1985 Celica Convertible with extremely low 46,xxx miles.
There were only 4 to 5 thousand of these made ever; a handful in 1984 and the rest in 1985. I only know of one or two other with fewer miles. This is the first 'official' Celica convertible year and also the last year that Celicas had rear wheel drive. I've had it for about 5 years and have driven it only during the summer, maybe 2,000 miles per year. It runs great and I've loved driving it - I'm just making room for a different vehicle. This is the second one of these I've owned; I really liked the first one but it was really beat up and couldn't pass up getting this one with its low miles. When I bought it, it had just been restored to working order after many years of sitting and had been retired from the DMV records. It was given a paint job as part of that restoration. Overall, it's in really nice shape: - The upholstery is all intact. Rugs also. No cracks in the dash. - No rust. - A brand new top and headliner were professionally installed in 2012. The hydraulic system to raise and lower the top works fine. - The radio is a 5 year old Kenwood with aux / usb in; I kept the original radio / tape desk as well. - The 3 piece fiberglass parade boot is in nice shape. These are a bit more rare than the car itself. - I have an extra set of seat belts for it. They were only made for this one year, so when I got the chance to get a backup set I jumped on it. - Tires are maybe 4 years old but have only been driven on less that 10K miles. - I put a new muffler and catalytic converter on it when I got it. On the down side: - It leaks some motor oil (it does not burn oil at all). My mechanic said just drive it that way. Seems like it's leaking less lately, maybe an old seal is reseating after that long sit? No other leaks. - There's a couple of dings, none too bad. - A/C doesn't work. I've never tried to fix it - it's a convertible. - The mirrors could be painted. The ones that came on it looked good but didn't work mechanically, so I replaced them with working ones. I believe I still have them as well. - Even with the new top on, it will leak some in moderate rain around the front corners. I've pretty much only driven it in nice weather. - The automatic radio antenna raises to different levels each time the car is turned on. - The paint job it last got was fine, but it could have used better prep in a few spots. That's about it. It's a cool, classic, rare convertible that's lots of fun to drive. |

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
Toyota recalls 337,000 RAV4s and HS250h models for tie rod failure
Thu, Sep 1 2016UPDATE: The post has been updated with additional information from NHTSA. The Basics: Toyota is recalling 337,000 2006-2011 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers built between October 31, 2005 and September 7, 2010 as well as 2010 model year Lexus HS250h cars built between July 6, 2009 and August 26, 2010. The Problem: When either an affected RAV4 or HS250h is given an alignment and the tie rod adjustment nut on the rear control arm isn't tightened properly, the threads on the tie rod can start to rust. If this happens, the nut may break off and throw off the alignment drastically and suddenly. This isn't a case of the car simply pulling to one side, either. This would seriously upset the balance of the car and could cause the driver to lose control and crash. This is also the third time these vehicles have been recalled for the same issue. Injuries/Deaths: It's unknown if this control arm issue has resulted in any injuries or deaths. Autoblog reached out to Toyota for more information, but a company representative told us that the company isn't able to discuss injuries or deaths caused by this issue (if any) at this time. Based on information from NHTSA documents, it does not appear that any crashes, injuries or deaths have been attributed to the defect addressed in the current recall. The Fix: The dealer will completely replace the rear suspension assemblies at no cost to the owner. The tie rods and nuts will also be coated in epoxy to prevent future rusting from occurring. According to Car and Driver, the previous recalls involved tightening nuts, coating decent tie rods in epoxy and completely replacing rusted ones. The car magazine reports that further complaints were filed and the company is now replacing all components regardless of condition. If you own one: Toyota will notify owners of affected cars by mail. Owners can also check whether their cars are affected by entering the VIN at safercar.gov/vin. Owners with questions can also reach Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987.
