1997 - Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
San Clemente, California, United States
1997 Land Cruiser Wagon in white with a tan leather interior. Nicknamed "Watson". The Kelly Blue Book on this car appears to be almost 9,000. It has very low mileage at 113,321 miles!!! It drives beautifully and looks fantastic! Every time I take it to be serviced or detailed auto workers ask if I want to sell it. It has never been in any kind of accident of any sort. We have taken good care of it, getting it serviced regularly at Torrance Toyota and saved all service records. We saved the original window sticker and have the original bill of sale. We have owned it for the past 16 years and bought it from a dealer in Northridge, California when there was only about 14,000 miles on it. When we took it for its last service, Torrance Toyota recommended getting 2,000 worth of work done which I listed above. As much as we love this car-- and we do-- we decided to sell it instead. The main repair needed is the Axle Seal. The dealership service center said both outer axle pivot seals are leaking diff oil and they recommended front axle overhaul. We didn't get a second opinion on this. Here is the information from the window sticker, which I saved: Mechanical and performance: 4.5 DOHC Engine w/24 Valves 4-speed ECT Automatic overdrive transmission Full time four wheel drive Viscous Coupling Center Differential Front and RR Coil Spring Suspension Front and Rear Stabilizer Bars Power Assisted Recirculating Ball Steering 2nd Gear Start Switch 4-Wheel Ventilated Disc Brakes P275/70R16 Radial Tires (5) Towing PKG w/Trans Oil Cooler Safety: Driver/Passenger Airbag (SRS) 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System Side-Door Impact Beams Center High-Mount Stoplight Exterior: Color-Keyed Dual Outside Mirrors and Door Handles Tinted Glass Rear Window Defogger Front and rear Mudguards Fender Flares 16x8JJ Silver Styled Wheels Comfort and Convenience: Leather Seats Full pile-cut carpeting CFS-Free Air conditioning premium ETR Cassette w/9 Speakers and power antenna Height adjustable front shoulder belt anchors FR and RR intermittent Wipers Front and Rear Heaters, Cruise Control with Digital Clock Tilt Steering Power Windows/Doors Locks/Mirrors Auto-Off Headlamps The window sticker said it gets 13 miles to the gallon in the city and 15 on the highway. We paid 42,972.25 for this car on August 5, 1998 and have that contract. The odometer reading at the dealership was 14,177 and they said it was new.

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.
Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.

TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested
Thu, 05 Sep 2013The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!
