The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Good condition. Minor dings, scratches, and rust spots. Mechanically in very good condition. New battery and brakes recently serviced. No accidents or major work done on vehicle. One owner since it was new. Original clutch and transmission still work great. Tires are in good shape with much tread life remaining and doughnut spare was replaced with full size tire. New windshield in 2009. Minor repairs made recently include installing wheel well guard replacement parts (snow chain damaged the driver side) and Marlin Crawler shifter lever ball seat and socket upgrade (to keep in gear in 1st and 3rd gear on downhills). I regularly change oil (3-5K miles). Truck bed has had a bed mat since it was new and other than one rust spot, paint below mat is in great condition."

This truck has served me very well for over 12 years.  I bought it with the intention of getting 20 years and 250,000 miles from it and it is well on it's way to meeting that goal.  That was before a second child was born this month, forcing us to buy a new Tacoma that will comfortably hold two children and two adults (including one 6' 5" who needs the leg room...).  I have been thoroughly pleased with the truck and am the original owner.  It has been located in the mountains of Western North Carolina since buying it and has made many road trips of 2,000 to 5,000 miles.  I have used it primarily as a commuter vehicle, but it has also served as a light duty work truck and camper.  The topper is a Leonard and has been with the truck since the first year I owned it.  The colors match perfectly and the topper has three sets of sliding windows (one on the front, facing the cab, and two on the sides at the rear).  This truck is in great shape for its age and has functional cruise control, air conditioning, and CD player.  Everything else is quite simple - no electronic locks or power windows. Tires are a step up from road tires as the truck has been garaged at homes on dirt roads for most of its life.  AutoCheck is clean with a 96 rating.  Kelley Blue Book value is $6,800.

A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction closing.  Full payment is required within 7 days of auction close.  Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up or shipping.

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited

Thu, 08 May 2014

What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Toyota recalls 209,000 FJ Cruisers over seatbelt issue

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Toyota has announced that it will be issuing a substantial recall of the FJ Cruiser for a problem that could cause the front seatbelt retractors to separate from the vehicle body. This recall will apply to all FJ Cruisers - from 2007 through 2013 - totaling around 209,000 units.
The problem stems from the FJ Cruiser's pillarless door opening design that has the front-occupant seatbelts attached to the rear doors. Toyota says that when the rear doors are "repeatedly and forcefully closed," the retractor could completely separate from the door frame.
While there is no information about this recall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration yet, Toyota says that there have been no accidents or injuries associated with this issue. No specific fix or recall date are given, but the official press release is posted below.

Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas

Fri, 02 May 2014

Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."
