**READ THIS** DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO PAY!!! The previous winner has been reported to eBay, but has already cost me $50 for listing the truck. If you win the auction and don't pay, you will be reported to eBay for a non paying bidder, which will effect your bidding capabilities in the future. In short, make sure you have your money together in a timely fashion and don't waste my time or interfere with a bidder who may actually want to buy the truck.
Exterior: The body of this truck is in average condition for a Land Cruiser. It does have rust on the bottom and underside of the truck. Please note that this vehicle has spent most of its life in Indiana and is subject to harsh winters. Most Land Cruisers have rust, so this should be no shock to a buyer. As far as I could tell, There is no rust on the roof or tailgate (These are other usual Land Cruiser rust spots). Some of the rust has been repaired/prevented by a previous owner. From 10-15 feet away, the truck looks pretty good for the age. It's still certainly a head turner, especially in the Midwest where classic Land Cruisers are VERY uncommon. The roof was recently painted with a white Plasti-Dip spray. This spray can be removed like a sticker if you do not like the look. The same can be said for the grille and front/rear bumpers. Again, it removes like a sticker causing no damage to the surface below. I had this done to customize the appearance and give it a more classic Land Cruiser look!
Interior: The interior of this truck is in good condition for the year. The dash board does have a few cracks in it. You can purchase a color matched dash cover for around $100 right here on eBay.Recently installed was a Pioneer CD player with a direct iPod control cable that will charge and connect your iPod while using it. Additionally, new front and rear speakers were installed (Kicker/Sony). The sound quality is nice!. All the glass is in good shape with no cracks. The door locks and windows work just fine (Crank windows/manual locks). The headliner is very clean and not sagging (Rare for a Land Cruiser). Also added were aftermarket Oil Pressure, Coolant Temperature, and volt meter gauges. The factory gauges work, but in my research I found that many Land Cruiser enthusiasts prefer aftermarket gauges to the OEM gauges due to the ability to get a more accurate reading from the new gauges.
Mechanical: This is one of the smoothest, quietest running vehicles I have ever owned. It idles nicely and drives smooth. From a distance, it is so quiet you can barely hear it run! The 4x4 works and the hubs lock and unlock with ease. The brakes work just fine and stops the vehicle well. I will include a set of new shoes for the winning bidder. Newer parts are a full tune up, fluid changes, carburetor sorting and tune, power steering pump, thermostat, clutch master cylinder, choke cable, CD player & speakers (As indicated above), and a new battery with tooless/quick disconnect terminals. All exterior lights work properly. I have been driving it every day and it's a nice, cool truck to drive around in. I'd trust it to drive anywhere!
Other: Before I purchased the Land Cruiser, a previous owner at some point removed some of the emissions equipment for better performance. Please note that Indiana does not have emissions testing statewide, so I cannot guarantee this would pass in your state. If you live in a state that exempts vehicles over a certain age, please check with your appropriate state office to verify. I cannot be held liable if you fail to make sure of your state's emission laws.
Title: The title for the Land Cruiser is branded as CLEAR. The title is in MY name with no liens and is completely ready to be signed over to a new owner. The winning bidder will also receive a bill of sale.
Bidding: By bidding on this auction, you agree that you have read all information in this listing and understand the condition, age, and anything mentioned in the title. I will check all bidder's feedback. If you have been known to be a non-paying bidder in the past, I will contact eBay and cancel your bid. Please only bid if you intend to purchase the Toyota. Anyone with ANY previous feedback at any point in the past will have their bids cancelled. If you have an unusually low feedback score, your bid will be cancelled unless you make contact with me prior. Also, bidders with zero feedback will have their bids cancelled unless they contact me first at audstuen@gmail.com.
Winning Bidder: By winning this auction, you agree that you have read this entire ad and agree with all terms and conditions. Within 24 hours of the auction close, you will send $500 via PayPal as a deposit. The remainder will be paid with a certified check. That check is due within 7 days of the auction close. If you fail to pay, you will be reported as a non-paying bidder. Again, if you don't intend to pay, do not bid.
Shipping: Shipping of this vehicle is the buyer's responsibility. I agree to work with the buyer and shipping company to arrange a time for the vehicle to be picked up. Please choose a shipper with a good reputation.
Other Information: All information provided is given according to the best knowledge of the seller at the time of this listing. This vehicle is a used vehicle, and is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Registration, insurance, and any additional fees in the future are the sole responsibility of the buyer. There are no refunds or returns on the vehicle.

Advertising firms have done an admirable job convincing consumers that the easiest way to find a best-in-segment car or truck is by looking at a few key metrics. In the most elementary terms, the vehicle with the highest horsepower, most gears in its transmission housing, lowest acceleration times and best fuel economy most certainly must be the class benchmark.
Yet as the commercials and billboards continue to drive that deceitful message, Toyota is betting shoppers in the subcompact segment are a bit more discerning. The Japanese automaker has just launched its updated 2015 Yaris, a three- and five-door offering that bucks the innovation and performance trends by offering what Toyota feels that entry-level buyers actually desire - reliability, practicality and a low sticker price.
It's sweltering in the tropical Hawaiian sun as I check out the deeply refreshed 2015 Yaris SE. This five-door hatchback, a range-topping version of the company's subcompact "sporty hatch" (Toyota's words, not mine), builds on the new-in-2012 generation by wearing new front and rear fascias, redesigned headlights and some attractive new wheels for the upcoming model year.

It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
