1989 Toyota 4-runner First Generation Low Milage (silver W/black Top) on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:123200
Location:

Denver, Colorado, United States

Denver, Colorado, United States

Rare, low milage (124,XXX), original everything, 1989 first generation 4 Runner.  V6 SR5 EFI.  Silver w/Black roof.  (Top has never been taken off).  Right now there are no other 1989 first generations being offered on Craigslist OR Ebay!  There are just a couple first generations of any year, a couple in original form. And when they do come up, they will not be nearly as nice as this one, or have the amount of recent maintenance. 

We had it shipped to us knowing of a valve cover leak, which made the undercarriage quite messy looking at first.  The seal has been replaced, along with two cam cap seals, where the leak was really coming from.  Because we wanted this as our daily driver, we did all of the necessary maintenance the former owner didn’t get to.  Water pump replaced, new power steering pump installed, rear brakes done, new front locking hubs installed, shifter grommet replaced, radiator flushed, oil changed and tune up with new plugs, transmission fluid drained and filled, transmission serviced, and new air filter.  Tires still have lots of tread on them.

It is original, but not perfect.  It is in the type of shape a vehicle made in 1989 should be in: paint has faded a bit on top, a bit on the hood, etc.  The dash, like every single one of these, has a couple of cracks, but not nearly as bad as I’ve seen.  Other than that, it is in really good shape. 

The story … of how it came to us and why we must part with it:

We bought this less than a year ago from the original owner, who kept it south of the bay area in California.  It had a out lived its use for him as a family car “to go to the store in.”  We bought it for my wife’s dream of “a first generation 4-Runner sailing through the breeze with the top off.”  She has a new dream of camping without needing a tent, and we just bought a 2003 Eurovan, much more practical for us and our three year-old (and our new 90lb. dog!).  

Happy bidding!

2014 Toyota Camry to get 'significant' attention?

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

With competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan mounting, Toyota is getting set to unveil a refreshed version of its Camry sedan a mere two years after it was fully redesigned.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its US sales crown in the midsize segment. That desperation has lead to increased incentives and fleet sales in a bid to keep its title, all while trying to keep pace with a slew of very competent competitors.
"It's safe to say we'll be doing something with it," Bill Fay, group vice president of the Toyota brand in the US, told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show. "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."

Subaru to stop building Camry for Toyota in the US

Fri, 09 May 2014

It was back in 2007 that Subaru of Indiana Automotive, under contract from Subaru minority shareholder Toyota, built the first Toyota Camry at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Rumblings of the end of that contract work have been around for a while, as Subaru talked of expanding capacity to build more units and add a line for the Impreza, and Toyota talked of moving Camry production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The news was official internally last November when SIA Executive Vice President Tom Easterday told the Louisville Courier-Journal that Camry production would end. Now, Automotive News reports that both automakers have admitted publicly that the end will come in 2016.
SIA currently has a 170,000-unit capacity devoted to the home-brand Legacy and Outback models, while a $400-million expansion increases that to 300,000 units to prepare the facility for Impreza production in two years. Freeing up the 100,000 units of production devoted to the Camry means a 400,000-unit capability, which is far more than Subaru needs at the moment, but the Toyota exit will allow it to expand any way it sees fit. Subaru has said it will absorb the workers on the Camry line and no jobs will be lost, the mayor of Lafayette saying the development could change the timetable for the expansion.

2015 Toyota Sienna SE keeps the swagger, adds thoughtful updates [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Toyota found huge success with its "Swagger Wagon" rap video for the 2011 Sienna SE. It showed that a minivan could actually sort of maybe be fun and didn't have to be a lame vehicle for people who long ago lost their sense of humor. Now that there is a slight refresh for the 2015 model, the company is trying to capture that effervescent image again with a bunch of videos aimed at families.
For the latest launch, Toyota is partnering with some family-friendly online video stars and having them show off the Sienna's features. It's releasing YouTube videos from the creators of Action Movie Kid and Convos with My 2-Year-Old and a Vine from Eh Bee Family, and they all hope to show that it's cool to be a family with a minivan.
In terms of actual changes, though, the update is pretty light aesthetically, but the new tech inside seems aimed directly at mom and dad. However, unless you've got a sharp eye, spotting the exterior refresh might be tough. Toyota is tweaking the front end slightly by adding a dark mesh grille and trim. The headlights are also slightly reshaped to incorporate a new strip of available LED running lights.
