Speedometer makes whirring noise when driven in cold weather without warm-up, but is fully functional It's a shame to retire this truck...seems a great candidate for rebuild, or for someone who wants to drive her a state with no emissions test. If not, I'll enter the California repair assistance program, so that I can diagnose the problem. Available for test drives in San Francisco, CA. Free delivery may be possible to some parts of Bay Area, please contact me to confirm. If purchase price is above $2500, I'll include Infinity subwoofer (see picture) and amp already wired in the back..if it's below $2500 and you still want it, I'll sell them for $150 on top of purchase price. A deposit (10% of Buy It Now price) must be paid through Paypal no later than 24 hours after purchase. The balance must be paid in cash within 3 days of purchase. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thanks for reading, and don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. |

2014 Toyota Tundra appears with revised styling, same mechanicals
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.
The most obvious revision for 2014 is to the bluff front fascia of the truck. There's a new, taller squared-off grille decorating the Tundra's nose, along with a revised, three-part front bumper design. The optional black grille-frame strikes us as an acquired taste, to say the least, but other models, like the Limited above, is all clad in chrome. Fenders and wheel wells are more square than in the out-going truck, too. Perhaps most significant is the revised bed design, which Toyota calls "all-new," with new sheet metal on the sides, a revised tailgate and a very subtle integrated spoiler.
Inside, Toyota has given buyers some new seats and a new-look instrument panel. A backup camera (always handy on big trucks) is now standard equipment on all grades, as is Bluetooth connectivity. Blind spot monitoring is a new, optional feature as well. In all, as with the exterior mods, the changes in-cabin are far more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Toyota Matrix discontinued for 2014
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Between its slow sales and the upcoming redesign of the closely related Corolla sedan, things haven't been looking good for the Toyota Matrix (for some time now). After 10 years on the market, Toyota has officially announced that it will drop the Matrix from its US lineup following the 2013 model year.
The announcement was made as a part of a press release breaking down what's new for Toyota in 2014, but for now, it doesn't look like any Toyota-branded product will fill the Matrix's spot. The Matrix and its sister car, the defunct Pontiac Vibe, were the final vehicles developed under the joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, an arrangement launched back to 1984.
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
