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. ...

THERE IS A REASON THAT THESE TOYOTA TERCEL "WHITE HAWK" EDITIONS ARE ESPECIALLY COVETED. TOYOTA MADE A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF THESE, HALF PAINTED WHITE AND LABELED THE "WHITE HAWK" EDITION, AND THE REMAINING HALF PAINTED BLACK AND LABELED THE "BLACK HAWK" MODEL.

THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY NICE CAR. ALTHOUGH ALL THE WHITE HAWK AND BLACK HAWK EDITIONS CAME WITH ALUMINUM "MAG" WHEELS-- IN ADDITION TO OTHER UPGRADES--THIS CAR IS IN REALLY GREAT CONDITION, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RUST, DENTS OR OTHER DAMAGE. VERY SIMPLY, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "SPECIAL" VEHICLES THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY BULLET-PROOF, REGULARLY EXCEEDING 400,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WITH LITTLE MORE THAN REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND AN OCCASIONAL SET OF TIRES AND BRAKES.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO FOR MY DAUGHTER. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SUNK SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO THE CAR--WITH NEW TIRES, NEW SHOCKS, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE. HOWEVER, HE WAS A LARGE MAN, AND BY THE TIME HE GOT AROUND TO REGISTERING THIS CAR HE HAD GAINED QUITE A BIT OF WEIGHT, AND COULDN'T FIT INSIDE IT ANY MORE. MY DAUGHTER DROVE IT FOR 2 YEARS BUT RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW HONDA, SO THIS LITTLE SCREAMER HAS GOT TO GO.

HERE A LIST OF WHAT IS NEW OR RECENTLY INSTALLED ON THE CAR

1) NEW WHITE PAINT, APPLIED LAST WEEK. PAINT IS THE SAME HEAVY-DUTY RUST INHIBITING PAINT THAT IS APPLIED TO NEW YORK STATE SPREADER HOPPERS. IT WAS ACTUALLY PAINTED IN THE SPREADER/HOPPER PLANT, WITH THREE COATS OF GRAY PRIMER FOLLOWED BY THREE COATS OF FINISH PAINT APPLIED.

2) NEW DRILLED-AND-SLOTTED ROTORS WITH CERAMIC BRAKE PADS. CALIPERS HAVE BEEN PAINTED WITH RUST INHIBITING RED PAINT.

3) NEARLY NEW TIRES HAVE ABOUT 4000 MILES ON THEM.

4) NEARLY NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND EXHAUST

5) NEW SPARK PLUGS, WIRES.

6) NEW WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT.

7) NEW TIMING BELT

8) NEW SERPENTINE BELT & ALTERNATOR BELT

9) NEW CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SEALS.

10) NEW PERFORMANCE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL.

11) NEW FUEL INJECTORS

12) NEW COIL PACKS

13) NEW WALKER SHOCKS

MOST OF THE ABOVE PURCHASES--OTHER THAN THE DRILLED-AND-SLOTTED ROTORS AND CERAMIC PADS, COIL PACKS, FUEL INJECTORS AND SPARK PLUGS --WERE MADE BYTHE PREVIOUS OWNER, AROUND THE TIME THE CAR TURNED 195,000 MILES. i HAVE A STACK OF RECEIPTS THAT YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH DOCUMENTING MUCH OF THIS WORK.

THIS TOYOTA RUNS REALLY STRONG, AND THE AVERAGE COMBINED CITY/HIGHWAY MPG IS 32 MILES-PER-GALLON. BY THE WAY, ONE ADDED BONUS: BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT LENSES ARE THICK GLASS--AND NOT PLASTIC--THEY WILL NEVER TURN DULL, CLOUDED OR WORN LIKE THE CHEAP PLASTIC LENSES.

THE CAR HAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, HOWEVER THIS IS A MOOT POINT SINCE IT IS APPARENTLY NOT IN THE SYSTEM AND THEREFORE HAS NOT BEEN CALLED FOR EMMISSIONS. IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF THE IDIOT LIGHT, MY MECHANIC FRIEND INQUIRED WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON, AND WHEN I INFORMED HIM THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I FLOORED THE THROTTLE GOING UP A HILL (WHICH COULD CAUSE A BRIEF "STUMBLE") HE ADVISED ME IT WAS A CLOGGED "EGR" VALVE.

THIS TERCEL IS VERY CLEAN, HAS NO RUST ISSUES, NO TEARS IN THE UPHOLSTERY, AND NO DENTS OR DEFECTS.

THIS TERCEL IS AN EXCELLENT VALUE, AND AS WITH ALL MY AUCTIONS I NEVER INSULT A POTENTIAL BIDDER'S INTELLIGENCE BY USING A "BUY-IT-NOW" OR SUGGESTING A MINIMUM PRICE. ALL MY AUCTIONS START AT $.99 CENTS AND END WHEN THE WINNING BIDDER DETERMINES THE FINAL SALE PRICE.

PLEASE NOT AND BY THE WAY--BECAUSE E MY 100-PERCENT "FEEDBACK" RATING. LOOK THE PHOTOS OVER CAREFULLY AND CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND TAKE A TEST DRIVE. I AM LOCATED IN NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT, IN A SMALL "BEDROOM" COMMUNITY. YOU CAN FEEL COMPLETELY SAFE EITHER INSPECTING, TEST-DRIVING OR PICKING UP THIS CAR.

Toyota makes $100M investment to boost Indiana Highlander production

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Toyota has announced that it will be making a $100 million investment in its Princeton, IN factory in a bid to increase production of its popular Highlander CUV. The move will create 300 new jobs by 2016 and increase the total number of crossovers the plant can produce by 30,000.
Toyota currently builds the Highlander, alongside the fullsize Sequoia, at Toyota Indiana's West Plant. The additional capacity, though, will be sent to the East Plant, which is currently responsible for production of the recently refreshed Sienna minivan.
"The Highlander has been a great product for our plant," Toyota Indiana President Norm Bafunno said in a statement. "Establishing Highlander as the 'bridge vehicle,' as we call it, between the East and West plants increases our ability to meet customer needs for our outstanding products. This exciting news is a true testament to the capability of our hard-working and dedicated team members."

How Toyota's neighbor delayed 23,000 of its deliveries

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Don't you just hate when your neighbors' mess becomes your problem? Toyota certainly has good reason to be upset, after an dirty mishap at a steel mill delayed thousands of vehicle exports from its nearby port in Nagoya, Japan, (pictured above) by as much as a month.
The messy situation occurred on June 22 when the mill near the port lost power and had to burn off an excess buildup of coke oven gas - which isn't exactly a situation friendly to living beings or the environment. According to Automotive News, it caused a massive amount of smoke to emit from the plant that fell as soot and tar on about 23,000 vehicles that were waiting to be shipped out. Getting the models properly cleaned off has been quite a task. A team of 5,000 workers were at the port until this week getting them gleaming again.
Potential Toyota buyers in North America have no need to fret about getting a sullied car, though. A Toyota spokesperson told Automotive News that none of the vehicles were bound for this continent. The automaker is reportedly considering asking the mill's owners for reimbursement for the cost of the weeks of cleanup. Paying for the mistake is, after all, the neighborly thing to do.

Toyota Me.We concept is a multifunction Tupperware car [w/video]

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Not to be outdone by the Renault Twin'Z concept penned by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, Toyota has partnered up with French designer Jean-Marie Massaud to create the 2013 Toyota Me.We Concept. Unveiled at Le Rendez-vous Toyota in Paris, the Me.We Concept is an attempt to imagine a car that can be appreciated by owners across a wide variety of lifestyles while being courteous to the environment, too.
From a "Me" perspective, the concept is highly customizable with removable body panels, and even though it might look like just a small hatchback from the outside, Toyota claims it can also be used as a pickup (with an extendable rear panel), a convertible (with a neoprene roof panel) and even an off-road vehicle. As for the "We" part of the car, it's a fully electric vehicle with individual in-wheel motors and a battery pack mounted under the load floor. The concept has a weight of around 1,600 pounds kept low thanks to an aluminum chassis, but it also features renewable bamboo wood for the floor in addition to the fully recyclable polypropylene exterior body panels.
