Monroe, Washington, United States

 Pretty much your standard Land Cruiser. Just in better shape than most I feel. Carfax says brakes were done at around 204,000 miles at Meineke. What I've done: New belts, Tires, 17" Toyota wheels, 1.5 inch wheel spacers all around. New wool seat covers. New floor mats. New remotes. New drivers seat belt. The old one was lazy and chaffed from getting stuck in the door. New one snaps back crisply. New shocks come with car but not installed.

Always been my second car. Starts right up every time. Engine is smooth and quiet.  No leaks or burning of any fluids. No overheating. No funky idling. Accelerates as it should. Shifts as it should. Brakes as it should. No rattling from inside or outside the cabin. No exhaust leaks. Transfer case works as it should. No water in oil or vive versa. Drives straight down the road with the fingertips of one hand. Cruise control works.  A/C blows ice cold. Heater blows warm, dry and fresh air. HVAC fan works on all 4 speeds. Windows all go up and down. Antenna goes up and down. All doors unlock with new remotes. New remotes do not have panic button. Paint shines like few others of its age. Sunroof does not leak. Very little wear on steering wheel and shifter leather suggests (to me),  its been driven mostly on the freeway. I never towed with this car. No smoke or pet odors. No excessive air released from fuel tank upon cap removal. Looking under the car, there is very little rust. really just the running board brackets have surface rust. A lift kit would be easy to install. No rusty nuts and bolts. We don't salt our roads. Can only find two small door dings after 16 years! None of the 4 rock chips in the windshield are in the drivers line of sight to the road. Just passed emissions and is licensed until 3/15. Easy, fun, and a pleasure to drive.

Always titled in Washington state. I bought this from the second owner who lived in Kirkland, WA. His story was that this was the car he used while attending OSU for an engineering degree. He looked the part, and the car had some OSU swag on it. He used this info to articulate how well the car was cared for by an engineering student. First owner is a was The manufacturer, as with all cars. I just traded in my daily driver Prius for a Tacoma 4X4. Don't need this anymore.

Personal items not included in sale. Camp gear, Club, cleaning products.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.

Toyota nudges US sales projections up to 2.25M

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Toyota has raised its expectations for 2013's US sales for the third time since the end of 2012. The new target rests at 2.25 million units, when sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion are taken as one. Subtracting Lexus, Toyota is still expecting to move over two million vehicles in the US by the end of 2013.
According to a report from Automotive News, the sales expectations came from Bob Carter, senior VP of automotive operations for Toyota USA, during a dealers during a meeting in Atlanta. The heightened expectations go along with Toyota's predictions for the US market as a whole, which it expects to grow to 15.5 million units by the end of 2013.
Besides an overall, national uptick in new vehicle sales, Toyota is also expecting a big push as it puts the next-generation Corolla to market during the second half of this year, along with the Tundra pickup truck. Meanwhile, dealers were shown images of a refreshed Camry, set to arrive in 2015, and reported that it's "more than a nip and a tuck," according to the AN report.

VW is world's second-best-selling automaker, GM falls to third

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Every year when we start talking about which automaker is the biggest in the world, there always seems to be at least a little bit of controversy. For 2013, Toyota handily took the top spot with 9.98 million sales, but it's the runner up spot between General Motors and Volkswagen that is starting to create a stir.
Based on our earlier report, GM's 9.71 million vehicles put it in second place ahead of VW's 9.5-million-vehicle effort. Now, The Detroit News is reporting that VW is claiming a tally of 9.73 million sales, including figures from MAN and Scania - heavy-duty truck divisions under the VW AG family. The article points out that Toyota's sales figure includes its Hino line of trucks, but these might still be considered light-duty vehicles while MAN and Scania build tractor trailers.
