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.

Redesigned 2014 Toyota Tundra spied testing in Canada

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

When Toyota first announced that it would be bringing the 2014 Tundra pickup to next month's Chicago Auto Show, we weren't quite sure if the truck would fall into the "all-new" or "refreshed" category. After seeing this latest set of spy shots, we're striking "all-new" from the record, but the enhancements do appear to be more than just a simple nip/tuck.
While the overall shape and greenhouse haven't really changed, heavy cladding found on the front fascia suggests that a totally redesigned nose is in store, with a fully reworked grille flanked by new headlamps. Smaller styling details are hidden by the big panels of camouflage, but we anticipate a few minor tweaks to the rest of the pickup's design when all that black tape finally comes off.
Mum's the word on powertrain enhancements (if any), as well as any changes that have been made to the chassis. But with the updated 2013 Ram 1500 already on the street, the recent unveiling of the updated 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, and a preview of what's to come from the likes of Ford, we certainly hope Toyota has injected enough new blood into its 2014 model year pickup to keep it competitive in this American-dominated segment. We'll know for sure come Chicago.

Toyota settles first wrongful death suit related to unintended acceleration

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Toyota's sales seem to have rebounded from the unintended acceleration issues from 2009 and 2010, but the automaker is far from done dealing with this situation. Following a settlement worth up to $1.4 billion for economic loss to affected vehicle owners, Toyota has settled rather than going to trial in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from an accident in Utah in 2010 that left two passengers dead. This isn't the first case in which Toyota has settled, but it was the first among a consolidated group of cases being held in Santa Ana, CA.
According to The Detroit News, this case was scheduled to take place next month, and it was for a November 2010 incident in which Paul Van Alfen and Charlene James Lloyd were killed in a Camry when, based on findings by the Utah Highway Patrol, the accelerator got stuck causing the car to speed out of control and hit a wall; the terms of the settlement were not announced.
The article says that while Toyota will settle on some cases, it doesn't plan on settling on all of them as it still wants to be able to "defend [its] product at trial." This will probably be the case in suits claiming that software for the drive-by-wire accelerator was the cause of an accident in a Toyota or Lexus vehicle. The question of whether or not the electronic accelerator played any role in this problem has been a hot-button topic since the beginning. Toyota has issued recalls in the past to attempt to prevent unintended acceleration caused by trapped floor mats and faulty accelerator pedals, but it also says driver error was to blame in some instances.

Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.
