OVERVIEW: This is a very well kept example of unmodified 1994 FZJ80 Land Cruiser with only 73k miles, 3rd row seats, and optional front and rear Differential Locks.  I recently bought this FZJ80 to build up for off road use, but it is so clean I can't bare to alter it.  I will attempt to explain to the best of my knowledge in detail the condition of everything.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me via email.  If you'd like leave me your number, we can talk over the phone.

HISTORY: I've only owned this vehicle for a month or so.  I purchased it from a gentleman in San Jose, CA who had recently inherited it from the passing of his brother.  He stated his brother had owned it since it was "almost new".  He also stated this was only one of seven cars he had just inherited from his brother inluding a bunch of high end sports cars and that when they were not being driven they were garaged in what he said was a huge 10+ car garage, (hence the low mileage, and condition). Clean title and pink slip is in my name and in hand.  It looks as though I am the 4th owner. The third owner was the guy I bought it from and he had it since 10/17/13.  His brother, 2nd owner, had it since 4/2/97 with 47k miles. 

EXTERIOR: Color is Dark Emerald Pearl Green.  Appears to be the original paint with no signs of clear coat fading.  There are a handful of tiny paint touch up spots on different areas of the vehicle apparently from the previous owner.  Has factory roof rack, factory running boards, factory mud flaps, tow package with wiring harness.  See link to pictures for all details of any imperfections that caught my eye.

INTERIOR:  Gray interior is very clean. There is no evidence of tabacco / smoking use. Leather Seats are in great condition including the 3rd row seats, with power seats working in all directions.  Driver seat has the most wear but no rips or tears, (see picture link).  Carpet is very clean throughout with factory floor mats for front, middle, 3rd row, (had never seen the narrow 3rd row floor mat before) and rear cargo mat.  Door panels and headliner are very clean.  All interior and dash lights work as they should, (even the often burned out "D" light still illuminates on the dash!). Sunroof tilts and opens/closes as intended.  I poured water down all four sunroof drains and they all flowed to the grounds smoothly. All power
locks, mirrors and windows work properly.  All buttons and options work as they should.  A/C, (R134), blows ice cold, and heater works great, including rear heater and controls.  Factory manual included.  Two sets of factory keys with viper alarm included, but alarm is currently not working.  Wiring appears to be hooked up but main fuse is pulled.  I attempted to put a fuse in it which made the alarm sound. Fuse is currently pulled.  It is also equiped with the factory TVSS (Toyota Vehicle Security System) control box is still under driver seat. 

SUSPENSION/RUNNING GEAR/TIRES: It appears to have the factory coil springs with very clean, (or perhaps newer), Bilstiens in all corners. The 4.5L inline 6 runs smooth, and A442F transmission shifts smoothly.  Power steering works well with no issues.  Coolant is red in color, consistant with factory Toyota coolant.  Engine oil is full, with no signs of water/coolant mixing.  Brake, Auto Transmission, transfer case, front/rear axle fluids are all properly full with no signs of over use, neglect or metal filings.  No apparent coolant, oil or gear fluid leaks.  Front axle knuckles look clean and free of leaks.  No engine codes or check engine lights.  Air filter is the factory Toyota washable type.  Tires are Toyo Open Country 275/70R16 and look practically new, with lots of tread, (see pictures) with no cupping or uneven wear marks.  Factory spare has  Michelin 275/70R16 in factory location.  Factory  jack and tool kit included.

DRIVE/4WD: It accelerates and drives fantastic down the road at all speeds, no shimmies, shakes or pulling to either side.  The ABS power brakes operate properly and stop great.  Four Wheel Drive; The 4wd low shifts as it should which activates the CDL and ABS lights to illuminate on the dash.  Both the front and rear differential lockers activate within a matter of seconds.  When activating the front or rear differential the selinoid can be heard activating each locker which changes each blinking light on the dash to stay on solid.  Lockers and 4wd hi/low both work great! 

PAYMENT: $500 due via paypal within 3 days of auction end, (if you don't have paypal, contact me before bidding and we can work something out). The remaining balance due upon vehicle pickup in for the form of cash, cashiers check or money transfer, (we could even meet at a bank if you prefer, I've heard bad stories about fake cashiers checks).

SHIPPING: Winning bidder will need to make arrangements for picking vehicle up from my location.

I reserve the right to end auction early since the vehicle is available for sale locally too.

Currently California smogged, and in smog cert in CA database which is good for 90 days.  Smog performed on 2/18/2014.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

Toyota ad says fuel cell cars are inevitable

Fri, Sep 19 2014

Toyota's confidence in H2 technology remains as strong as ever. The company has released a new commercial that says it's not a matter of if we all start driving hydrogen cars, but when. In fact, the 70-second spot calls 2015 the turning point for the alternative powertrain technology. Here's a bit of the voiceover for the animated spot, which to our eyes and ears comes off as more than a little defensive: There will be the naysayers. The handbrakes, who say that it can't be done. that it's unsafe. That there's no infrastructure to support it. Then there'll be the trailblazers. The first to put up their hand, and put down their foot. The bold few, driven to be remembered as those who made a difference. And perhaps, the ones that made all the difference. In the end, Toyota says, we're all going to be driving hydrogen cars, starting perhaps with the company's first H2 sedan which will go on sale next year. But, if the early comments on the video's YouTube page are any indication, then Toyota's might be a bit lonely driving down the hydrogen highway. Watch the ad below, then vote in our poll below and let us know what you think of Toyota's approach. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Why Toyota's fuel cell play is one big green gamble

Mon, Feb 3 2014

Imagine going to the ballet on Saturday evening for an 8 pm performance. The orchestra begins warming up shortly before the show, but it turns out the star performer isn't ready at the appointed time. The orchestra keeps playing, doing its best to keep the audience engaged and, most importantly, in the building. It keeps this up until the star finally shows and is ready to dance ... which turns out to be ten years later. That's a Samuel Beckett play. It's also how many observers, analysts, alt-fuel fans and alt-fuel intenders feel about the arrival of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) – the few of them who are still in the building, that is. Toyota's hydrogen development timeline rivals that of the US space program. In fact, within the halls of Toyota alone, research on FCVs has been going on for nearly 22 years, meaning that one company's development timeline for FCVs rivals that of the US space program – it was 1945 when Werner von Braun's team began re-assembling Germany's World War II V2 rockets and figuring out how to launch them into space and it wasn't until 1969 when a man set landing gear down on that sunlit lunar quarry. The development of the atom bomb only took half as long, and that's if we go all the way back to when Leo Szilard patented the mere idea of it, in 1934. Carmakers didn't give up on hydrogen in spite of the public having given up on carmakers ever making something of it, so there was a good chance that hydrogen criers announcing the mass-market adoption of periodic chart element number two one would eventually be right. Now is that time. And Toyota, not alone in researching FCVs but arguably having done the most to keep FCVs in the news, isn't even going to be first to market. That honor will go to Hyundai, surprising just about everyone at the LA Auto Show with news of a hydrogen fuel cell Tucson going on sale in the spring. The other bit of thunder stolen: while Toyota's talking about trying to get the price of its offering down to something between $50,000 and $100,000, Hyundai is pitching its date with the future at a lease price of $499 per month ($250 more than the lease price of a conventional Tucson), free hydrogen and maintenance, and availability at Enterprise Rent-A-Car if you just want to try it out. We've seen and driven Toyota's offering and we all know its success doesn't depend on cross-shopping, showroom dealing and lease sweeteners.
