This 4Runner is all original, including paint, interior, and chasis. I am the second owner and it has always been a California registered vehicle, so any rust issues are minimal and light. No rust on body anywhere. It has been garaged almost since new and the original paint has been professionally guaged, rated almost like new. Tires are new. I had an upgraded alarm system installed when I bought the vehicle and also had the center padded console cover professionally recovered in leather; just like new. I also had the front headliner replaced because a seam was split. In other words, I wanted this 4runner to be as good as possible in appearance. It's a true 4x4, first generation 4Runner and I think it's one of the best original 4Runners out there. I checked the 4x4 wheel locks and they work fine and the 4x4 feature works very well. The 6 cylinder engine starts up quick, runs well, and doesn't miss. It passed California smog with flying colors just a couple of months ago. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly with no jerks or slips. It looks to me like the removeable fiberglass top has never been removed, but I can't guarantee that. Heater and AC work fine. The radio is the original one and works, but the volume knob creates static until you find the right volume. I didn't check the cassette player. The previous owner added a nice set of fog lights, a custom chrome brush bumper, and cruise control.  I installed a new battery just last month, and it has a three year guarantee on it. All windows roll up and down smoothly and completely. The rear power window operates perfectly and the drop down tailgate opens and closes just like new. The shocks were replaced at one time, but I have to say that this truck-like frame is rough on the bumps. It might need new shocks or perhaps other work to smooth out the ride. On the road, it drives smooth, straight, and well controlled. Only the bumps are noticable to me. As a side note, I had this exact model 4Runner a few years ago and took it up to 240,000 miles before replacing the engine and selling the vehicle in order to buy a new pickup truck. If this 4runner does the same, it represents a great value for someone. Please note, some of the decals have parking dings and fading. There is one small ding on the left fender well, and these points are in some of the photos posted here on Ebay. This vehicle has never been wrecked and I have some maintenance records that go with it. Also, I have the original owner's manual and two sets of keys with alarm fobs on them.  Please email me with any questions and I'll be glad to get the answers to you if I can. I will cooperate with your shipper of choice. Vehicle is sold as is, where is, with no guarantee. Just a few months ago, it was safety and mechanically checked by a dealer before I bought it so I believe it's in fine condition overall.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.

NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.

Toyota recalls 4,000 Tacoma pickups over valve springs

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

When you build as many cars and trucks as Toyota does, you're bound to run into the occasional recall. In the past month alone, the Japanese auto giant has recalled over 800,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza models over problems with the air-conditioning units, and 10,000 more before that over windshield wiper issues. Now Toyota has issued another recall notice, but this time for far fewer vehicles.
The recall revolves around the engine valve springs in the 2013 and 2014 Tacoma, specifically those fitted with the standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and not the optional 4.0-liter V6. The issue is that the valve springs are prone to cracking and breaking over time, and results from improper maintenance of the manufacturing equipment used by one of the two suppliers that outfit Toyota with the components in question.
All told, some 4,000 vehicles will be subject to the voluntary recall, the owners of which will receive notice by mail. If you think that could be you and want to get a jump on the problem, you can read the announcement below and call Toyota yourself.
