1997 Toyota Tacoma Lx Extended Cab Original Paint 4x4 Excellent Condition! on 2040-cars
Akron, Ohio, United States
Up for auction is my 1997 Toyota Tacoma extended cab pick up. I have owned it for a little over 5 years, had it shipped from Florida to Ohio. It has had the Toyota frame check performed, rust free. Has been treated each fall with a petroluem based rust inhibitoir. No rust. Original Paint, you get what you see. Has only been brush touched. Never wrecked. I am only selling it because of the need of a double cab truck. It was smoked in prior to my owning it. The interior is overall clean, with the exception of the worn drivers seat cover. (see photo) and a few cigarrette burns from the previous owner. This truck starts, runs and drives exactly as it should, with no weird sounds or noises. It has the "bullet proof" 2.7 liter 4 cylinder matched to the 5 speed manual transmission with four wheel drive that all operate as they should. Flaws: Back up lights do not work. Clock does not work. The rear bumper is rusty and dented. A/C does not blow cold. The cassette player does not appear to work. (the CD player works fine, as well as the am/fm radio.) The windshield washer bottle leaks fluid, it had water in it when it arrived from Florida, never replaced, and froze in Ohio winter. The pump works, easy fix, JB Weld will fix it. Other than the above mentioned flaws, all factory installed options operate as they should. The bright side: Oil and filter have been changed every 3,000 to3,500 miles since my purchase. Uses no oil between changes. 143k, 3 belts, plugs and wires. (previous to my owning it) 149,500 Transmission rebuilt. Rebuild kit, bearing, input shaft,cluster gear installed. New clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing (Luk Made in Wooster Ohio USA ) fly wheel re surfaced. 150,126 Tires installed. 151,000 clutch slave cylinder installed. 151,200 clutch master cylinder installed. 157,857 Front rotors and pads replaced. 161,000 Parking brake cable replaced. 09/26/2010 Duralast battery installed. 170,566, New radiator,upper and lower hoses, up stream o2sensor replaced. 176,440, Brake master cylinder. 178,500, Valve cover gasket replaced. 179,386, alternator replaced. 09/2013 windshield replaced. 09/2013 Down stream o2 sensor replaced Both head lamps replaced Sept. 2013.

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
Toyota pimps out Esquire van for Japanese businessmen [w/video]
Wed, 29 Oct 2014A few months back we reported on a dealership owner in Japan who was petitioning Toyota to make a luxury van. The problem, he reasoned, was that he couldn't take as many friends, colleagues and clients around with him in his Lexus LS, and his Toyota Alphard van wasn't luxurious enough. Well, it seems like he wasn't alone, and Toyota has listened.
The Japanese auto giant has just revealed the Esquire, a new luxury van designed with just such customers in mind. It's significantly smaller than the Sienna we get in America, smaller than the aforementioned Alphard and about the same size as (this writer's favorite) the JDM Noah van (on which we gather it's based). But what sets the Esquire apart is its upscale appearance.
The boxy van is distinguished by its dominant T-shaped chrome grille with a unique emblem that encompasses a shield, sword, "the collar of a gentleman's suit" and the letters Esq. The flank is characterized by a strong beltline with chrome lower window frame and an expansive greenhouse with tinted rear glass. Inside the flexible cabin you'll find accommodation for seven or eight passengers (depending on specification), synthetic leather upholstery and wood and metallic trim. There are even wheelchair-enabled models on offer as well.
Toyota Prius sales could come up short in 2013
Sat, 06 Jul 2013A Toyota executive has said that the automaker's hybrid Prius model may not reach its 2013 goal of selling 250,000 units in the US marketplace. Bill Fay, group vice president for Toyota's US sales, told Reuters, "The 240,000 to 250,000 range is kind of where we're settling our sights for the Prius family."
The first-generation Prius, a five-passenger model, was introduced to the States in 2001 (its arrival made it the second mass-produced hybrid, after the two-seat Honda Insight). The second-generation model arrived in 2004, followed by the current third-generation design that arrived for the 2010 model year. The automaker has subsequently added the Prius V, a hatchback wagon (shown above) and the Prius C, a subcompact hatchback. As of March, 2013, cumulative worldwide sales of the Prius had reached 3.67 million units.
Last year, Toyota sold 236,659 Prius models in the US. However, sales of the model have fallen 5.1 percent in the first six months of 2013. In response, the automaker has boosted its marketing for the model, and the promotions are expected to continue through at least July.
