You are looking at a 1987 Toyota pickup, 4wd short bed, and probably the most original, low mileage truck left out there. Sorry, couldn't find a listing for these trucks, so I had to list it as a Tacoma. Below is a brief description.

Exterior: This truck mainly appears to be all original, right down to the paint. I can't see anywhere that it has had paint work or any kind of accident, shine is just gone on the top surfaces. Even has the original stripes on the sides. Front bumper is some kind of aftermarket with a Ramsey winch, has a matching camper top, and aluminum wheels, that's all I can see that is not factory. Have no idea if winch works, but it's all there. She has the typical rust in the driver's bedside where the lower panels meet up, and a small spot on the passenger's. Front fenders have holes above tires, I can buy these for $80 a piece c.a.p.a certified aftermarket if the new owner wants them and I also can get the lower side pieces even cheaper. Frame is solid in all the places they rot. Doors, rockers, cab corners, floors, pretty much everything else on the truck seems to be very dry, rust free, and not beat up or abused. Inside of the bed has a liner, pulling it up, seems like it's been in there since new. Floor is nice, just scratched from liner. Tailgate is in amazing shape, rear chrome bumper looks nice as well.

Interior: The gray insides are original also, and in super condition to be almost 30 years old. Headliner is not sagging and is clean. Seat is cloth and not worn or ripped at all. Door panels are not peeling up or trashed and still look new. Dash has some sun cracks, other than that,  it's good to go. Carpet needs a good cleaning. Very nice in my opinion.

Drivetrain: Everyone knows how popular these 4wd trucks have always been, especially with the 2200r engine and a 5 speed tranny. This one runs exactly like it should with only 87,000 original miles. When I got it, it had been sitting for years. I had it looked over by my local mechanic,  made sure all the 4wd stuff worked as it should, so all it needed that he could see was to be tuned up, put a brand new clutch in it, as well as a radiator. There is no drips or spots on my driveway from leaks, engine looks good and dry. Almost new Goodyear Wrangler 235/75/15 tires on aluminum wheels. Sorry guys, no a/c, but the heat is toasty. 

In closing, you will be hard pressed to find one of these trucks with this kind of mileage, for this reserve price, and in this condition. Attention: I HAVE NOT CLEANED A THING ON THIS TRUCK. I want the new owner to see it in it's original condition the way I recieved it. This way nothing is hidden or doctored up in an attempt to deceive bidders. Please check my feedback before bidding, I pride myself on describing my vehicles accurately and everyone always seems to be happy. With that said, don't assume anything, ask me any questions you may have about it and you'll get a truthful answer. I just, this week, paid the mechanic over $800 for all the work done to ensure no problems to the new owner. Also be advised, almost all my auctions end early with a serious offer, so don't wait until the end if you really want one of my vehicles. If you have a feedback score of 10 or less, or a negative score, please contact me before bidding or it will be canceled. These ads are expensive and I have had problems lately with non payers and slow payers. Thanks for your understanding and for taking a look at my auctions, don't hesitate to contact me with any concerns. Take care and good luck.

Krafcik says US Gov. shutdown is slowing Oct. auto sales

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

The government shutdown is eroding consumer confidence in the auto market, says John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai's US sales unit, and could lower October sales by as much as 10 percent, Automotive News reports. "It's that anxiety that keeps customers, potential buyers, on the sidelines when making a big purchase like an automobile," Krafcik says, adding that industry sales could be off by five to 10 percent in October compared to September.
The fourth quarter, which started October 1, usually consists of increased auto sales as dealerships clear their lots to make room for the next year's models. Leading up to the fourth quarter this year, the auto industry was doing well in the fragile, recovering US economy, although September deliveries decreased by 4.2 percent, due in part to this year's Labor Day sales being recorded for August.
To help its customers, Hyundai announced it is deferring new-car loan and lease payments for furloughed federal workers until they're called back to work and also offering them a three-month payment deferral if they buy a new Hyundai in October. "We have already had requests from over a thousand people to have their payments deferred," Krafcik says.

Autocar pits McLaren MP4-12C against turbo Toyota GT86

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The Toyota GT86, in all of its forms, is one of the best-handling cars money can buy, a trait that can put a smile on the faces of all but the most jaded car enthusiasts. But if good handling isn't what they're looking for, then what is? Our first guess would have to be more power, something the 200-horsepower Toyota would benefit from. Autocar tries out that theory by driving two turbocharged GT86s on track, then pitting the more powerful one against the 616-hp McLaren MP4-12C in a track battle.
The first GT86 turbo Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe drives makes around 255 rear-wheel horsepower and a bucket-load more torque than the stock car. That's plenty of power to either have a lot of fun or get into a lot of trouble. But the GT86 that Sutcliffe tails in the McLaren is race-prepped, stripped to the bone and wears slicks to harness a heavy-hitting 335 hp at the wheel. Weighing in at under 2,500 pounds, the Toyota can't overcome the MP4-12C's power-to-weight ratio of 5.3 pounds per horsepower, but it comes pretty close.
Enjoy a lot of chasing and drifting fun in the video below!

Car thief caught in McDonald's drive-thru after placing order with owner

Mon, 20 May 2013

If you're going to drive a stolen car in a town of roughly 77,000 people - about the same size as Scranton, Pennsylvania or Ogden, Utah - you want to be very careful about where you drive that stolen car to eat. That's the lesson Katherine York of Kennewick, Washington learned when she was arrested for being in possession of a stolen Toyota 4Runner that also happened to have a bunch of stolen clothes from JC Penney and Sears in it.
Virginia Maiden woke up Tuesday, May 14 to find her 1995 4Runner - that she thought she forgot to lock - swiped from her apartment building. At 3 PM that afternoon, while working her shift at the drive-thru at McDonald's that day, she saw her truck in line. York hadn't even gone far - the McDonald's is not even five miles from Maiden's apartment. Maiden called the police, they showed up just as York was leaving, and York made another vehicle switch, this time into a black-and-white for a trip to the Benton County jail. They don't have McDonald's there, but she won't have so far to go to eat.
