Hello and thank you for checking out my auction. Up for sale is my wife's 1997 Toyota Landcruiser. She has owned this Collectors Edition Landcruiser since 2001. It was an IBM owned car that was sold at the Manheim Auction when it had about 110K miles. This vehicle has been nothing short of amazing since then, and has never let us down. It is full time four wheel drive, but also has the 4 way differential locks that allow it to go almost anywhere. This landcruiser has a clear title, and has never been wrecked. A deer did jump into the side of it a few years ago and knocked off the rear fender trim, but I re-attched it with gorilla glue. Not my best work, but its held. I also backed into a mailbox last month which pushed in a place on the soft rear bumper corner and put a scratch near the tailight (see the pics). And while I am disclosing the bad, I will add that the power antenna doesn't go up and down anymore, it just makes a buzzing sound when you crank the vehicle. The driver's seat also has some tears, but the rest look good. There is one small bubble of rust under the back rear window where the rear wiper mounts, but I think that is it. It will also need rear tires soon. Okay, with that being said, I can say that the vehicle is in good condition, and it runs, drives, and stops just like it should. My wife uses it for everything, and the cargo space inside never ceases to amaze me. I can't tell you how many times I've said "there is no way that will fit" only to be told "I told you so" as my wife drives off with her new found treasures all packed inside. Anyway, when it hit 300K, I told my wife I was afraid it might leave her stranded somewhere, so I bought her a newer Lexus 470 to replace it. It's the same vehicle with just more bells and whistles. These trucks are just incredible. Anyway, that is my only reason for selling. As far as I am concerned, you can get in it and drive it anywhere. I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have. I am listing it with no reserve, so bid to win! Thanks for your interest and Good Luck!!
On Jun-06-13 at 18:00:50 PDT, seller added the following information:Please note: The autocheck history report that came up when I listed the Landcruiser says there was a wreck before it was sold at auction. This was before my time and also news to me. Needless to say it has not caused any issues whatsoever in the 12+ years of owernship. Sorry I can't provide any more information than that, but in the spirit of full disclosure I wanted to make sure to note this fact. Thanks.

Toyota sells 3-millionth Prius
Sun, 07 Jul 2013Three generations in sixteen years and more than three million units sold worldwide - as of the end of June, those are the stats on the Toyota Prius. Even though Toyota says Prius sales might not reach the goal of 250,000 units this year, the little hybrid that could still doesn't have any problem flying off dealer lots. The second-generation Prius sold 1.2 million examples in its eight-year lifespan, and the third generation, introduced in 2009, has sold 1.7 million examples in just four years.
Toyota is also touting its investment in future powertrains, some 790 billion yen ($7.9 billion US) on research and development into new platforms and components, and "environmental technology development."
The press release below has more details, the future undoubtedly has more Priuses Prii in it.
Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.
Driving Notes:
Toyota working on cars that hover above the roadway
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Toyota is one of the largest automakers in the world, but it's not content simply building and selling conventional cars - it's been at the forefront of numerous advancements in ground transportation. It is widely credited with advancing the cause of hybrid propulsion, and alongside Audi and Google, is among the first automakers seriously testing self-driving cars. We could go on, but the news here is that Toyota is reportedly developing vehicles that hover above the road surface instead of rolling along it.
The news comes from Hiroyoshi Yoshiki, one of Toyota's tech gurus, who revealed at Bloomberg's Next Big Thing summer in San Francisco that the company is working on hovering cars - ones that travel just above the road surface, but don't actually fly in three-dimension space.
According to The Verge, a spin-off of our own sister-site Engadget, Yoshiki refused to elaborate on what the project entails and how far along it is. He was speaking along acting NHTSA chief David Friedman, who lauded such advancements as a "great taste of innovations to come," but stressed the significance of more concrete improvements to conventional automobiles - like inter-car communications to keep vehicles from colliding on the highway - as more relevant to today's industry.
