Hello and thank you for checking out my auction. Up for sale is my wife's 1997 Toyota Landcruiser. She has owned this Collectors Edition Landcruiser since 2001. It was an IBM owned car that was sold at the Manheim Auction when it had about 110K miles. This vehicle has been nothing short of amazing since then, and has never let us down. It is full time four wheel drive, but also has the 4 way differential locks that allow it to go almost anywhere. This landcruiser has a clear title, and has never been wrecked. A deer did jump into the side of it a few years ago and knocked off the rear fender trim, but I re-attched it with gorilla glue. Not my best work, but its held. I also backed into a mailbox last month which pushed in a place on the soft rear bumper corner and put a scratch near the tailight (see the pics). And while I am disclosing the bad, I will add that the power antenna doesn't go up and down anymore, it just makes a buzzing sound when you crank the vehicle. The driver's seat also has some tears, but the rest look good. There is one small bubble of rust under the back rear window where the rear wiper mounts, but I think that is it. It will also need rear tires soon. Okay, with that being said, I can say that the vehicle is in good condition, and it runs, drives, and stops just like it should. My wife uses it for everything, and the cargo space inside never ceases to amaze me. I can't tell you how many times I've said "there is no way that will fit" only to be told "I told you so" as my wife drives off with her new found treasures all packed inside. Anyway, when it hit 300K, I told my wife I was afraid it might leave her stranded somewhere, so I bought her a newer Lexus 470 to replace it. It's the same vehicle with just more bells and whistles. These trucks are just incredible. Anyway, that is my only reason for selling. As far as I am concerned, you can get in it and drive it anywhere. I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have. I am listing it with no reserve, so bid to win! Thanks for your interest and Good Luck!!
On Jun-06-13 at 18:00:50 PDT, seller added the following information:Please note: The autocheck history report that came up when I listed the Landcruiser says there was a wreck before it was sold at auction. This was before my time and also news to me. Needless to say it has not caused any issues whatsoever in the 12+ years of owernship. Sorry I can't provide any more information than that, but in the spirit of full disclosure I wanted to make sure to note this fact. Thanks.

2015 Toyota Sienna SE keeps the swagger, adds thoughtful updates [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Toyota found huge success with its "Swagger Wagon" rap video for the 2011 Sienna SE. It showed that a minivan could actually sort of maybe be fun and didn't have to be a lame vehicle for people who long ago lost their sense of humor. Now that there is a slight refresh for the 2015 model, the company is trying to capture that effervescent image again with a bunch of videos aimed at families.
For the latest launch, Toyota is partnering with some family-friendly online video stars and having them show off the Sienna's features. It's releasing YouTube videos from the creators of Action Movie Kid and Convos with My 2-Year-Old and a Vine from Eh Bee Family, and they all hope to show that it's cool to be a family with a minivan.
In terms of actual changes, though, the update is pretty light aesthetically, but the new tech inside seems aimed directly at mom and dad. However, unless you've got a sharp eye, spotting the exterior refresh might be tough. Toyota is tweaking the front end slightly by adding a dark mesh grille and trim. The headlights are also slightly reshaped to incorporate a new strip of available LED running lights.
Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.
Aging Prius, dropping gas prices putting hurt on hybrid, EV sales
Fri, 24 Oct 2014
"As Prius represents by far the biggest chunk of the hybrid marketplace, where Prius goes, the segment goes," - Ed Kim, Autopacific
Fuel prices in the US have been tumbling for the last several weeks, with the average price of a gallon of gas at $3.120 as of October 20, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That price reflects a serious recent drop from $3.299 on October 6. Reports have even suggested that those low numbers might not change for a little while, perhaps as long as years. While drivers certainly love paying less at the pump, the change may be hurting the market for more fuel-efficient models, including the Toyota Prius.
