This 4Runner is all original, including paint, interior, and chasis. I am the second owner and it has always been a California registered vehicle, so any rust issues are minimal and light. No rust on body anywhere. It has been garaged almost since new and the original paint has been professionally guaged, rated almost like new. Tires are new. I had an upgraded alarm system installed when I bought the vehicle and also had the center padded console cover professionally recovered in leather; just like new. I also had the front headliner replaced because a seam was split. In other words, I wanted this 4runner to be as good as possible in appearance. It's a true 4x4, first generation 4Runner and I think it's one of the best original 4Runners out there. I checked the 4x4 wheel locks and they work fine and the 4x4 feature works very well. The 6 cylinder engine starts up quick, runs well, and doesn't miss. It passed California smog with flying colors just a couple of months ago. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly with no jerks or slips. It looks to me like the removeable fiberglass top has never been removed, but I can't guarantee that. Heater and AC work fine. The radio is the original one and works, but the volume knob creates static until you find the right volume. I didn't check the cassette player. The previous owner added a nice set of fog lights, a custom chrome brush bumper, and cruise control. I installed a new battery just last month, and it has a three year guarantee on it. All windows roll up and down smoothly and completely. The rear power window operates perfectly and the drop down tailgate opens and closes just like new. The shocks were replaced at one time, but I have to say that this truck-like frame is rough on the bumps. It might need new shocks or perhaps other work to smooth out the ride. On the road, it drives smooth, straight, and well controlled. Only the bumps are noticable to me. As a side note, I had this exact model 4Runner a few years ago and took it up to 240,000 miles before replacing the engine and selling the vehicle in order to buy a new pickup truck. If this 4runner does the same, it represents a great value for someone. Please note, some of the decals have parking dings and fading. There is one small ding on the left fender well, and these points are in some of the photos posted here on Ebay. This vehicle has never been wrecked and I have some maintenance records that go with it. Also, I have the original owner's manual and two sets of keys with alarm fobs on them. Please email me with any questions and I'll be glad to get the answers to you if I can. I will cooperate with your shipper of choice. Vehicle is sold as is, where is, with no guarantee. Just a few months ago, it was safety and mechanically checked by a dealer before I bought it so I believe it's in fine condition overall.

Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales
Wed, 21 Nov 2012The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
CARB uses tricked-out RAV4 EV to measure air pollution in California
Fri, May 23 2014The old-school Toyota RAV4 EV you see above is the California Air Resources Board's version of a non-participant observer. The all-electric vehicle cruises around the state measuring airborne pollution. Since it's powered by batteries, there are no tailpipe emissions created as CARB tries to get a handle on how dirty the roadway air is. The problem, CARB says, is that it is difficult to measure air pollution levels, "during calm conditions at night and in the early morning." There are over 250 stationary air monitoring sites in California today, but the Board wanted a way to expand where and when it can test for things like ultrafine particles, carbon dioxide and nox. The original plan for the Mobile Monitoring Platform – as the RAV4 EV is officially called – was to "Investigate Spatial, Diurnal and Seasonal Pollution Gradients" on California's highways and ports. The RAV4 EV was originally expected to cost $280,000 (see pages 11-12 in this PDF from 2009), but a new report in the Modesto Bee says it had a total of $300,000 just in monitoring equipment. Michael Benjamin, CARB's chief of air monitoring, told the Bee that the MMP, "paints a thorough picture about what air quality is in any given community." More importantly, the stationary and mobile testing equipment can tell CARB when and where the air is getting cleaner. Which is the whole point, after all.
2019 Toyota Corolla vs. compact hatchbacks: How they compare
Mon, Apr 30 2018So you've read what we thought about the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. Oh, you didn't? Well, click to your left, we'll still be here. Just made some coffee, we're good for a while. Welcome back! Wasn't that riveting? The blue paint sure is bright, eh? Well, now you must be wondering how that new 2019 Corolla stacks up with all the other hatchbacks. And, despite long thinking that hatchbacks were doomed, there are actually quite a lot of them these days. So many, in fact, that we couldn't fit them all in our space-limited comparison chart. So, with apologies to the Hyundai Elantra GT, Kia Forte and the dead-man-walking Ford Focus, these were the cars we chose based on sales and competitiveness: the Honda Civic Hatchback, Mazda3 5-Door, Volkswagen Golf, Chevrolet Cruze and Subaru Impreza. We also included the outgoing Corolla iM for reference. If you think we've left something of interest out, you can always create your own comparison. Performance and fuel economy There is but one king here, and its name is Civic. While the sedan and coupe come with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter 158-horsepower four-cylinder that's less potent than the Corolla's, the hatchback comes standard with the 1.5-liter turbo that aces the segment in terms of both acceleration and fuel economy. The Golf's acceleration should be comparable, but as you can see, it trails on fuel economy (still not bad, though). The new Corolla ends up being better than the rest with its new 168-hp four-cylinder paired to novel transmissions: a six-speed manual with rev-matched downshifting (!) and a CVT that mimics the actions of a 10-speed automatic. The Corolla does weigh more than everything else, though, so that could hamper its acceleration. Fuel economy data also wasn't announced, but Toyota indicated it would be a bit better than the old Corolla iM. Something akin to the 2.0-liter Mazda 3's numbers seems likely. As for the Mazda, its top two trim levels actually come standard with its bigger engine. In any event, despite its ample power, testing has often showed that the Civic is still the quicker car from 0 to 60 mph. And finally, let's not leave out the two on the end. The Subaru is the only car in the segment that offers all-wheel drive (the Focus RS and Golf R don't count), but is also the segment weakling now that the Corolla iM has been discontinued.
