1997 Toyota Landcruiser AWD SUV. I am the second owner (it was sold by a Knoxville Physician to a car dealer I know and I immediately turned and purchased from him - to it is listed as 3 owners, but I am in the real sense the second household this car has been in) and this has been my daily driver for 6 years.  Has 227,100 miles, leather interior seating for 7 including the rear cargo area fold-up seats.  Am/fm/cd with ipod interface, sunroof, ac, heat and rear heat, power windows and locks, tilt, Class 3 hitch (It pulls our 3500 pound wakeboard boat easily).  Replaced radiator and battery last year. Michelin X-ice tires are 70-80%.  Has never been in major wreck or had frame or panel damage. Rear right bumper was hit before I bought and repaired.  I have had to touch up the exterior paint in places over time and those touch up places have faded some so that needs to be done again IF you wanted it to look near perfect - but at any distance, you do not see even those - no rust, all body panels are solid - Interior is very clean - only issue is the front leather finish is wearing off in places - the leather itself is in good order - no rips, tears.  Carpet has no rips or tears or holes, anywhere - no major or unsightly stains.  Small bulb which illuminates the AC power control is out, power controls still work, just need the bulb replaced behind if you wish to see the power level buttons at night.  This never bothered me enough to fix.  Mechanically, has been very sound over the years - almost always garaged - Uses some oil on higher speed interestate type driving over hours of driving - This takes 4 or so hours of high speed travel to notice any oil use.  Also, does have a small oil drip (one drop a night or so). Again, this never bothered me enought to fix it and it doesn't leak enough to have to adjust fluid levels.  Overall, for the age this is a reliable, well maintained car. I have not seen one personally from this age in better condition.  I have been on the fence for months about selling it as I have a newer Landcruiser now and am just having a hard time parting with this one.  Feel free to ask me any questions. Reserve is set well below NADA retail (and I am using the correct mileage adjustment), and vehicle is up for sale locally so auction can be cancelled upon local sale.

Toyota to shock with Supra concept for Detroit Auto Show?

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

We've written about approximately 187,000 rumors about a return of the Toyota Supra to the land of living cars. There are a couple of good reasons for this: first, Toyota won't stop dropping hints about a new halo sports car. Late this summer, Toyota sales guru Kazuo Ohara called a Supra successor "one of the options we have" - a comment followed by a hint that there would be "better news" on the subject in the future.
The second reason for all the Toyota tales is, of course, that we all have missed the Supra since its departure from the US market in 1998. So, when a member of the Autoblog team is party to a nudge-and-wink-filled conversation about a new Supra concept headed to January's Detroit Auto Show, we tend to listen up.
A 400+ horsepower hybrid sports car would match up pretty well with the upcoming NSX.

2013 Toyota RAV4 earns 'poor' rating in IIHS small overlap crash test [w/video]

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested a batch of SUVs in its small overlap frontal crash test earlier this year, it held off on putting the Toyota RAV4 in the blender because the new, 2013 model was due to arrive shortly after the test. The new crossover might be better than it was before, but it could still only manage a rating of "Poor" in the test that has been a bugbear for a number of manufacturers.
Among other issues, the IIHS noted that the steering column moved seven inches to the right causing the crash test dummy to practically miss the airbag, the dummy's left foot was trapped in deformed sheetmetal and the dummy's head hit the instrument panel.
The 2013 RAV4 earned the Top Safety Pick rating by scoring well in the Institute's four other tests. A good score in this particular test would have earned it the Top Safety Pick+ rating that is so far only claimed by the 2014 Subaru Forester and 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the SUV category. There's a press release below with more details and a video of the test.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
