1997 Toyota Landcruiser AWD SUV. I am the second owner (it was sold by a Knoxville Physician to a car dealer I know and I immediately turned and purchased from him - to it is listed as 3 owners, but I am in the real sense the second household this car has been in) and this has been my daily driver for 6 years. Has 227,100 miles, leather interior seating for 7 including the rear cargo area fold-up seats. Am/fm/cd with ipod interface, sunroof, ac, heat and rear heat, power windows and locks, tilt, Class 3 hitch (It pulls our 3500 pound wakeboard boat easily). Replaced radiator and battery last year. Michelin X-ice tires are 70-80%. Has never been in major wreck or had frame or panel damage. Rear right bumper was hit before I bought and repaired. I have had to touch up the exterior paint in places over time and those touch up places have faded some so that needs to be done again IF you wanted it to look near perfect - but at any distance, you do not see even those - no rust, all body panels are solid - Interior is very clean - only issue is the front leather finish is wearing off in places - the leather itself is in good order - no rips, tears. Carpet has no rips or tears or holes, anywhere - no major or unsightly stains. Small bulb which illuminates the AC power control is out, power controls still work, just need the bulb replaced behind if you wish to see the power level buttons at night. This never bothered me enough to fix. Mechanically, has been very sound over the years - almost always garaged - Uses some oil on higher speed interestate type driving over hours of driving - This takes 4 or so hours of high speed travel to notice any oil use. Also, does have a small oil drip (one drop a night or so). Again, this never bothered me enought to fix it and it doesn't leak enough to have to adjust fluid levels. Overall, for the age this is a reliable, well maintained car. I have not seen one personally from this age in better condition. I have been on the fence for months about selling it as I have a newer Landcruiser now and am just having a hard time parting with this one. Feel free to ask me any questions. Reserve is set well below NADA retail (and I am using the correct mileage adjustment), and vehicle is up for sale locally so auction can be cancelled upon local sale.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
Toyota asking NHTSA for waiver on 206K vehicles
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Toyota has filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asking for a waiver to avoid recalling about 206,271 2012-2014 Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Sienna, Tundra and Tacoma vehicles, some of its most popular models. The affected vehicles contain seat heaters that might not meet government flammability standards. Toyota says in the waiver that "the chance of fire or flame induced by a malfunctioning seat heater is essentially zero," according to The Detroit News. The automaker notes the part makes up less than one percent of the seat's weight.
Initial reports of the problem arose in late January when Toyota issued a stop-sale order for 2013 and 2014 model year versions of those vehicles. The automaker says that there have no been reports of fires or injuries in the affected cars, and the problem was discovered during testing by the South Korean government, according to The Detroit News.
We've reached out to Toyota for comment on this development and are awaiting a reply. We'll update this post if and when we hear back.
Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl
Fri, 18 Jul 2014An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.
