1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Needs Work! on 2040-cars
Bangor, Maine, United States
|
I am selling this Toyota land cruiser for my son. It has just over 187,000 miles on it. It has been in the family for almost ten years and it has never let us down. With that being said it is getting older and does need some work. Serious bidders only! walk around/drive video
The Good: LOTS OF LIFE LEFT! Motor is strong as well as the tranny 40th anniversary Clean interior Runs Great! Drives straight Reliable! Moon roof 3rd row seating 2.5" Ems stainless header back exhaust Tinted windows Unstoppable Four-Wheel-Drive Factory Lockers It has 1 Michelin 265/70/r 16 spare It has 3 Michelin 275/70 r16 with 3-5k on them Two tone leather interior (see pics) Kenwood head unit Wired for sub No funny smells
The Bad: It has some dents/dings/scratches/rust Rarely something bangs in the front end only while wheels are cut in reverse and it has done it for years... sometimes it will go months without doing it. It has never caused any problems. The rear brake line leaks The bumper is pushed in (see pics) The lockers sometimes stick (They weren't used much) Check engine light is on and has been for years Ice fell off neighbors roof and dinged up (see pics) It need a stainless exhaust bracket welded and possibly new flex connectors eventually Missing front passenger wheel flare (Broken clips I still have it and will include it) Needs one tire (other three have 3-5k on them) Small oil leak never leaves more than a dime size on the ground (it has for about 4 years and it has never gotten any bigger) Dirty engine bay Needs rear hatch handle Drivers side windows slow when cold A/c has a leak and needs a belt Small chip in windshield (see Video) It has been in a small accident (under 5 mph) that only scratched the paint on the plastic ends of the bumper. This was not what pushed the bumper in. The bumper was pushed in by an ice covered snow bank.
As you can see I am being as honest as I can about the issues that it has... With that being said this vehicle has been driven around by my family and I for almost a decade and has never left us stranded. My son is still driving it to school. Sold as is with no warranty. The buyer is responsible for transporting the vehicle. Paypal Only! Non refundable $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auctions end and full payment due within seven days of auctions end |

Next-gen Toyota Prius spied inside and out
Fri, 24 May 2013Toyota has built itself into the industry's standard-bearer when it comes to hybrids, and it isn't going to let the poster child for gas-electric vehicles get stale on the market. These spy shots captured in California are our first good look at the next-generation Prius, which could come to market wearing a 2015 model year designation.
Even though it looks like Toyota may have blown its annual camouflage budget on this mule, we can clearly see that it will have the same iconic half-moon design that has been with the car since 2003. If so, this goes against reports from last year that suggested the car would be getting a different look inspired by the 2013 NS4 Concept. Although, this could also indicate that the Prius family will continue to grow - adding a new sedan - to the existing Prius C, Prius V and Prius Plug-In lineup.
These spy shots also give us an indication as to what the interior will look like, with a more stylish three-spoke steering wheel and an instrument panel design that sort of reminds us of a BMW. On the other hand, all the tape, cobbled together pieces and lack of space for a center stack display screen has us thinking this isn't what the final product will resemble.
CARB uses tricked-out RAV4 EV to measure air pollution in California
Fri, May 23 2014The old-school Toyota RAV4 EV you see above is the California Air Resources Board's version of a non-participant observer. The all-electric vehicle cruises around the state measuring airborne pollution. Since it's powered by batteries, there are no tailpipe emissions created as CARB tries to get a handle on how dirty the roadway air is. The problem, CARB says, is that it is difficult to measure air pollution levels, "during calm conditions at night and in the early morning." There are over 250 stationary air monitoring sites in California today, but the Board wanted a way to expand where and when it can test for things like ultrafine particles, carbon dioxide and nox. The original plan for the Mobile Monitoring Platform – as the RAV4 EV is officially called – was to "Investigate Spatial, Diurnal and Seasonal Pollution Gradients" on California's highways and ports. The RAV4 EV was originally expected to cost $280,000 (see pages 11-12 in this PDF from 2009), but a new report in the Modesto Bee says it had a total of $300,000 just in monitoring equipment. Michael Benjamin, CARB's chief of air monitoring, told the Bee that the MMP, "paints a thorough picture about what air quality is in any given community." More importantly, the stationary and mobile testing equipment can tell CARB when and where the air is getting cleaner. Which is the whole point, after all.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
