See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Inside and out this is a very clean Cruiser. I bought it from the dealer who bought it from the original owner. My intention was to make an expedition vehicle out of it. I also have a LX470 which my wife is not willing to part with. Therefore I am selling the 1996 Toyota along with my 1987 Land Cruiser which I will list soon. The issues that I have noticed are as follows: the right rear door lock actuator doesn't work, there are two small dings on the rear hatch and the drivers seat moves but can hang up on occasion."

You are looking at a very clean 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser with the rare option DL (factory front and rear diff lockers which have been recently serviced and work!)  The tires are brand new General Grabber HTS's with only 15 miles on them.  I bought it from a leasing company/dealer  who bought it from the original owner. It has lived in California the entire time.  Other factory options include Alloy Wheels, Leather Trim Package, Power Tilt/Slide Glass Moonroof, Rear Wind Deflector and Burlwood Dash (DU).  This Land Cruiser starts, drives and runs great.  It easily passed California smog in May and has one new catalytic converter.  The Carfax is clean with no accidents reported.  The Carfax also shows extensive maintenance at the local Toyota dealers.  Cosmetically this car looks about as good as it gets for a 96.  I listed the small things that I have noticed need attention.  Feel free to contact me with any questions.  I will try to respond quickly and accurately.  Thank you for taking the time to read this and good luck bidding.

Why Toyota Camry's Korea Car of the Year win is a big-time upset

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The 2013 Toyota Camry is officially the car of the year in Korea. The country's motoring press graced the Japanese sedan with the honor for the first time, officially marking a shift in prevailing Korean attitudes toward Japan and its products. According to industry analysts, buyers in the country are no longer simply choosing their purchases based on whether or not they're made in South Korea, but rather based on quality and personal choice. That's a big jump from a few years ago, when buyers viewed their purchases through a patriotic lens.
The Camry managed to edge out a total of 44 other cars, including hardware from both Hyundai and Kia, to become the first foreign vehicle to take home the Korea Automobile Journalist Association's Car of the Year award. As The Detroit News points out, just 10 years ago, domestic manufacturers held some 99 percent of the Korean car market. But a change in trade regulations has opened up the country considerably, and buyers now have access to a wide range of products from around the globe. As a result, Hyundai and Kia have countered by cutting prices in an attempt to keep their grip on the market.

Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.

Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
