Here is the rundown. My girlfriend has wanted a 60 series since she was a child, about a few months ago that dream was becoming a reality. We searched for 3 months before deciding on this 1989. We had it fully inspected at a Toyota Dealer and it came back with a clean report and pulled the trigger and had it shipped here. It was a Georgia car since brand new, garage kept, and has a ton of records that reach very far back. Fast forward and the girl that lusted realizes she cant handle not having leather, IFS, sunroof etc.

1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62

275,000+ documented miles, original paint, engine and trans.

Completely Rust Free - Literally 0 rust.

Work we have done: Basically a freshen up.

- Valve Adjustment, air filter, PCV valve, spark plugs, oil change, front and rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, drain and fill on trans with filter replacement and kickdown adjustment.

Immaculate service records down to oil changes, and more going back to 1990. Original bill of sales from dealer, factory car phone install agreement and tons of others. Rear main seal, front knucles, timing covers, oil changes, brakes, alternator etc etc etc.

Major work done in the past 30,000 -

Front knuckles fully rebuilt via Toyota dealer ($1497)

-Starter, radiator($396), brake pads, timing cover seal, and more

Receipts in the file from just the past 25,000 miles total= $9300

Cosmetics: Super clean inside and out. We looked at over 10 of these before deciding "Big Red" was the one. The paint appears to be all original with no signs of any prior accidents. It is the original Toyota Freeborn Red single stage paint. Body is completely rust free, and has no bondo or any other bodywork. All lines are straight. Chrome is in great shape as well as all glass and gaskets. Interior is in great shape with no major stains, and no odors. Carpet is in good shape with new all weather floor mats. Headliner is in excellent shape. Factory roof rack has no hidden rust and is in excellent shape. Undercarriage is clean and rust free.

Mechanics: This FJ is ready for that long road trip, or to go camping. Starts right up with no hesitation or drama. No smoke or choking. Accelerates perfectly, and shifts through all gears nicely, and the kickdown works under heavy accel. All electronics work, including all gauges and interior and exterior lights. Power locks, power windows, wipers all work perfect. Truck has cold A/C and hot heat. Truck never overheats or has any issues on long highway drives, or sitting in stop and go traffic at 101 degree temps (We sat in beach traffic this weekend for 45 minutes enjoying the A/C and stereo). Brakes are strong and true. Powersteering makes no groans, and does not leak. As mentioned above the truck will leave a drop of oil in a driveway if sitting, but never requires topping off, it is minimal. New tires with less than 5,000 miles. Truck is very much "turnkey" or drive it home ready.

Summary:

The good- Very clean inside and out, immaculate service records, shifts smooth, can go 70+mph

, cold A/C, tons of records, NO RUST, doesn't burn oil, never abused or offroaded, great stereo.

The bad- A few dings here and there, typical 62 seat tear on drivers side but was quoted $120 to fix, will leave a dime size oil drop if sitting, left rear window is off track.

We have more pictures and youtube videos of the truck driving and more available for serious buyers.

We can assist buyer in shipping if they need.

Toyota Matrix discontinued for 2014

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Between its slow sales and the upcoming redesign of the closely related Corolla sedan, things haven't been looking good for the Toyota Matrix (for some time now). After 10 years on the market, Toyota has officially announced that it will drop the Matrix from its US lineup following the 2013 model year.
The announcement was made as a part of a press release breaking down what's new for Toyota in 2014, but for now, it doesn't look like any Toyota-branded product will fill the Matrix's spot. The Matrix and its sister car, the defunct Pontiac Vibe, were the final vehicles developed under the joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, an arrangement launched back to 1984.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Toyota struggling in Latin American market, attempting recovery

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

With uncertainty in the US and Chinese markets, automakers are scrambling to rev up their efforts in what were traditionally secondary markets. Take Toyota's efforts in Latin America. A recent story from The Wall Street Journal highlights the Japanese brand's push in the southern hemisphere, particularly in Brazil, where it has expanded its operations and installed new executives with a greater range of powers, all in a bid to grab a bigger slice of the ever-growing South American pie.
South America is dominated by General Motors, Fiat and Volkswagen, which maintain a combined 60 percent of the market share - Toyota holds a mere 4.5 percent. The WSJ spoke with Steve St. Angelo, Toyota's boss in Latin America, who said, "We are playing catch up, but we're catching up fast. We now have the resources to give the region the attention it really needs and deserves."
That attention includes an all-new, locally produced small car called the Etios. As bewildering as it seems, Toyota wasn't competing in the low-cost economy car market in South America. With the Etios, which arrived in September of 2012, its sales in the first seven months of 2013 are up 75 percent.
