I purchased this All Trac for my girlfriend to drive to her work in Tahoe during the snowy months.  Unfortunately we had the least amount of precipitation in Tahoe history and the car was used less than 500 miles over the winter.  I have owned 40 + German cars and this was my first Japanese car purchase.  I've been impressed to say the least.  Other than needing a clutch the car has been nothing but reliable.  I replaced the clutch with a proper genuine AISIN Toyota clutch.  I replaced the belts, distributor shaft seal, put in new Toyota coolant, gave it Mobil 1 5w-40 and it has been nothing but reliable.  I also replaced the middle and rear sections of the exhaust system with new bolt in parts.(no hacks or welds)   I am moving and its going to be easier to just let this project go.  I had plans to repaint it and bring it back to as close to new as possible but I have other projects that come first.  

I purchased the car outside of Reno, NV.  It still has the Window sticker from Carson City Toyota where it was originally sold new in the glove box.  Although somewhat worn the car still has its Toyota of Carson City, NV floor mats in it.

The car has been in the Reno/Carson valley area its whole life and is extremely dry with no rust.  The paint on the roof has typical Nevada sun damage as well as the hood and trunk.  The car does have a few dings and some light damage on the passenger side rear wheel well.  The car has an aftermarket sun roof that does not leak.  Please take a good look at all of the photos.

The burgundy interior is in nice condition.  Dash is perfect and has a carpet cover but there are no cracks under the cover. All gauges work. It has a CD player from a Scion which fits perfectly and looks stock.  Drivers seat has an area of wear (see photo)  Passenger side rear door interior panel is damaged. (see photo).  All four power windows / locks work.

Overall this is a nice solid car that could be made really nice with little effort.  I can't really think of a more reliable AWD sedan for the money.

I urge you to check the car out in person before placing a bid on it.  This is Ebay. The high bidder owns it.  I will answer all questions within 24 hours and take additional photos when requested.  Vehicle is currently located in Grass Valley, CA.  Please email me with any questions through Ebay.  Let me know if you would like additional photos of certain areas.



What it needs:
A/C system needs to be charged
Battery does not appear to be the original size but works just fine
Hood has a ding on drivers front corner, few dents and dings
Trunk lid does not stay open on its own
bumper covers are faded and slightly wavy
Shocks appear to be original, drives nice but probably due for replacement
Paint is oxidized from sun in areas.
I get a small drop of oil on the ground after parking it.  Have not looked into it.

THE GOOD
Clean California title
Passes smog with flying colors
All gauges/ interior lighting works
All exterior lights work (turn signals, tail, headlight, etc)
Shifts perfectly.
Push button center diff lock comes on and off almost instantly like it should

*****I require a $500 deposit through Paypal within 24 hours and the rest in cash upon pick up.  Money orders and cashiers checks will need 5 days to clear my bank.  The car will not leave my possession until my bank says the funds have cleared.*****

I've been asked what the car needs to be driven.  Nothing really.  I drove it to San Francisco and back recently (3hrs each way) without issue.  The car has been mainly sitting for the last 6 months and should be looked over as any car that has not been driven much should be. There is a slight noise on deceleration every once in a while.  It is not coming from the driveline.  I think it may be an exhaust mount/ hanger.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.

Vote to unionize Toyota Canada plant faces delay

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

Volkswagen isn't the only automaker with high-profile unionization efforts afoot at one of its North American factories. Unifor, Canada's largest private-sector union, is attempting to organize Toyota's factories in Ontario, reports Reuters. A vote was originally set for next week, but Unifor has apparently found more workers eligible to vote, delaying the proceedings. It hasn't rescheduled the ballot yet, but claims there are 7,500 employees with the right to vote, with over 3,000 having already signed union cards.
Toyota is pushing against organizing, saying that workers already have a payment and benefits near the top of the industry, and noting that it has never laid off a permanent employee in Canada. Unifor has reportedly countered by saying that about a quarter of the workforce is operating under a temporary contract, which receives lower benefits.
The automaker has three factories in Ontario - two in Cambridge and one in Woodstock. To form a union, a majority of eligible employees must vote to join Unifor. If successful, they would be the first wholly owned Toyota plants in North America to be organized. Previous attempts to unionize the Japanese automaker's Canadian factories in 2001 and 2008 failed due to lack of support.

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush

Tue, Aug 29 2017

File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.
