Vehicle Specifics for 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 4WD AC Leather Moonroof 3rd Row

Really nice, well maintained and conditioned 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser now up for sale. This is by far the best car I have ever owned bar none. I am only the second owner and we purchased it with 28k miles on it. Our family has enjoyed this truck immensely. I would be happy to drive it for another 100k miles but my wife felt like we needed a change. We have had it garaged for the entire time we have owned it which is 13 years. These Land Cruisers are so much fun to drive, very popular and extremely reliable. Great care has been taken of the vehicle. This Land Cruiser has 255k miles, which is still very reasonable mileage for this vintage, as they can easily reach 400k miles. Most of the miles on the truck are highway miles.    

Interior Condition - The interior is very clean and in relatively good shape. With the exception of some good size tears in the drivers seat leather and wear in the steering wheel cover all other leather is in good shape. The carpets are very clean as are the wood grain trim and floor mats. It has never been smoked-in and smells pretty good. The power locks, windows, seats and roof all work well. Passenger power seat not moving backward - motors move, looks to be issue with a slight bend in the bar under seat. Air conditioning and heat work great. Includes removable 3rd row seating.   

Exterior Condition- Because it has been garaged for most of its life, the exterior paint still has a really nice looking shine to it. The exterior is in very good condition, no rust with only a few chips/scratches around the tire flares, front hood and right side door as would be expected for a 1997 vehicle. The right front hood and bumper have been pushed in as my mother in law had recently backed into the truck while it was sitting in the driveway. The damage is relatively minor but still needs to be addressed.  Preliminary estimates have been anywhere between $250 and 
$500 depending on the level of repair you want. Towing Package - hitch with 5000lb capacity New antenna is included, already purchased only just needs to be installed. It is full time four wheel drive, but also has the 4 way differential locks that allows it to go almost anywhere. Truck is exceptional in the snow and ice. 

Engine – Mechanically the car works perfect. Just had it tuned up. The engine compartment is relatively clean, and free of any leaks. The engine and transmission have always performed very well and there are no strange noises or vibrations.  All maintenance has been conducted very regularly. Engine runs strong, good power, excellent idle and freeway operation. It does use a decent amount of oil, I’m told because of its age. Also check engine light sometimes stays on. Have had this checked recently and was told the EGR valve needs to be cleaned. 

Tires - The tires are a relatively new matched set of Michelin LTXs. Only tires we have ever used and they ride, look and handle nicely. They are nice sport tires that have over 75% tread life left.  Have all been recently been rotated and balanced. The tires have alloy rims that are in relatively good shape. 

This is a great truck. We have loved it for as long as we’ve had it. We even recently looked at a new one but they have now gotten so expensive.  I want to be sure your happy with all details as expectations can vary.  If something is not clear in the description please feel free to ask me any questions before bidding.  

Additional Terms: I have done the best to detail issues/items on this truck, but please email me if you have any questions or need more information. Feel free to email me for more details

Bid with confidence cash only. Cash sale only - no check, no money order, no Paypal.
I have the clean title in hand (no liens). 

As-Is, buyer's responsibility to inspect, etc.Truck is sold AS-IS, WHERE IS - not able to assist with international sales - vehicle Located in Nanuet NY 10954   Will require buyer to make own arrangements for local pickup or drive away.

Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell coming to US Northeast in 2016

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Looks like someone was able to read the future back in July. That's when rumors first circulated that Toyota's upcoming fuel cell vehicle will be called the Mirai. Today, Toyota president Akio Toyoda confirmed the name alongside plans to build out a hydrogen refueling infrastructure in the US Northeast.
In Japanese, mirai (??) means "future," which is a fitting name for a car that Toyota believes represents the direction the auto industry will go in the coming years. In a promotional video announcing the name, Toyoda said, "For [Toyota], this isn't just another car. This is an opportunity - an opportunity to really make a difference. And making a difference is what Toyota is all about."
To help that future come into existence, Toyota CEO Jim Lentz also disclosed the vague outline of a fuel cell infrastructure investment that Toyota and partner Air Liquide will make in a five-state Northeastern corridor that consists of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. The Mirai will be available there in 2015 and Toyota is going to build 12 stations in and around New York and Boston to support the launch. More details will be available later.

Toyota asking NHTSA for waiver on 206K vehicles

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Toyota has filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asking for a waiver to avoid recalling about 206,271 2012-2014 Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Sienna, Tundra and Tacoma vehicles, some of its most popular models. The affected vehicles contain seat heaters that might not meet government flammability standards. Toyota says in the waiver that "the chance of fire or flame induced by a malfunctioning seat heater is essentially zero," according to The Detroit News. The automaker notes the part makes up less than one percent of the seat's weight.
Initial reports of the problem arose in late January when Toyota issued a stop-sale order for 2013 and 2014 model year versions of those vehicles. The automaker says that there have no been reports of fires or injuries in the affected cars, and the problem was discovered during testing by the South Korean government, according to The Detroit News.
We've reached out to Toyota for comment on this development and are awaiting a reply. We'll update this post if and when we hear back.

Buy a Toyota GT86 and your wife will hate you

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

Marketing can be a very strange business. Convincing a man or woman (or child, really) that they absolutely cannot live without the latest, greatest new bit of technology oftentimes takes a unique approach. In the "online film promoting the Toyota GT86" you'll see below, created by agency Happiness Brussels, men are reverse-psychologied into thinking a new sports coupe will make them more masculine by getting their loved ones to hate them. Or something like that. We think.
In any case, we suggest you watch the video below to see how much fun men can have with a GT86 - or Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, presumably - at the expense of their significant others. Fair warning: There's a potential Not Safe For Work moment in the ad: beware of a brief male butt shot about 44 seconds in.
Marketing. Gotta love it. Unless you're married to a man. Or something like that. We think. Whatever, just watch.
