Hi up for sale is my 1984 Toyota Camry LE Liftback.  This is a rare model of this car, I have only seen maybe one or two other lift-backs still driving around.  I currently drive this car 100 miles a day back and forth to work and am only getting rid of it since my employer is relocating me back into Manhattan so I no longer need to own a car.


I absolutely love this car.  I have previously owned an '84 Corolla and am very familiar with these cars and can attest to their reliability and how fun they are to drive.

This car is from California and was shipped over early in 2012 by the previous owner.  With that in mind she has little to no rust to be found and has almost all original equipment in working order.

Here is a log of what I have done to this car:

Purchase Date: 6/5/2012
Miles Driven: 16211
Average MPG: 31.41 (I track every tank of gas and this is an average since purchase)

49,500: Transmission Filter Replaced, Fluid Drain and Fill
49,500: Fuel Filter
49,500: Crafted Battery holder bar using threaded rod to replacce missing one
49,900: Drained and Filled Transmission Differential
50,500: Rear Windshield Wiper
50,863: Timing Belt, Crankshaft Seal, Camshaft Seal, Oil Pump Seal, Water Pump, Power Steering Belt, Alternator Belt, Radiator Cap
51,000: 2 New Tires, Balancing of all 4 tires, Wheel Alignment
52,000: Oil Change (10W-30) with Castrol High Mileage and Puralator Gold Filters
56,200 :Oil Change (10W-30) with Castrol High Mileage and Puralator Gold Filters - Transmission Drain and Fill
59,200: Replaced bad O2 Sensor, spark plugs (iridium replacements), PCV valve and Grommet
60,200 - Replaced Bad Thermostat and old Valve Grommets
61,200: Tire Rotation
61,200: Oil Change (10W-30) with Castrol High Mileage and Puralator Gold Filters - Transmission Drain and Fill
62,000: Drum brakes, pads and springs replaced
65,200: Air Filter
66,300: Replace master brake cylinder and bled entire system out (original brake cylinder will come with the car)
66,300: Oil Change (10W-30) with Castrol High Mileage and Puralator Gold Filters - Transmission Drain and Fill

The headliner is coming down in the back of the car.  I've meant to replace but haven't gotten around to it but, it seems to be holding up fine and hasn't fallen any more since I originally purchased it.  A replacement kit can be had for ~$100.

The distributor cap looks good and shows minimal wear which is why I never replace it.  

All CV joints look good and show no signs of breaking.

Transmission shifts well and I have been changing out the fluid every time I do an oil change to keep fresh fluid in her.

There are small dings which are in my pictures but overall the paint is in great condition.

Coming with the car will be:

2 Puralator Gold Oil Filters
Box of Dorman Oil Plug Washers (note this car uses rubber washing instead of crush washers from the factory - IF YOU USE CRUSH WASHERS IT WILL SLOWLY LEAK OIL)
Set of 4 Rim Hubcaps (see the trunk picture below - I took them off because some of the clips are broken and as a result the caps make noise as you drive - replacement clips should fix the problem)
Toyota Factory Shop manual (Green Book in trunk Picture)
Haynes Repair Guide
Old Master Brake Cylinder (just pulled out of the car this week and replaced - I cleaned the old one and it can be reused if you get a rebuild kit)

I have attempted to list any deficiencies this car has.  The cruise control works great but on steep hills will downshift aggressively.  The power antenna as I said no longer works but I lift it up with my hand before driving. Econ and Power transmission modes still work.  Interior is in great condition aside from a few stains as noted in the pictures.  The exterior door handles are a little pitted but will clean up with some metal polish (see picture).

I hate to part with this car - but it is too hard to keep it parked where I live and it will better serve someone else.  I tend to get 2-3 compliments a month on the car it it really is a head turner - is is extremely rare to still see one of these rolling around.

Good luck and feel free to ask any questions.

2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Ultimate Edition

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Introduced at the end of 2006, this is the last year for the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the reincarnated FJ40-series Land Cruiser that will shortly journey to Takama-ga-hara, the Plain of High Heaven. In its first model year, we drove it to SEMA and found it, shall we say, coarse. It bobbled on the freeway and droned in the cabin, its boxy interior providing four bounce-boards for unpleasant frequencies. Tall mirrors helped one work around the eclipse of vision aft of the B-pillars, but navigating traffic required forethought and technique. Its turning circle was measured in kilometers. For the first two years of its life, it needed premium gas. It may have been fun to look at, but we couldn't wait to get out of it.
That's not the case anymore, and now the FJ Cruiser is poised to join a long list of vehicles that got better and better, then got axed.

Toyota RAV4 EV lease gets cut in half to $299/month

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, now is definitely the time to buy or lease. Following price drops on just about every other EV on the market, Toyota is looking to push a few more all-electric RAV4 crossovers out the door over the Labor Day weekend. The Detroit News is reporting that, through September 3, anyone looking to get into a RAV4 EV in Los Angeles or San Francisco, can get a deal: a $299 a month lease (no word on down payment, though) or zero-percent financing for 60 months for buyers.
The $49,800 RAV4 EV normally leases for twice as much - $599 a month - so this move could be an attempt to sell more of the 2,600 units Toyota has planned to produce. Or maybe, if you thought $599 was a fair price, you can now get two RAV4 Evs. Although temporary, the price drop comes at a time when many other EVs on the market have had their prices reduced, including the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Smart Fortwo ED and Honda Fit EV, not to mention already low prices for the Fiat 500e and Chevy Spark EV.

2014 Toyota Highlander recalled over seatbelt anchors

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Toyota has announced a small recall of its redesigned, 2014 Highlander over issues with one of its seat belts. The affected vehicles, which were built from November 20, 2013 to January 18, 2014, could have a seatbelt assembly in the middle seat of the third row that wasn't properly secured to a floor anchorage at the factory.
In total, 7,067 of the new Highlanders are included in the recall, which was discovered not after a crash, but during a post-build inspection at the factory. It's unclear if there have been any injuries as a result of the faulty seat belts.
Toyota is set to inform owners of the affected vehicles as well as dealers with the recalled Highlander models in their inventory. Naturally, repairs will be performed free of charge. For the full bulletin form the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, scroll down.
