1977 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 Landcruiser Trades Financing Original Trade-in on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:57608 Color: has some rust as shown on the body and rear of the cab
Location:

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Up for grabs is this rare 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.  This FJ is in excellent mechanical shape, and I just had it fully tuned-up, to include all new fluids, new spark plugs, wires, etc, and also a new fuel filter.  At the same time, I had a compression test performed-all cylinders were within 5psi of 150 psi, this 2F motor is very strong.  The Land Cruiser starts up very easily, and I have been using this as a daily driver on both city streets and the highway with no problems.  I rarely have to use the choke, it starts that easily!  Brakes are tight are work very well.  The four speed transmission shifts easily, the clutch is strong, and while older, it does have plenty of "pep" to keep up with traffic.    

Interior is also in good shape, as all of the gauges are fully functional, the wipers work, and so do the turn signals!  The radio is present, it may not be original, and it is not functional at present.  The seats are in brand-new shape, and have clearly been recovered.  The heater is present for both the front and the rear, and appears to be complete (although I have not tested it).  Rear jump seats are included with the vehicle.  

Obviously, the exterior has some rust as shown on the body and rear of the cab.  However, it is not nearly as bad as some of the Land Cruisers I have had, and everything is easily fixable.  Tires have plenty of tread, spare is covered by a modern FJ Cruiser wheel cover; original wheels and hub caps appear to be in good condition.  Since these photos have been taken, I replaced the brake light covers with new pieces.  I know that it does not have ambulance doors presently, but this could be easily remedied.  The front bumper is new, as is the grille guard.  I will include rear bumperettes with the sale.  

Please feel free to ask any questions BEFORE the end of the auction, my cell phone is 615-300-6004.  

I am a licensed dealer located in Nashville, TN; my main focus is Toyota Land Cruisers and other vintage SUV's/4x4's, and this is a great example of an FJ that can be purchased for an affordable price and driven as-is and/or restored.  In addition to the purchase price, there is a $199 doc fee, .03% Nashville city tax, and a $25 fee to send the title to you via FedEx.  

I can assist with financing for this FJ, please contact me directly for details. 

I will take trades on a case-by-case basis, please contact me directly to discuss.  

I can also assist with delivery of this FJ to you anywhere in the United States or internationally (buyer to pay all shipping fees), please provide your zip code for the most accurate quote.  

Again, please ask any and all questions before the end of the auction.  Please confirm with your spouse/partner/child/pet/religious leader that you are serious about purchasing this vehicle BEFORE bidding AND that you have the sufficient funds in place to pay for this FJ40.  Again, I am available to answer questions on 615-300-6004 or via eBay.  

We accept the following forms of payment: Cash, Cashier's Check, Wire Transfer (small fee applies), and Credit/Debit Cards (3% swipe fee applies).  I will release the title only after all of the outstanding balance has been collected; if paying by check, title will be sent separately after seven (7) business days.  The FJ will be sold with a thirty day temporary tag.  I will send the title to the buyer via FedEx.  

This is a great driving truck with a ton of potential that is ready for immediate duty as a daily driver.  The reserve is set VERY low for an FJ40, please do not contact me to disclose the reserve price.  This vehicle is also listed for sale on Rockstar Motorcars.  

Thanks!

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

400-hp Toyota Hybrid-R Concept gets second teaser

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Toyota has released a second teaser of its Hybrid-R Concept, along with an estimation of the show car's power output. Using technology that's "similar to that used by Toyota Racing's TS030 Hybrid race car," the concept is expected to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The press release also mentions that the new concept is based on a current production model. While it's difficult to tell from the sole teaser image of the car's body, rumors are flying that it's related to the Yaris. If that's the case, though, it's difficult to know what to make of this concept. The teaser image is quite dark, but we played around with the exposure and came up with an image that reveals more details about the new concept. Take a look at the related gallery, below, to see the high-exposure image. We'll find out for certain what the Hybrid-R is in a few weeks at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Let us know what you think Toyota's newest concept is in the comments.

Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.
