United States
|
UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1992 LAND CRUISER WITH ONLY 84,500 MILES. THIS VEHICLE SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE AS A VACATION HOME VEHICLE WHERE IT RECEIVED ALL OF IT'S REGULAR SERVICE AND WAS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE. THE NEXT OWNER WAS MY BEST FRIEND WHO ONLY SOLD IT TO ME BECAUSE HE BOUGHT AN OLDER LAND CRUISER THAT HE CONVERTED TO BIO DIESEL. SO HERE I AM, THE PROUD OWER OF THIS GREAT SUV. THE ONLY REASON I'M SELLING THIS IS BECAUSE I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE AND MY WIFE AND I NEED THE MONEY TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE. I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN TOYOTAS AND I USE THE BEST TOYOTA TECH IN THE STATE TO SERVICE MY VEHICLES (MCINTOSH IMPORTS IN MT. PLEASANT, SC). HE WENT THROUGH MY LAND CRUISER AND SAID IT DOESN'T NEED A THING. I TRUST THIS GUY SO MUCH THAT I DRIVE 2 HRS TO HIS SHOP WHEN I NEED SOMETHING DONE. HE'S SO HONEST YOU COULD PLAY POKER WITH HIM ON THE PHONE.
HERE IS WHAT WAS ALREADY DONE TO IT: -NEW OEM SHOCKS -COMPLETE FRONT AXLE REBUILD -BY A LAND CRUISER TECH (ALL OLDER LAND CRUISERS NEED THIS DONE) -NEW FUEL FILLER PIPE -DONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH -NEW PREMIUM STEREO, SPEAKERS, AND AMPLIFIER ADDED -WORK DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL AUDIO SHOP -A/C CONVERSION TO R134 -DONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH -BRAKE SYSTEM REDONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH. I WOULD LITERALLY DRIVE THIS THING ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. IT RUNS/DRIVES EXCELLENT AND HAS NO MECHANICAL ISSUES. EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND I DON'T THINK YOU WILL EVER FIND A NICER CRUISER WITH THIS LOW MILAGE. THE INTERIOR IS PRETTY MUCH SPOTLESS. THERE ARE NO STAINS IN THE UPHOLSTERY AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN SMOKED IN. THERE IS ONE SMALL SEPARATION OF FARBIC AT A SEEM ON THE DOOR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. IT'S AN EASY FIX AND IS ONLY THE SIZE OF A NICKEL. THE FLOOR CARPET IS SPOTLESS. YOU CAN EASILY SEE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THE ONLY THING THIS VEHICLE NEEDS IS A NEW PAINT JOB. DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT DOESN'T LOOK TERRIBLE, BUT IT'S A 22 YEAR OLD PAINT JOB. IT'S NOT BAD ENOUGH TO EMBARRASS YOUR KIDS IF YOU DRIVE THEM TO SCHOOL IN IT BUT IT'S THE ONLY THING KEEPING IT FROM BEING AN ABSOLUTE "10". IF I END UP KEEPING IT I WILL PAINT IT SOMETIME IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS. THERE ARE NO DENTS OR BODY ISSUES. THE FRAME IS RUST FREE. THIS IS THE MODEL WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK BUTTON ON THE DASH (E-LOCKER) THAT IS VERY DESIRABLE ON THESE VEHICLES. TIRES HAVE APPROX 70% OF THEIR TREAD REMAINING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ME AT 803-944-0776 MILEAGE WILL CHANGE AS I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE APPROX 1 DAY PER WEEK. I STARTED OF THE BID PRETTY LOW AND THERE IS NO RESERVE! BID AWAY!

NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action
Mon, 20 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.
Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
Toyota reaffirms commitment to body-on-frame SUVs
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Toyota sold 121,055 Highlander CUVs in 2012, according to Automotive News. By comparison, it sold 78,457 examples of four different body-on-frame, truck-based SUVs (4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia and Land Cruiser). One could argue then, that the traditional SUVs aren't pulling their weight from a sales perspective. Yet that isn't stopping Toyota from reaffirming its commitment to a segment that has seen its former champions - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler - abandon it with alarming speed. Ford and GM still offer body-on frame utilities, but only in the very largest offerings, catering to seven or even eight passengers. Everything outside of the Expedition or Tahoe rides now on a unibody.
Toyota's decision to stick with the technology is good news if you're in the market for smaller SUVs that are still capable of heading well off the beaten path. Outside of the Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee (a unibody) and perhaps Nissan Xterra, there's not much in terms of capable SUVs between $20,000 and $50,000. As the Toyota brand's US head, Bill Fay, says, "Clearly, the trend has shifted, but there is still an owner base that is interested in these vehicles."
We don't doubt Fay on that, but it may also be somewhat telling that Toyota's SUV lineup is aging, and we haven't seen or heard much about replacement models in the pipeline. Admittedly, the 4Runner (pictured) has been facelifted for 2014, but it's mostly cosmetic in nature. Despite Toyota's posturing, we still expect its body-on-frame lineup to thin in the coming years as sales dwindle and escalating fuel-economy standards make business cases even tougher. Here's hoping that Toyota manages to keep at least one rough-and-tumble SUV in its lineup in the coming years.
