Selling our 2000 Toyota land cruiser
Kids are grown up no longer need the large soccer vehicle.. i am the second owner i have owned the truck for the past 10/11 years no accidents never once broke down or left me stranded. very well built suv, built to last.. no major damage just the typical scuffs dents and chips minor flaws of a 14 year old vehicle. inside could use a good cleaning and conditioning outside a good waxing .. The drivers seat has a broken stitch that has been somewhat repaired to stop any further un-stitching.. could be professionally repaired. see picture. could use a new steering wheel cover also not ripped just worn ..
The rear wiper doesn't work i don't know why? it has not worked ever since i have owned it.. The truck also need a new front fog light$40 on ebay . went through and tested everything. The moon roof wont retract. This is something we haven't opened in years. The motor starts to turn then stops. According to the Toyota forum, what is happening is since we never use it the drop down linkage is not dropping down making the end switch and allowing the motor to keep running.. it needs to be lubed or the end switch went bad... i have always done the normal maintenance on the car. oil fluids plugs and so on a coil pack or two over the years. tires have always worn very even so i never have to rotate. ..They could use a re-balancing..antenna wont retract fully, but it goes up and down see pic .. New starter installed in 2008... rear Shocks and all brake calipers, Tires and rims replaced with new style Toyota 18 inch alloys in 2010/2011. rotors and break pads were replaced in 2013. muffler exhaust and flex pipe replaced 2014..The land cruiser runs and drives great no issues a very reliable.all the safety features work abs traction control anti skid, nothing illuminated on the dash that shouldn't be.. AC works great front and rear never once had to recharge it. also includes the third row of seats. also has automatic start. By far the safest vehicle i have ever owned, amassing in the snow. Its actually hard to try and make the car fish tale or get the tires to spin it just wont let you..
I was told for $200 i cold get a full detailing to make it show better but figured why.. not trying to hiding anything 100% honest . title in hand. would prefer a local buyer but will ship buyer pays and procures arrangements. auction may end early due to local listing also.

Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.
