Non smoker, no pets it has no oders inside. Only reason for selling is I need the money for a new roof on my house. I am a ASE Master auto mechanic and have taken very well care of this with all services and maintenance done before or on there service intervals. oil changed every 3000 miles with mobil 1 oil and dealer oil filter, ALL fluids in entire vehicle changed every 30k. spark plugs changed at 30k and 60k. five new tires last year, 285/70-/17 brigestone dueler revo. brakes new last year with hevy duty pads and rotors. shocks replaced 2 years ago with bilstien 5100 series, at that time I put OLD MAN EMU 2.5 inch front lift coils and 1 inch lift in rear. It sits nice and leval and rides better than factory ride. This rides perfect no shakes, pulls, or rough ride. alighnment was performed and perfect. I am very picky and I assure you this FJ rides great and is in tip top order, being a mechanic I don't settle for anything less than perfect on my cars.has power window, power lock, cruise, auto trans,6 disc cd, locking rear diff, A-Track, backup sensors, 115volt rear plug. See Pictures It has a lot of nice add on accessories, including, light bar, 2 sets of lights, step bars, brush guard, Gobi rear ladder, front lower skid shield, tinted windows, hood vinal blackout (removable) trd cleanable air filter, tow package with heavy duty factory trans cooler. wheels are factory 17in wheels that I had professionally painted with 2 stage collar and clear coat paint, not spray painted. Truck is florida truck and shows like new, has absolutely no rust. It has never been offroad use or in mud, or rock climbed like most of them on ebay will be. it was street driven only, look at pictures undercarriage still looks like new. paint and body are in excellent condition, no fading of the paint, no sun damage, I always used sunshade when parked. body has NO dents or dings, paint has NO scratches other than a few light scuffs that are only on surface of paint and would probably buff off. only one touch up to paint on passenger rear door the size of a small pee. It was professionaly touched up with color coat and clear coat then wet sanded and buffed so it is smooth to the touch, Hardly noticeable. a few light scuffs to the plastic in the cargo area and a few light scratches to the black plastic on the bumpers, non in the paint. THEY ALL HAVE THIS on used FJ, I work at a dealer and see a lot of these. Overall it looks very well for a 2007, pretty much like new but I wanted to point everything out. The FJ has been in NO Accidents, But apparently it shows a accident on the report that I wasn't even aware off until now. Let me explain. I was sitting at a red light one day and a girl on a MOPED bumped into the back of me and hit the left rear tire and the silver bumper end. the girl fell over on the MOPED and got hurt so the police came out and did a report. I had no Idea this was going to show up now as accident reported. THE FJ HAD NO DAMAGE, other than a scrape in the plastic on the left silver part of the bumper, the scrape annoyed me so I replaced the silver end cap on the bumper. I assure you everything stated is the truth, I have sold many cars and things on ebay, look at my 100% feedback. I already was offered $17,500 for trade in at CarMax, but I don't want to sell it for trade IN value because it is very clean and needs Nothing. Kelly blue book private party value is over $19,000. I have about 50 pictures if interested I can send to email, probably will not have all pictures on ebay listing. any question ask. I have a clean and clear title in hand. Do not bid if you do not have the money or loan pre approval. FJ can be seen or inspected at my location anytime. FJ is also listed on craigslist so first money in my hand gets it, will be removed from ebay if sold locally.

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.

Final decision on Toyota/BMW sports car due by year end

Fri, Sep 18 2015

BMW and Toyota signed a memorandum of understanding to share technology and build a sports car way back in 2012, and months later, they made that partnership official. This oft-rumored model from two auto industry titans still hasn't hit the road, and the time has come to make a final decision about its future. Thankfully, the model's fate is just a few months from being known. "By the end of the year we will approve whether or not we will make it," a Toyota spokesperson said about the sports car project, according to Automotive News Europe. "The whole study before that, on what kind of platform, on what kind of architecture, that's been progressing quite well. We haven't yet decided to give the green light to the project, but it's coming up." The collaboration is supposed to result in jointly developed fuel-cell tech, composites, and research into lithium-air batteries. Little is officially known about what Toyota and BMW are planning for the sports car project, but there are plenty of rumors about what's in store. Both automakers are supposed to get their own version of the vehicle. Some reports say the Japanese model will be the revival of the Supra, and the Bimmer-badged one might end up being a replacement for the Z4. The potential powertrains have been suggested as a German-sourced, turbocharged inline six with rear-wheel drive and a super-capacitor-powered plug-in hybrid with all-wheel drive.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Subaru and Toyota PHEV, Nomadic Power grant

Sat, Jun 20 2015

The next generation of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid looks to be important for Mazda and Subaru as well. Toyota will likely need to sell more of the new plug-in hybrid to meet stricter ZEV standards in California. That means it will get more extra electric range, as customers have been asking for. Subaru and Mazda will also have to adhere to the California standards beginning in 2018. Those two smaller automakers will likely license a plug-in hybrid powertrain from Toyota in order to fulfill compliance. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla is partnering with Dalhousie University to improve battery technology. Tesla signed a five-year research agreement with Dalhousie's Jeff Dahn, a lithium-ion battery researcher. Dahn and the 25 researchers in his lab will work with Tesla's Director of Battery Technology, Kurt Kelty, to increase capacity through improved materials. The collaboration could be important both for Tesla's automotive and stationary batteries. "Our research group's goal is to increase the energy density and lifetime of Li-ion batteries, so we can drive down costs in automotive and grid energy storage applications," says Dahn. Read more from Dalhousie University. Nomadic Power is receiving a European Commission grant worth ˆ2 million (about $2.26 million) for trailer-mounted mobile batteries. Nomadic Power's mobile batteries, called Nomads, have incorporated photovoltaic systems and can be used to extend the electric driving range of a plug-in vehicle, or to provide backup power to a home. The Nomads use an intelligent energy management system to learn and predict user behavior and manage the solar system based on weather forecasts. "We see a strong future in electric-powered mobility and an increasing use of renewable energy, photovoltaic power in particular," says Nomadic Power CEO Dr. Manfred Baumgaertner. "Our mobile batteries have great potential in these markets that recently got a significant shot in the arm by Tesla's announcements." Read more from Nomadic Power, and at Green Car Congress.
