1993 TOYOTA SR5 4X4 PICKUP (pre TACOMA, Ebay does not recognize this)
Very hard to find this vintage in this condition.  One owner, 0 accident, low 142K miles (that's an average of just 7K per year), original paint, unmodified, very straight, very clean.  Pics are not photoshoped other than license plate blur. 
Very well equipped SR5 model has upgraded trim and wheels, power windows, power mirrors, sun roof and such. Truck has been well cared for, and not abused. The perfect interior is all the indication of caring owner.
All, what would be considered normal, repairs for its age have just been done.
   If you know the history of these Toyota trucks then you know the early ones built in Japan are considered to be superior to those built in US or Canada. However they were not free of all problems. Although far less rust issues with body and frame than the others that followed, they are not immune. This is a shining example of a true survivor. The body is rust free. The frame has had surface rust in typical areas and addressed by cleaning, and protecting with POR 15 incapsulating rust proofing throughout.  The lower control arms were showing the worst, so they were replaced along with the uppers with new. Doing so warranted replacing all the ball joints, and bushings, even though they were not showing wear.  I'd say the front end is now rebuilt to new.     
  List of other recent work and new parts making truck ready for another 23 years of service (all work completed in the last two weeks). If it was in question it was simply replaced with NEW!. I don't believe in bandaids to buy time.
*  full tune up (normal stuff -plugs, wires, cap, all filters, all fluids, etc...)
*  valve cover gaskets
*  all brake lines front to back
*  all fuel lines 
*  fuel pump assembly
*  fuel tank
*  front brake calipers, pads and rotors 
*  rear brake drums 
*  all shocks
*  timing belt with water pump 
*  hard trans cooler line set
*  radiator
*  trans filter, fluid and pan gasket
*  front and rear chrome bumpers (originals were rusting but very straight)
*  fog lights
*  front alignment
*  Perrelli all-season tires
*  alloy rims (originals are included in sale with used tires at 30% remaining tread life)
*  master brake cylinder  
*  AC converted to and charged with new type
*  muffler and tailpipe 
*  several other unmentionables
 
As you can see, I've spent a few dollars on this truck.  I avoid adding it all up because it will only make me depressed.  The only number(s) that matter(s) is what its worth $$$ to you! (true of any car for sale) My loss your gain.  My situation and needs for this truck have changed so I'm listing it.  This truck is legit. You will not be disappointed. 
It's still a 23 year old vehicle, so it's NOT PERFECT, There are imperfections, so please be realistic.  But it is GREAT.   PICS SAY IT ALL!

Only because I HAVE TO SAY IT!  Sold As-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I am not a dealer.  Must be paid in full before taking it anywhere.  Clean title in hand. I will try and answer any questions through Ebay messages in a timely manor.  I will not disclose my reserve. I will gladly deal with serious buyers and consider serious offers. If I feel you are not serious you will be ignored. I reserve the right to end this auction if reserve has not been met at any time. I will not waste your time if you don't waste mine. If your funds are not ready and avail, please don't bid!
All that said. Good luck.

Toyota reports huge quarterly profit increase, raises forecast for the year

Sun, 04 Aug 2013

Toyota isn't just the world's largest automaker - so far its the biggest winner for quarterly profits. With an enormous $5.5 billion take during Q2, Toyota took advantage of the weak Japanese yen and strong US demand to record a 94-percent improvement in profit over the same period from last year. So far, Toyota brought in larger profits than Ford and General Motors combined.
Toyota is showing no signs of slowing down either, as it has bumped up its forecast for full-year global production, going from 9.94 million to 10.12 million vehicles, on the back of a 13-percent drop in the buying power of the Japanese yen versus the US dollar. That strong exchange rate is largely responsible for Toyota's big jump in profits, although it also managed to shift 1.3 million vehicles in the US market this year. Strong Camry sales have also helped. But while Toyota is raking in the cash, it actually saw a small drop in market share, down 0.1 percent to 14.3 percent of the US market.
As is the case with most automakers, Toyota seems flummoxed by Europe, where it recorded less than one percent of its revenue. Still, as Automotive News points out, Toyota only maintains a 4.5-percent market share in Europe and is far less dependent on the continent than other manufacturers. Toyota also struggled at home, much like Honda. With 525,777 units sold, JDM sales were down almost 51,000 units, although Toyota still saw its operating profit jump from $3.5 billion to $4.6 billion.

TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

The 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!

Toyota to end Australian production by 2017

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

There is more bad news for the Australian auto industry today, as Toyota has just announced that it will follow General Motors and Ford in shuttering its manufacturing operations on the continent. Production and assembly will cease by the end of 2017, but Toyota will remain in Australia as a sales and distribution company.
"We did everything that we could to transform our business, but the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia," said Toyota Australia President and CEO Max Yasuda.
In an official statement, Yasuda said that the closure would directly affect 2,500 manufacturing employees and an unknown number of corporate workers. However, a report in the Australian newspaper The Age suggests that the jobs of 24,000 workers at Australian auto suppliers could also be in jeopardy. Toyota currently builds its Camry, Camry Hybrid, Aurion sedans in Australia, along with four-cylinder engines, and it plans to begin importing the Camry and Aurion after production stops.
