1981 Toyota Fj40 on 2040-cars
Prosper, Texas, United States
I am selling a beautiful 1981 Toyota FJ40 that is in great condition. It is all original with the 2F engine that runs great. It has 214k miles but 70k miles were riding behind a RV bus. The engine is very clean and it does not leak a bit of oil. The front and rear jump seats are in great condition. All electrical works and all gauges work, except for fuel gauge. I think it just needs a sending unit. There is no rust on this FJ, the previous owner just had it repainted using the original correct Toyota Freeborn Red. The paint job on the FJ is awesome and looks great. Pictures usually make things looking better then they are, not here, the FJ looks better in person. The top fiber glass top is in excellent condition and it also was sanded down and repainted. During the painting the whether stripping on the doors was taken off and so was the headliner, so those need to be replace. Cool Cruisers of Texas sells both of them for roughly $150 bucks. If I was going to keep FJ, it demands a better set of tires. The ones on have roughly 60-70% tread left. This FJ spent its life in AZ, so the underside is in great condition. With all the fjs I get, I am going to flush the system out and give it a good old fashion tune up. I am going to drain oil and replace with full synthetic oil and toyota Filter, Wics air filter, Wics gas filter, drain and replace radiator fluid, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires and many other small items.
This FJ is in great overall condition, but it is not a showroom condition. With a few small upgrades this FJ will continue to rise in value. Please let me know if you have any questions. Your are welcome to preview the FJ. The FJ is being sold as is and does not have any type of warranty. I do not need help selling this FJ, scammers will be reported and low ballers will not get a response. A $2,000 deposited is due within 24 hours after the auction and remaining balance is due within three days. Please make sure you have the funds if your going to bid. I do NOT accept paypal as there have been issues with it, so wire or cash preferred. I will help out with shipping, but buyer will pay the cost of shipping. I have a lady that has moved over 10 fjs for me over the years and she is very fare and honest. I will be happy to give you her name and number if you need a shipper. Thanks |

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
2015 Toyota Sienna
Thu, 25 Sep 2014It's hard to love a minivan, but it's very, very easy to use one. More than any other kind of vehicle - save a panel van, perhaps - the minivan is the most appliance-like of four-wheeled transportation devices. And most minivan buyers don't need to love their purchases; they just need to use them. So when it comes to a minivan's driving dynamics, who cares?
Well, we do. So we perked right up when Toyota talked about refinements it made to the 2015 Sienna, starting with some 142 added spot welds made to the body structure. Normally not stop-the-presses stuff, but Toyota says the added reinforcements prompted Sienna engineers to recalibrate the springs and shocks for improved handling, and our very limited wheel time along the (admittedly benign) roads on the Big Island of Hawaii revealed the 2015 Sienna SE model's handling to be tidier and more engaging than you'd expect for a porky, 4,560-pound, eight-passenger box on wheels.

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits
Tue, 08 Oct 2013Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.
