Toyota reliability and plenty of room for less than you think!  NO RESERVE!!  If you need plenty of room and a reliable vehicle but don't have a lot of money then this is the SUV for you!

MECHANICAL
This 2002 Sequoia has high miles but I cannot overstate how well it drives.  
I bought it about 2 months ago at auction and had it checked out by my mechanic the day I bought it.  He installed a new timing belt kit (including pulleys, belt, etc), water pump, battery, serpentine belt, 2 oxygen sensors and front and rear brake pads and rotors.  He said these were the only items he could find wrong with it.  No oil or other fluid leaks.  I've driven it several times a week since then and have tried to find something wrong with how it drives/runs and cannot.  I would encourage you to have your mechanic check it out.  

EXTERIOR
The exterior is in average condition.  The paint has a few chips around the exterior but no body damage except for 2 small "slits" in the rear bumper, right above the towing hitch.  They are about 2 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide.  All body panels appear to be original and it even comes with running boards and spoiler.  The clear coat is fading some.  It stills looks good, as is, but if the buyer wanted to pay $1000 or so for a new paint job then it would look brand new.  All lights, turn signals, etc have been tested and worked at that time.  The only exterior item that is not currently working are the power side mirrors.  I believe it is just a fuse and will try to correct, but until further notice please assume it is not working.  Mirrors can be adjusted by hand, though.

INTERIOR
The interior is in good condition, except for 2 items.  One of the seams in the seat of the front driver and passenger seat is coming loose.  I have included a picture of both.  The seats don't have any other holes or tears but they are, somewhat, faded and do show their age.  Only other issue is on the 2nd row of seats- the seat belts are dirty but I am going to try to clean them.  Other than these two items, the interior is free of tears, holes or large scratches.  There is general wear and fading that you would expect from a 12 year old vehicle but it is definitely in good enough condition to use as is.

I have tried to describe as accurately as possible the exact condition of this vehicle.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask.  I bought this vehicle with the plan to keep it but my wife wants something slightly smaller which is the only reason I'm selling it.  I spent more on the mechanical upgrades than I normally would have so I will probably lose money on the sale but my loss is your gain.  I have it listed locally so I will end the auction if it sells before the end of the auction.  If not, the last bidder wins or BUY IT NOW for less than $5K.  Kelley Blue Book private party sale value in FAIR condition is $5855 and GOOD condition is $6459 so, either way, the buyer is going to get a great deal.

Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.
