Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
This posting is for a beige on tan 1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. truck has 263,000 miles on it. (miles may go up between now and sale, I do still drive it on a non-regular basis). Good: * fresh timing belt service with water pump, three idler wheels and hydraulic tensioner (OEM belt) * new correct DENSO plugs * newer steering rack (09) * 4WD works great * engine starts up every time, no odd noises or issues. perfect engine * transmission is smooth and quiet. no grinds or issues. * transfer case is good. no issues, noises or odd behavior * the Yokohama Geolandar tires are in great shape and have 75+% tread * the truck gets about 17mpg combined. not bad for what it is. 21-23 highway 14-15 city. * high-end Alpine stereo with iPod plug, upgraded speakers. * power sunroof * power rear hatch glass (whole hatch was replaced last winter with much nicer one from a 98 SR5.) * newer exhaust muffler * 1 1/4 ” reciever hitch w/ powered tail light converter harness (4 pin) * WeatherTech® floor liners in the front. best thing ever for a Minnesota vehicle. they’re great. the things that aren’t perfect: * the rocker panels are pretty rusty * the valve cover gaskets leak a little oil (under a half quart between changes) * one of the two front CV axle boots is starting to age. not cracked yet, but within a couple of years, it’ll need a new boot on it. again, overall it is a GREAT truck. only reason I am selling it is I picked up a 5 speed BMW X5 out of the blue. had that not showed up, I would happily drive this 4runner all day every day. It is not perfect, being an 18 year old Minnesota truck, but all things considered, it is in nice shape and great mechanically. |

BMW-Toyota joint sports car project is on like Donkey Kong
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's official - there will be a jointly developed sports car from BMW and Toyota. While the two auto giants signed a Memorandum of Understanding that pledged to pursue "joint development of architecture and components for a future sports vehicle" back in June of 2012, in the interim, it has remained unclear how those plans had been progressing. BMW has finally officially confirmed that the German and Japanese manufacturers will be codeveloping a pair of sports cars in addition to pursuing other disciplines including fuel cell systems and lightweight technologies.
"We have agreed on a joint architecture for a sports car. What is important is that there will be two different vehicles that are authentic to the two brands," BMW Development Chief Herbert Diess told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reuters is reporting. This is a very, very big step for both brands, but now the speculation can officially begin as to what the products of this agreement will look like.
There's ample reason to believe that the BMW-Toyota tie up will result in a Supra successor based on comments made by the chief engineer of the GT86/FR-S program, Tatsuya Tada, back in August. Follow that with a rumor from earlier this month that Toyota could debut a Supra concept car at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show later this month, and we could be seeing the fruits of this partnership sooner rather than later.
Toyota nearing $1B settlement of unintended acceleration criminal probe
Sun, 09 Feb 2014According to those all-too-nebulous "people familiar with the matter," Toyota is close to a settlement with the US federal government to end a criminal probe over its long-running unintended acceleration fiasco. Though Toyota has never admitted guilt, the deal could reportedly crest a billion dollars and would likely include a criminal deferred prosecution agreement, and while we're not legal experts, The Wall Street Journal explains that such a deal would "[force Toyota] to accept responsibility while avoiding the potentially crippling consequences of federal criminal convictions."
The report from WSJ also suggests that Toyota is facing charges that it "made false or incomplete disclosures" to various government agencies regarding possible defects to its cars. Such charges may include mail and wire fraud violations. Toyota has already paid out fines totaling $66.2 million to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because it failed to report safety defects in a timely manner.
This deal with the federal government is not related to the billion-dollar class-action settlement reached with Toyota owners over falling vehicle values, and it's also different from the roughly 400 lawsuits still in courts alleging personal injury of wrongful death due to cases of unintended acceleration. In other words, don't expect to hear the end of such courtroom verdicts and settlements anytime soon...
