Okay so heres a real sweet opportunity for a buyer that knows what is here. This is a 1997 Toyota Tacoma Automatic with only 68k miles on the 2.4L I4 that is all original. 
I'll tell the story of how this came about. Originally from upstate New York, it was an old mans truck that he bought brand new in 1997, It was driven once or twice a week when his daughter or son came to visit. The rest of the time the truck was garaged. So until 2010 this continued until he passed, his family then sold this tacoma to my father with 17k original miles on it. This is when the exhaust, brakes, tires, cap, rotor, wires, battery, shocks, struts, timing belt checked, timing tuned, tranny fluid changed, and a general tune up was performed by a professional shop. December 2011 my father sold me the truck and I had plugs, wires, cap, and rotor done again because we are particular with performance and maintenance. 


Since then I have had 16" Rage wheels put on with a 55 profile Yoko Avid tires (65% tread on all four) rather than the stock 15" with 65 tires to help handling by discount tire in Katy, Texas (where my father lives now). Also the stereo deck has been replaced with a pioneer deck with an auxiliary input and the door speakers have been replaced with Kenwoods that made the stereo sound much better than the stock setup. other than that it is stock. the Leer riser Camper cap was purchased new from the Leer headquarters in PA and color matched in 2010.

The body and undercarriage has not been sprayed and has no rust at all. This isn't to say there aren't a amount of small scratches consistent with the age of this truck. The worst of the body is a dent in the rear right down by the bumper (pictured). Most of the scratches have been touched up. I try to describe everything 100% as not to mislead or misrepresent, more pictures upon request.
Oil has been changed religiously at least every three thousand miles along with the oil and air filter.
Most of the mileage since 2010 has been highway (from NY to TX thrice, NY to AZ thrice) plus various other road trips.

A new bolt-in bed liner was installed in 2010 and is in great shape.
The camper shell has had some interior work done to make camping very convenient, a three piece deck that pulls out at bed level and a tent conversion for the back (pictured). none of this gets in the way of original functionality and can be easily removed if desired.

There is 35% tint installed on the side windows and a 5" visor on the windshield.
A power inverter has been installed under the passenger side seat Husky 450 Watts 2 plugs.

The interior is very clean and never smoked in. (I worked at a carwash and detail shop, the the truck has been washed and cleaned inside every week since 2010) as well as a clay bar treatment, correction cream, and hand wax, 2 months ago.

The original steel wheels and metal hubcaps are also included with two studded snow tires mounted that only have one season on them (about 95% tread).

A/C blows freezing, heats great too.

I would be happy to have a mechanic of your choice look at the truck if you set it up.

Anyone who knows these trucks and the 2.4 I4 in them knows that with regular maintenance they will run like new until 300k easy.
The reason for my selling this truck is that I want an Small SUV or wagon (more seats)

I am open to very limited trades, strictly, 2004-2008 subaru forester xt, legacy gt wagon, outback gt wagon, under 125k, 5speed. that's it.

If you are interested please call me for more information or to come look at it. The truck is located in Flagstaff. My number is 518-956-4676 and the name is Dillon. Feel free to contact me for anything regarding the truck.

The truck is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction early.

Pickup required. I may deliver pretty much anywhere in the country if gas is paid, contact me prior to auction end for more information. $500 deposit required at auction end, full payment required at pickup/drop off or prior on paypal, or 5 days whichever comes first.

Toyota plans biggest stock buyback in over a decade

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

At the end of December, 2013 Toyota had a cash stockpile of 1.8 trillion yen ($17.5B US). As of March 31, at the end of its current financial year, company coffers are expected to swallow another 1.9 trillion yen ($18.4B US) in net profit - said to be a record sum for the Japanese automaker. In a gesture signaling a turnaround from the horrors of the global recession, Bloomberg reports that Toyota will buy back 60 million shares of its stock, as much as 1.89 percent of the company, for something like 360 billion yen ($3.5B US). It's the first buyback since 2009 and the largest buyback since 2003, when it spent roughly 390 billion yen ($3.8B US) repurchasing shares.
Company president Akio Toyoda founded the Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF), a non-profit that will support international groups working on transportation issues in emerging markets. Half of the stock that Toyota buys, 30 million shares, will be sold to the foundation via the Japanese Trustee Services Bank for one yen per share, the dividend providing the foundation's initial funding. The other 30 million shares will be canceled, a company spokesman telling Reuters that the company wants to reward shareholders.
Industry analysts have been asking Toyota to either return money to shareholders or invest in new factories, but Toyota has ruled out the latter. After getting burned with excess capacity when the financial crisis came, the company is focused on extracting efficiencies from the plants it already has. Toyota has said it plans to complete the buyback by June of this year.

The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.
Or you can go straight to the high-res galleries above.
